The Eugenia sys- tem now represented a capital inâ€" vestment of over two millions. The propositions put before the mtuniciâ€" palities were estimates made in 1914-15-16, when material and labor costs were comparatively low. The increased charges for service were made aeoordinglyand’hsers are get- ting the current at cost. He assurâ€" ed tlie‘audience that the head office expenses charged to the Eugenia system were a little under $2,000.00 a year, but discovered before the ‘meeting closed he had omitted a : charge of eight or nine hundred‘dolâ€" iars. . ' - Mr. Jaffray was the chief spokes». man to represent». the Ontario Hydro and he gave in most cases fair anâ€" swers to the questions submitted". In answer to question of salaries of operators he pointed out that the .average rate per month was $91.00, and the average number of men. em- iplayed to operate the power-house qvas 7.3, while the average on ihe system in 1921 was 1-2.4.
