Hydro Consumers of Seaforth Some additional power resources will become available to the H.E.P.C. on December 15, 1949, at the close of the navigation season on the Great Lakes. During the night hours and on Saturday this extra power will make it possible to afford some measure of relief to retail merchants during the pre -Christmas season. Consequently restrictions on store window lighting ONLY will be suspended daily from 7.00 p.rn. to midnight December 15th to December 24th, 1949, inclusive, and all day on Saturday, December 17th, and on Saturday, December 24th This announcement, however, does not mean that power supplies will be unlimited .during this period. The commission cannot stress, too strongly that this temporary relief to merchants and Christmas shop- pers will only be possible if all consumers exert every effort to conserve electric energy. Your continued co- operation is therefore most essential For further information call SEAFORTH PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION PHONE 100 J Seaforth 'Ri
