This rate change will be effective on all bills issued on or after September 1. 1974. King City Hydro Boosts Rates The increase was explained to the residents in this way, “On January 1, 1967, we were faced with the first of the annual increases in the cost of power which has amounted to approximately seven percent per year until the latest advice which pre- dicts an increase of 15 per- cent for 1975. "Your commissioners were able to maintain our low rates of 1965 until last year when we had our first rate increase which we were un- able to absorb. A modest in- crease in consumer rates be- came effective July 1, 1973. but our balance sheet for 1973 showed a further operation loss of $11,529.00. “The retail rates of the commission have been under review for some months and on June 28. 1974, the power corporation approved in- creased rates. It has been the usual prac- tice to have a separate retail rate for each of small com- mercial. commercial. chur- ches and industrial, though it has always been felt that it would be more equitable if all categories paid the same price for the energy they consumed. During the past few years there has been developed a “General Rate" which has been installed by most hydro systems and which has proved to be a much fairer distribution of the cost of power. Starting with bills issued on and after September 1. 1974. this hydro system will use the general rate for all four classes of customers. This will mean that a very few customers will pay more and a few will pay less proportionately to what they have been paying. Most cus- tomers will not be affected. General rates will be as follows: Demand Charge â€" First 50 KW of billing de- mandâ€"no charge. Balance over 50 KW demandâ€"$2 per KW. Energy Charges â€" First 50 KW Hoursâ€"5.0a Next 200 KW Hours â€"- 2.5c; Next 9750 KW Hoursâ€"1.7c.: First 50 KW Hoursâ€"50¢. Next 200 KW Hours â€" 2.5c; Next 9750 KW Hoursâ€"1.7m All additional KW Hours â€" 0.7c. The commercial heat- ing rate and church discount have been discontinued. There will be a late pay- ment charge of five percent on all bills not paid on or before the due date." This letter was signed by J. H. Hayles. chairman King City Hydro Commission. of honor for the HENSHAW-BANNISTER THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Wednesday, Aug. lovely bride was Helene Mor- rison, and bridesmaids were Kathleen Graham, sister of the bride, and Martha Hen- shaw, sister of the groom.

Lucky Draw The Town of Richmond Hill held a public meeting on the Working Aims and Objectives of the new Offi- cial Plan, on the evening of August 15 at Lake Wilcox Public School. The audience, comprised mainly of Ward 5 residents, was about 40 strong. The presentation was made by two members of the town’s planning department, headed by Planner Kathy Pounder. Question and com- ments were invited from the public to be used in improv- ing, adding to or eliminating any of the proposals. The basic concern of the audience was the immediate issue of the Lake Wilcox Study and the date for the elimination of the cottages in the Sunset Beach area, now set at May 31, 1975. These issues were not part of the aims and objectives under discussion and so were not dealt with. The audience was asked to bring up their concerns at the council of the whole (parks and recrea- tion) meeting August 19, Oak Ridges Minor Softball Association held its 50-50 grand slam draw August 12.

King Township Council managed to keep the tax rate required for township government purposes down slightly frOm 1973, but taxes will increase about $44 on an average $20,000 assessment. The total in- crease is accounted for by an increase in the levy for education, it is reported. The tax bill for town- ship purposes on a $20,000 assessment is $102.82, down $7.36 from last year, but the school tax portion ol‘ the total bill is $306.68, up $50. 0f the $102.82, $39.20 will be spent for g e n e r a 1 government, $43.38 for roads and bridges, $9.54 for fire pro- tection and $10.70 for library purposes. The levy for the Region is $75.20, up slightly from last year’s $74.68. Last year’s roads budget was $272,600 and this year’s is only $231,315, accounting for the de- crease in the township por- tion of the levy. The increase is 7.3 per- cent, well below the 8 percent ceiling set by the province for maximum general support grant. King Taxes Up Slightly ’74 Assessment in the town- ship rose by $1,952,914. all industrial and commercial, in the past year to a total of $105,243,050 and it has a population of 13,084. o WEDDING RECEPTIONS o BANQUETS o PRIVATE PARTIES, ETC.
