From page 1 These figures do not include the salaries council members receive from the respective individual muni- cipalities. In his report to the management committee and the council, Mr. Herrema states '"'a number of council- lors I see regularly spend a lot of hours of work on behalf of the Region and are not AV adequately paid." He notes that senior Regional management personnel were given pay hikes of 12 per cent this year. The recommendations and report almost certainly will create a heated debate when the full council meets this Wednesday, October 14th. Oshawa councillors Margaret Shaw and Ed Kolodzie have already filed a Tax $$ over-due From page 1 may have to go to the bank and borrow at prime, which is higher than the penalties charged for late payment of taxes. In short, non-payment of property taxes is going to cost the municipality money. Officials are urging people to make the final installment on their 1981 tax bill. Those who may be taking advantage of the penalty loop-hole could be in for a rude surprise on January 1st. The council has the power to increase the penalty for tax arrears and late pay- ment to 1.5 per cent above the current prime bank rate, and it is likely that this action will be taken as councillors want the penalty loop-hole plugged.

The issue of a council voting itself a pay raise is always a sticky one which some councillors have great difficulty with. In addition to calling for a five per cent hike in coun- cillors salaries, the recom- mendation from the manage- ment committee says the chairman's annual salary of $38,015 should be increased by 12 per cent, and the chairman of the various standing committees of council should receive an additional $250 over the $750 they already receive. As chairman of Durham Region, Gary Herrema's salary of $38,015 is the third lowest of the 11 Regions in Ontario. The highest paid chairman is in Ottawa-Carleton where the salary is $63,319, and the lowest is in Halton Region at $32,590. : The salary of any muni- cipal councillor in Ontario is one-third tax free. The salaries cited in the reports to Durham council do not include fringe benefits, expense accounts, mileage allowances for tax exemptions.

The Association also points out that nurses salaries are lagging far behind other professionals in the public sector such as teachers and police officers.

"We don't want to be the highest paid nurses in Canada, but we do want to keep up with the others," said Ms. Holroyd. -- -- --- members are not paid for their service.
