New Year Increase For Rural Hydro Rates Announced
Ontario Hydro chairman Robert Lauriders said rural power rates will rise 14.0 percent starting January 1 1953 affecting 34 825 customers. The farm standard will pay about 84 cents more monthly as higher costs of power construction and maintenance drive the move amid sleet damage and rising tree trimming costs.
