HYDRO CREDIT ADDS T0 SURPLUS (Continued from page 1) that it paves the way for consid- eration of the H.E.P.C. of Osh- awa's request for a reduction of rates for the city. The credit note handed to the city, while not large, indicated that the present basis of charging the city for elec- tricity is a fair one, and, with the large surplus made on the electri- cal utility last year, that a reduce tion in rates is warranted, Mr. Conant said. The local commission egeveral weeks ago, passed a resolution urging that an average reduttion of ten per cent. be made in elec- tric rates in the city. The H.E.P.C. was asked to conduct a survey of the situation in Oshawa, and tw make its recommendations as to the definite reductions that conld be put into effect. This does not mean that a roduction of ten per cent. will be made on all services in the city, domestic, commercial, and power, it is pointed out, but the commission asked that the re- duction average ton per cent. over the whole city. Thus some sorvices may enjoy a reduction greater than ten per cent. while others may not be roduced to this extent, depending on what profit each class of service has been showing. One indication of the credit note received by the local Commission, is that the roduction of $2.50 per horsepower granted by the H.E.P, C. in the wholesale cost of power to Oshawa last year was justifiagd. The rate in 1929 was $25.50 per borsepower, while tho rato last year to the local Commission wos $34 per horsepower. Tha average peak load for the year 1930 was 9,736.7 horsepower per month, and on the basis of this average peak the rate of $24 per horse power worked out to ba slightly more than the actual cost of eup- plying power to Oshawa, hence the credit note. Since this balance of $582.70 works out at only a few cents per horsepower, Jt is doubtful if any further roduction will he made in the wholesals cost of power to Oshawa this year, Mr. Barnes commented. Tho peak in January was 9,517 horsepower, which was under the peak for January last year, which was 10, 636, and also below the average for the year 1930. KINSALE Mrs. Greenwood, sister of Sam | Farandale, is recovering steadily, we are pleased to report. It is with feelings of deep re- groet we report the sudden death of Mr. Joseph Harlock, west of the village. While in Greenwood one day last week, he was seized with a paralytic stroke from which he never survived, never regaining consciousness. He quietly passed away on Friday night last, Nr. Harlock purchased the farm ad- joining the Harburn property, known as the Highfield homestead some few years ago and sglnco coming here has made many warm |, friends. .He was a most honor- able man, good kind neighbor and kind husband. Mr. and Mrs. Har. lock were much respected in the | | 0 | | / community and much sympathy is expressed for Mrs. Harlock in this unexpected and very sad bereave- ment. On Thursday of last week, Mrs. Beall, of Whitby, was interred at Salem, after a lingering illness. Mrs. Beall was tho eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mountjoy, who for many years live ed at Salem Corner, where Mr. Connors now lives, After the par- ents passed away the family scat- tered. Maggie, as she was famil- iarly called, married Mr. Beal] and lived for years in Whitby where she had many warm friends. The only surviving mombers of the family, her brother James, and sis- ter Allte, both of Detroit, attended her funeral and met some of the old school mates and associates of years ago. Mr, Beall has the sym- pathy of his many friends in this community. The many friends of the late John Saddler were sorry to hear of his death and burial in Grove- side Cemetery last week. He was raised in this community, being a brother of Miss Susie and William of this place. He got his education | in our school here and farmed for years in our midst, He was uni- versally respected. He spent sev eral years in Oshawa, after leav- ing' the farm and after moving to Brooklin, where he and Mrs, Sad- dler lived for several years. He was a man of good habits, choerful and was pleased to meet his old friends, was much respected and made many warm and trusty friends. The intelligence of the death of Willlam W. McBrien, who passed away at his home in Brooklin, was not unexpected, as he had heen in falling health for several years. He spent his younger days in this community, being born and raised half a milo south of Stevenson's Corner, where he farmed most of his life, a few years ago selling' out and moving to Brooklin. His father came from Ireland over cne hundred years ago and settled in Ontario and raised a family of ten children. He was the last survi- vor of a much respected family, The funeral was held on Wadues- day afternoon of last weex to Salem Cemetery conducted by Rev. P, L, Jull, of the United Cnurch, Brooklin.
