Water Heaters for Every Hydro Home in Ontario To THE CITIZENS of 'ONTARIO • The Hydro -Electric Power Commission of Ontario is prepared to place in every Hydro home a fiat rate electric water heater at no charge to the consumer. This means that an electric • heater complete -with accessories— heating element, thermostat and tank insulation and the necessary wiring will be installed in any Hydro home in Ontario where facilities exist absolutely free of all installation cost to the consumer. All the consumer has to do is to pay for the current he uses at a new low flat rate. This plan provides for the free installation of "Flat Rate Water Heaters” only where such electric hot water heaters are not already installed. This offer will . be made for a limited period of time—the expiry date to be announced later. In homes where a "Booster" beater may be required in addition to the "Flat Rate Water Hearer" installation will be made and the consumer will pay a nominal monthly charge which may give him exclusive ownership of the heater at the end of a five-year period. ' Why this offer is made to you The Hydro Commission submits this offer to the people of Ontario for two reasons : To increase consumption of electrical power. To set to work as many Ontario citizens as possible. UNUSED POWER. Owing to the present long -continued depression, resulting in the slackening of industry through- out the province and the material falling off in the con- sumption of power by industrial consumers, the Commission possesses power capacity which if not used will be lost. In order to absorb this power the Commission is prepared . to install electric water heaters in all Hydro homes ee o cost, believing that mutual benefits will be conferred on (a) the user through free equipment and a water heating service superior in availability, convenience and comfort to any other method cif water heating; (b) the Commission through revenue obtained by the sale of power. Task will take time EMPLOYMENT. The plan of the Commission to installfive electric, -water heaters in all Ontario Hydro homes will directly stimulate employment, in addition to benefits to be derived from economy, convenience and increased comfort in the home. Orders have already been placed with factories located in various parts of the Province which have created employment for skilled and unskilled labour and resulted in the purchase of raw materials and the disbursement of wages. There is scarcely a home in Ontario which will not be affected beneficially by this plan of free installation of electric water heaters. Despite the fact that this plan has been. given many months of study and preparation by the engineering staff of the Commissioh it will take time for the factories of the Province to produce all the equipment called for. Raw materials must be bought—special tools devised—dies cut ---machinery installed and evert new industries established, before we can be assured of a steady supply of heaters built to our standards and specifications. We have already secured the utmost co-operation from electrical, mechanical and allied trades in the Province. Costs of equipment have been worked to a new low level providing at the same time fait wages to those who have found employment and a fair return to all those engaged in production. The Hydro Commission has set itself a task of considerable .magnitude. There are hundreds of thousands of Hydro homes, Industry and employment are given impetus under the plan. The free installationof electric water heaters eventually pays for itself in power consumed. The plan will cost you nothing. It will give you lasting benefits, the .first cost of which has not obligated you for one cent. Every home—every resident—the whole Province will be benefited, stimulated and enriched.; From time to timeion will advertise details of progress. We confidently anticipate your interest and ca a erectors in theplanbywhich p all will profit. 'Vatcli for the next announcement by this Cammission. Your own Hydro officials will gladly furnish further information. HON. J. R. COOKIE, M.L.A., Chairman. C. ALFRED MAGUIRE, Commissioner. RT. HON.
