Flesherton has received their 13th power hill from the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission and again I we are pleased to report a surplus of I $354.55 which is considerably lower I than previous years. The reduction in the net surplus is accountable by the heavy expenditures on the local system, several new lines and instal- lations being made, and also on ac- i count of the reduction in rates enjoy- ed by the consumers of the System during the past year, the minimum domestic bill now being $1.00. The local System also had to pay their ?hare for the installation of a new station at Hanover, which brings the N'iagara power in to the Georgian Bay Systc-m.
