While average commodity prices. have now risen more than 18% over the 1935- 1939 average, the cost of ,electricity has actually dropped. • Report by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, December 4, 1944, says: "Reductions in electricity rates during the last year have provided a stabilizing influence upon the general cost of living index", On this date: Cost of living was up 18.9% Cost of food was up 30.8% Cost of fuel was up 8.1% Cost of electricity stood at 91.4% =a- drop of 8.1% Through the support that Ontario people have given their Hydro System, this Province now enjoys electricity,,at rates that compare favorably with the lowest in the world. Greater use brings lower cost. With the coming of peace, much power now being used or wa production will be availabJe to bring increased benefits to homes and farms. Plan now for greater use of.
