FACTS Electric ' ABOUT HYDRO — No. 3 of a series of official announcements by the Ontario Municipal Association, representing the Municipalities who own the Hydro -Electric System of Ontario. • \i 5 s'a w r=ya m a la WhyHydro Buys Power Hydro has always obtained its power supplies from whatever source has, from time to time, been determined to be most economical. In the earlier years of Sir Adam Beck's administration, 98 % of the power dis- tributed to Hydro municipalities was purchasedfrom private sources. Then it became economical to build or acquire generating stations. At -the present time Hydro owns forty power -producing plants. . Power demands must be provided for—years in advance. The Conunissioii was prevented, by international and other circumstances, from further development of Ontario's large power resources on the Niagara, St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers. The only economical course left was to purchase—as the Commission - did—low-cost power from available sources. The following table sets forth the growth of your great Hydro undertaking through the years: • Growth of Municipalities and Consumers Served and Electric Power Generated and Purchased ' AVERAGE NUMBER OF PEAR DEMAND Powtttt Gi:'NFRATED POwRR PUacHASED PERIOD MUNICIPALITIES CONSUMERS ALL SYSTEMS I4oRSEFOvaR PER CENT, HORasi'ot!ER PER CENT. 1.910 to 1914 Incl. 45 77,853 91,338 1,863 2 . 89,475 98. 1915' to 1919 Incl. 205 175,702 325,046 242,634 75 82,412 25 1920 to 1924 Incl. 345 343,280 769,952 726,867 9443,085 - 6 1925.to 1929 Ind. 528 486,521 1,163,744 960,193 82.5 203,551 17.5 1930 to 1933 Inch 728. 603,880 1,514,040 974,084 - 64.3 539,956 35.7 It is the considered opinion of this Association that Hydro has pursued a cautious, business- like, and far-sighted policy in the purchase of supplementary power and that present power reserves are not ecessive. The general policy of the Commission respecting purchased power has been initiated with the approval of the municipalities and endorsed by the Hydro associations. These Hydro municipalities know the power requirements, and are obligated to supply the ever-growing demand for low-cost Hydro service in their respective districts. 1INTAFUO MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC AssocIATIoN PUBLICITY COMMITTEE : Chairman, Controller James Simpson, Toronto Frank L.
