As the power situation gradually became worse, the voluntary honor campaign request to cut down the use of electricity has fallen far short of the reduction requested by the Hydro Electric Power Com. mission of Ontario, and Weston along with all the other hydro municipalities has been requested that they [must reduce the use of electricity to a figure 10% Tess than the power used duriaF the month of October, 1907. As eston is away above this figure, there was no other alternative but to conserve flower by introducing a one-hour s ut down period, Monday through Friday, inclusive, which commenced Monday, Feb. 23, 1948, in an attempt to reach the reduced figure. It is the hope of the local hydro that this figure may ttey reached, and with the continued eo-operation on the part of our} consumers it may be possible, but' if not, more drastic measures may have to be enforced. In the stores, all window diaplny lighting to be entirely turned off, and reduce. the vestibule or store entrance lighting to' one light equivalent to 5 watts per foot of the width of the store entrance. A store entrance having a width of 8 feet would be entitled to use I 40 watt lamp, and only to be turned on during the time the store is open for buBinetrir-otf at all other times, dly or night. The Weston commission is very Mu! to thtrmtnrtry6tratrsrrl sonnets who have eornilied to this request and for their contribution to the saving of electricity. This saving wss noticed on the metering system It the power stations. There are still a. few commercial con- sumers not complying with the regulations so far as vestibule or store entrance lighting is con- cerned, and these will be inter. viewed by the local hydro er- Bonnet.
