Wanamaker attended a very interesting service in Oshawa. It was the sod turning ceremony for a new church on a new site which will replace the King Street United Church destroyed by fire. The worship service was of an ecunemical nature with representatives of the Roman Catholic and Jewish faiths taking part as well as Protestant denominations. The church plan was laid out on the field showing each depart. ment and suitable ceremonies were carried out at the entran- ce to each section. Little child- ren from the S. S. carried their small spades and each turned a sod for what they will al- ways consider "their" church. Two of our better known characters are to be in hospital this week for repaires. They are Morley Bruce and Mrs. Bill Barr. Both are billed for minor surgery so will probably not be on the list of dangerously ill. Mrs. O. Tait has moved to the Eade Nursing Home for a time. * Sunday was baby day here as in most churches. Three in- fants received the Sacrament of Baptism at the morning ser- vice. They were; Peggy Lynn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Groves; Grace Denise, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Whitt- aker; and Parrish Martin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Fisher. 'Many relatives of the children involved helped to fill the church. The Stone families, in- {terested in the Groves baby, were particularly well repre- sented and Mrs. Glynn of Saint- field was there to see her grandson, Parrish Fisher pres- ented for baptism.

ATR RAB ' p, ¥ LN 4 ES 12 FF FATHER td id dite eh siiount PORT PERRY STAR -- T rsday, May 18th, 1967 A Fel ' rial ' } wala da able FORTE SHEE Rh EF tad : Statement by the Hon. J. W. Spooner, Minister, Ontario Department of Municipal Affairs. The matter of municipal taxa- tion is under continual review by the government. We are mindful also, that because many of our elderly people are living on limited incomes, such taxa- tion together with other de- mands on their resources, in some circumstances may create financial difficulty. We have therefore drafted this bill which, if enacted, will provide immediate assistance to elderly people on limited in- comes to meet both municipal and school tax demands respect- ing their homes. The bill will permit munici- palities, and school boards in unorganized territory, to pass by-laws authorizing a tax cre- dit, without interest and finan- ced by the Province. This cre- dit will be equivalent to one- half of the real property taxes, excluding special rates, to a maximum of one hundred and fifty dollars in each year to any resident owner 65 years of age or. over. The municipality would then be reimbursed by Municipal And School Tan Credit Assistance Act 1967 such relief at the expense of other ratepayers in the muni- cipality which ultimately would result in a subsidy to the heirs of the present owners. This government is not prepared to place such a burden on other ratepayers. The bill which I have just. introduced, embodies the essence of the recommendation of the Select Committee on Ag: ing dealing with this subject which the government feels should be implemented at this time. The report of the Ontario Committee on Taxation is ex- pected in the near future. We feel the report likely will con. tain many recommendations for the reorganization and possibly the restructure of municipal taxation. Further consideration will be given to the matter of relief for elderly people prior to the in- troduction of any new legisla- tion arising out of the recom. mendations of the Committee. In the meantime we are pre- pared to pass this bill, which should be treated as a tempor- ary expedient. Mr. Speaker, as mentioned 'the Province for these credits: The taxes for which the credits have been allowed would be de- ferred until there is a change of ownership in the property. It should be noted that since this is a deferment only, other municipal ratepayers will not be subsidizing these eligible people in respect of the princi- pal amounts of the tax credits. There are several private bills to provide various means of tax relief. The majority of these private bills provide. for before the House which propose we recognize that many of our senior citizens are living on limited incomes, which may be burdensome during a period of economic expansion when thé prices of such basic commodi- ties as food, clothing and medi- cine have risen. This bill, when enacted and adopted by the municipalities, will assist many of our elderly people to remain in and maintain their own homes without 'being subsidized by or a burden to other tax- payers.
