Thursday, September 29, 1960 -ABOUT EDUCATION COSTS | PROVINCIAL GRANTS IN 1960 APPROXIMATELY $200,000,000 ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS ELEMENTARY & SECONDARY SCHOOLS $441,000,000. UNIVERSITIES : wun 45,000,000. : 486,000,000. (Not including capital expenditures for construction) The opposition promises to pay 100% of this plus capital expenditures for universities of about $37,000,000. or a total of about $525,000,000. This means the province would have to raise an extra $325,000,000 Total provincial revenue last year was $648,000,000 The Opposition Proposals mean: An end to local school boards An Increase in Taxes of 50% IS IT WORTH IT? THIS IS WHAT THE TORONTO STAR SAID: TORONTO DAILY STAR, June 28, 1960 "If the provincial government took over all educational costs, where would it raise the money? The same residents and industries that now pay for schools through direct local taxes would find they were paying for them in direct or indirect taxes levied by the province. The switch in tax-masters would not of itself reduce taxes. It would merely change their form . . . "If Queen's Park took on the whole burden it would have to raise $200 million more a year. This would mean new or increased provincial taxes; probably a sales tax, higher gasoline tax and auto license fees or the imposition of a provincial income tax . . . "Municipal politicians may be attracted to the idea of shucking off the responsibility of levying ever-higher school taxes. But they might re- member that control of education by local school boards inevitably would be diminished if they do not bear a fair share of the bills.'
