THE TRUTH REGARDS. STOPPING SERVICE TO FAMILY THEATRE Shortly after the Fancily Theatre Opened under the present tnanagement those who operate same complained of the voltage being too low and to use his own words said "We would have a It— of a thne collecting some of the bills." To see .g they had any reason of complaint we got a voltmeter Erol) the Hydro Commission of Toronto, also had an expert here to take the voltage. Both reported voltage high, rather ,than low. The meter was read Den. 9th. When hill was presented to them they refused to take same, saying MSter was not read properly, the only corn •plaint out of 200 meters read, To satisfy them meter was read again by another party. Then it was 60 k.'w. more than the former reading, The Hydro rule is, ail bills over ,the mini - mond charge get a discount of to% if paid on orbefore the 20th of .the month an which .the bill was present- ed and if not paid *thin two weeks after Dial is presented they are liable to !have service, cut. This is where the local Commission made a mistake asthcse people should have been made pay then or have service discontinuued, Meter was read again Jan. 11th and there was no mistake about tke read- ing as the one who read It, to make sure, read it a second time. When the bill wras made up in order to make H easier for these people the two bills were put into One thereby saving them the 10% on no first bill.
