A good many old-timers have been eliminated by death or defeat at the polls during the last two years. Of the present membership Represen- tative Ashton C. braska first went to Congress earlier than any other member of either house, having taken office in 1901, His service has not been continuous, however, and totals only 16 years. any other member, since 1902. has been in the Senate.

A recent statement by T. Lyon, chairman of the government power Stewart | commission, showed that the average cost | of power delivered in Toronto had in- creased from $21.28 per horsepower in 1980 to $30.08 in 1933. Also, the reserve fund to the credit of the commission was reduced from $14,629,578 in 1931 to ap- proximately $6,500,000 at present, a loss for tHe period of more than eight million dollars, In 1938, Mr. Lyon said, power con- | sumers of Toronto alone got their power for $825,000 le ment to deliver it, When, as is by no means uncommon, a public-owned utility is operated at a loss, such as that shown by the Ontario system, the deficit is made up, of course, by taxa- | tion. Thus, although the consumer's power bill may be low, the public pays the loss through increased tax bills. There is no magic in public ownership whereby the people may get something for nothing.
