Let's Talk It Over

51'4"

We have jugglers put

all seen professional on halaiicing avis berause of their obvious difficulty, and the high degree of dexterity necessary to achieve them. None is more difficult, however, than some of the delicate balancing Il('lS wi- must perform in our driily living. 0ne.of the most difficult is to preserve the correct balance among school children between school work and school sports. 0 I I ' We must guard against all' work and no play, which makes Jack a dull buy. We must also guard against very little work and too much play, which makes Jack a lluggerd who seeks pleasure at the expense of his responsibilities.- An extensive sports program is a, fine thing in any educational in-i stitution just so long as it is noti

the be-all and the end-all of scholastic endeavour. I O C

We believe in the value of con-' trols which are established to see that every student, of as many as possible, take part in some form of sports, and that no stu- dent carry his sporting activities to the point where his academic progress is being retarded. The efficient carry-out of such con- trols ls not easy. The athletic activity of students who find "book-learning" extremely difficult should not be curtailed because of low standing in their classes. But when you are sure that a boy is falling far below his potential be- cause of his sports activities, it is fair and just: that some depart- ment f the sports program be forbid en him. Indeed. it is not doing him Justice if such con- trol la neglected;

.

There is a happy medium be- tween school work and school play for every individual student. and it takes sound Judgment and expert handling to strike it.

That due to line lose the electric power purchased from the Town of Summerside is costing i-ham more at the.cuslomer's meter than they are receiving was emphasized yesterday by Mr. Austin A. scales. president of scales H.VdIf0 E1003” Oompany, in an application by the company for an upward NVIJIDD of its rates before the Public Utilities Commission.

Mr. Scales stated that orizim-ll! his company obtained all its pow- or from water wheels. but the greatly "increased demand had for- ced them to install auxiliaries and finally even these proved inadeq- hate to carry the load. It then became necessary to purchase power from the Town of Summer- side.

'He pointed out to the Commis- sion that there had been I. 100 percent increase in customers in the past 10 years. In 1943 the company had 316 users of its pow- er and now there are over 000

had been a 22 and an increase kilowatt hours The increase in

percent increase. of 108 percent in to supply them. revenue in this period had been 97 percent which was in part due to an increase in rates granted in I949

Mr. Sonia told the Commission that production of power by hy- dro at its fullest operation was about 350,000 KWH per year while their total production and purch- ases last year was 850,000 KWH. This means, he said, that the com- pany is using from its own sources only 40 percent of its require- ments with the balance of 50 per- cent having to come from purch- ases and the use of auxiliaries. Sitting were all members of the Judge G. St. Clair Trainer. chairman, L. B. McMillan, secretary, and W.R. Brennan. Ap- pearing with Mr. Scales was Mr. H. Frank MoPhec, KC. There were no customers of Scales Hydro El- ectric Company present at the hearing and this fact was com- mented on by Judge Trainor.

To File Submission

No decision was reached by the Coiiimissioii yesterday as Judge Trainer suggested that Mr. Scales file a later submission giving the capital structure of the company for 1953 and suggestiiig the de- sired rate. The company fiscal ycar ends today.

The company president told of purchasing the company in 1928, shortly alter he had moved into the area to grow potatoes. He said the light 5Pi'l.'lCF then was poor and in looking for an improve- ment he thought to purchase in order to improve the service. He then built lines to other centres. Speaking of line loss he said it could run as high as 30 percent, but was using :35 percent as an acceptable figure. He said they purchased power at three cents per KWI-I but due to the log it cost them four cents at the cue- lximern meter. He added that un- der the present rate structure the company made a substantial part of its sales at three and one-half cents.

Mr, Scales felt that his company was supplying electric power at a lower rate than any other light utilitv in the Province. Quoting coinparative rates he showed the Commission where they did supply at lower customer cost in all but the 300 to 500 KWH range for domestic rural customers.

For urban users his comparison chart indicated a great difference in customer cost in the small users class with the charges of other companies ranging as much as 107 percent higher for 5 KW!-I to'10 percent higher for 200 KWH.

' Street Lighting

Regarding street lighting Mr. Scales said he found a strange rate structure. He said that in the city here the charge for 100 watt

Scales Company Application Before Utilities Commission

lamrpe was 336 per year while in town' and rural districts it was as. He could not understand why it was possible to supply light more cheaply in the country. His company. he stated. charged Ken.- elngton 021 per year. but admitted that this figure did not include or placement costs of iampe while the coat in this city did.

He felt that his company's rates were too low in view of what it cost them to purchase power. However, they were forced to pur- chase as they could not give such uninterrupted service with hydro power alone. He said the com- lpany was operating at a log and believed all these factors should be taken into consideration inset- ting new rates. so far, he stated, the present rates below those of other utilities were made possible by relatively low management cost. Mr. Scales produced a. summary of the revenue and expenses of the company for the yeua 1938 to 1958 and noted that until 1940 there had been little change. Then it became neoeuary to introduce auxiliaries to supply power during dry spells of low water.

He told the Commission of the difficulties he had encountered in attempting to obtain auxiliary units in both wartime and after- wards. One they obtained had proven almost useless and event- ually had to be junked. He said he managed to get a used gener- ator in St. Louis, U.S.A., and they also have a Diesel as a standby to ensure continuing service in case the Summerside source should fall.

Financially the company had op- erated at a loss from 1947 to 1950 due to the cost of keeping engines, but a rate increase of one cent per KWI-I across the board but materially helped and biought the firm back in "the black". How- ever. 1952 had been a bad year as the engine gave up and they were forced to hire a Diesel at very he”? cost. This had to be done or the company would have been forced to shut down. The president said he satisfied with the present rate structure and would welcome ii change in the domestic and com-

crease in revenue.

Mr. Scales then tendered in evi- dance a long detailed report pre- pared by the woountanoy mm of McDonald Currie and Oumpany. It was a complete audit for the years 1938 to 1953 and had been prepared at Mr. 8oaies' request to consider taking purchasu of a capital nature which had been charged to expense and charging them to capital instead. .

There was a long diacuuion of a highly technical financial nature between Messrs. scales and Mo- Phee and the members of the

the Commimionh financial er, Mr. Randolph W. Manning, C. A., would examine the report and would probably wish in question Mr. scales on it at a. later date. He explained that Mr. Manning was presently out of the Province and for that reason had been un- able to attend yesterday's hearing.
