Hydro proposes 4.9% increase
Ontario Hydro is proposing an average in-
crease of 4.9 per cent in 1987 electricity
rates, Chairman Tom Campbell announced.
The proposal calls for an average 4.6 per
cent increase to the 316 municipal utilities
and an average 5.0 per cent hike in rates to
the approximately 100 direct industrial
customers.
"The chief factors responsible for the rate
increase are the costs associated with bring-
ing new generating facilities into service, as
well as escalating costs for fuel, labour and
materials," Campbell said.
Campbell said the proposal is a balance
between the lowest possible rate 'increase
and maintaining financial soundness.
"The increase was developed taking into
account forecasts that show an easing of
financial pressures in future years. Our pro-
posed increase for 1987 represents
reasonable steps towards providing rate
stability and an acceptable balance between
rate and financial soundness objectives,"
Campbell added.
While the proposed increase is slightly
above the expected rate of inflation, On-
tario's electricity rates remain among the
lowest in North America, Campbell said.
The complete rate proposal has been sub-
mitted to Energy Minister Vince Kerrie.
The Ontario Energy Board will begin public
hearings into the proposed increase in May.
The rate increase will be finalized in the fall
and take effect January 1, 1987.

While playing near
home on March 25, the Grade 5 student at
Clinton Public School found the tattered
yellow balloon which she soon discovered
had been launched from Lincolnwood, Il-

Householders and industries generating
small amounts of hazardous waste will have
a safe way to rid themselves of potentially
dangerous material under a new program
announced today by Environment Minister
Jim Bradley.
"Many people have had wastes like DDT
stored in their garages for years and do not
know how to get rid of them," Bradley said.
"This program should help solve that
problem."
The minister said unwanted containers of
garden pesticides, weed -killers, aerosols,
solvents, outdated pharmaceutical pro-
ducts, and paints can pose a hazard to waste
material collectors, to people living near
municipal landfill sites, and to those expos-
ed to the exhaust from incinerators.
These concerns led the Environment
Ministry to co-sponsor a "Domestic Special
Waste Day" pilot project with the Regional
Municipality of Waterloo. The interest
shown, by other communities, in the success
of that project has led to the introduction of
the new three-part program.
It includes a public awareness campaign,
funds for interested municipalities, and
technical assistance such as special pick
ups for small producers of hazardous waste.
"The Environment Ministry will make in-
formation available for distribution to
schools, public service clubs, and
households describing products that should
be disposed of with special precautions. It
will explain the acceptable disposal techni-
ques, and ways to cut down the production of
wastes too," Bradley said.
The program will also provide financial
and technical assistance to interested
municipalities in order to encourage
"Special Waste Days".
The program will co-ordinate "Special
Waste Day" pick ups from industries
generating small amounts of hazardous
waste. Small producers of hazardous waste
now often face high costs when disposing of
these materials by existing methods.
The program will be tested in several
municipalities before being expanded to the
entire province.

On a small white tag on the balloon, it said
it belonged to Ryan Geslani, a 10 -year-old
Grade 4 student at Rutledge Hall School,
6850 East Prairie Road in Lincolnwood, Il-
linois. The tag urged the finder to write back
quickly to the address.
"He's in Grade 4 and he's 10 and I'm in
Grade 5 and I'm 10 too," giggled Cai11a,
noting the coincidence in age and grades.
Carla plans to write Ryan a letter in the
near future.
