The new rates will result in a substantial saving to most Farm and Hamlet consumers, and their form is considerably simplified. The new rate system provides for the •following: • A uniform rate to all Rural customers, now served direct by the Commission. • The elimination of service charges to all farm users. • The reduction of service charges to all Hamlet customers. "0 The do-ordination: bf all'present-Rural POwer Districts into one Provincial Rural Power System with the same meter rates applying throughout to the various classifications. • The existing consumer classifications, totalling 11 in all, have been reduced to 5 clearly defined classes: i.e. 2 wire hamlet, 3• wire hamlet, farm, commercial lighting and summer cottages. 'New Rates Benefiting Approximately 97% of All Rural Consumers Are as Follows: FARM SERVICE NO SERVICE CHARGE. First Block of 20 KwHrs.* per Kilowatt of demand per month at 4c per KwHr.* Next Black of 60 KwHrs.* per Kilowatt of demand per month at 1-6/10c.per KwHr*. All remaining KwHrs.* per month at %c per KwHr.* Minimum charge $0.75 per Kilowatt of demand %per month grass. rplarterly bill Subject to 10% Prqn-qi.t Payment Discount. This Farm Service rate applies to all Farms. In the case ef "Standard'' Farms Of approximately 100 acres the demand is usually, 3 Kilowatts, and for these services the first block of KwIIrs ie 60• while the second, block is 180. 'On larger, farms these blocks will 'increase in' Prothirtion to the Kilowatt demand. *(It wkirs.)-eXilowatt Hours These new rates apply drily 0' rural edristitherS servied'diteet by this COrninission in Rural PowerDiatrittS est ablished i nnder Sections 71 to 79, inclusive, of' the Power Commission Act. They do not apply to. tonaninersin rural voted areas or townships operating under Section 54, of the PoWer Corniiiiigoir Act In the latter areas, Such as the townshipe :of Ancaster, Brantford; East York,' Etobicoke,. London, Nipigon, North York, Scarborough, Toronto and Trafalgar, the present rates will not be affected. • As a result" of these new rate ,reductions, Hydro Rural consumers will save an estithated arn6Olit exceeding $500,606.00 per annum. Experience justifies the expecta- tion on the part of the deatirnigsion. that' this recittetioil in revenue will be recovered in a short time through the increased use of electiiPity in the rural areas. The application of these uniform rural rates Will enable the Commission to later extend service to many areaS not nowserVed and to supply economically, consumers in the more sparsely settled areas. In most rural distriets the new rates will provide a saving for the majority of consumers. The following examples indicate the estimated consumer saving in a district at present Supplied under a rate of 6c per KwHr. for the first block and 2c per, KwHr. for the second block.' c' relatives at Harriston, Mr. and ,Mrs, 0,,Turvoy with Mr. and Mrs, C.
