Publichera Reductions Made In Cost of Hydro A saving of about $125,00 a month will probably be realized by Seaforth Public Utility Com- mission as a result of rate re- ductions to go into effect Sept. 1st. Seaforth has been paying $39.75 per kilowatt and the new rate has been set at $•38.50, according to word received Wed- nesday by the P.U.C. in $ea - forth, A change in the method of establishing rates at which pow- er is purchased from Ontario Hydro has brought about the saving to Western Ontario mun- icipalities. Hydro is pooling its accounting system throughout this area. The move will end the method under which municipali- ties paid for power according to the distance they are from the source. It is stated that whether the savings will he passed on to lo- cal consumers will be decided by the municipalities themselves after a review of the situation. Those who have( been advocat- ing equalized hydro rates see in this reduction partial realization of their dreams. The contention has been that municipalities close to hydro developments had an advantage over other parts of the province. However, it is a broad question, which has been the grounds for many long ar- guments.

Guarantors had signed for an amount not exceeding 325 each. In addition, it was •made known that contributions from the publie generally would be 'appreciated. Already a number of citizens have indicated a de- sire to assist and have made do- nations. Other donations mai be given to any member of the association executive, the meet- ing was told. While final figures would not be available until later, Treas- urer C. M, Smith estimated the deficit on the basis of the al- most complete returns which he had. A complete statement will be made available when ac- counts have been finalized, it was indicated. Reviewing celebration details, it was indicated expenditures in each department were in line with similar events held else- where, and with estimates ar- rived at prior to the reunion. The difference lay in the fact that because of 90 -degree -plus heat, receipts were far below the amounts which had been es- timated. An example was the Tuesday afternoon program when admissions totalled ap- proximately $80. The Tuesday program, one of the outstand- ing features of the reunion, cost approximately 3500. Probably the largest crowd Seaforth has ever had saw the Civic holiday parade, yet fewer than 1,500 attended Monday's program, it was pointed out by program chairman Frank Kling. Small attendance at the various events was reflected in lowered concession rentals and novelty sales.
