The increase will vary free1 customer to customer aceerding to classification and the,411104;4. Of energy ued, The average. Will be 811 Percent. A detailed explanation of the changes is being mailed to all customers. As summer cottage customers are billed only twice a year the new rates will not opine into effect fel' these Pcinauinerts until after the bill for meter readings taken at the end of the 1968 season, A fixed amount ischarg, ed in the spring, and the fall bill is based on a meter reading taken late each summer. From time to time during the 15-year period since 1953, rela- tively minor rate adjustments have been made to meet changing conditions on the system. The last 'one was in 1966 when 173,000 customers received decreases and 165,000 small increases, Chairman George Gathercole said the increases reflect the "inflationary pressures of high- er costs on the Commission for equipment, supplies, property, salaries, wages and borrowing". Mr. Gathercole said that a va r i et y of cost-saving pro- cedures, including automated techniques, consolidation of work areas and promotional load build- ing, adopted by the Commission had enabled Hydro to hold the line on rates. "However", he said, "our rur- al system operated at a deficit last year, and an upward adjust-. ment of rates is now essential". He estimated the increases would "barely meet rising costs —but should carry us through the next two years without furth- er adjustment." Earlier this year Ontario Hydro increased its rates to municipal electrical util it i e s across the province for power supplied. • • M New manager Joe Fasullo, of Burlington, with lengthy experience in the pro- duce business has been appoint- ed sales and plant manager at 4.
