South Pickering, originaily an unplanneci, commun- ity is reported as labouring -un, der an aimostintolerabie tax bur- den, while Bramalea, a planned community with a 60-40 ratio of residentiai - industrial assessnient has a relativeiy 10w tax ievy. Planning experts point to the character of our society, as one of the underiying reasons for sub- division control. In 1901, they tel us, Ontario's economy was pre- doninantiy, agriculture with 71% of thie population engaged in f arm- ing. To-day, less than 12% of the population are armers. The re-' mnainder are either urbani or rural' non farmn. Thlu, change in the character of the poýu1ation has resulted in the spread of rural non-f arm or urbaàn resddential development in rural, municipalities. The asse2ssment. on. this type of developmient, we areJ advised, does not provide suffici- ent tax revenue to pay for the &s1ervices demanded uniess t-he de- velopmient takes place in areas of densîty, close to established ser- vices. By allowing scý,,attere.d resident- il, non-farim developmnent, auth- oiisinformi us, the following situations develop. A study of oui own local mnunicipality should tell u-,: whether the informnation is true or not and if true, whether such developinent isgood or bad. (1) The loss in tax revenue re- sulting fromn urban sprawl in rur- al areas bas to be paid for by farmers and other rural taxpayers (2) rban developuient, spread- ing along highways and main ronds,' reduces the ýefficiency of the-4e arteries, and results in the establisýhment of reduced speed zones and creates traffic hazards. (3) The haphazard develop- nMent of ixed residential and o>ther uses frorn towns, mari the landscapc, devaluate adjacent properties,, and Iack adequate standarisý of services. - (4) Isolated urban houses, or clusters of hous-,es, located with- out order,, a coniderable distance frim urban centres where stand- ards of water, c.ewage and other services would bie available. (5) A municipality becoming a domiciliary aiea for an adjacent industrial community with the former unable to benefit from the Zindustrial a4sessment of the latter but often burdened with increased welfare eosts. (6) Demand on the part of ur- ban type dwellers for higher standards of facilities and seorvic- es includinig: electric power, year- round roads, good educatioinal fac- ilities, a satisfactory dlonestic wat- er supply free froin pollution, ef- fective disposai of, dorestie wastes incluiding garbage, reliable and in- dividual telephone service, prompt delivery service for mail, milk etc. good recreaqtionail facilities, coin- munity religious and cultural f ne- ilitiies, shopping and related ser- vices. The coet of these, it is argued, are affected bydistance and in a sprawling deveiopment, the in- creased cost is refiected in higlier taxes.
