The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1974-03-28, Page 2n6 B BLOCK 19,1 BECOME A RED CROSS VOLUNTEER A Message to the Customers of the Undersigned Public Utilities Commissions On March 8, 1974 most Public Utilities were represented by their Commissioners at the annual convention held in Toronto. This group of Commissioners belong to an organiza- tion known as the Ontario Municipal Electric Association. The Ontario Government has recently announced the abolition of the Hydro Electric Power Commission and has delegated their responsibility to the Board of the Hydro Cor- poration of Ontario. This Board will consist of thirteen members, however, only two of these members are to repre- sent the Ontario Municipal Electric Association. The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario and the municipal electrical Utilities have been a co-operative trust. The municipal electrical Utilities through their payments of wholesale power costs have built up an equity in the Ontario Hydro of approximately 70% and the Ontario Municipal Electric Association believe that they should have a propor- tional representation on the new Hydro Board. At the annual convention in March the Ontario municipal Electric Association in which the undersigned Utilities are members passed a resolution as follows: "Be it resolved that the Ontario Government be asked to issue common voting stock certificates in the new Ontario Hydro Corporation to each participating municipal electric or public utility in proportion to the total equity which each such utility holds in Ontario Hydro, and THAT the Board of Direc- tors of Ontario Hydro Corporation be elected by the shareholders, and THAT as an alternative to the issuance of common voting stock certificates in the Ontario Hydro Corporation, the On- tario Government be required to pay in cash to each municipal electric or public utility the recorded value of its equity in Ontario Hydro, subject to interest at the ,prime in- terest rate until final payment has been made. AND FURTHER THAT this matter be taken to the courts if necessary to obtain satisfaction," The Public Utilities Commission believe that its customers are shareholders in our own communities Public electrical utili- ty. However, you are also a shareholder in Ontario Hydro and as your representatives, we believe we must pursue this subject in the best interest of our customers. We have taken this means to advise you of this vital matter. Price of Beef Not Coming Down Where You Shop?
