Why. a Mi nimum Bill for
Electric Service?
In our previous message, we indicated the two parts of the cost
of supplying electric power to the Rural User. Let us consider
the part covering distribution cost, and its relation to the
MINIMUM BILL.
Electricity cannot be bought at a store and taken home for use. It has
to be delivered to your home or farm over distribution lines built of
poles, wires, insulators, transformers, meters, etc. These lines must be
ready to deliver electricity day in and day out, when you turn the switch.
These pole lines
'
Nyith related equipment, cost money to construct, and
on this cost must be paid each year, interest and repayment of capital.
In addition, these lines must be properly maintained, replaced when
necessary, and kept in good operating condition, including costs of billing
and collecting and superintendence. All of these distribution costs
must be met each year, in addition to the actual cost of electricity at
the substation.
Let us see what this distribution cost amounts to:
Cost to construct 20,000 miles of distribution lines
to serve 135,000 rural users $39,000,000.00
Yearly cost (1942) of operation, maintenance,
interest, renewals, etc $ 2,991,400.00
Average cost per customer $22.20 per year 1.85 per month
In hamlets where customers can be grouped and lines are shorter,
this average cost per user is slightly less. In the case of farms where the
users are spread along the line, the cost is somewhat greater.
Whether or not you use power in any month, the cost of this equip-
mint to serve you still carries on. If you use less electricity than
covered by the minimum cost (on standard farms, 56 kilowatt hours a
month), then you have a MINIMUM BILL to meet this distribution
cost. If your use of electricity is greater, your bill at the Uniform Rate
covers both distribution cost, plus the cost of electricity at the station.
The Minimum Bill for a 2-wire Hamlet user is $1.50 net per month; for
a standard Farm, it is $2.02 net per month.
These explanations are given to help you understand the new rate.
In our next message, we will discuss, for your benefit, "Installing Services
under War Conditions", In the meantime, if you need further infor-
mation, please ask your Rural District Superintendent.

these explanations.

Spoke on the "Sealed Tomb"
"The Sealed Tomb" was the subject
of Rev. •C, Tavener's sermon at, the
United. Church from Mark 16. 3-5---
and they said among themselves, who
shall roll away, the stone from the
door of the Sepulchre, and when they
looked they saw that the stone was
rolled away for it was very great.
The story of His Resurrection is an
intriguing story, Its charm and per-

IN SPITE OF ALL WAR HAZARDS
,1,500.000 Lerrews
DO you remember the "Change of Address" form which
you filled out when you moved your civilian home? After
that was filed at your local Post Office, every letter sent to your
old address had to be redirected to the new one, and that went
on until your correspondents were familiar with your new
location.
Probably you didn't move very often, but each 'time you
• did, the Post Office gave redirectory service. And if you will
think about that for a moment, you will begin to see what a
stupendous task confronts the Canadian Postal Corps in ham-
, dling the military mails, when thousands of men are being
moved almost daily! -..
Yet, in.spite of the need of tracing men from reinforcement
units to their locations on fighting fronts . . in spite of the
need Of tracing them through hospitalization . . or while
on leave . . . when their unit is moved . . . in spite of delays
in air mail service caused by, adverse flying conditions . . . of
delays in surface transportation caused by enemy action . . .
in spite of every war hazard you can think of . . . your Post
Office and the Canadian Postal -Corps delivered 31,500,000
letters to men overseas in 1943!
It is inevitable that, in tracing men who have been moved,
or wounded, some delays occur. It is inevitable that enemy
action holds up delivery in some cases. But everything that
human ingenuity and effort can do to gibe you a service that
means speedier delivery of the letters your men are waiting
for, is being well and thoroughly done, and will& done. New
methods of speeding mail deliveries are being put into effect,
new possibilities are being studied. Think of your own friends
who have been posted to new locations overseas, and realize
the task of tracing them when their mail arrives at their former
address!'
YOu can help your Post Office and the Canadian Postal
Corps to give even better service if you will take a moment to
make sure that your mail is correctly prepared. Do these simple
things . . .
a
1. Always be sure each letter or parte! (properly packed) is fully and, correctly addressed.
2. Use light-weight paper, for regular Air Mail, or' use the Armed norces Air Letter Forms. Airgraph letters take a little longer
because they must be processed id Canada and overseas,
„t. To men in hospital, mark your letter "In Hospital", if you are advised to this effect.
Never put into parcels perishable food, or any substance that can be damaged by extremes of temperature.
