John Combes, secretary of the Bowmanville Men's Lawn Bowling Club, said in a letter to the municipality that "The assessment on the Bowmanville Lawn Bowling Club in 1978 was $545. In 1979 this was raised to $1,400." Taxes were expected to rise from approximately $100 in 1978 to in excess of $300 this year. "As we are a rather small, non-profit organization, supplying some recreation for senior citizens at nio cost to themn, we would appreciate having out taxes phased in over a five year period," the club stated. Town Treasurer Klaas De Groot said the town would have to pass a by-law to phase in property taxes and state the cases in which this program would apply. He added that the municipality has adopted a policy against programns for phasing in the assessment over a five-year period. The finance and administration committee voted to inform the Lawn Bowling Club of this policy.
