ANI AC( TO Another Hydro Rate Reduction For Ail Rural Consumers A further Rural rate reduction from 4c to 3½/c per kilowatt hour on the first block of energy used in any one month by Ilydro Rural consumers, will go into effeet on ail bis rendered on or after May lst, 1945. This Rural rate reduction will mean a saving of appro- ximately $300,000 a year to Flydro Rural consumers. The New Uniform Rate Structure IWrnlIBe: 3 1-2e per kilowatt hour for first block of energy. (formerly 4c) 1 6_10c per kilowatt hour for second block of energy. 3-4e per kilowatt hour for ail additional energy. No service charge on Farm Service . .. a service charge of 56c gross per month on Hamlet service. The more Hydro you use the less it costs on the av- erage per kilowatt hour. Increased use therefore brings lower costs. The important revisions in Ru- ral rates, made effective in January 1944, have re- sulted in a greater use of energy, enabling the Com- mission to further reduce the cost of electricity to Hydro Rural consumers in Ontario.
