the board board is responsible for establishing its budget but not for the apportioning of costs to municipalities or the decrease in provincial grant earlier a copy of a resolution from sillfleet township had been read calling for governmental revision of the educational gran structure to avoid general rejection of educational budgets by municipal councils and the not being paid lie said but

deterred council from consulting parks board but felt the board wai getting a fair sliare of the budget chairman alierne agreed but tlressed ihe board cant let council keep wallcingnvcr ui he said the hoard was appointed to do a job and if it cant do it there is no sense coming down here resultant fiscal paralysis nassagaweya ha also received a copy of correspondence from esquesing township to education minister davis protesting amounts and division of ihe education levy in ifalton the saltfleel motion seeking endorsement of each municipality in ontario was endorsed by councd following lengthy rjiscussion of the hallon board budget particularly nassagaweya crippling share it was agreed the majority of the problem wat as a result of provincial tegjsutlon and grant structure we would like to ul down with each and every ratepayer and explain our position wen ola i possible chairman atmilag tlajed then it woold be clear we really have little control over the sharp education lax increases to ihe rural resident later reconvened the nassagaweya council agreed lo accept ihelr jj11725 1969 allocation bul sent a copy of a motion lo minister of education djvh v tttc motion protected ihe increase tax burden brought on by grant reduction and called for introduction of a new grant system by the provincial government as well as direction from the department to school boards calling for more prudence in budgeting esquesing farmers hit hard by increase a minority of ratepayers in i squeslng are being adversely cted the provinces apportioning tqi affected by method of municipal colli for education trustee william lawson declared this week lie pointed out that lait year the department recognized i squesings ability lo pay for education and nude grants of 55 fier cent this year the eparlmenl looks at ihe whole county and pays only 47 per cent of the cost agriculture which nukes up only 17 per cent of he townships assessment is ihe minority adversely affected where education costs this year will he more than ihe total lax last year the trustee emphasized in a letter to the minister of lducation i squesjng township council protests not only ihe amount but the diviuon of ihe proposed levy of ihe hatton county board of lducation the teller protests that the method of ditlrihullon of cottt uilng the provincial equalizing factor imtead of ihe county equalization bylaw hat resulted in an increase in ihe levy for education from i squesing of 32 67 per cent this is particularly hard on the farmers in lie township in spile of the socalled urban sprawl 17 per cent of our assessment is still farm assessments it would seem that the purpose of this act was to drive the farmers off ihe land and to make it easier for ihe speculators who have been moving in i ximples of ihe effect of ihe education levy on farms of 100 acres of 200 acres 100 acres and residential lots were cited the example of a 100 acre farm showed the 1969 education tax of 21 10 13 was up by j 145 r5 over ihe total 1968 levy for all purposes of si7k4 28 a 200 acre farm was indicated with education lax this year of si 221 11 compared last years total levy of 1 247 r6 as you can see from these tables the farms in i squesing township are going to take a terrific healing because even with ihe most rigid economy on lire part of ihe council these farms are going lo he taxed from s500 lo 1000 more than they were lait year and last years taxes were by no means cheap in ihe long run it will mean that ihe farmers will have to sell out and go somewhere else and the political
