INCREASED SERVICE CHARGE
The accounts this month from the
Hydro department of the Public
Utilities show an increase in the ser
vice charge for all customers opera
ting a hydro stove or using the 3-
wire service. The service charge to
these customers has been doubled.
This action has been taken by the
Ontario Hydro Commission and ef
fects all users throughout the pro
vince. The reason given for the
increase is to make the charge equit
able to the consumers. The three
wire service demands larger trans
formers and heavier wires on the
main lines than does the two-wire
service and therefore such users
should pay a higher rate. The in
crease in the service charge affects
about 100 families in town and the
increased revenue derived
amount to between three and
hundred dollars a. year.
