RURAL HYDRO RATES INCREASED $1.14 PER MONTH An upward revision of rural hydro rates averaging about $2.14 per month increase for the ma -a jority of consumers has been an- nounced by Robert H. Saunders, chairman of the Ontario Hydro Commission. The increase is expected to bring almost $2,000,- 000 2,000;000 additional revenue. Mr. Saunders said the increase, effective on May 1 and subse- quent bills, is necessary for the proper safeguarding of the rural finance structure. He said that tremendous increases in cost of labor and materials, along with the necessity of maintaining ef- ficient service, caused the de- cision to increase rates. The Ontario Hydro Commission last December increased the wholesale rates for power sup- plies to municipalities and a large percentage of municipalities subsequently were granted per- mission to increase rates to con- sumers. The commission now has increased the rates to rural cust- omers. 257,000 Customers There are 257,000 rural custom- ers, including 100,000 farmers. The over-all increase is about 25 per cent, Mr. Saunders esti- mated. He said one sample of the in- crease is where a rural hydro con- sumer used 100 kilowatt hours per month. He now pays $3.13 instead of $2.47, an increase of 66 cents. Praises Work Among Dutch Immigrants The Presbyterian Synod of Hamilton and London; meeting in Hamilton, on motion of Rev. D. J.
