PAGE FOUR TEE CM#ADIAK STATEUMAIi, EOWMM<VULE~, ONTAIIO TmTRSDAT. APRIL ?th ion-' EDITORIALS T axpayer Can't Win e Mayor Wilfrid Carruthers of Bow- mnanville on Monday night joined with many other municipal heads in this province in decrying the recent changes i provincial grants for secondary education. Well he might, because this year and in the foreseeable future, tax- payers in this ares vil1 be suffering considerably from this new system which vas supposed ta provide a more equitable arrangement. The Mayor pointed out that wheri the Durham County High School Dist- rict was formed in 1951, the total pro- vincial grants amounted to about 70%7 of total expenditures. This year. they will be ini the 401,- area. While the dis- trict's budget will increase by $145,000 du.ring 1960. the provincial treasury will only contribute an additional $3,000, with the balance of $142.000 ta be raised througb taxes on praperty within the eight municipalities concerned. Secondary eduication %vithiti the district will cost nearlv UO0.000 this year with a considerable increase in that amount during the next year wben the full impact of a new teachin:ý staff will be feit. This \rear. teacher's sal- aries for the newx Courtice and Mill- brook schools will only apply for a four month period. While the total assessrnent for this ares bas aiso increased considerably. indicating that more taxes would be raised even by the same miii rates. the blaw wil stili be an extrernely heavy one for ratepaNers. Those renting pro- perties will not be hit so bard because landiords must keep their renta corn- petitive wîth other neighboring niunici- palities. In addition, in this section of the country we have a new. expensive hospitai wîng in the plans for this year and here again the provincial govern- ment and the federai government grants have flot been increased ini proportion to the sky-rockeling cost of new con- struction. The time is rapidly approaching for some serious discussion and understsnd- ing between ail leveis of governnient in an effort 1.0 find new and more equit- able methods of taxation distribution. At the moment. the ratepayers of the municipalities are certainly bearing more than their ioad of the expenses. Yet. we can understand the problems confronting9 the senior levels as well. They too are havîng problems as evi-. denced by' the recent information that aur federa] government concluded its fiscal vear with a deficit of over $400 million. We agree entirely wîth Mayoîý Car-- ruthers in encouiraging action ta brinp [lite mati er to a head. A general study of the enfire situation should be under- taken i an effor tot determine IUst wvhere we are heading. At the moment, ail leveis of government are grabbing for more and more with the general public being prodded into demands for extra public services, not. apparently, realizing- that these services wvill have ta be .paid for hy fincrpased taxes eaci 'vear. e:SUGAR and SPICE:4 Dispumed by B5W Smiley Tookpatn a debate on opinion, it should b. taught as you can sec, wc>uld b. a,.
