Peak Demand Peak demand for electrici- ty in Ontario in August was an estimated 13.8 million kilowatts, a decrease of 0.9 per cent from the August, 1981 peak. Ontario energy consump- tion for the month was also slightly down with a 1.7 per cent decrease to 7.8 billion kilowatt-hours, compared to 7.9 billion kilowatt-hours in August,,1981. Exports Up Led by a 102 per cent jump in sales to the New York Power Pool, Hydro's elec- tricity exports to the United States rose 12 per cent com- pared with August, 1981. Net revenue from exports was' $15 million, up . more than 14 per cent from a year ago, on a volume of just over one billion kilowatt-hours. Sales to the. New York Power -Pool -increased main- ly because of a shutdown at the. Nine -Mile Point nuclear station near Oswego, N.Y. This was offset by a 39 per cent drop in sales to Michigan, due to the continu- ing slump in the auto in- dustry. OEB releases report The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has recommended Ontario Hydro increase its power rates by an average of 11.8 per cent in 1983. ` Hydro, in its February, 1982 submission to the OEB. had proposed a 18.9 per cent increase.

Take notice that the Council of The Corporation of the Town of 4oderich, on the 20th day of September, 1982, deckled to designate the lands and buildings, set Out below as .a property of historical value in interest under the Ontario Heritage Act, 1980, R.S.O. Chapter 337; Part 4. Short statement of the reasons for the proposed designation: The Warnock House has been recommended for designation for architectural reasons. Although John Brackenridge built the house around 1885, it was occupied by the Warnock family for over half a century. The house is on excellent example of Italianate architecture uncommon 'to Goderich. This large, brick structure is one of the earlier residences to locate in the east end of town on. Albert Street. It has since retained a dignified man- ner set apart from the neighbouring houses by its unique style "and massive lot. On the east end of the lot stands the original coach house. The Garrow House, built around 1850, has been recommended for designation for ar- chitectural reasons. This large home is a Georgian style residence proportioned by large front windows and two end chimneys. Other details on the house are impressive in- cluding the Palladian\window, the decorative brackets and stone lintels and keystones. The first and second storey verandahs sound the house and wind past the side to the garage. The house was once the home of James T. Garrow until he became a Supreme Court Judge and later a Local Judge of the Canadian Exchequer Court. The Holt House, 138. North Street, has been recommended for designation, for historical and architectural reasons. The house, built around 1889, was the long time residence of Judge Philip Holt. In 1902, Holt became Junior Judge of Huron and served frequently as a warden of St. George's Anglican Church. The house is a departure from earlier simple styles with a large, low hipped roof and side, bay window. The stained glass details and decorative gingerbread enhance the aesthetic qualities of the house and property. The Apartments at 116 West Street have been recommended for designation for architec- turalreasons. The building is a fine example of the Neoclassical style of architecture characterized by its rectangular shape and low pitched roof. Additional Neoclassical details include the elaborate entranceway and the large dormer windows. This frame structure, now blanketed in stucco, at one time ossessed a gallery which stretched the length of the front facade. Although changed;.,, the front entrance is still quite impressive and the fine proportioned windows are no longer hidden. - The Harbour Park Inn, built in the late 1830's, has been recommended for designation for historical reasons. The inn is one of the oldest buildings in Goderich built for Thomas Mercer Jones, Canada Company Commissioner. The inn was once quite an impressive residence and center of lavish dinner parties, bolls and garden parties. There were halls, drawing. rooms, and many bedrooms heated by ten fireplaces constructed of Italian marble. In 1852 Jones was dismissed by the Canada Company and become an agent for the Bank of Montreal. Jones 'returned to Toronto in 1857 when Mrs. Jones died; and the residence was converted into Bank of Upper Canada of- fices and later a hotel. The original structure has since been quite altered by change in ownership and by a 1945 fire. The Lewis House, 19 Wellington Street, has " been recommended for designation for ar- chitectural reasons. Built around 1865, the house is a classic' example of an Ontario,Cot- tage. Ontario Vernacular, thelocal cottage form, has a spacious porch and, low pitched roof. Its corner lot. isamong .magnificent neighbouring houses ,set upon large ions. The cottage character is strengthened by these homes and set further apart by its unique shape and handsome window details. The windows, in a variety of sizes, are fully or par- tially decorated with lead screening. The front entrance is quite detailed and covered by a roofed"porch. ' The 0 Rourke cottage is recommended for designation for historical and architectural reasons. It, was built around 1862 by Thomas Van Every as a labourer's cottage and rented to Peter O'Rourke, a teamster who kept two horses, on the property. O'Rourke bought the house in 1868 and the property remained in the family until 1901. The house is built in the Ontario vernacular version of the Picturesque style, with a rectangular centre hall plan and a central peak. Picturesque elemenis include the central peak, scalloped wooden trim on the main window headings, and the round - headed window in the peak with its polygonal heading: The picket fence surrounding the property helps to f ame this delightful and authentic labourer's cottage of the mid nine- teenth century. "The Huron County Museum" is a distinguished work of architecture in the Elizabethan styl'e. Con- structed in 1856 as a schaol ftau'se,'the_btnldh'rg, which is two storeys n. freight, has civic grandeur - as witnessed by its symmetrical principal facades to the north, south and west and projecting gabled front and twin gabled wings to the side. The wall material is mostly a"warm orange brick reminiscent of the Netherlands, which greatly influenced the Elizabethan style, but with stone banding and framin&to' the windows and from elevation. On the side elevations the stone -choxages-to-aught-bu#f-brisk-r Tell rec- angutor4h rune s flenh4he side -elevations. The building's principal facades are dose to the original design and represent therefoi-e, a fine opportunity to conserve an example of Elizabethan styled civic building stock.
