He concluded he was not

how.

Filsinger praises
Acclamations were given
Monday night, to all four
members of the Goderich Public
Utilities Commission for another
two year term.
They are: George Filsinger,
Wm. J. Mills, Bruce Ryan and G.
F. Whaley.
Speaking on behalf of his
fellow ' members, Mr. ' George
Filsinger, Chairman of the
P:U.C., gave the following
comprehensive report:
As one of your daily elected
representatives td the P.U.C., I.
am pleased to present a report of
your Utilities operations .during
the past two years. Of necessity
tonight, I will only dwell on
facts which you will be most
interested in.
A successful, Utility of today
has to be prepared to meet the,
challenges and problems which
are continually being presented
in this era of changing values and
changing methods. Two
outstanding challenges are
steadily increasing demand for
power and service, and that well
known • headache of yearly
increasing financial , problems.
_ May I say in all conservatism,
your Utility is on The Honors
Class in these respects. '
As - to increasing demands for
power, in 1948 Goderich
consumed 6 million K.W. hours,
and in 1968 consumation was 44
million. This was indeed a
momentous increase.
As to financial problem,, we
have contended ' with the
following increases in cost of
power to us from Hydro: (1.5%
on Jan. 1/67); (6% on Jan.
1/68);, (6% on Jan. 1/69); ( and.
5.7% on -Jan. 1/70). Then, too a
further' increase to us will occur
on Jan.1 /71 of 6.5%. This last
increase alone of 6,5% represents
an increased cost per year of,"
about $30,000.00.
Despite all these increases, we
have as of this date, only
increased the cost of power to
our consumer on one occasion
since 1954. This one occasion
was on April 1/68 of 413.5%.
Lest you have forgotten and
with your interests always in
mind, we actually put into 'effect
a decrease in the rest of power
to you on Jan. 1/67, that of
3.8%.
The results of, shall I call it
(holding the line on prices)'
during this period of time, is to
give citizens and Manufacturers
companies lowest Hydro rates in
Western Ontario. If there are
doubts of this statement, your
Utility can back it up with rates
of other Utilities. These lower
rates should surely offer an
inducement to industry to locate
here. I would mention in this
respect, many other ,utilities are
now in the process of planning
further rate increases during the
early part of next year.
Despite all the increases 1 have
mentioned with their insuring
high costs, your Utility has every
hope of avoiding an increase yin
Hydro rates to our consumers in
1971. If hovvever, the passing of
time proves we cannot copewith
these increases, then any
increase will only occur in the
1,1attaer part of next year. .
, We are ' contantly putting
projects into being to cope with
this rapidly increasing demand
for power. A 5000 K.V.A.
sub -station was completed in
Industrial park in November of
1969. This was necessary to take
care of the last growth in the
