Hydro chairman Leroy Thiel told council members Wednesday night that the proposed increase was discussed recently with Hazen Bagley of Ontario Hydro. Bagley presented an up to date rate adjustment summary which showed revenue at existing rates and revenue at proposed new rates. Thiel told council, "It was seen from the proposal that if we did not increase the rates, our work- ing funds would be approxi- mately $6,677 in the red by the end of 1976." Huronview Rev.

Januar' 1 of this year by Ontario Hydro brought about the need for a rate adjustment." The 17 percent increase to Zurich hydro users will likely take effect about July 1 of this year. The Hydro chairman told council municipalities always face a problem with rate increases because it takes about six months after a provincial rise before the local utility can up their rates. An amendment to the Hydro Subdivision agreement announc- ed a month ago would allow charges made under Schedule B to be reviewed annually. Any portion of the develop- ment covered by this agreement and not completed at the time of such reviews will be subject to amendments in accordance with Schedule B charges approved by the Corporaion and in effect at the time of the review. sec Citizens News, May 19, 1976 -Page 9 HOT SHOTS WIN—The playoff championship of the Zurich mixed bowling league was won by the Hot Shots.
