transmission lines as it is assessed
to many of the . smaller munici-
palities in this part of the province.
The paymepts .are supposedly fixed
in; this section' of • the province by
the, distance of transmission from
the 'distribution centre at :Hanover,
arid' the .mayor contended that. the
cost of these lines must have been
met 20 years ago — yet the towns
in this' area are still paying.
Another speaker ,on the same
,subject was A, H. Tomlinson Of
PorGOlgin. As a result of the pro-
teat a 'committee is to be set up
to 'seek• some progress in the
equalization of hydro rates •on a
more equitable basis. Both 'Mr,
MeKinney and Mr. Tomlinson will
serve on the committee and ex-
press confidence that some re-
duction'.in rate can be .obtained.
The following is a comparison, of
tile rates 'charged to various com-
munities in Ontario; Hanover, 24c
per kilowatt; Owen Sound, 42-63c;
Walkerton, $1.95; Listowel, 0415;
Orangeville, $6.71; Huntsville, $6,89;
Wingham, $7.07; Port Elgin, $7.73;
Kincardine, $9.08.
1955 Wingham paid $11.469.79
at a' rate of $8.45. In 1958 the
charge to Wingham was $10,586.73,
while in the same year low-tension
trananlission cost the town of Han-
over only $359,45; a diiiereme of
$10,227.28.
At.' the• Toronto meeting Keith
ColemAn, director of accounting
for Ontario Ifydro recognized this
unbalanced situation when be said
in his address;
Although a fair number of muni-
cipalities take power from low-
tension, lines, the total load is
small and the effect upon individu-
al costs is out of proportion to the
effebt upon total cost, 'It effects,
to the greater degree, comparative-
ly small municipalities on .the end
of a long distribution line whore
Oats Of $9.06* or $10.00 (dr even
$1.4.0()) a kilowatt for leW-tension
distribution are not uridommon.
Any hierease in the east of the
function leas a severe effect on the,
customers who share it,. 'A new
.high.‘tenSion station introduced in-
to the systeni, may upset the equil-
ibrlutt of cogs among: these ails-,
totters who take 'at low voltage
and may, be severe upon the ens-,
touters „not fortunate enough to
