THE CASE OF HYDRO Some member.^ of the Walkerton Council de.iired to ask th? Hydro people to tender on a .service fo • their town, but the motion in Council wa : defeated. Tho friends of the Hydro were wi-e in defeating this motion, becaa.se Hydi.i does not tender for any sc A-ir?. It pive^ r-timntes in- stead, and v.n liav- yet to hear of a caae where the estimate was not p;- ceedrd in actuality. There are n lot of nianicipalities in this district of Oatarlo who can bear evidence to tha truth. We would like to unde stand wiiy it ia that Hydro cannot (rrant a state • rate for it.*! sen ice.

But there are man;, things in v.hich Hyd i nii(tht make itj local plans plainer to the pavine fiti- r.ens. As it is, the truth i.-i hidden by Q nia.-.> of technical verbiage, which no fin3 but an expert can explain.

EDITORIAL NOTES remarked that the newspapers have become so dinstinctly part of the community that it would be difficult to conceive of any live community devoid of a local newspaper, and that not le.ss inseparable and mutuaUy dependent are the newspaper and business. It is virtually impossible to |>oint out a business success with- in the last two decades which has been achieved without the aid of newspaper advertising. Under mod- ern conditions any town without a (?oj<l newspaper and active business cntcrprispi soon becomes an actual reproduction of the poetical "Deserted Villasfc." accepting; whatever trade Is left to it but ceasing to be a go-get- ter in attracting trade its way.

KENNEDY â€" : We Deliver in Town : â€" 4 The Bell Telephone Company and its financial policy IP given anthority by parliament, the Bell Tele- phone Company will issue new shares of stock over a period of years, at intervals and in amounts depending on the expansion required to serve public demand. The new shares will be offered for purchase by shareholders and the price will depend on the man- agement's judg:ment of conditions. This method is the exact procedure by which tha company has built the present telephone system in Cntai-io and Quebec. > In forty-eigfht years the telephone company has nei- ther suggested nor received a government subsidy..... In forty-eight years it has never split its stock, nor issued shares that were not fully paid for at par or more. In forty -eight years. it. has never been exploited for the benefit of cither individuals or groups, although it is now one of the largest institutions in th<j ^ country. has met double obligation TN choosing and following this financial polic7 â- â- â€¢ the management of the company has had con- stantly in mind the double obligation of those wh» operate a public utility. There is, first, the cbligation to the uisrs of th3 telephone system to give them proper service at low- est possible cost. And, secondly, there is the obliga- tion to the owners to protect their property and pay tkem a fair return on the money ti^ey advance to buiM the system. These two obligations have been scrupulously ft:l- Cllcd. Service has been given by steadily extending tl.j system from a few hundred telephones in 1S30 to over 700,000 now in use. The company i.s spending over 127,000,000 this year to extend and improva the system further, and has made plans to spcni over $120,000,000 in the next five years. And this service has been given at low cost. Ths ntes paid by telephone subscribers in Ontario and Quebec are the lowest in the world for comparable service. The Board of Railway Commissioners has officially acknowledged that they are more rcosoa- able than other rates in Canada. The 15,3C0 owners of the system receive a fair ra- tum, but not more than a fair return. The com- pany's policy has handed out no "melons" nof extra dividends. A test of this is the actual experience of a share- holder who bought Bell Telephone stock on the mar- ket fifteen years ago at 1145 and has since takon advantage of every opportunity to buy new shares as they have been offered. His annual return today, on the money he has paid for his shares, is less than seven per cent. To Ls exact it is 6.9 per cent. in the national interest 'T^HE management does not favor any chanj:^ in its ^ policy, because: 1. the record of the company's policy in efficiently fulfilling tbe obligations to both users and own- •rs Jwtifies its continaance. 2. if, however, the financial policy of public utility compaaiea la to ba fixad by parliament it iboali be nado applicable to all such companies rather than to aingk out one company which does not deserva special tcttrictiont. 3. a change in policy is not in the national intereat; - it meana that Canadian investors will be attracted to put their money into numerous American utility companies with which the telephone company is now competing for new capital and where it ia the reoognlaed practice to offer new chares ta itockholdera. The present policy of tha company safccnardi fB> ture expanskm of the telephone system by retaining sui^rt of reli- able investors, and promotes the national interest of Canadians in Canadian development. .
