Bowmanville, November 3,1882 9 Bowmanville Couple Celebrates 50th Anniversary LETTER TO THE EDITOR November 1st, 1982 Alan Tibbies 166 Simpson Avenue Bowmanville 623-4348 Dear Mr. James: In 1974, the gross taxable levy for the Town of Newcastle Newcastle was 30.2 million dollars, of which 6.2 million was classified as industrial. This represents 20.52 percent. This year the gross levy was 1 39.1 million, of which 7.9 million was industrial. A percentage of 20.2. Therefore in nine years we have seen absolutely no increase in industrial assessments, assessments, taken against the tax base as a whole. But then little else has grown in this town over that period, especially in the areas of public facilities and services. What has been achieved was largely through public initiative, and not as a result of efficient town management, Council policy or long-range planning. I am sure that current Council members would agree that the recognised key to growth in a local community is a healthy ratio between personal and industrial assessments. So, why has Newcastle's performance in this area been so dismal over the past decade? The blame must surely fall on the shoulders of the Councils which have served us during that period. Next year, the Town will have an annual expenditure in excess of 20 million dollars. The candidates in the upcoming upcoming election are applying for positions which, if the Town were a commercial company, would be equal to that of Vice-Presidents, collectively responsible for the profitability profitability of such a company. We the voters must consider whether these individuals, in other circumstances, could be entrusted with the administration administration of a 20 million dollar concern. In my view we have a capable and competent leader. But I have grave doubts about the calibre of many of the candidates in this election, and I am concerned that Council's poor record v.'ill continue as a result of this. The only way we as a community will rectify Newcastles' problems is for us to become more aware and informed of the Town's affaors, and for new blood to be encouraged to enter the political arena. At present, council meetings, because they are held during the daytime, are effectively closed to the working community community and, as a result, would-be participants in the management of the Town's business are precluded. In a leading article in the Statesman a few weeks ago reference was made to the lack of younger professionals willing to stand for Council. Perhaps this would not be the case if the local press helped stimulate their interest by providing regular and detailed coverage of Council's proceedings. By these means, we the voters should be better equipped in the next election to select the best representatives representatives from an improved state of candidate! Respectfully, Alan Tibbies Vote for and ELECT Tieiemans for Councillor Ward Two ELECTION DAY NOVEMBER 8th A 50th wedding anniversary party for Grace and Archie Masters of Bowmanville was held at the King Garden Restaurant Saturday.
