COMMUNICATION To the Editor.of "The Advance", Dear Sir: Just a little space in your colums, this week would be highly appreciated. The other day a citizen of Wingham, made this remark: "the world is in an awful state, the churches are rotten to the core, there are none good, no not one." Now I would like to ask Mr. Citizen and a few others of the same calibre, if the churches are rotten, why do they not "pull up their racks" and try to build up and purify the good old church, instead of anathematizing it? Are the.r own skirts pure and white? Are they zealous in good works? Do they visit the fatherless and widow in their affliction, and keep theipselves un. spotted from the wo-ld? Do ' they-iare for the lambs of the flock, leading them to green pastures and still waters? Oi do they allow them to rove forsaken, over the wilds and the plains? Their one cry, ,'the church ija rotten". What will they give us in place of the church? They will give a weekly cottage prayer meet- ing a few months in the year, and let our boys and girls run hither and thither like a sheep without a shepherd. There are a number of sick 'and dying in Wingham to -day. They have been visit- ed and prayed with by, "the rotten church". They have had. both their tIVOR0 AT OST (Durham. Chronicle) In November, 1915, the Hydro was in- troduced and operated here, for the first time. The cost of Installation which was expected to costabout $IQ 000 exceeded the estimate by some four or live thou, sand dollars. The figures are not exactly correct,, but near enough for the purpose. he Ontario Hydro -Electric Power Commiselon aveed to give us power at cost, which was then set at 4,03,97 per horse power based on a 20 minute peak load (or the mo nth. It was also a part of the conditions that consumem should g!t the current fr in the local commis %on at cost, This meant the amount paid to the Ontario Hydra -Electric Power Commission for current, plus the local operating expenses. The revenue receiv- ed by the local commission had to take care of the operating expenses and pro. vide for payment of the debentures as they came due. No provision is made for the payment of new extensions as no profits tirise from seventies received. Ex- tensions made since then incurred an out. lay of between six and seven thousand dollars, The local;commission here paid as much as they could of this from the revenue received by the users contrury. to what they should have dohe and in consequence have been unable to meet the calls for debentures which, the town paid as t�cy became due. Now the Ontario Commission is pressing to have matters squared up, This can only be done by the issuance of new de- bentures by the Council to meet the cost of extensions. This they have power to do from time to time without submitting the question to a vote and this they'll be forced to do in the end. Reeve Calder objects to this and in so doing may place the town in the very awkward position of having the service Wt off by the Ontario Cogpinission, which they have the power to do In ac- cordance with the original contract sign- ed by Mayor Hunter in 1915. There is nothifig strange to a reason- able mind. when he thijoks of it, that the cost of power should increase or decrease in response to the ever changing cost can. ditions,, and as the town and consumers are to get the current ;at cost, we have no alternative but to submit to reason. able changes as they come, and the Coun- cil may just as well submit first as last. Thereare. some things about the Hydro, we do not like. but when fluctuations in pr!ce occur in everything else there is no- thing surprising in fluctuations in the cnat of hydro. The Ontario Commission agreed to give us power at cost. We agreed to accept it at cost. The pro.. vision is also made for consumers to get it at cost. and if they use it they must agree to pay. cost for it. Costs to -day are not the same as in 1917. This is a point we must not forget.
