Neil not only touched the lives of those in the community, but also those of his family and relatives. I recall my mother, Hazel Matheson, saying years ago,"Neil is such a good boy", for the love and care he gave his Mom. Neil has"been there" for his own family when they needed assurances, and for his siblings in their times of need, and for me, only a phone call away. He finds time to visit his Aunt Jennie Turnbull and sometimes, very seldom, takes some time for himself. He is not only kin, but a friend. It is truly a deserved tribute. Jean Matheson Ross 2.

Market Contribution was approved by the Ontario Energy Board to help us recover a portion of the costs of extending the gas lines to4your community. This is necessary so that our existing customers do not subsidize those costs through their rates. It is a temporary charge that is only in effect for the 60 months after the completion of the project. Each month the out- standing balance is reduced. When the gas line was first installed to many local communities, the Market Contribution amount was $798.10. Since then, the amount has been reduced, and as of June, 1998 the amount for the following communities is: If you are still heating with oil, electricity or propane you're simply paying too high a price. Call us today to find out more about Market Contribution or to find out how much you can save with natural gas. 1 800 895-7193
