uniform hydro rural rates effective january 1st 1944 the hydro electric power commission of ontario announces new uniform rates for electricity to all consumers served by the commission in the rural areas of ontario to become effective january 1st 1944 the new rates will result in a substantial saving to most farm and hamlet consumers and their form is considerably simplified the new rate system provides for the following a uniform rate to all rural customers now served direct by the commission the elimination of service charges to all farm users 6 tnc reduction of service charges to all hamlet customers the co ordination of all present rural power districts into one provincial rural power system with the same meter rates applying throughout to the various classifications the existing consumer classifications totalling 11 in all have been reduced to 5 clearly defined classes i e 2 wire hamlet 3 wire hamlet farm commercial lighting and summer cottages new rates benefiting approximately 97 of all rural consumers are as follows farm service no service charge fbit slack 30 kwhr per kilowatt of demand per month at 4c per kwhr nt mock of ao kwhn per kilowatt or demand per

inclusive of the power commission act they do not apply to consumers in rural voted areas or townships operating under section 54 of the power commission act in the latter areas such as the townships of ancaster brantford east york etobicoke london nipigon north york scarborough toronto and trafalgar the present rates will not be affected as a result of these new rate reductions hydro rura consumers will save an estimated amount exceeding 500 000 00 per annum experience justifies the expecta tion on the part of the commission that this reduction in revenue will bt recovered in a short turn through the increased use of electricity in the ruraf areas the application of these uniform rural rates will enable the commission to later extend service to many areas not now served and to supply economically consumers in the more sparsely settled areas in most rural distncts the new rates will provide a savmg for the majonty of consumers the following examples indicate the estimated consumer saving in a distnet at present supplied under a rate of 6c per kwhr for the first block and 2c per kwhr for the second block standard farm consumer a comparison in 3 months net cost if use is
