2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., March 25, 1981 Durham seeks more money i (From page 1) - spending took up a good jas portion of the budget debate which stretched over two. days last week, and at one point council voted down an amendment .from Uxbridge Mayor Bill Ballinger that the police budget be referred to the Ontario Police Com- mission fora ruling. Council eventually decided to with-hold passing the budget until after-a decision is made by the province on the request for more money for the police department. Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor voted against the motion to ask the provincial government for more money. He told council he feels the Durham Police Commission has pared the budget down "to an acceptable level needed to maintain a good level of service" in the Region. "I'm prepared to accept this budget," said Mayor Taylor. Although it is not known when a delegation of regional officials will make the pitch to Queens Park for more police money, it is - expected that this will be done in the next couple of weeks. Along with" the police budget, council "also last week delayed approval of the Region's share of the Central Authority budget, pending more information from that organization, The budgets of all other regional departments were approved with a few minor additions and deletions which will not affect the overall expenditures. If the police budget gets no extra money from the provincial government, Durham's current 1981 budget for general purposes will be $34,756,000, of which $22,575,000 will be levied against the eight municipalities which make up Durham. The rest will come the provincial grants ($11,440,000) and $750,000 from road levies and an operating surplus. The $22,575,000 that must be raised directly from property taxes this year represents a net increase 18.5 per cent over the 1980 net property tax levy of $19,056,000.

However, because of assessment changes in proportion to other municipalities, property owners in Scugog are looking at an estimated increase of 18.1 per cent in regional tgaxes which means about $23- extra on the average residential property. Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor said after the budgert debate that even with all the cuts made by the various departments, the impact on Scugog residents is going to be sizeable. He said part of the reason is that last year, the Regional budget was pared too thin, forcing catch-up this year. He added that society "seems' to be 'requesting more and more services, and at the same time wants taxes to be lower." "I don't know how that can be done," he stated. Figures released with the budget from the Region's finance department show that from 1977-80, the annual increase in regional taxes on the average property in Scugog has been 4.3-per cent. And with the substantial hike in 1981, the average over the past four years for Scugog has been 7.6 per cent. Two'men injured in car accident .

The mood was subdued election night at her campaign office in Port Perry where she urged party workers and supporters not to give up. Mrs. Wilbur said she would consider running again in four years. Election victory (From page 1) his Queens Park Office would remain. He said he plans to take several trips throughout the riding this year to specifically meet with constituents who have problems. WILBUR BITTER NDP candidate Marg Wilbur who has worked on numerous campaigns in this. area over the years expressed disappointment at her own poor showing in Durham-York and concern that voters across the province had turned away from the NDP. "It's not a good night for us," she told a group of solemn supporters at her campaign office in Port Perry after the results were known. She praised her supporters for the work they did during the campaign and urged them not to give up. "We must keep on working and caring for people," she: said. I will be back in three or four years and you had better be back too," she told them. In an interview later she said she does not believe the fact she is a women in a predominantly rural riding was a factor in the election results. "The results in Durham reflect the province-wide trends." she said. She admitted that Mike Cassidy's leadership may be "one element of the problem' for the New Democrats, but more a reflection of society's move to the right. When asked whether she has any fears about this apparent shift to the right Mrs. Wilbur replied in blunt -language. "Yes, I fear that the people in society who can afford it least are going to get more and more of a screwing. "The problems are going to be taken out on the people who can least afford it,"' she said. Co As an example she said she expects the Conservatives will lift rent controls in the not too distant future: Figures from the last provincial election in June, 1977 for Durham-York riding, indicate that in 1981 the Conservatives gained about 300 votes, the Liberals stayed almost unchanged, while the NDP lost 2700 from the 7000 the party received in 1977. Mrs. Wilbur said she could not explain what happened to those NDP votes as they apparently did not go in great number to either the Liberal or Conservative candidate. She did admit that in the' latter - stages of the campaign, she began to get the feeling that things were not going so well. When the campaign began four weeks ago, Mrs. Wilbur said she realistically had hoped the NDP could place a strong second ~~ behind the Conservatives. i, KIRN ALL TYPES - ALL MAKES L_PHILIPS "SRV SERVICING STEREOS & HI-FI'S 723-5341 Serving The Port Perry Area 214 BLOORE.
