As your custodians we must be at you service 24 hours a day seven days a week. When you flick a switch it's our job to see that the lights come on. This, of course, means that we must keep your equipment in Al condition and thoroughly up to date to make sure we can meet the demands you may make on us. That's why we face the ever present problem, of updating equipment and building new lines. That Is the problem we face. We find each year that added amounts we pay for labor, for transpor- tation, for equipment and supplies are a little bigger. So far by the strictest economy and careful management we have found it possible to operate within our existing. revenue despite increasing costs. Now Ontario Hydro has raised the cost of the power we buy from them by 8 per cent. There no longer is any alternative. We must go to you, the consumer, to offset this Increase in hydro cost. The P.U.C. has absorbed the cost of power increase latter part of 1972 and 1973 to date. Rates,, in terms of the service electricitkrifPlildes you, will still be:low: However, commencing August l,..next billings will show'an average Increase of 10.8'per cent to reflect the Increase in the cost ,ot. thik, power we buy.
