Local voters follow provincial trend Continued from page 1 evenly split 49.8 per cent in favor, 49.5 per cent opposed to the deal. The slight Yes-side lead was sparked by the Greater Metro Toronto Area's support for the accord. Throughout the area sur- rounding Toronto polls had the Yes side slightly in front. In Halton Region, the Milton- Oakville riding more than 72,000 cast their ballots with 59.4 per cent in favor of the accord and 40.0 per cent opposed.

Now, we have to find out how to put it back,” Bird said. He also warned that any gains achieved by Burlington through implementa- tion of the new tax system will be “short-lived.” While there’ll be a tax shift of $4 million from Burlington to Oakville if the system goes ahead next year, Bird predicted Burlington won’t fare as well when MVA is based on 1992 market val- ues in four years’ time. If the new system is adopted for the 1993 taxation year, it will be based on 1988 market values.

Bonnette said 68 per cent of all industries in Halton Hills will see a tax increase if MVA is implement- ed. In addition, 86 per cent of all Acton homeowners will face a moderate tax increase under the new system. Bonnette said he favors deferral of MVA for “another year or two” until its have been Halton ‘Hills.

Another man reflected that “I thought the yes might have been a little higher.” Halton-Peel results: GRAM'S POUTING CHAIR Measures 24" high, 13" wide, 12" deep.
