We at the P.U.C. hove a great responsibility. As your custodians we must bo at your service 24
hours a day seven days a week. When you flick a switch it's our lob to see that the lights come on.
This, of course, mans that we must keep your equipment in Al condition and thoroughly up to
date to make sure we can meet that demands you may make on us.
That is the problem we face. We find each year that added amounts we pay for labor, for tran-
sportation. for equipment and supplies are a little bigger. So far by the strictest economy and
careful management we have found N possible to operate within our existing re`renue despite in-
creasing costs.
Now Ontario Hydro has raised the cost of the power we buy from them by 4.5 percent. There no
longer Is any alternative. We must go to you. the consumer. to offset this increase In hydro cost.
Rates, In terms of the service electricity provided you. will still be low. However. commencing
January. 1442, billings will show an overage increase of 11.3 percent to reflect the Increase in the
cost of the power we buy. New Retail Rates are effective with all energy used on and after
