Now, with the most . critical 'phase sof • war looming up,' there' is a `call upon the energies , and resources. of • Canadian , Red Cross workers, unique in all history.

By making slight increatses in the • horsepower charge of low, rate municipalities the H.E.P,C. plans under the new tax • pool' scheme to re- . ,dude the cost of hydro to $40 per 'horsepower in all municipalities paying more than that: At the same time the Hydro commission intends to amalgamate the Georgian Bay, East- ern Ontario and Niagara Systems with a con• seuu:eht saving that will more 'than offset th tax "poolcharges'.• "Following the equalization of rural hydro rates, this is a step in, the right direction to • remedy the tremendous. variation ' 'in urban rates which run from $15.86. per horsepower at. Ottawa to. $90.1.1 at Rosseau in the Muskoka, district. • r . Municipalities in this district paying mere than $40 per horsepower-', and which .stand to. benefit under the new plan are as follows: • Tara, , which .pays $40:66, Neustadt $40.74, Orangeville $40.85, Mount Forest; $40.86,: Wing - ham ,$41.39, Flesherton $42:57, Priceville $43 81, Clifford. $44:97, Paisley $45:07, Lucknow $45:20,.
