Should Be Area by Doug Taylor In order to permit town treasurer Joe Descent to proceed with setting the 1976 tax rate. council's finance committee April 26 resolved ta have ail charges from the region for garbage disposai prior ta June .11 1976, area rated. The resolution followed yet another lengthy debate over the long standing problem of where ta charge the costs relating ta the three separate sites in the Town of Newcastle. The main site is the region- ally operated Darlington site in the north end of the former township whiie operation of the Couch site for Newcastle village and the Hale site for Clarke-Orono have continued. The treasurer advised the commîttee meeting that he couid go no further until the matter of either area rating or general rating over the whole municipaiity was resolved. .He explained that Clarke, Newcastle and Orono were general rated in 1974 which meaht that residents in Bow- manville were paying for their own locally charged pickup service plus part of the disposai cost for others. 0f course, Bowmanville resi- dents aiso pay tbrough a general rate for the Darling- ton site. Chairman of the finance committee, Coun. Ken Lyall suggested that general rating of the costs for the Hale and Couch sites seems ta be the only, way, foliowed by getting the two of them out of it and dumping ail garbage from the town at the Darlington site. It was then recalled that a resolution of council has already gone ta the region recommending that the Hale and Couch sites be left as private operations. That would mean those using them would pay for dumping there ta the owner and it would no longer have anything ta do with the municipality. Coun. Kirk Entwisle recom- mended that the 'uitimate solution would be ta have no charge for dumping at the Darlington site for either the public or private pickup service. At present, those having their garbage removed by a private service pay the operator for that service, plus F THIS WEEKS FORD MENU at MACDONALDSU Granada 2 -Door' Plus: Preparation & Delivéry inspection freight tax & license.

Entwisle believed that if the private disposai- services did not have ta pay for dumping at the site they could pass on the saving by cheaper rates to their custom- ers. Mayor Riekard, however, foresees such a recommen- dation would cause more dumping at the Darlington site than at the other two sites which would fi it faster and require a new site that much sooner. The mayor additionally noted that he cari sec a real problem ahead in obtaining disposai sites when plans are calling for doubling of the population, while recycling waste for the present appears too costly. Coun. Lyall indicated that du,ýr ing last-Thutrsdayt's - road tour of the town he saw numerous sites which would f ulf iii the disposai needs., He added, however, that these wili prove sufficient if the matter is left to us localiy, R-ated but fears that With places like Toronto running out of sites, there could be a problem. Coun. Lyall reiterated his attack on increases in costs since formation of the region. He suggested that with charges up by 100 per cent since the start, "we send them enough to buy a new site each year." With Cotin. Entwisle's motion for ail charges prior ta June 1, 1976 to be area rated adopted, Mayor Rickard tnoved ail other matters related to the garbage situ- ation be tabled until a study by the region is compieted and presented. Coun. Entwisle, in addition, had moved that the committee recommend, through council, to the region that the Darling- ton site be free for ail household gar'bage collected in the municipality either publicly or privately and that ahl charges after June 1, 1976, be general rated for all three sites. Coun. LIIvl Critical of, Libraries $40eOOO ThreeYears Increaseýs Councilior Kenneth Lyal issued a news release over the weekend concerning Library costs in the Town, of New- castle. "Last week, the local press ran a story about my attitude concerning Town Libraîiy spending under the headiine "Lyall Claims Library Board Spends Toa Much. "Nat wishing the people of the Town of Newcastle ta believe that I arn a popoff - here are the facts and figures about Library costs in this area -- before and after Regional Government." According ta Mr.,Lyall, the total expenditure of tax dollars in the district amount- cd ta $53,388 in 1972, two years before Regionai Government. 0f this 1972 total of $52,388, the former Town of Bowman- ville spent $37,565 for Library services. The former Town- ship of Clarke spent $12,823 and the former Village of Newcastle spent $2,000. These figures were taken fram the financial statements of the municipalities for that year. Darlington Township, accarding ta its statement' spent nathing for Libraries. In 1973, the last year of pre- Regianal Government, the total area expenditure for Library services amounted ta $46,646. Bowmanvilie went for $33,250, Clarke $10,996, Newv- castle Village $2,400 for the total of $46,646. Again nothing showed in the Darlingfon statement for Library expend- itures. Then along came Regionai Government in 1974 and the Town of Newcastle expend- itures for Library services increased ta $58,265. In i975 Library costs went up again this time ta $83,265. "The present Town budget indicates plans ta spend $86,800 for Libraries for the coming year", Mr. Lyall said. According ta Councillor Lyali in 1973, the final year's Library costs when the area had the four communities of Bowmanville, Newcastle'Vil- lage, Clarke Township and Darfington was $46,646. The 1976 Budget figures indicate a spendîng of $86,800 -- a hike in tax dollar spending for Li- braries in three years amount- ing ta $40,154. "This increase of $40,154 in three years occasioned my remarks at the Town Hall meeting ta the effect that the Library Board is spending taa much and "how long can the creases and the other in- creases germaine ta Regionai Government? " "No one has ta point out ta me the value of aur Library system as I am a book person, but aur Library system, like many other facets of Regionai Government have gone tao far -- tao fast. We can not have aur cake and eat it too -- we can not have equitable taxes and high municipal spending at the same time.- "The Town is spending too many of its residents' tax dollars on its Library services, and a rail back in Library- costs is calied for," Councillor' Lyahl conchuded.
