Rural Service Extensions
111 Wait e
War demands come first. Many of the materials need.
ed in providing Hydro rural service, that are plentiful in
peacetime, are now required; in the manufacture of war
weapons. Likewise, many trained Hydro men have
taken up war duties in the Army, Navy and Air Force.
This results in a shortage of manpower, materials and
equipment.
Although working under great diffic tittles, created by these wartime
conditions, Hyiro will continue to provide essential rural service as rapidly
as possible. However, it can be readily realized that with smaller construc-
tion crews, coupled with the scarcity of supplies, it is not possible for Hydro
to effect extensions of power lines and services to farms as promptly or
on the same scale as in peacetime,
Hydro Will make every effort to provide service to the more essential
farm and other rural users connected with tate production and processing• of
food. Those farmers and other users requiring electricity to assist in the
production of food and for the replacement of labour will be given preference.
Farmers located along existing lines will be given priority over those in
areas where lines must be constructed. In any case, only extensions of
limited length can be considered. All other rural residents on new or exist-
ing lines will be supplied with Hydro service as when conditions permit.
Hydro trusts that this, along with the previous messages, will enable
rural consumers to, more readily understand the new uniform Hydro rural
rates and the influence of wartime shortages of manpower and materials
on power extension. Upon your request, further information on •these, mat-
ters will gladly be supplied by any Hydro Rural District Superintendent.
