Electric Light or Electricity Inspection Stamps

Electric Light or Electricity Inspection stamps were affixed to certificates by federal government inspectors as receipts for fees paid by the public for the verification of the supply voltage and of the meters used to measure electrical consumption.

The inspection of electrical installations (wiring, outlets, service entrances, motors, transformers, etc.) was the responsibility of municipal and/or provincial authorities. Some of these authorities issued their own revenue stamps. (See Saskatchewan Power Commission.)
