The survey results show that av- erage farm assets in Canada in- creased marginally by 2.1 percent to 5536.600, between December 31, 1989 and December 31, 1991. The survey - conducted in co- operation with Agriculture Canada and Statistics Canada - shows the average net worth of Canadian farms increased 1.7 percent to 5441,600 in the same two-year pe- riod. The study was undertaken to pro- vide data to evaluate and measure changes in the financial situation of Canadian farmers. There are significant differences in the results among regions. Bnt- ish Columbia had the largest in- crease in average assets, at 12.8 percent, followed by Quebec at 11 percent. Alberta reported a de- crease of 3.4 percent. B.C., Quebec and the Atlantic provinces also had the highest gains in average net worth, at 17.4. 8.4 and six percent, respectively.

The Commission has reduced its capital budget for 1993 in order to enable them to absorb some of this increase in rates, but has no alternative but to pass some of the increase in the cost of elec- tricity to its customers. The Commission will increase retail rates by 6.0% and this will re- sult in a monthly increase of $4.90 for a residential customer with a 1000 kilowatt hour consumption. klexiaanilgy.Balimiglataishmilaramomem Effective on all consumption used on or after January 1, 1993 (Subject to Ontario Hydro approval) Kilowatt hour KWH Cost per Consumption KWH First 250 KWH All additional KWH Minimum monthly bill 13.304 7.380 $8.30 Exeter Public Utilities Commission 379 Main St. S., ExWr, Ontario iNOM 186 &6'tO»Y &Cfatf?/( Dai Wed., Dec. 9/92 Drop in for coffee and cookies r Make a donation of gifts or food to the Huron County Christmas Bureau • National Trust 'Ou rr,'VOW lid ltr, 425 Mal n Street, Exeter 235-0530 KEN FILSON Accounting and Tax Consulting in association with MIKITISH, HESKETH, BATTE, ANDREWS & ASSOCIATES INC.
