2-O)rono Weekly Times, Wednesday, September 2th, 1978 Orono Weekly Times INEQUALITY 0F TAXATION Much bas been said and printed about the inequality of taxation in the Town of Newcastle over the past number of years. 0f recent months the Town treasurer and politicians have been referring to inequalities which exist within the wards themselves frorn one property to another. This latter view cornes to light in a recent real estate advertisernent of property for sale in Orono. The house is listed for sale at a price of $48,900.00. and it is noted in the advertisement that taxes are only $318.91 for the house and property. This is far below the average tax for sucli property with a value o! around $50,000.00 in the Orono area and certainly denotes that taxes are out of line within the individual wards. Couneil is endeavouring to put a handie on bringing about equality of taxation both within the wvards and between the wards. t is to be hoped that this can corne about for the 1979 tax year. t will mean adjustments in assessed values of ail individual properties which it bas been indicated is ready to be applied if the mechanism to bring such about is found. MEN 0F COURAGE The world can certainly look up to Jirnmy Carter, president of the United States and especially to Menachem Begin, Prime Minister of Israel and Anwar Sadat, president of Egypt as men of courage. The implementation of a frame work for peace in the middle east should be beralded by al men as a great achievernent by these men of courage. Peace, no doubt, is far from being a fact but the initial steps have been made setting aside years of hostîlity, mistrust and bitter confrontation. Begin and Sadat can certainly be termed men of courage knowing full well that tbey do flot hold overal support for peace deliberations. Begin still has to face bis governrnent with the proposaIs corning out of the Mount David negotiations and Sadat could well face the rage of the Palestine Liberation organization as well as other Arab leaders in the mid east. Both rnen bave much to do in tbeir own spbere of influence as well as agreeing delicate negotiations between tbernselves. This certainly notes rnen of courage for wbich they should be appreciated and cornplirnented. Peace would appear to be upperrnost in tbeir rninds and peace in tbe mid east is a concern for everyone tbrougbout the world.

The finance committee ac- cepted the proposai on the condition that funds were availahle for the purchase o! tbe necessary equipment. The final decision is to be left witb counceil at their next meeting this corning week. E.R. Woodyard pointed out tbere were areas in Orono and Newcastle that sbould also be designated for sidewalk snow removal wbere the Town owned the property over which the sidewalk passed. t was agreed that tbis sbould be carried out as tbe cost of sidewalk removal was a cost to al residents of the Town. Woodyard said it would be more reasonable to contract sucb work out in Orono rather than transporting equipment frorn. one area to another. Council will also consider a by-law respecting tbe re- moval of snow and ice witbin the sidewalks of tbe Town. The by-law would require property owners abutting town sidewalks to have tbem cleared o! ice and snow within twelv.e bours of a storrn. Tbe by-law would also give the Town the power to have sucb work done and cbarged against the property if it were not done by the property owner.
