Manitoba Hydro Plans To Up Rate Structure
Manitoba Hydro plans rate increases to boost revenue by 3.0 to 3.5 million dollars beyond last year, with an effective date and amounts not yet set. Chairman D M Stephens told the public utilities committee the rise will likely occur in the 1968 69 fiscal year and affect general consumers, citing inflation and higher interest costs. Hydro norms include the authority to adjust rates without Public Utilities Board hearings, and notes that productivity gains will offset rising costs.

History of Bridges and Floods in Early Manitoba Roads
In spring 1820 to 1852, floods repeatedly washed out roads and bridges around Pointe Douglas. Sheriff Hoss’s property faced multiple bridges built, destroyed, and rebuilt at costs from one pound six shillings to sixty six pounds. By 1852 no bridges stood until a new appeal, while faggots as ballast dwindled and 2000 faggots failed to be procured for Frog Plain road alone, signaling chronic road failure.

At the annual convention the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce passed a resolution urging the federal government to delay implementing universal medical care beyond July 1 and to consider an alternative scheme acceptable to the public and provinces. President W M Anderson of Vancouver warned against universal care, saying government programs should aid those unable to care for themselves. A second resolution urged a firm federal policy on regional air service with loans grants and subsidies for under served areas.
