A $1,765,900 refund will be made by Ontario Hydro to 298 municipal electrical utilities throughout the, province Chairman ,41135a S. can' announced recently. The refunds represent tile differ- ence between revenue received from municipal systems and the actual cost of supplying them power during 1960.
