The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1975-05-08, Page 10 (2)Pogo 10 Times -Advocate, May 8, 1975 By JACK RIDDELL M.P.P. The Ontario Government will provide $25 million worth of special interest loans this year to farmers 18 to 35 years of age to help them avoid borrowing at high interest rates to get started in business. The Ontario Young Farmers Credit Program will provide the guaranteed bank loans for young farmers. There is no limit on the amount of each loan. The loans will be for 10 years. During the first two years. the farmers will repay only the interest on the loan. For the remaining years, he will pay both interest and prin- cipal. The interest rate will be 1 percent higher than the prime lending rate at the time. W. A. Stewart, Minister of Food and Agriculture, said that within the last two years about 50 per- cent of the agriculture school graduates are returning to work on the farms and they as well as other young people would probably welcome the op- portunity to participate in this program to become established. The Government will also double its special grants to Northern Ontario farmers this Special loans to farmers year, according to Agriculture Minister Stewart. A submission was received this week by the Minister of Energy, Dennis TimbreIl, from Ontario Hydro concerning proposed changes to its bulk power rates to be effective January 1, 1976. The proposal provides for approximate increases in revenue of $208 million from the municipal utilities and $54 million from the direct industrial customers. This will result in a rate increase averaging ap- proximately 29.7 percent to municipalities and about 29.9 percent to direct industrial customers. The Minister indicated that the proposed higher rates must be substantiated by Hydro on the basis of demonstrated and necessary increases in costs in the full glare of public scrutiny. It was also stated by the Minister that according to Hydro. the largest single con- tributor to higher costs is the continuing increase in the price of fossil fuels - which account for and 26 percent revenue needs in between 25 Ontario total 1976. The Minister said as required he was referring this proposal to the Ontario Energy board for its hearings which are expected to commence on June 9th. This will provide an opportunity for Ontario Hydro to publicly defend its proposal and for interested members of the public to study and question it. The board will consider all evidence submitted and opinions expressed before submitting its report by the end of August. 1975. Meanwhile. the Association of Direct Customers of Ontario Hydro, representing large in - We'll Do the Job Right...

CENTRALIA, ONTARIO Plant: 235-0833 Office: 228-6961 dustries which consumes 30 percent of Hydro's output, called the proposed increase out of line with economic realities and a threat to the industries' com- petitive position. Hydro has ignored Ontario Energy Board requests to drop reserve requirements to 23 percent, slow down its nuclear programmes and delay building a fourth heavy-duty plant at the Bruce Nuclear station, pending an independent inquiry into the need for such expansion. Construction of that plant was announced a week ago, and although the Legislature has been informed that the govern- ment is not totally convinced of the need for the full expansion programme, there is apparently no intention of dropping the plans in the immediate future. Premier Davis expressed his concern in the Legislature over the proposed increase in the price of natural gas. He said unless set aside, this higher price will becomeeffectiveon November of this year. Mr. Davis said the proposed increase would worsen inflation and increase unem- ployment. The adverse impacts will ripple through the national economy. It is the view of the Govern- ment that it is in direct opposition to the current economic and social interests of this nation. Mr. Davis said it must not be per- mitted. The Premier said that an Ontario family that uses 144 thousand cubic feet of natural gas for cooking and heating would see their costs increased by $120 a year or an average of $10 a month. The Government has agreed to match dollar for dollar any money raised locally to assist those people who suffered damage in the recent flood. Any area interested in this programme should establish a local committee to raise money. As soon as this is done the committee should notify M.D. Trewin, Director Subsidies Branch, Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovern- mental Affairs, 5th Floor, 56 Wellesley Street West, Toronto, in order to serve notice to the Government that a claim is going to be filed. Amendments to the Succession Duty and Gift Tax Acts have been debated. which provide for an increase from $50,000 to $70,000 in the exemption of gifts in far- ming assets for use in farming, and from $2,000 to $5,000 in the annual exemption for gifts made by a donor to any one individual, and from $10,000 to $25,000 in the aggregate of such annual exemptions that a donor is en- titled to claim in a year.

He asked the Minister to in- vestigate the matter because "if in fact, the Ontario Hydro has charged not only their retail customers but their wholesale customers on this basis, and the increase has been passed on to the consumers, the people of Ontario have been ripped off to the tune of millions of dollars." Mr. Bullbrook also turned the matter over to the Ontario Energy Board as he wanted an objective evaluation of the complaints. A Hydro spokesman confirmed that the 12 percent increase, which became effective January 2nd, was applied to the constituent's hydro bill for the period after his meter was read on December 10th. Apparently numerous com- plaints had been received from consumers about the backdating of the scheduled January rate increase, but Hydro does not intend to rebill customers, claiming that would cost too much money. Mr. Bullbrook stated that the utility should pay back all overcharges, and if Hydro will not do this voluntarily, the Ontario Engery Board or the Cabinet should order a refund. The Electoral Boundaries Act and the Election Expenses Act, both considered essential before the call of an election, received third reading this week. BONING UP ON THE STUDIES -- One of the more curious displays at Mt. Carmel Separate School Thursday was this one of recreated dinosaurs. The skeletons were constructed of chicken and, as the two boys said, "mostly dead cow bones". They also said the one at the left took only one hour to make. From left are Richard Vandenbrek, Lenny Dietrich, Dinnette Steffens and Susan Sullivan, with an interested parent inspecting behind them.
