RESULT 0F LETTER The furor over the tax hike actually grew in response to a letter to the editor of the Newcastle Reporter written by Ron Moreland of RR. 2, Newcastle in early Septem- ber. His own tax bill bad increased 50 percent over the 1975 figure. Following b is lead, other taxpayers in the municipality jumped on the bandwagon and began a door-to-door cam- paign enlisting sigiiatures for the letter to Mr. Moffatt. Mr. Moreland, who bas lived in the Newcastle area for six years, stated on Monday that the petitioners "are really upset with local politicians over the tax increase" and addressed the protest to Mr. Moffatt because "be is a real fighter." According to Mr. Moreland, the residents who signed the letter don't necessarily want to bave the services which are outlined in the protest, but are concerned about it because they are paying for them witbout receiving them. Lot Levy (From Page One) senior citizens will be $500 per unit, according to the new by-law. The by-law also explains bow the levy funds will be used. It says that the town can't inters use the money for normal day and a to day expenses but the money, is to be placed in a fund that York will be used for administration ,rsue buildings, furnishings and ýong a equipment, public works and es "Iother community facilities." Close Decision But, the vote to adopt the lot ýr Park levy by-law was a close one, the$5 witb four councillors support- iprize ing it and three opposed. Flamp- On a recorded vote, Council- î29726 lors Cowman, Entwisle and ýght, 14 Lyall stood against the levies, an 'ville arguing that they were too as the bigh, too late, unfair, and likely to encourage the muni- ottery cipality to spend money. ýctober Counillors Tink, Hobbs and a,î es Allin voted for the by-law, SUE along witb Mayor Garnet ICKET Rickard. Arguments used in NEXT favor of lot levies centered $1500 aroundrelief for tax payers. Councillor Lyall spoke first on the lot levy issue, arguing that it was the wrong time for levies. He said that we are now on the tail end of a construction boom and that the lot levies would have made sense 10 years ago, when the boom was beginning, but not now.He also maintained that a lot levy fund would encourage the municipality to spend illor, more moiney because it would ýk that borrow rmoney to boost the lot îother Ievy fum n imidertake large local projects such as a town hall.

"Operation Service" is a campaign aimed at making contact with every war veteran and ex-service, or their dependents and survivors, to make sure that tbey are fully aware of their rights and privileges under the Veterans Charter. If you, or yours, fit into any of the above categories, be prepared to welcome the volunteer Legion visitor when he or she calîs at your door. If you believe that you may have an entitiement to some benefit or service, read and complete the questionn aire the Legion visitor will give you, wbich wilI expend the minimum time on each visit. This will assist in assessing your possible dlaim and the completion of the report form. When the operation service volunteer'calîs, and finds no-one home, a householder card'will be left together witb a report form. On the reverse side of the report form, an outline of veterans and dependents benefits is shown, and if applicable, the form sbould be completed and returned to the local brancb of the Royal Canadian Legion. The Legion volu.nteers wisb to serve you and Canada through "Operation Service". t is known that thousands of Canadians have entitlements of which they are not totally aware. This coast-to-coast campaign is being made in recognition of the Royal Canadian Legion's Anniversary Year 1926-1976. The chairman of "Operation Service" for this area is: - 'Stan L. Dunn, 26 Lambs Lane, Bowmanville, Ont. Dial 623-5769. See the advertisement in this issue for details. that would allow bouses to be buit near Orono. "You supported this and yet vou're talkine of freezing development, Mayor Rickard- s aid. "To support that' kind of development is a complete flip=flop. " No Flip Flop Hlowever,, the councuflor replied tlhat the development in Orono was a different matter. He said he had supported it because it had been proposed before "this outfit (the Region), was born. I haven't changed, 1 haven't flip flopped," he said. At this point, Councillor Entwisle objected to the dialogue between Mayor Rickard and Councillor Lyall and he called for the vote. Councillor Entwisle had said earlier in the meeting that the lot levy charges were too high. He said it was his understanding that they would apply to a farmer who wished to sever land from his farm. ,On this point, Councillor Tînk disagreed. He said there would be no lot'levy unless a building was built. Councillor Cowman ques- tioned the right of present tax-payers to avoid lot levies while newcomers would have to pay and she suggested that the town was "pulling up the ladder" for newcomers. Councillor Don Allîn said that the money raised through lot levies would otherwise have to be raised through taxes and he said "we have enough complaints about taxes now. " He suggested that levies were the only solution. To Queen's Park During the faîl term of the legislature, Mr. Moffat in- tends to take the case to the provincial government, speci- fically Ontario Treasurer Darcy McKeough, who earlier this year tried to prove that regional government was less costly than county govern- ment. The M.P.P. from Durham East contends, however, that wben tax assessments from across the province are examined, in every case regional government was more expensive on a per capita basis than the county system. Mr. Moffatt also hopes to hold discussions with botb the municipal and regional coun- cils about the tax situation. He believes that by reducing the duplication in services offered by both of these levels of government (for example, in planning and works depart- ments) that steps can be taken toward holding the line on taxes. He also suggests that ser- vices-should not be extended unless a proven need for them is present.
