T-A photo Clandeboye girls accept jobs, another at bible graduation Any increase in the cost of electricity to the Exeter Public Utilities. Commission will be passed on to the consumer ac- cording to manager Hugh Davis but the effect won't be as costly as it may appear at first glance. Ontario Hydro is seeking a 29.7 percent increase in rates for municipal utilities. Mr. Davis explained that buying and selling of electricity totalled only about 60 percent of the utility's gross revenue and as a result, a 29.7 increase by Ontario Hydro, if granted by the Ontario Energy -Board, won't mean a 29,7 increase to the average Exeter consumer„ "There is no way we would be passing on the entire percentage increase to the consumer," said Mr. Davis. He said he was hesitant to make any predictions on what the increase might be for local consumers. "The matter still has to be reviewed by the energy board," said. Mr, Davis, "and they might not grant Ontario Hydro the increase it is looking for. The whole matter is still very un- certain and more details and decisions will be needed before anything definite will be decided upon." Mr. Davis said that in the past, the Exeter Public Utilities Commission has been able to absorb slight increases in power cost due to increased revenue from new services brought about by an expanding economy. He intimated I that with an increase in energy rates, plus the general increase in the cost of materials which is being met• by every industry, there would definitely be an increase in costs to the local electricity consumer. 'But it will not be as high as the percentage Ontario Hydro may be granted," he assured the T-A. Soaring costs in materials are a problem to the utility. Mr. Davis said that when a transformer was needed for the senior citizens apartment complex recently, a Canadian source needed forty weeks to deliver, The PUC decided that it couldn't wait and ordered through an American firm which promised 12 week delivery. "In those 12 weeks," said Mr. Davis, "the cost went up 10 percent." Other costs ae also jumping. Wooden hydro poles have doubled in cost in a little over a year. All other materials are increasing by similar amounts. "The question of a rate in- crease hasn't been discussed by the commissioners as yet and we will have to wait until we see how big an increase the Ontario Energy Board grants Ontario Hydro," he stated. "We couldn't even guess at a local rate in- crease right now," Ontario Hydro submitted its request to the Ontario Energy Board on Thursday April 24, asking for an increase of about 29.7 percent to the 353 municipal utilities which buy in bulk and in turn supply 2.5 million users in Ontario. Rate changes for Ontario Hydro's own retail customers, about 700,000 consumers in rural Ontario served directly by Ontario Hydro, will be announced at a later date according to an Ontario Hydro source. Industrial users throughout Ontario will be hit with a 29.9 percent increase if Hydro's present bid is approved by the board. Ontario Hydro's new chairma,_ Robert Taylor, who took over as head of the Ontario Hydro Board in January, called the increases "regrettable" in this period of inflation. The annual meeting of Hurondale WI was held in the Usborne Central School at 6:30 with a pot luck supper and 47 members present. Following supper/ gifts were given to the secret pals and names drawn for next year.

The High Risers had their 7th meeting at the home of their No decision on street No decision has been reached yet on the proposal to open Alexander St. behind the in- dustries on Highway 83 East, but Exeter council were given several reasons Monday night why the project should not be attempted. Erik Gravlev of JF Farm . Machinery stated in a letter that the project would be technically difficult and therefore expensive, the street would be difficult to maintain because it would be subjected to heavy loaded trucks, traffic jams would be created at the Highway 4 intersection, firms in the area would be unable to increase in size and therefore jobs would be jeopardized and it would be an inconvenience to JF in the operation of their warehouse. "It is a must for us to oppose expropriation," Gravlev con- cluded in his letter, noting that other firms were also opposed to the suggestion of opening the Street. Deputy-Reeve Tom MacMillan reported that planning board had met Saturday and considered the matter and it would be some time before they had a recom- mendation to make to council. At the last council meeting, it was indicated that planing board had, originally recommended the opening of the street. The planning board asked this week that they be kept informed of any changes in the status of the street and also that any building permit requests for the area be referred back to them. Mayor Bruce Shaw said that one of the problems in the area is due to the fact it contains three different types of zoning - residential, industrial and agricultural. leader Mrs. A, Hodgins.
