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.

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.
