There was quite a large atten-d- a _____ In The Last Three Years Orono Could Have Paid Half Of Purchase Price I he Hydro - Elec hr i c Power System in the village of Orono has been one of -steady growth and expansion with yearly profits. _ Iu 1918, the first year of Hydro administration that records are available for -a complete year, show 133 subscribers with a revenue of $2,343.56. This has -grown year by year til 1937 when, there were 2,25 subscribers with a total revenue of $6,622.19, which illustrates a march of yearly progress. During these years from 1918 to 1937 many extensions -and replace- ments gf the -system have been made, including new poles, primary wires; new s-wi-tches and new meters, all be- ing taken care out of revenue received from the. system, and -at the same time, year in and year out, large profits have been made for the Hydro-Eli'ec- tric Power Commission of Ontario who own the system. The Police Trustee Board has records- of the operation- of the Orono system from 1982 to 1987, both years inclusive. During these six years the Hydro- Electric Power Commission of On- tario has paid for horse. power con- sumed, maintenance and operation of the distribution system, transformer maintenance, meter maintenance, meter reading, billing and collecting, superintendence and general' expense: and after deducting all expenses, in con nection wi th the sys t em the I T v ;dro-Electrie.,,,Power Commission of Ontario have reaped the handsome profit over this six-year period of -ten, thousand six hundred and fifty dollars, and thirty-four cents ($10,650.34). This sum is more than the total cost of the system today, including both principal and interest. Had the citizens of Orono purchas- ed their electric system in: 19-32, it would have been all paid for out of. the revenue and we would all have been enjoying a much reduced Hy- dro rate. In January, 1935, the citizens had the opportunity of vot- ing on this bylaw for the puirchase. of their electric system, the result' - w-as practically a three,to one against the purchase, Ju-st, what that vote has done for us may be better under- stood when you realize that the Hydro-Electric Power Commission, of Ontario have maintained the system, paid all charges in connection with its operation, and showed a gross profit over the three-year period of 1935-36- 37 of $6,650.641 ' This amount would have been sufficient to have paid more than half of the debenture issue with the result that- the management would mow be in the position to re- duce the Hydro rates to- all consum- ers and thereby make use of the Hy- drous policy which is, power at cost. •Tit will readily be -seen that there is li'llle dioubt as to the possibilities of tiro Eleidt-ric -System in- Orono paying- debenture issues and interest out of anee and a very promising club is in, the . offing with quite a. few new young members joining. Some of those present were, Dr. McKenzie, Mr. S. J’ay ue, Mr, P. Winter, Miss Somer- ville, Misa Gladys Ca'ley, Miss Betty Rowe, Oapti and Mrs. Fred Lyeett dropped in during the evening, also Rev, and Mrs. Lrtriewood and Mr. Smith from Arkansas. A business meeting was held and the following officers were elected for 1939 : President, Major J. C. Gamey; Vice-Pn-sidenr, Mrs. O. W. Rolph ; 'Secretary, : Miss Marjorie Adiamei; Courts Committee, Mr. J. J. Corn- ish ..and- Mr. A. West, . Everyone voted it a very pleasant evening with a suggestion to have- these social evenings more o-fton.
