HYDRO COMMISSION DEMONSTRATES ELECTRIC POWER USES ON FARMS
nTHE accompanying picture show the demon-
stration truck now touring Ontario to en
able rural hydro users to see for themselves the
great variety of uses there are for hydro power
on the farm.
Mr. N. J. Lake of the Hydyro Commission,
who was out with the truck on some of its first
stops, states it was given an excellent reception,
a single day’s attendance at London on a Sat
urday totaled 1100.
Visitors to the truck showed particular ’in
terest in the plumbing system and in the grain
grinders and milk coolers on display. He cred
ited the new milk pasteurization law in Ontario
for stimulating some of the interest in milk
coolers, as milk has to be cooled quickly after
it is pasteurized if the quality is to be main
tained.
Other equipment in which farm visitors dis
played great interest was in electric ranges for
cooking purposes and in water heaters for
small farm dairies. These water heaters are
installed free of charge by the Hydro Commis
sion and cost for current about $1.50 to $2.00
per month, and the convenience of an ample
supply of hot water to wash and scald milk
pails, cream separators, metal milking machine
parts, etc. is greatly appreciated.
Among interested visitors to the truck are
some' of the earlier users of hydro, who are
proud to feel they were among the first to ap
preciate its benefits and installed it at a time
when installation costs and monthly current
charges were decidly higher than they are to
day. Frequently these men remark that their
neighbors said they would go broke through
putting in Hydro, but those visiting the truck
are still among the enthusiastic users of hydro
and apparently found the saving in labor costs
pretty well balanced the cost of putting it in

HYDRO IS ENVY OF MANY FOR
SERVICES PROVIDED
, (By Dr. T. H. Hogg)
(Chairman and Chief Engineer, the
Hydro-Electric Power Commission
of Ontario)
• “Power at Cost” has been a slo
gan in the Province of Ontario for
so many years that many may have
forgotten not only what it means,
but what the principle has accom
plished in building up such a large
system for the distribution of low-
cost energy for Ontario citizens.
The Hydro-Electric Power Com
mission has now been supplying
electrical energy for. more than 28
years, and at the end of. 1938 was
serving 8'21 municipalities through
the medium of 22,000 circuit miles
of transmission line of all voltages,
about three quarters of which are
for rural distribution.
Power is generated by the Com
mission at some forty-seven hydro
electric developments and trans
formed nt various points throughout
the province in sixty-three trans
former and 3 07. distribution stations,
In addition to its own generated
sources power is purchased from
companies having developments in
the Province of Quebec.
,, Set Volume Record
Last December the total load
all co-operative systems and
Northern Ontario properties reached
nearly 2,0'0.0,000 horsepower, 1,954,-
083 horsepower to be exact the high
est ever carried by the systems of
the Commission and 9 per cent,
above the December peak of 1937,
To provide these large, wide
spread electric systems there has
been invested all told in the Hydro
enterprise more than twice the ag
gregate capital invested, in the thir-
ty-iour plants devoted 'to the large
pulp and paper industry in Ontario.
Of the $42.8,000,000 invested in
the undertaking, $275,000,000 is in
vested by The Hydro-Electric Power
Commission of Ontario in generat
ing stations; transformer stations,
transmission lines and equipment.
About $126,000,1000 is invested by
the municipalities in distribution
systems and other assets, and $37,-
000,000 is invested in the Northern
Ontario properties operated by the
commission on behalf of the pro
vince.
Reserves $200,000,000
The combined annual revenue re
sulting from the above investment
is about $48,00'0,000. Total reserves
of the .commission and
electric utilities for
contingencies, stabilization
sinking fund and insurance
i exceed $200,000,000. I To understand the basic
| governing the financial operations
; of the undertaking, that is that elec
trical services be given at cost, it
must be remembered that “cost” in
cludes not only all operating and
maintenance charges, interest on
capital investment, and reserves for
renewals or depreciation, for obso
lescence and contingencies, and for
stablization of rates, but also ‘a re
serve for sinking fund or capital
payments of debentures. This means
that besides providing an adequate ' low-cost service, ample provision is
being made to ensure that this ser
vice will be continued in the future.
Even during the period of depres
sion, the customary payments to
sinking fund and depreciation were
maintained both by the commission
and by the associated Hydro utilities
so that Hydro stands today in an en
viable position.
Provide for Further Growth
Today the commission has ample
supplies of power for normal growth
in load, and on behalf of the co-op
erating municipalities of the prov
ince invites inquiries from manufac
turers and others desiring to estab
lish new or branch industries in any
part of the province. No matter in
what city or town he desires to es
tablish his factory, the newcomer to
Ontario will find available adequate
