To put Wirth an effective ar- iexent the same must be based on rfacts and on fae'ts Malone. liydr,o-Electrre power has been sup - replied by the Hydro -Electric Power '1Ca mmission euf Ontario since 1917. Il lac enabling By-law was voted on. :aural :carried in 1916 and the 30 -year :debentures were sold on reecember list, 1917, 'The residents of this vit.- ;lege haves:njoyed the benefits and ..conveniences derived from the use of Inedro-ole roc power since the fall of 1917 and during the past ten years here .and more use has been made ;of, -at until it the present time thirty - ?three electric ranges are in nse, about twc.:nt -five hot plates, besides :inte- rzone -toasters, electric irons, evash- ing mtt&dnes, etc. It is a convenience that When once enjoyed it would be chit cult to get along without it The ':peak load means the highest point -of consumption of power in ;:ref]: month. A special meter at the :,r utheely limit of the village Irene which point we derive our power from the high power transmission Tines, -reg;is tars the peak olad. The freak lurid- established when the pewee- consumed ewee- .cin sumed remains stationers at the 'high pint of consumption for twenty minutes. The meter is read ower a• month and the monthly power 'leifl is renamed based :on this reading. A. •Tcne years; ago a graphic • chart -wee 'grade ehowing when the peak load in ;Zrtr'ieh was made. Thi, chart :showed :boat the highest point of polder eon- --ureeptit n was on Friday and Suitizr- day forene¢ans .and on Saturday even- ings. a :t that time the• peak load, when tete ladies of the village were doth$ their baking on the electric ova?ass on Friday and Saturday fore- ne<3ns, equalled the lighting lead on Saturday evenings, and it is probable that the same conditions exist at pres- ent, This therefore, shoa't's that the :peak load is not made by the use of electric ovens as so many think but the lighting load on Saturday even- ings is just as heavy. • If the electric ranges were all cut off, ,the local sy- stem would be greatly injured for the reason that the peak load on Sat- urday •ev+exaiigs would have to be paid for and the revenue from the range users ;x*ould• be nothing. There- for it is quite clear that the electric ranges are 'a benefit to the system as they are :heavy consumers of power and meek :revenue is derived threu'gh their 'use. Each element on a range uses 2 hip. when in use` and a hot plate the lh.p, If all the elements on the electric ranges and hot Plates installed 'in the village wen teemed. on Iu'1'i egtrength at the :same time the,. peak 'load. would greatly exceed 'no' h.p. TO course this never happens' but it can easily be seen how a peak load e<otild be established far beyond; what It should be. The house wives of our Village could assist greatly in ke-' owing slur peak load down if they would lend their co -owe -Alm. when baking, they should not use any of the !com king elements, elea'tiic irons, etc. If some of the good housewives would do their baking earner in the week the power load would not alli. come on Friday and Saturday fore-' weenie. and so would be mere evenly divided. And on Saturday evenings] no oven elements, electric iron, etcd should be used and all 'electric 1 ghts not needed should be switched •off; j espsaia11y between the hours of eight; and ten o'clock. Zurich pays $•62:09 i pee le :p. per annum or $5.44 per h.p. Per month. Every horse pewee saved would mean a saving of $5.04, so -it is -up to us to help and keep the peak' load Clown. if all consumers in the Village wo- uld remember these vital facts and ••��ema.o•os��••ssa�•s��,was,>�s.•s0+®•c•:•s�s•sraa.98:o • Baby Chicks and Custom Hatching• • •1 Jersey Black Giants. a WE VE INSTALLED A NEW '39.000 Eant CAPACITY 1N''CU- f -: BATOR FOR CUSTOM Ii,h.TCHIltb..:, ONLY.

At the end of the year .'if the village has paid more for power than the cost .thesurplus is refunded to us, no it is up to us locally to try lrcl keep ellown our peak load, and. make our local system a paying sy- stem. By doing this our system would not only show a satisfactory _profit for the year's operation • but would also help to keep our rates to consumers at the -same level' as we are now paying. Let us all co-operate, keep away from .the heavy loads on Friday and Saturday forenoons and on Saturday` evenings and we shall all benefit in the end. Andrew F.
