The Tory canidate was 'ynable to say when any distinct assessment scheme would be implemented, but at least one municipality in Durham requested a special "study of tax assessment... something that has bolster- ed government trends toward revision of - the system. -New Democrat candidate All "McPhail called the tax problems faced by Ontario . municipalities "a funda- mental problem' since the PC government, if elected , with a majority, would be ~ the body to make a decision on tax assessment for the next four years. "Fortuitously," said McPhail, .the Pcs are also the ones who have governed for some time and "accumulated the debts. . He told the crowd that the best way to ensure a little sensitivity in government : was to make sure that a PC "majority wasn't returned to rule. Asked by another can help you drive a shrewd bargain.

He told the crowd that Hydro has sought a 30 per- cent raise in rates but a joint-party commission has recommended 24.5 percent rate hike. "Basically we had to bite the 'bullet," said Newman, because: Ontario needs the power and by 'approving a 28 percent raise the govern- ment felt it could cushion the shock of the next raise that will be sought by Hydro. : Liberal candidate Liz Catty contended 'that the raise could have been held lower by cutting some Hydro frills such as the new " headquarters in Toronto.
