George • H. Mathes, when be announced an intensive five - e r c Dation � l n b tri>d .. , P a to e under ak n b t 73 0 e , y ydr fn 'the imutedi ate'post-war period. Involving an espeedtjure of some $22,000;000 by the Flydro'.Commission on labor and'materials 'with the On- tario government °providing .:a grant -, to cover fifty per cent- of that cost, . the ..plan, it is estimated,will result in the construction of over 7,000 miles of additional rural lines,. which will bring Hydro service ce to approximately 57,900 new rural con- sumers, of whom 32,000 will • be farm- ers. Mr. Chaliies, who is vice-chairman of the Hylre Electric' Power Commis- sion of Ontario, also announced that the government would • de -invoke the Rural Power District Loans Aet to assist farmers finance the purchase' Qf necessary equipment and appliance, es and that the interest rate on loans wocent.uld 'be reduced from 5 to- 4 'Per To Spend Million a Month " Stressing the far-reaching benefits of the• plan, not only' to the farmer but to industry and the working man, Mr. Challies said that it was estimat- ed that both existing and new rural, consumers would spend over $40,000,- .00.0 on wiring their homes and. farms and on equipment. That sum,' com- bined with what the Commission and the government would spend, he stat- ed, Would represent 'a total expendi- ture of over $60,000,00p,.',and average $1;000,000 a month over the.•five-year. period` From the standpoint of employment he said that it had. been estimated that the services of• 5,000 men Would be required during each of the five !, years by the Commission ' is the electrical• industry to complete the plan. Emphasizing the magniture of the Commission's five-year plan „for rural Hydro • development, •Mr. Challies pointed out that at the present time only 65 per cent. of Ontario farms capable. of receiving electrical service are' now being served, representing 61,486 farms out of a possible 112,000. Upon, completion of the vast expan- sion schedule,' it was estimated that 81 per cent. of• the total ultimate mileage of rural primary lines will have been, constructed and that al most 85 -,per cent. of farms within the area that will eventually be served 'by the Commission will be'enjoying the conveniences and benefits of rur- al Hydro service, he stated. " "The government," Mr. .Challies said, "realizes ,"the, all-important place which agriculture oci:upies as a basic industry in the economic structure of this ,province. It is, 'therefore„ the desire of both the Commission and the government' to inaugurate a pro- gram which will enable as many farms •as possible to enjdy the bene- fits of low-cost Hydro power." "The •applicaation' of electrical pow- er to agricultural requirements; is the key to farming as a successful business in the post-war world," the Commissioner continued. "Production and conservation of crops and live- stock depend more and more on elec- trical aids; and the, effective applica- tion of electricity to many household uses has been recognized as, an essen- tial to the health and svelfre of the farm (family. In short, electricity provides the greatest aid to the farm- er at the lowest cost byincreasing his production, saving him labor and improving his standard of living. - Government Grant -in -Aid , The fact that the government would provide a grant-in-aid to cover fifty per cent. of the capital cost of distri- bution facilities and meet any losses, should they occur, from reduction of service charges and unification of rural rates showed its intention of continuing its policy of assisting the extension of rural electrical service, Mr. Challies stated. He declared that the success of the plan was based upon the closest co- operation among the Commission, the farmer and the electrical supplier, It had been estimated, Mr. Challies,safd, that the • five-year plan would entail the installation of large numbers of appliances, including 18,800 ranges; 58,500 washers;. .6,950 flat -rate water heaters; 90,000 irons; 24,600 ,refriger- atore ,and 95,500 radios, ,;an rural homes; and farm„ equipment installa- tions, including 6,45.0 grain grinders; 3,1150•rniliting machines; 7,400 water 'pumps and 2,300 milk coolers. , Contitining, Mr. Chailies referred to the 'uniform rural rates .introduced in January of 1944, and pointed, out that although consumption by farm con- sumers had not increased very much during the past year over 1943, the average monthly bill paid had drop- ped from. $3.81 in 1943 to $3.39 in per 1944,average and that the e oast 11 g n 2,42 n iri• knew -Mt -hoer had been , ce is ,. 1943, and 2.13 trents last ,year.
