Hydro rates to rise four per cent
Ontario Hydro will increase electricity per cent recently recommended by the
rates an average 4,0 per cent, effective Ontario, Energy Board but higher than
January 1, 1986, according to the utility's Hydra's original 3.6 per cent proposal
Board of Directors, ' announced in March of this year.
"After careful consideration of the OEB
recommendation, Hydro's Board of Directors
decided that Hydro should keep its rate
increases below the forecast inflation level, a
target we have set for ourselves for the
balance of this decade," Chairman Tom
Rate increases to municipal utilities will be
the lowest in 20 years, while increases to
direct industrial customers will be at the
lowest level in 14 years.
The new rate increase is lower than the 4.9
Hospitals program gets $14. Es. million
Those Ontario hospitals caring for a
growing number of people in their approved
life-support programs will get $14.9 million
from the ministry to pay for the increased
costs, Health Minister Murray Elston an-
nounced today.
"The money is from the ministry's $4.3
billion 1985-86 hospital operating costs
budget, and is in addition to funds already
allocated to the hospitals by the ministry for
these programs," Mr. Elston said.
It is really a reimbursement to these
hospitals for the increasing number of
patients being' cared for through the
following six life-support programs; renal
dialysis,, cardiovascular surgery, cancer
chemotherapy, total parenteral nutrition,
pacemaker insertions and neonatal intensive
care."
Hospitals designated as transplantation
centres -are also being reimbursed for the cost
of the drug Cyclosoonn. when used in orean
transplants,. which are financed through
life-support progatms.
Life-support funding is based on recom-
mendations by a tripartite committee, made
up . of representatives from the Ontario
Hospital Association, the Ontario Council of
Administrators of Teaching Hospitals and the
ministry.
Two principles apply to the funding. First,
only hospitals with a proven volume pf growth
in life-support patients, exceeding that for
last year, will receive their share of the
allocation now.
Second, for volume increases incurred in
the current year, hospitals will receive their
allocation after they have assured the
ministry, through statistical information and
assessment, that the projected volume of
growth will be achieved. Funds for these
anticipated• growth volumes have been set
aside.
Campbell said.
"Since we made our initial forecast in
January, the outlook fbr revenues and costs is
less favourable, so a 1986 rate increase
slightly higher than previously predicted is
required. However, we believe an increase of
4.0 per cent instead of the 4.9 per cent
recommended by the Ontario Energy Board
will help the economy and be more
responsive to customer needs," he added.
"Hydro's Board was aware that many of
our customers have been living with price and
wage increases lower than inflation and we
feel•a particular responsibility to them."
In arriving at its recommendation the OEB
emphasized the need for a higher level of net
income& which would have the effect of
movingly Hydro more quickly toward its
financial targets. However, Hydro believes
that its 1986 revenues will be adequate to
Group prepares
A number of decisions were made at a
recent meeting of the Ladies Aid of the First
Presbyterian Church in Seaforth,
Among them, the nominating committee
was instructed to look after getting a slate of
officers ready for 1986; Edith McMillan and
Jean Keyes were elected to look after getting
something together for the Christmas concert.
Dorothy Scott and W inn McLean were
nominated to look after the December
meeting and the society was asked to look
meet the interest charges on its debt and to
meet its debt repayment plans.
The increase will also reduce the propor-
tion of Hydro's assets that are debt financed,
continuing a trend that has been underway
since 1982. Hydro expects this trend to
continue into the future as further progress
towards its financial targets is achieved.
The average increase to Ontario's 316
municipal utilities will be 4.0 per cent, and to
the 103 large industrial customers 4.3 per
cent. The increase to individual utilities and
industrial customers will vary depending on
local use and supply conditions.
Hydro's 800,000 rural retail customers will
receive increases averaging 3.8 per cent
which includes the effect of rural rate
assistance. The increase will also vary from
customer to customer depending on classifi-
cation and use.

Local busing
business sold
The Seaforth United Trails bus lines,
operated here by the Habkirk family since the
late 1940s, has been purchased by Murphy
Bus Lines, which operates bus depots in
Clinton, Arva, St. Marys and Lucan,
Murphys took, over the operation of 16
United Trails buses in Huron County as of
November 7. Sherwood Express, which
operates out of Stratford and Goderich,
assumed some of the United routes in Perth
County, but was not involved in the buy out,
said Mike Murphy, of Murphy Bus lines.
While the takeover may necessitate some
minor operational changes, Mr. Murphy said
his company will continue to operate a bus
depot in Seaforth. The location of the depot
may change at some time, as the present
building is owned by the Hakbirks and not by
United Trails,
"W a plan to run it as an independent
operation that we won't be closing. There will
definitely be a facility in the area," said Mr.
Murphy
Mr, Murphy said former owner les
Habkirk will remain • involved with the
business during a transition period, "but, not
on a long term basis,"
