In cases where the down pay- ment is 40% or more of the sale price then the sale could be taken at face. value. - The local assessments have not' been' taken into account other than to | obtain a total assessment and Reeve Goodwin suggested that the local as. sessment in each case should be given some importance and averaged' with the sales analysis and spot check factors. - PARKS--Chajrman Goodwin report- ed' that Miss Muir had commenced work as playground supervisor in Willow Park this morning with 73 childrén in atterdance, Off Motion at 11.29 p.m. the hour 'of adjournment was extended to allow the passing of By-Law No. 1887.

"The municipalities participat- ing in this program will be able to borrow money from the Mun- icipnl Development and Loan Fund which has yet to be set up. Some difficulty is being exper- ienced with the legislation as a result of the protests put for- ward by Premier Lesage of Que. who charges that this legislation infringes upen provinelal juris- diction. The outstanding modification is the increased Federal payment on new municipal buildings from $50,000 to $100,000 for each struc- ture. The purpose of this is to encourage municipalities to carry out more work on larger build- ings under this program during the winter months. Federal financial participation under this program has been 509% of the payroll costs. It is now modified to the extent that some municipalities may be able to re- ceive 60% of the payroll costs if they are located in an area in which there has been a high level of unemployment and a slow rate of economic growth. These areas will be designated at a later date. Dymond Discusses Health in Ontario Flies and. Insects -- Get Rid: of Them Matthew B. Dymond, MD, CM. Ontario Minister of Health ground.

Queen's Park, Toronto. 2 When this program was initi- ated, while I was Minister of Labour, it was initially author- ized for a 6% month period, and then was subsequently extended yearly to include the month of May. In othér words, the program ran from October 15 to May 30. The present Government proposes to cut this period down to six months, commencing November | and ending April 30. The Government emphasizes the tact that it does not intend to stretch out this program by an additional month next spring, as has been, the case In the past years. The reason why it was extended to the end of May in the past was because of the experience of certain municipalities located in areas where they were unable to proceed with any type of work during the winter months, and consequently they were unable to participate in the program. The additional month gave them this opportunity. Now the Government osing that this done away with. is prop- extra month be There is no question in my mind but that prior to April 30 the municipalities of Canada wil be hammering away at the door of the Government, requesting and demanding that this program be extended to the end of May. This program has been a worth- while one in that it gave work to those who were seasonally unem- of Many Things by Ambrose Hills THE GUESSING GAME Just as long as governments play such a large part in our lives, Canadians must indulge in 4 costly guessing game before each federal and provincial bud- get. With a stroke of the pen, for example, Mr. Gordon increased the price of old homes about 59, and the cost of new ones by u similar amount. The guessing game 15 a dif- ficult one. Why did Mr. Gordon choose building material, for ex- ample? One might have thought that food, clothing, and shelter would be among the last things eyed for tax exploitation. If you bought a house before the budget came out, vou did a fine stroke of business; if you put it off, vou lost plenty. However, it might have been automobiles, or yachts, or shoes, or something else. There is no telling where the tax axe is going to fall. The only escape from indis- criminate taxation is to persuade governments to spend less; and to spend what they do more ef- ficiently and effectively. Tor when governments spend, they must tax in the same degree. The money must come from the people; and the old notion that it is paid only by the rich, or even chiefly by the rich, has now heen dispelled. Taxes enter the structure and we all pay. The real time to do your guess price ployed during the winter months. While the Government is mak- ing .statenients to the effect that they are putting forward meas-| ures to stimulate and expand the economy, the curtailment of the municipal winter works program! does not bear this out and I would be very much surprised if this program is.as successful as it has been in the past winters.
