he Oshawa Fimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, MAY 33, Price Of Progress Seen 1965 -- PAGE 4 In Increased Tax Bills The price of progress and expan- sion, especially when it comes with the rapid onset which has been the case in Oshawa, can be heavy in terms of dollars-and cents. Readers who have written to The Times in recent weeks deploring the in- creases in their tax burdens, .and particularly have referred to the growing costs of . education, feel that they have the right to be criti- cal with the members of the elected bodies which in the final analysis fix the tax rate. Rapid growth of a city places a great strain on its financial resources, and places heavy burdens on the property taxpayers. That has certainly been the case in Osh- awa. The almost phenomenal in- creases in population have broug' ht always needs for new schools at various levels far beyond anything that might have been anticipated 20 years ago These schoo] needs must be met. Children must be educated. Those who are most anxious that high educational standards be maintain- ed and adequate and well-equipped achools provided are the parents of the children who have to attend U.K.Adopts MetricSystem The decision of the British gov- ernment to make a gradual conver- sion to the metric system of weights and measures over a period of 10 years is a sign that Britain is look- ing ahead to closer economic and trade integration with the countries ef Europe. The metric system is universal in European Britain alone has resisted its adop- tion, and that resistance has lasted for nearly 2000 years The present British aystem of weights and measures came into be- ing during the period of the Roman eccupation at the beginning of the Christian era. It measured dis- tances in inches, feet, yards and miles, weights in drams, ounces, pounds, atones and tons, and liquids were measures in pints, quarts and gallons. Now that is all to be changed.
