ONTARIO HYDRO APPROVES NEW SCHREIBER RATES Schreiber Hydro Chairman Gino Caccamo to- day announced that Ontario Hydro has approv- ed a new rate schedule for utility customers. The new rates, which will be effective on all bills issued on or after July I, I973, provide for an average increase of II.8%. Mr. Caccamo said that as he had indicated earlier in May, continuing inflation and the increasing cost of power purchased from Ontar- io Hydro had made the rate change necessary. "These adjustments", he added, "will en- able us to maintain a reasonable financial position in the current year and provide for the growing electrical needs of the commun- ity." Customers will be billed at the new rates for energy taken starting in June 1973. The minimum bill will now be $3.50 instead of $2.50 AUXILIARY CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY The Ladies Auxiliary to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch I09, celebrated its 26th Anni- versary with a dinner, planned and served by the Branch.
