W. WAWANOSH FAR- MER FOUND DEAD LOCAL AND PERSONAL LOCAL COMMISSION PAY EXCHANGE BILL Payment is Subject to Any Future, Adjustments There has been considerable con- troversy in the press with regard to the payment of U.S. exchange by the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario. Each municipality was billed by the H.E.P.C. for the pro- portion of the exchange according to the amount of horsepower used. The Utilities Commission in many places objected to paying the am- ount. The local Commission, after due consideration, decided that they would pay their share ($779.71) sub- ject to any future adjustments by the H.E,P.C. The reason the local Com- mission took this action was that the surplus on hand is ample to take care of such emergencies without af- fecting the local rate in any waye The majority of municipalities who, are objecting to these payments find that it would be necessary to raise their rates to consumers. In every business money should be set aside in reserve to meet unex- pected contingencies and the local commission, having adopted, this pol- icy since its inception, find them- selves well able to meet this pay- ment ,or. any other extraordinary ex- penditure found necessary.
