Mr. Broomhead said after the meeting that the impact on a home that uses 1000 kwh per month will be $3.97 per month. However, the 455 "all-elec- tric" customers will find their bill even higher because the end-rate in- crease on the last kwh is higher, than the increase for the first 250 kwh. When questioned about this by 'Commission chair- man Ted Griffen, Mr. Broomhead said in the past the small user has been charged too much and large users not enough, and this was an attempt to make the rate structure more equit- able by not penalizing the small power user. The new rate structure which was approved by the Scugog Commission last week, was worked out by Mr. Broomhead based on the wholesale increase, the elimination of the anti-infla- tion rebate, and the local utility's overall financial picture. Region scuttles building plans From page 1 if these departments were brought back to. the head- quarters building, there would be a further saving of $106,000 for such things as phone service, printing, mail-room, and reception, and staff travelling time and expense. Oshawa councillor John Aker, who is chairman of the Durham council finance committee, said that the Region may not have enough money to pay for committed debts such as roads and re- payment of provincial loans. He also said that projected development levies are down 21 per cent in October of this year alone, and suggested that there will be a continued slowdown of general deve- lopment in the Region. Those councillors who argued in favour of at least continuing the full discussion during budget debate in 1980, also suggested that the Region probably can't afford the $6 million project at one time, and Whitby mayor Jim Gartshore said that the project should be phased. At one point, the debate bogged down in procedural wrangling when councillor Reg Rose introduced an amendment that the recommendation go to the 'finance committee for a full report on all the financial implications, and Newcastle mayor Garnet Rockard wanted both the finance committee and management committee of council to prepare a joint report. However, both .of these amendments to the original 'recommendation were "defeated easily by the coun- cil. © While the council did vote to put the brakes on the project, members approved payment of the architect's fees for the work done so far, a sum of $50,000. The final drawings and preparations for the project would have cost an additional $400,000. Although the vast majority of council indicated last week that they don't want any part of an expansion at this time, the issue is far from dead, and likely will come up again when council gets down to setting its capi- tal budget in February or March.

The newly formed Scugog Commission, which is taking over from the old Port Perry Commission because of changes in the provincial legislation, is made up of Bill Van Camp, Chuck Willis, Bert Dejeet, mayor Jerry Taylor and chairman Ted Griffen. For Mr. Van Camp, Mr. Dejeet and Mr. Willis, it was their first exposure to the methods by which Ontario Hydro sets the rates for the local commission to approve, and they commen- ted a couple of times during the meeting at how little effective control they have over how the commission charges its customers. While the average in- creases for Port Perry cus- tomers are high in 1980, Mr. Broomhead told the Com- mission last week that they are in line with hikes to other utilities in this area, and in some cases are lower. ; A Fa A NM Tag Py .
