Of energy ued, The average.
Will be 811 Percent.
A detailed explanation of the
changes is being mailed to all
customers.
As summer cottage customers
are billed only twice a year the
new rates will not opine into
effect fel' these Pcinauinerts until
after the bill for meter readings
taken at the end of the 1968
season, A fixed amount ischarg,
ed in the spring, and the fall bill
is based on a meter reading taken
late each summer.
From time to time during the
15-year period since 1953, rela-
tively minor rate adjustments
have been made to meet changing
conditions on the system. The last
'one was in 1966 when 173,000
customers received decreases
and 165,000 small increases,
Chairman George Gathercole
said the increases reflect the
"inflationary pressures of high-
er costs on the Commission for
equipment, supplies, property,
salaries, wages and borrowing".
Mr. Gathercole said that a
va r i et y of cost-saving pro-
cedures, including automated
techniques, consolidation of work
areas and promotional load build-
ing, adopted by the Commission
had enabled Hydro to hold the
line on rates.
"However", he said, "our rur-
al system operated at a deficit
last year, and an upward adjust-.
ment of rates is now essential".
He estimated the increases
would "barely meet rising costs
—but should carry us through
the next two years without furth-
er adjustment."
Earlier this year Ontario
Hydro increased its rates to
municipal electrical util it i e s
across the province for power
supplied. •

One of Grand Bend's oldest
and most respected citizens
passed away Monday at West-
minster Hospital, London. Har-
mon M. Gill was 84 at the time of

late Edward Gill and Elizabeth

country and community.

nadian Airforce, Mr. Gill was an
avid promoter for incorporation
of the village of Grand Bend
where he made his home.

was named the village's first
reeve and served in that capacity
until the fall of 1953. He was a
former village trustee, a charter
member of the Grand Bend Lions
Club and a member of Grand
Bend's first Public Utilities
Commission.

Masonic Blue Lodge and Chap-

Lakeview House on the Main
Street of Grand Bend. He also
worked as a building contractor,
a justice of the peace and a real
estate agent.

also of Grand Bend, were cited
for bravery awards after the two
men rescued a trio of Londoners
from the choppy waters of Lake
Huron. About 5,000 people watch-
ed as Gill and Manore aboard a
fishing tug edged their way
through the great waves to the
men who had clung to some net
stakes for more than one hour.

six daughters, Mrs. Ella Pater-
son, Windsor; Mrs. Harold (Edna)
Noonan, Stratford; Irene at home;
Mrs. Phyllis Glenn, Grand Bend;
Mrs. Helen West, Grand Bend;
