Barkerville
treasures
in Victoria

VICTORIA—Victoria is pro
ing a treasure trove for histori-
cal furniture, clothing and other
material for restoration of the
famed gold-mining metropolis
ot Barkerville.

Chester Lyons, head of the
Barkerville project for the pro-
vincial recreation department,
said Thursday night that many
articles had been found here.

“We need every old thing
we can get our hands on,” he
said.

His job is to furnish 115
buildings and dress 100 manne-
kins in Barkerville so they vir-
tually breathe the old gold rush

and fur trading days befween
1869 and 1885. '

Commission
to hold rate line

VICTORIA—The B.C. Power
Commission has accepted the
recommendations of the Shrum
Royal Commission with regard
to rates.

The Hon. Kenneth Kiernan,
acting chairman of the publicly-
owned utility, said today that
there will be no general increase
in BCPC rates. The Power
Commission will, however, im-
plement adjustments originally
suggested to the Shrum Com-
mission by Acting General Man-
ager R. C. MeMordie, and which
were subsequently approved by
the three-man inquiry board.

“The cnanges which will be
made are substantially those
which -will eliminate any in-
equity which may have devel-
oped over the years,” said Mr.
Kiernan. “No revisions are
being made to power, primary
power or street lighting rates.”

Elimination of the R2 and
R3 rates, and the substitution of
a single residential rate is the
major change. This will have
some effect on every residential
customer, since all will heuce-
forth be on the same rate bas:
EFFECTIVE IN JULY

The change will become effec-
tive in July and will be reflected
in electricity bills on and after
August 1. The new residential
rate is expected to encourage
greater use of major appliances.

themselves in a new rate block:
the single residential rate will
continue to apply.

Main adjustment to commer-
cial rates will result in billings
in future based upon the cus-
tomer’s maximum energy re-
quirement from month to
month rather than on the pres-
ent basis of yearly demand (ie.,
the highest demand for any one
month has been applied during
the whole year as a basis for
minimum billing). The change
will be particularly welcomed by
those motels and resorts which
use large amounts of power in
the summer months, little in
the winter.
