TORONTO - Ontario *Hydro's
electrical inspection fccs will be
increased by 10 percent starting
October 1, 1988. The increase is
the first in three years.
"Fees for our electrical inspec-
tion service have not been raised
since January 1985," said llydro's
Manager of Electrical lnspection,
Jack Dicker. "'Hydro has been able
to postpone fcc increases • since
then because of improved produc-
tivity: The 10 percr.nt increase this
year Will allow us to improve ser
vice and mcct rising costs due to
inflation."
The new fees affect inspections
for all residential, commercial and
industrial installations. The cost to
inspect a typical single family resi-
dence will go up about 56.00 td

Dicker said. "Inspection is neces-
sary to ensure the safety of the
