Your Commission desires to bring to the attention of
Ontario farmers who have applied for Hydro service, a condi-
tion which is now seriously slowing up the building of rural
extensions.
Essential materials and equipment are in extremely short
supply, and the prospects of obtaining additional quantities in
the immediate future are very meagre. Strikes in various basic
industries and the extraordinary national demand are holding
back the supply of all equipment needed.
While the Commission will exert every effort to obtain
material and equipment for rural line construction, it can
complete this year only a small part of the full program which
it had planned. Consequently, many applications already
approved will not, of necessity, be completed this year.
Your Commission will endeavour to serve all applicants
in order of receipt of applications, giving preference to all
farm and similarly essential applications over those for other
types of service.
These facts are presented for your information, and with
the expectation that they will enable you to, bear more patiently
with a situation beyond the control of your Commission.

Questions and Answers

Q:--hn a small village where there
are no price regulations for one's
personal service such as barbering
and hairdressing and the prices
have been low, is it permissible to
raise the price to a moderate fee to
meet the higher cost of living.
A;—You misunderstand price regu-
lations if you believe they do not
apply to small villages. They amply
in all sections of Canada and barber-
ing and hairdressing are under a
price ceiling. You may not raise
these prices unless you obtain
special permission of the Wartilne
Prices and Trade Board.
