NEXT MONDAY Tiffin; Presidents, Grant Ernest, • Stainten, Donna Hairy; Seereta-ies, -Brian Metcalfe, Lois Lockridge. F.srm All the Manufacturers of the Town met with Wingham Utilities Commis- sion on Tuesday afternoon at 1.30 and discussed the power shortage. Manager Don Jeffs laid the situation before the meeting and correspondence was read indicating that the quota for Wingham was set at 10550 K.W.H. per day and later reduced to 9725 K. W.H. per day. At present local con- sumption exceeded the quota ;by about 3625 K.W.H. per day and it is urgent that this reduction be made at once. Due to the excellent co-operation shown by the local industrialists a considerable saving will be effected by having a number of the larger con- sumers operate their plants on Satur- days and taking the Monday holiday. Other plants will co-operate in saving power by shifting their hours to avoid the peak load around the noon hour, A large saving must now be made by the DOMESTIC CONSUMERS to enable the local Commission to keep within their quota. As a last resort the Commission will be compelled to cut the power from various sections of she Town. This will not be done without giving proper notice. It is hoped that the DOMESTIC CONSUMERS will co-operate in saving Hydro and follow the fine example set by the local Man- ufacturers. Last Saturday night it was noticed that about 90% of the merchants had their store window lights on after 9 p.m. which is contrary to regulations. Store window lighting is only permis- sible from 4.30 to 9 p.m. during busi- ness hours. Domestic consumers may only have a 25 watt lamp en porches.
