Canada January 27 th, 1984 Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Ont., Canada Re: Enough is Enough Congratulations to Ms. Kaaz for her editorial comment on the usurious tax system in the Town of Newcastle. We also faced an increase of 24.5 percent percent on residential (one acre plus house) and 57.6 percent on the farm which would appear to be a direct contradiction contradiction of the' Ontario government's government's 5 plus 5 program. Add to this that a 100 acre farm with three bedroom house and large barn within driving distance distance of Toronto is taxed at $280.00 annually, and you can see just what is being done to us. R is my understanding that Mayor Rickard asked Ms. Kaaz where we expected the money to come from, for what Mr. Mayor? We have no XI (entertainmen t) Enjoy the latest movies without leaving home. sewers, streetlights, curbs and gutters, garbage collection, collection, bus service and if it wasn't for Ontario Hydro, no lights. As for your road maintenance, maintenance, you can forget about that. Most of the local roads are not drivable in winter and a disaster in summer. In fact in the winter of 1981-82, snow fence erected across from our property was placed erroneously erroneously and when we asked it to be re-located, they just didn't put it up again. Some caring system. To all of the 540 concerned Town of Newcastle taxpayers that attended the open house in Bowmanville last week, you may have believed you were being interviewed by real people. Don't you believe it! ! ! 1 These are government pro- ' duced androids who are programmed programmed to say "10 acres, 55,000 dollars, nothing we can do." This is in direct opposition opposition to the cabinet androids, federal level, program 6 plus 5 and provincial level program, 5 plus 5. It seems almost ludicrous that they have not produced an android that says "How do I feed the kids, pay all the increases in phone, hydro, fuel oil etc. while all levels of government are shafting shafting me." Ooops, they have some and they are called ratepayers. ratepayers. Recently a Windsor group launched a tax revolt similar, but not identical to the California California revolt, and as you are all aware, when the Muskoka cottage owners were being taxed out of their proverbial shoes by the local council they entered their own candidates, attended the elections, and won. If all the ratepayers get from people like Mayor Rickard, their council representative representative and Sam Cureatzs office is a 'I couldn't care less' attitude, it is time the ratepayers ratepayers themselves took action to protect their interests in a region such as this. Thank you for hearing me out. Yours truly, Mrs. M. I. Rodgers YELVERTONNEWS At last the news is out. The names of the 11 or is it 12 Directors of "Canagrix" - the food exporting Crown Corporation Corporation have finally been released. released.

We know from many years of close association, association, that Howard will give the best of his considerable ability to this new post.

Our Yelverton community is proud of Howard's accomplishments and share the prestige that comes indirectly to our locality. locality.
