Rd. #8 (1/4 Mile East of No. 12 FREE ESTIMATES All too often, various governmental agencies at- tempt to generate reve- nues through taxes and levies on new homes. Sometimes, they try to im- pose standards which would not support a cost/ benefit analysis. The ODHBA works to prevent frivolous standards from being imposed. Recently, the Durham Boards of Education im- posed a costly charge on each new home in their district. The ODHBA fought vociferously to pre- vent this regressive tax from being imposed upon you. Unfortunately, the boards decided that cash was more important than fairness and imposed this tax grab anyway. The Oshawa-Durham Home Builders' Association has taken this issue to task and itis now before the Su- preme Court of Canada. COUNTRY UPHOLSTERY Need to redecorate?
