Lower Priced Cars General Motors of Canada will introduce lower-priced versions of six of its smaller cars next month, President David Collier said Friday. Various items of previously standard equipment have been made optional, leading to a lower price of $122 to $381. The move is seen as a step to halt sagging sales of GM products. Last month car sales were down 23.6 percent from January, 1974, and truck sales were down 25.6 percent from the year before. The rebate program increased increased sales at the end of last month, and Mr. Collier described described these price reductions as a "follow up" on the rebate program. None of these items were options before, a GM spokesman spokesman said. These steel belted tires made into optional features is a standard feature of the reduced reduced price of all the'cars. The Pontiac Ventura price will go down by $155 when roof drip moldings are made optional, while an oldsmobile Omega will go dwon by $260 and its window-frame molding, molding, cigarette lighter and day-night mirror will become options, as they will be on the Buick Skylark, which will now cost $272 less. A Chevrolet Monza will cost $296 less, and a Buick Skyhawk $381 less with a deluxe steering wheel, console console and rear-stabilizer bar made optional. Other options for the Sky- hawk will be the body stripe, tachometer, and clock, while the four-speed transmission will become a Monza option. Mr, Collier also confirmed that Cadillac's forthcoming luxury model will be called the Seville. Road Budget yet to be Approved The sum of $549,200 was approved as the town's share of the 1975 road budget, Monday, but final approval of the projects involved will come at later budget discussions. The budget will mean about a 16 percent increase in the number of tax mills set aside for road work. However, the increase in 'the roads budget for .1975 will actually be about 26 percent, and for this reason Coun. Kirk Entwisle unsuccessfully presented presented a motion to delay approval of the town's share of the $1.2 million total budget. The difference between the town's share and the total is paid by the provincial government. government. Mayor Garnet Rickard explained explained at a council meeting Monday that although the budget will increase 26 percent, percent, the mill rate will increase only 16 percent because the remainder will be covered by an increase in assessment in the town. However, the mayor also said that the town receives a grant from the province each year, and to take advantage of the full grant, the town must bring its expenditures up to a matching level. In 1974 there was a lot of bridge maintenance said the chairman of the works committee, committee, Don Wearn, and this type of work is funded 80 percent by the province and 20 percent by the town. Regular road-work is 50-50. In the 1975 budget, continued the committee chairman, there is a lot of road maintenance. Therefore, to get the same provincial subsidy as last year, .the town's expenditure on road maintenance must go up, said Mr. Wearn. But, Coun. Entwisle said "It disturbs me that the province | puts up so much and we have | to match that." I "We could cut back on the budget," he added. Coun. Wearn defended the budget and all of the projects in it - even though detailed information information was not presented to council Monday - stating that "there are no unnecessary unnecessary projects in here." The Newcastle road needs study will be finished sometime sometime this year, he said, and the town is concerned about maintaining the present level of services until the roads study determines which roads will be important in the figure.
