Mr. and Mrs. Sterling Lamb return- ed home to the West after spending a month with his parents. A baby car had run out of gasoline and the nearest garage was several miles agay. The harassed motorist stopped an imposing looking car and asked the chauffeur if he could spare him a little gas. The chauffeur des- cended from his car and eyed the “baby” for a moment. “H’”,m he said at length, with a con- temptuous sniff. “it’s not gas you want, it’s a new flint." Mr. Fred Johnston spent Sunday at m. J. S. Davey’s. How About a Tow Aberdeen Before enjoying these privileges of course the user has to have his place wired up at considerable expense and also purchase a certain amount of equipment. By enquiry the Journal- Argus learned that the cost of wiring runs from about $185 to $550, accord- ing to the amount or work required. Wiring, equipment and everything runs all the away from $500 up to $2.000. Boon for Farmer’s Wife Not only'the farmer but the farmer’s wife has profited by the comfort and convenience of hydro. Electric refriger- ators, electric vacuum cleaners, elec- tric washing machines and all of the smaller items of household equipment have already appeared on some of the concessions of Blanshard, Downie and East and West Nissouri. Now that the rate has been substantially reduced the list of installations as well as the ex- tending of equipment is going on apace. Once a farmer or his wife has be- come used to the convenience of elec- tricity, they are bound to have it re- gardless of rate. For instance in the pioneer days of hydro on the Ontario farm, the first rural . line was built near Preston. The service charge then was the substantial figure of $7 a month with a rate for current of 10c. and 6c. After running the line for some time at a heavy loss it was found necessary to raise the rate. But every user stayed on the line. Then other users came in and shared the load and in time the rate was substantially reduced. PERTH FARIERS _ FIND HYDRO LIGHT '[0 BE GREAT HELP Rural Hydro has been making great headway in the St. Marys district the past‘three years and perhaps the farm- ers themselves do not fully realize the extent to which the local rural com- munity is now covered by Hydro. The main lines have long since been laid and the work that is now going on is the filling in of three, four and five mile strips. Previous to this year there was about 60 miles of rural hydro lines feeding out of St. Marys hydro sub sta- tion. By the end of next year it is ex- pected that .there' will be very few con- cessions not' served by hydro.- It will surprise many people to learn that to- day there are about five hundred tarm- ers within a ten mile radius of St. Marys who are enjoying the privileges of electric lighting and power on their Taking these figures as a basis, the Government undertook to help out by making the service charge $2.50 at once and paying the deficiency of $1.60 out of the provincial treasury until such time as the increased volume of farm con- sumers brings the actual cost of the service down to $2.50. How Much it Costs The rural rate in this district is $2.50 a month net for service charge, 5c. for the first thirty hours and after that two and one-half cents. This means that the average farmer is paying $30 a year for servoce charge and another $30 for juice. Roughly speaking the five cent rate covers lighting in the house and barn and all the numerous other uses that electricity can be put to around the farm will come under the two and one-half rate. In this way the farm- er who is using only a little juice is paying nearly as much as his neighbor who is using it freely. For instance we heard of a farmer in this district whose quarterly bill was $18.20. Then he ad- ded a washing machine and electric utensil for the household, linked up his pumps, fanning mill, chopper, grind- stone and other farm equipment there- bv increasing‘his use of power by 500 to 700 per cent. But his bill was in- creased only a little more than half to The farmer on 100 acres has the choice of three contracts in dealing with hydro, ie., 3, 5 or 10 h.p. Ninety per cent are taking the three h.p. service for they know that it they should come to require the larger ser- vice they can get it any time on short notice. A factor that has greatly stimulated the installation of hydro on the farms was the action of the Provincial Gov- ernment last year in deciding to as- sume a” portion of the service charge. The initial service charge had been $4.10 a month net. Hydro cost experts figured that when every farmer became a user and helped to reduce the over- head expense the service charge could then be reduced to $2.50 a month. . At the present time rural hydro from Listowel to Woodstock and the centres in between is handled from Mitchell. We are informed on good authority that owing to the wide extension of rural hydro in this district an ofl’ice will likely be opened at St. Marys next year. Renewed efforts to secure inter-pio- vincial uniformity of laws are expected to follow the change in government at Ottawa. , - - - .
