Delay Sought In introduction Of New System BY PETER PARROTT The Durham Region has called for a two-year moratorium moratorium before the introduction of any new system used in the calculation of unconditional grants from the Province of Ontario. A proposed change in the grant distribution system as suggested by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario would result in the Town of Newcastle losing $287,000 in unconditional grants per year. A provincial scheme for grant distribution would result in this municipality losing some if its unconditional grants, but not the amount that would disappear through the AMO proposal. A resolution passed by the Durham Region at a meeting last Wednesday, June 22, states that in the light of predictions of a negative impact impact on the Region and the negative impact on most of the area municipalities, the AMO should endorse a moratoriuiti. In addition, the Durham's regional council notes that the moratorium would allow the Province time to review its proposals with Durham and with local municipalities.
