' â-  Hydro Explains The Rise In Price A letter h;ts been received by Mr Frank Duncan, secretary 6f Ihe local hydro comnii'.Me, dea'ing with the raising of our rates for power and bghtiug, from which we quote is follnwti : The reason for iccrensing the Flesher ton rate from -826 to 9iC is due to the fact that tile money which the Commis- sion have received from Flesher'ou fbr power delivered has not been (ufficiect to meet the coat of service. In Hcccrdaucc wi'h the Act under which power is given, and in accordance with your contract, it is necessary for Flesherton to pay to the Commission ita propoitioa of tixej chirues, or iu other wo'ds the cost of service. The rate of J26 per h. p. :S an e>timat'td rate oi.iy, an(> the oiunicipHliiy is billed al this rale tor service until the books are closed at the end ot the fiscal year, when the varioua coste are apportioned to each municipality and the revenue received from the municipalities is app'itd against this cust as determined by ihe books. In the year 1919 Cne •iioney received fro» Flesherton was JITI .46 less than it cost tb« Commission to serve the village. From the dale on which power ^as tirst given, to October, 1919, there IS an accumulated deficit on the Couinis- sion'a looks aiuuui.ting to Si. 415. 8(3. This means that it ceais the Commission this amount more to the date lueutojued to serve th» Tillage of Flesherton than the village of Fleshcrion paid in dt the rate of $26 per horsepower. Further- more, it w:li le.pectssary at the end of the cumiD!,' year to charge Flesherlcn sicking fund. This sinking fund is deferred for five veurB, aid iis Flaaherion â- IH.1 leen operating over four years at the present tune, it will be necessary at the end of the present year to take care of this charge. In order to meet the cost of service and in order to eliminate the deficit on the Commijsi.in's books, it is uecess^ary^ lor flesherton to pjiy the Gomnr.sslon more than $20 per horsepower per yesr for. ts power, and for this reason the rate has been increased to $.°!6 per horsojower per annum. Your resale rates lo customers have been increased in order to meet this increased c:i8t of power, as well as to pirovide forsutiicieut funds lo carry on the local system. The cost of operatini; the Eugenia system has inciessed duriui: the past few years on account of Ihe Commission having to pay higher wages and higher salaries, and under such circumstances it has bee'j found necessary to increase th« rate to municipalities, so tU it the delict's which have been occurinj; in the past may be eliminated and sutficieut rHve- Dun obtained in the future to meet the cust of service The letter is signed by F. .1.

Murh was said about the Inertaaed ccst of living, and ibe harckhip incident lo a four months' residence at Ottawa fcr S2.5UU, ot about thirty dollars a woiking day. There is something lo be said for making the indemnity .arge enough to allow a peor man to tpend four or live menths.in the country's service. But surely a little of the spirir of sacrifice might hav« teen shown by men who m 191" loudly declared that it was the duty of ihe ytu.)g men of Canada to offer up their lives f.r their country for SI. 10 a day, living ID cold and muddy trenches an.i not in the Chateau Laurier »nd the palaze built In replace the Parliament bu;l(?;r.gs burned down in l'J16, with spacious offices snJ » parlininentury res- iaurant seriinu full course dinners at fifty cents, ea'.icg largely at the j uhlic expense : travelliui; free on the riiiways and having their lettcis caiiied at ll e est cf the country. Sacrifice and service are for ihe young men who do the lighting and for the people who p»y the taxes, uiciuding the money necesfary to raise the half indlion dailars a year for the distressed legislat ors at Ottawa. Talk tu these distressed legislatois of sacrifice and they will dwell upon iho hardship of residence at Ottawa at six hundred dollars a month, and ihe separation frcm their wives and families for a week or at most a few months. Relief has coree «c last for the legitlators. The indemuity is fi:(eda:a thousand dollars a month, tlut there is n-i relief fer the taxpayer who is ui;W harrased and watched and taxed to an extent lor which there is no precedent in our historv.
