This rate revision is the result of an increase in the wholesale cost of electricity of 29.6% by Ontario Hydro, Ontario Hydro is being faced with the construction of more expensive generating plants as most poten- tial water power sites have been utilized. In addi- tion fuel costs have increased and as an example the price of coal increased from -13.00 a ton in 1973 to $40.00 a ton in 1975. The inflationary costs of material and the high interest cost of debentures are contributing factors in the proposed increases. In order for the Commission to maintain its high standard of service and still meet the rising costs, retail rates must be increased by 21.2% Subject to Approval by Ontario Hydro NEW MONTHLY NET RATES TO RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS Effective on all consumption used on or after January 1, 1977 Cost per Kilowatt hour ( KWH) consumption KWH First .$0 KWH 6,60a Next 200 KWH 3.30a All additional KWH 2.30a Minimum monthly bill $3.50 Exeter Public Utilities Commission 379 Main Street S., Exeter, Ontario 235-1350 Different ag course Centralia College of Agricultural Technology has come pp with an unusual ap- proach to its agricultural structures course. J.A. Underwood, head of the college's agricultural engineering department, puts students to work constructing a farm building. Last fall, about 45 students worked on a 26-foot by 16-foot storage shed. This year, 50 second-year students are working on a 16-foot addition. "We've not trying to make carpenters out of these students," said Mr. Underwood, "We're just trying to give them some practical experience so they will know the basics." The experience will be helpful to students when they begin farming and have to deal with building contractors. According to Mr. Underwood, the program is popular with second-year students at the college, Most of the ap- proximately 50 students enrolled in the agricultural business management program have selected the structures course as an elective. In addition to providing practical experience for the students, the project is useful to the college, since the new building is being used for machine storage. Another ad- vantage of the program is that students are constructing pole- frame buildings which can be dismantled when necessary, and the materials can be used again.
