Some ideas were: When cooking a roast, turn the heat off half an hour before it's finished — the oven heat will finish cooking it; don't set your water heater higher than 140 degrees Faren- heit — it's unnecessary; fluorescent lighting is five times as efficient as incandescent light- ing.

Hydro Chairman Robert Tar for said that the increase neces- sary to cover Hydro's costs next year would have been 9.8 per cent had it not been for extra revenue created by better than expected operating results in 1977. Almost half of the improve- ment in the 1977 financial position resulted from a substantial in- crease in export power sales to the" United States and reduced cost of administration., operation and maintenance. "This extra revenue — now estimated at $108 million — will be allocated among the 352 municipal utilities, Ontario Hydro's direct industrial custo- mers, and the rural retail sys- tem. Under the anti-inflation guidelines established for Hydro by the provincial government, this amount must be returned to the customers," Mr. Taylor said. The rural retail system's share is currently estimated at approxi- mately $17.8 million. The effect of the increase on in- dividual customers will vary de- pending on their consumption and classification. For example, a typical residential customer's monthly bill of $35 will increase by approximately $1.75. Details of the rate increase will be mailed to all rural customers. All bills issued after Jan. 1 will be pro -rated. 1977 rates will apply from the last meter reading this year to Dec. 31.
