AT INVERMERE PT, HYDRO ORGANIZATION (By J. E. Middleton). Each municipality which makes a contract with the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario for a supply of energy undertakes to construct a Distributing System ae- cording to standard specificatigns, and under the supervision of Hy- dro-Electric engineers. The muni- cipality finds the money for this construction and gets no financial assistance from the central orgami- zation, When the plant is complete and the energy is being sold to consum- ers the revenue collected is ap- plied first of all to the carrying of this local investment. Interest on the debentures is provided. A sink- ing fund contribution is paid to the Municipal Treasurer. A certain percentage on the Distributing in- vestments is set aside for Depre- ciation and contingencies, and the cost of operation, maintenance and administration is met. In the cost | of operation appears the amount | paid to the Hydro-Electric Power | Commission of Ontario for high- | tension energy delivered to the mu- cicipality's sub-station. | Clearly such an organization is | as much the property of the muni- cipality as a waterworks plant. The | community's credit backs the de- bentures issued for the construc- tion of the plant. The admimistra- tive commission or committee which manages the plant is appointed by the municipal Council and is res- ponsible to it. The municipal treas- urer holds the sinking fund.
