The new rates will resuit in a substantial saving ta mn Farin and Hamlet consumera, and their form is considerably simplified. The new rate system provides for the following: " A uniform rate tc, ail Rural customers, now served direct by the Commission. " The elimination of service charges toalal farm usera. " The reduction of service charges to ail Hamiet customers. *b The co-ordination of ail present Rural Power Districts into one Provincial Rural Power System with the same meter rates applying throughout ta the various classifications. lb The existing consumer classifications, totalling il in ail, have been reduoed to 5 clearly defined classes: i.e. 2 wire hamlet, 3 wire hamlet, farm, commercial lighting and summer cottages. New Rates Benefltlng Approximately 97% of Ali Rural Consumers Are as Follows: These new rates apply oniy ta rural consumera served direct by this Commission in Rural Power Districts established under Sections 71 ta 79, inclusive, of the Power Commission Act. They do not apply ta, consumera 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 resuit of these new rate reductions, Hydro Rural consumera wiiI save an estimated amount exceeding $500,000.00 per annum. Experienoe justifies the expecta- tion on the part of the Commission that this reductian in revenue will be recovered in a short time through the increased use of electricity ini the rural areas. The application of these uniform rural rates will enable the Commission ta later extend service ta many areas not now served and ta supply econormicaily, consumera in the mare sparsely settled areas. In most rural 4istricts the new rates will provide a saving for the majority of consumers. The following examples indicate the estixnated consumer saving in a district at present supplied under a rate of 6c per KwHr. for the firat block and 2c per KwHr. for the second block.
