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 % 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.

PORT PERRY HYDRO COMMISSION In the past, we have been successful in absorb- ing many of these cost-increases--instead of passing them directly on to you. 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. NEW NET MONTHLY RATES FOR GENERAL SERVICE CUSTOMERS Effective on all bills issued on or after July 1st, 1974 Cost per Kilowatthour (KWH) Consumption First 50 KWH Next 200 KWH Next 9750 KWH All additional KWH Demand Charge 0-50 Kilowatt Over 50 Kilowatt Minimum Bill 0.79¢ No charge $2.30 per KW $3.50 Jy 3 v guests of their cousins Mrs. Drew and Miss Rogers of Whitby.
