p when your rates are about to go up we think you deserve to know the reasons why With most products you buy you never get to know about the increased price until you reach the cosh register The few pennies added to a can of this or that just seems to happen Now that we re forced to increase our rates we want to tell you plainly what s happening and wc want you to understand why we have to do It First there the wholesale power we purchase directly from the Ontario Hydro generating system This year it will cost us some 15 per cent more A number of factors have forced this Increase to us rising labour charges higher construction costs and increases in the cost of practically every in or business you care to name are also affecting the generation of electricity Our local costs are going up too Lines transformers poles gasoline for our service vehicles all these essentials have been rising at an almost rale In the past we have been successful in absorbing many of these increases rather than passing them immediately on to you However wove now reached a point where the present rates will not return sufficient revenue costs Thus in spite of many economics wove made and will continue to make we must now ask for a rate Increase increase that will be to handle the rising costs outside our direct control iince 1970 rates to elon Hydro customers has not increased In the meantime through careful management Commission has absorbed four increases in Ihe wholesale cost of power from the Ontario Hydro While it wouldn I be human lobe pleased about any kind of increase we hope understand
