j georgetown herald puhawsecf by aetna newspaper limited 22 aaaln street south georgetown ontario w c itthn publisher page thursday may 16th 1968 editorial comment complicated refund while the provincial rohindto tome owners- h welcome relief frorh crippling municipal taxation me form in which rate- payers will receive fhli llunlque to say the feast r we agree with the idea of showing it sep afotery dn the tax bill are deduction t in georgetown v case rhisls a flat 5468 which is arrived at by a somewhat compli cated procedure whereby the province as sumes some of the tax bill on the first 2000 ofassessed value showing this separately can act as a restraining influence on town fathers who if the money was just sent to them could be more inclined to absorb it into the tax rete and spend it on some extras what is open to some crltidtro i the role that a landlord must refund this whole amount to a tenant of ranted property the assumption is that the rental value is basod on among other factors the year ly tax bill for the property and in most oases the assumption is a fair one however there ere meny other factors which enter the picture one being that of landlord who because he knows he has gc jenents haslet his taxb4ll jncrease every year or two while holding the rental fee at the former rale such a person will not be inclined to pay outrhe fiftyodd dol- ers willingly we ara as yet unfamiliar with- the governments legislation but unless there is a clause pervalliinf the lendlords who raise the rent by a compensating amount then the tenant will derive no benefit at all in fact he might suffer an extra bile be cause if the rent js reised it will probably be an even amount monthly and this could be somewhat more than the 5468 received by the landlord unless the goverrifrient is ready to em bark on a rent control policy similar to that which existed in wartime then there is nothing to stop any rent increase and we can hardly expect tthe landlords not to want to pocket the extra money on the other hand this is a first stop to revising the municipal tax structure to a more equitable base than at present where the property owner is assessed a heavy bur- len which would be more fairly allocated on en income basis one of a series assessment mill rates and municipal taxes v by martha bilr qorgtown aiaumnt commitslofwr ok mr bftln ao my assess ment is

buying nominations attention to an unusual and unwanted political manouevre by aspirants for some of ontarios liberal seals was drawn by scott young in his globe and riall column on monday it shocked us according to mr young nominations t some of the nominating conventions were bought and paid for in cash a candidate would buy constituency memberships and voting rights for arvybody who will turn out and vole the right way according to far young all a man needs he says is enough money and enough bodies available to pack a convention a little tighter than it is being packed by his opponents and he is in ho is severely critical particularly be cause not all the voters even live- in the could lead to a rentavote organization uro constituency and he surmized this nothing to do the old story nothing to do in geor getown must be wrong the pitiful handful of people who at tended fridays performance of a first rate tittle theatre play belied this old chestnut when less than fifty people attend such a presentation it must mean that several thousand othor residents have something to do if not in georgetown then some where ejse the pity of it is that georgetowns lit tle theatre group is a superior one in every department their quality of acting of cos tuming of set design is professional in ev ery way they choose excellent plays many of which were broadway hits in their day tnd they lavish every attention to make it something worth seeing which for a fee could supply voters in packaged lots anywhere in the province the fact that voters at a nominating meeting need not be of legal voting age and that some of these are as mr young calls them teenyboppers makes the situ ation even more odd surely a voting del egate should be required to be able to vole for his nominee when the actual election tak place one thing we could tell mr young is that there is nothing new under the sun and in depression days in a least one on tario riding the same thing was rumoured to have happened we were a windsor school boy then and it was common talk around high school that a liberal aspirant who later served with distinction in provin rial politics and than in a higher field of service had encouraged some of the high school crowd to attend his meoting and push his candidacy thunder rock was considered good enough to be included in the high school english course a few years back and when it played at the crest theatre some of the students went by bus to see the show yet in georgetown it was a hop at tendancewise w hope the liltle theatre will not be discouraged and will tackle next season with the same enthusiasm w hope even more that georgetown people will realize they have an entertainment treasure right on their doorstep and will tear themselves away from tv for an evening to enjoy live theatre at its best if all the people who keep saying why dont we have a movie thealra here tur ned out the sro sign would be up every night in the high school auditorium tb association
