The logical source of new energy was the St. lawrence pro- ject. There would inevitably be an increase in hydro rates and they might well be put up in the near future to provide a reserve for plant expansion. D. C. Cliff ot Dundas, president of the OMEA, said the power commission is selling power at lower rates than in the 193tys and demand is increasing. Generating capacity now was being taxed to its utmost t omeet demand and pay operating costs without in- creased rates. Ross Strike, second vice-chair- man of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission, told the OMEA that the St. Lawrence seaway would produce the cheapest power that Ontario could generate even if the United States did not take part. Us. participation would reduce the cost of power, he said. - TORONTO.; possible in- crease in hydro-electric power rates was discussed this week by the Ontario Municipal Electrical Association and the Association of Municipal Electrical Utilities " their annual conventions here Talk Possible Increase In Hydro Rates Recreation Commission Gets $3,500 Advance Last week the finance committee turned down a request by the Waterloo Recreation Commission for an udvume of $3.500.
