Municipalities discuss utility restructuring
With cost cutting, service sharing
and amalgamation the talk around
the table at every level of govern-
ment and agency, the utility com-
missions in many municipalities are
also faced with changes as suggest-
ed in the provincial government's
MacDonald Report.
Following a meeting early in
September in Exeter, local commis-
sions and utility managers are gath-
ering to further discussions on
reform and ensure their role in the
process as distributors to 75 per
cent of the province's electricity
customers.
Commissions are discussing the

Fall is here again and with it
comes the 49th annual turkey
supper. For all newcomers to the
Belgrave Community and also to
remind those who have helped for
years, here is a brief history of this
worthwhile annual event.
Started in 1949 each year over
1,000 people sit down together at
one time for a traditional hot turkey
they agreed that "lower, more com-
petitive rates might be realized
through increased efficiency and
competition," said the 'Framework
for Competition' report presented at
the Exeter meeting.
Other points stressed in Frame-
work were: the need to maintain
locally-driven solutions to utility
costs, increased competition in the
generation, transmission and distri-
bution of electricity thereby elimi-
nating Ontario Hydro's monopoly,
Ontario Hydro's suggested merger
with municipal electric utilities
should be rejected as an unsatisfac-
tory method of solving Hydro's
stewards. Hymn Brethren We Have
Met for Worship followed. The
closing hymn was 0 Christ, In
Thee My Soul Hath Found.
Lunch and fellowship hour
followed in the church basement.

supper with the whole community
contributing time and food.
Last year was another great year
realizing a profit of just over
$5,900. The proceeds go towards
the operating costs of the Belgrave
Arena and Park; and sponsor minor
sports programs throughout the
year. Without this supper these
areas might cease.
Tickets are available at local
stores. Please help when the
committees call on you.
The Annual Turkey Supper is

Belgrave Arena.
financial problems, privatization is
agreeable only where seen to be
beneficial and the Ontario Energy
Board should be given new,
stronger powers as a regulatory
entity.
In disagreement with the Mac-
Donald Report, the co-op wants to
maintain the power pool to ensure
equitable access to reasonable rates
for large and small customers and
that lower prices are preferred over
choice of supplier.
A meeting for utility managers
and commissioners is planned for
Thursday, Oct. 3 in Wingham with
an open forum session at the
Goderich Twp. Hall, Holmesville,
hosted by Goderich PUC, Oct. 9.
