- -- - --~ -~ -- - w-- ~ ORONO WEEKLI ORONO WEEKLY TIMES Authoiized -as ecn Cas aiPost OfficeDpafnl, (Yttawa. Establiihed in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester- Editor and Maneger Orïono To Watch ithý" I nterest The planned July meeting Of Provicial and Federal representatives in Ottawa rnay -have somne effect on the tax rate for municipal water in ýOrono. The meeting whichi s ta ha ield later this monti between tie ten provinces and the FederalGoverument will discuss the $400 million boan fuud whici bas corne under f ire especially from the Province of Quebec. The Orono Police Trustees have made contact wîth the faderai goverament on makiug use of tVisls an and the 25 percent grant that is ta be given for municipal projects. As yet the Board of Trustees have rcceived no information on tie working of the fund and its application lu respect to the installation of water la Orono. This is understandable at the present tirne as the fund is under discussion. It appears that tie objection ta the fund, which bas been instituted by the Federal Govemnment, stems from the dlaim that suc an undertaking infringas on Provincial rights and the Province of Quebec appears ta feel tiat the Province siould disperse fils sum and be given a greater portion of the fax doll ar collected ai the Federal level. Legally we 'would be at a losa ta dîscuss this .part of the administration between the two governments. However in the case af the individual taxpayer in Or- ana. a saviag is a saviug no matter fram where if cornes. If a free -grant of twenty-five percent is planned for rnunici4pal prajects through the use oftfils fund tien Orano should laich on and pass the advantage on ta the property owners in tia Village. Twenty-five percent of $175,000.00 is a considerable, amount. If is ta be hoped that clarification and implementation of the fund is brought forth immediately after the July meeting ln Ottawa. The local taxpayar is mare interested in a rate for water fiat bas' been eut by 25% than wiefher or naf it infringes on Provincial rghts. In the case of education the Provincial and the Federal Govrnments have worked band-mn-baud wlth bath parties. providing sums of maney for the construction of Voc.tional Schaols. The sarne bas been true in fie winters works pro- grains. No conf ief bls arisen here. There seems ta be littie doiübt the problem rests with Premier Lasage who is under the stress of separatism ta a degrea and who is revolutianizing bis governiment in Quebec. The plan of programin l Orono Is- 1963 and the July meeting could very well be a windiall for the Village or a d1sappontment. Cleciner Maini Street During the past two weeks we hav'e heard a number of complaints on the appearance of, the Main Street of lhe Vil- lage witiin tie busines area. Criticism rested wit'h tie amount of garibage, litter, dirt and wrhat-have-you on the street. At times one cauld ual dispute the daim that the main business area is a cluter of litter and dirt. The appearance :s unsightly and surely not conducisive ta good business prac- tices for the individual businessman. Ia comparisan ta ailier centres one must judge Omano silipping. Where is aur pride. Tie residential areasai the Village are certainly one oifie neatest la lie district but th business area is falling be- hind. Some dlean their street every day and these business establishes are suffering f rom lie lack of interest on lie part of others. It wQuld take little effort if every played their part lu keeping lie business section dlean. There 15 alsa garbage pick-up in the area every Tusday, so why not use t. OTHER EDITORSI OPINIONS A DICTATORSHIP 'me Ontario goverument bas restrictions on fia amount -of tobacco anyone can grow in the province, and Vils ediet wve feel is somewhat of a dictatorship. It rigit ha eased somewhat, howevar, firaugh fia action of Tam Jackýson, a former reeve af Cooksville, wba 'feels tiat anyone glhould be able fa grow anything tÉey. like on their own property, and if il daesn't grow or can't be sold, il is just lie property owner's lass.
