Every time you go shopping the cost of things gets higher. Prices rise and the buying power of a dollar bill continues to shrink. The same thing is happening to us. Today we're both in the same boat--faced with a situation of rising costs outside our immediate control. And we don't like it any more than you do. For example, the wholesale power we pur- chase from Ontario Hydro now costs about 8 9 more than last year. This increase at the wholesale level has been forced by several factors . . . rising labour charges, higher con- struction costs and increases in the cost of practically all materials, supplies and services Ontario Hydro has to buy.

However, we're now at a point where present rates will not return sufficient revenue to cover costs. As you know, we are a publicly owned utility. Our whole structure is based on supplying you with dependable service at the lowest possible cost . . . not to earn profits. But, the amount we collect must be enough to assure both dependable .service and the financial integrity of the utility. Thus, in spite of all the belt tightening we've been doing and will continue to do, we must now ask for a rate increase. An increase that will be sufficient to handle those rising costs outside our control. The rates below will become effective on all bills issued on or after July 1st, 1974.
