The bill, which provided a rebate for 176 municipalities, shows Gode- richin195ow2.ing about $2,000 for power Mayor J. E. Huckins has called for an explanation, including how street -lighting costs are determin- ed. The street lighting bill shows approximately 50 per cent increase this time, the mayor said, adding that Goderich will take the matter direct to Robert Saunders, hydro chairman. Believed Highest The mayor said he believes Goderich now pays the highest rate of any municipality in West- ern Ontario. Of the amendment to the As- sessment Act which allows munici- palities to assess PUC properties, the mayor said: "It surely is not coincidence that the increase in our street lighting coincides with the amount of taxes collectable by the corporation from the PUC. Between hydro costs, and the Gov erriment's new idea of grants for 1954, which places a value of $1.60 per head on our citizens here as against $4 in Toronto, we intend to serve notice that we place the emphasis on discrimination."
