breciation and interest on the in- lvestment.

, While it is true that the density of population in persona Der square Imlle is higher in Prince Edward |Island than in the other provinces of Canada. it is also true that the population is more lmifolmly dis- tributed over the whole area than in the other provinces. The rural residents are not crowned in areas |with large uninhabited spaces be- tween. such as they are elsewhere. The farlns are situated well back from the hiahwalv in most cases. ‘Ilhese factors tend to increase the length of line per customer neces- sary to provide service.

Thorough Survey llequlred

It was not possible in the short time available to make anythinn but a very general survey based on statistics which are very approx-

sary to so into these matters in a thorough manner so that one would be sure of the basic facts and factors in ‘ved. The new aerial maps which are promised for the sprint! will be a snot help in this work.

Prom the information liven me.

the b

this Commission would be on a very much smaller scale.

Maritime Electric Offer

The representative of the Mari-l time Electric Co. Ltd. did state, that they might be willing to build and operate the. lines if the Gov-i ernment would furnish the money; for their construction and for the_ annual deficits which would be ex-l perienced. st least for a time. I do not know if you could qualify for post war reconstruction funds on this basis or not.

I have not dealt with the seven. al small plants at different points supplying small communities. They‘! would either have to bring their, rate schedules in line with that, contemplated under your rural el-, ectrlfication plan or they would have to be taken over by the util-' ity which would be prepared to serve the area at the new rates. As you know, the rates in some of these communities are very high at present. _ i

This brings us to another point. Under any other lan except one such as outlined n alternative 1, there will be utilities operating which are not Government owned. In such cases it is essential that the operations of the non-Govern- ment owned utilities be fully rcgu» lated by a Public Utilities Board. The Board should keep itself ful- ly conversant with each Utility's operation. It should find a rate ase for each Utility and _fix schedules of rates and regulations for all service on a reasonable. rate of return basis. Each Utillty| should be compelled to keep the, Board fully informed by the regu- lar filing of reports on ite operb,

ns.

It would seem that some 2.000 miles of rural lines in addition to’ th c already built, under construc- tion and planned for construction

it would appear that there are hkwfim‘ “mm”

thirtee thousand farms in fir”... Edward Island and there i! a total of three thousand five hun- dred milea of road.

which the potential customers avail themselves of the service.

Educational Campaign

I think that It would be very helpful if a comprehensive iduca- tional campaign on the uses and benefits of electricity on the farm and elsewhere were conducted simultaneously with or somewhat in advance of the extension of the service into each area. Many of the prospective customers do not know, except in a very general way very much about the use of electricity. Such a campaign would hoth tend to attract more consum- ers and increase the consumption of each consumer, thereby lessen- ing the deficit of the undertaking. -'I'his report is very general in its scope and some of the more important oints dealt with are questions o policy rather than on- glneerlng, and on that account I hesitate to make definite recom- mendations. Summing up. I would make the following points:-

1. Complete rural electrification of Prince Edward Island lo a big undertaking and cannot be ac- complished without incurring oi substantial annual deficit. I

2. Before any definite program is adopted a thorough survey should be con ucted and a careful study made to determine the best way to develn the undertaking.

8. e streams of Prince Edward Island are not capable of develop- ing any quantity of power at a, reasonable cost.

4. The plant at the Mount Plea»- ant Airport would not fit into the program.

5. There are only twor generat- ing stations fn Prince Edward land which are worth considering in any long range rogram, name- ly. that of the arltime Electric Co. Ltd. at Charlottetown and that of the Town of Summerside at Summerside.

d. The plants at Charlottetown and Summerside, if tied together by a transmission line and added to as required, would satisfactor- ily serve the entire area in Prince Edward Island.

I trust this informatiml will be of some help to you at this time.

B It is about as far as I can go with . the data available. ’
