T I Il E I 4 I The. following comments wilî help to clarify the effect of the new RESIDENTIAL In 1966, the average use of electric energy by residential customers was 412 kilowatt-hours per month. Under the new rates the charge for this amount of electricity will be increased by approximately 760, or a total of $1.52 per two-month bill. This average calculation indicates the moderate effect of the change in rates. COMME RC IAL/POWE R Commercial and Power custoniers will nnw be billed under a General Service classification, in which more empliasis is placed upon total energy use rather than the demand. The change in the amount of each customer's bill due to this transition to a more equitable method of billing, varies widely, depending on the ratio of the load to the amount of energy used. Because of this it would serve no purpose to indicate the effect on an average bill. However, the large majority of customers wil be affected only to a small degree. Small Commercial customers presently billed at donestic rates will now be billed nt General Rates as above. LATE PAYMENT CHARGE In the past the buis have been subject to a 10% prompt payrnent îliscount. Under the new rates the bis will be net with 5% added for late payment.

NOTICE 0F ELECTRIC RATE ADJUSTMENT A sharp increase in the cost of bulk power, wages and materials, particularly in the last two years, made it necessary to review the existing rate structures. As a result a comprehensive rate study was undertaken by the. Commission in conjunction with Ontario Hydro. This revealed the need to adjust rates to provide additional revenue and at the same time correct some inequities that have developed in the present rate structure. The new rates as set out in the schedule below will go into effect with ail billing dated on and after January 1, 1969. a also respon- great pile of ed this problem by permit- I Northumberland and Durbam. -Orono Times. flic eaiadian Statesman, Bownianvllle, Nov. 13,' L isten Everybody!

I know fram expeience the difficulties faced by the family with Young children trying to find something suitable to rent. Anything within aur budget that wel- comed Our Young family generally had some more dubiaus aspect which made It unfavorable for aduit ten- ants. We were lucky, however; we were able ta buy a house of Our awn. No, this hasn't solved ail aur prablems, we stili have to sacrifice some things but we do have a goal. 1 can remember, too well, the panicky feeling we had before. when after meet- ing our commitments we found ourselves no farther ahead than last month. Mmnd you I'm fot knock- lng apartmnents, I think the Intimacy and convenience they provide Is wonderful for workIng couples or tbose whose children have grown, It takes real courage, how- ever, ta come home to a wo- man who bas been cooped up ail day ln a small, thin- walled apartment with a de- mnanding baby and/or a monosyllabic, byperactive toddler. Many proposais bave been brought forward ta solve tbis problem. A glance at the want ad section of any newspaper reveals there ls no sbortage of houses avail- able. The difflculty for most familles Is getting together the down payment. I understand the govern- ment af Australia bas solv- rates : 5 s E ting parents to w1thdraw the total amount of farnily allowance for which they are eligible, to ho used as a down payment an a hof. Thus a family wltht. children. one eight and M three (based on $600 per chlld per month 'til age 16) would receive $1,512.00. A ceiling could be placed on the amount with largest familles baving first priority. Thus the ones who need it most would receive the di- rect benefit withou.'., h* stigma of pDublic housj The House of Coni'nons will he c-on sidering thUi prob- lem shortly. I'm sure our mem ber of parliament would be interested ln the viewg of bis constituents on the feasability of this or any other solution to the bous- Ing problem. (I'm sending bimi a copy of this letter). His address is: Russell C. Honey, M.P.. House of Corn- mons, Ottawa. Home is a state of mInd, but when children are ln- volved it's nice to have a house to put It ln. house to put them ln. Yours sincerely, Evelyn Purdy, (Mrs. Wayne Purdy). Clarke H.
