Reeve Jack Mould however, &zays Weston is making an unreasonâ€" able demand in insisting on a Wesâ€" tonâ€"Mount Dennis W ard which would almost guarantee Weston two It appears that the largest quesâ€" tion that the two councils fail to agree on is the future ward status of the new borough. Mayor Wes Boddington lays the fault of this disâ€" pute on York‘s shoulders by claimâ€" ing that some York councillors won‘t agree to Weston‘s proposed five ward scheme because they are afraid that if their wards are broken up, it will lessen their chances of being reâ€" elected. It is a pity that negotiations betâ€" ween York and Weston which startâ€" ed off on the right foot have ended on a sour note. All the council memâ€" bers of York and Weston must share some of the blame. \ The municipal council members of York township and the town of Weston should be thoroughly ashâ€" amed of themselves. They were told earlier this year by the Ontario government that as of January 1, 1967 their two municiâ€" palities would be amalgamated and named the Borough of York. They were further instructed to work out the terms of merger or else let the Ontario Municipal Board do the job for them. George W. Bull BARRISTERS and §OLICTTORS Howird G. Ashbourne, B A. . Carl W.

It would be unfair Reeve Mould argues for this ward to have a fibbula‘t‘ion of 18,000, when the other four wards range from 22,000 to 40,000. The tragedy of this ridiculous dispute is two fold: First, by failing to resolve their differences amicably, the s hort sighted politicians may be doing irâ€" reparable harm to their municipaliâ€" ties. Second, each and every one of them was elected on the promise that they would serve their respective municipalities to the best of their abilities. Instead of ironing out the amalâ€" gamation bugs like men, these poliâ€" ticians have elected to let the Onâ€" tario Municipal Board do the joh for them. And for this, they should be thoroughly ashamed of themâ€" selves. Unless they were lying during their election speeches or have very limited ability, they have clearly not lived up to the responsibilities of their offices. . By creating artificial barriers and indulging in a silly game of name calling, they have all failed the taxpayer of Weston and York township and as a consequence, the taxpayers will suffer.

The only answer then is to build more hospitals and the only way this can be done is to collect‘the necesâ€" sary funds. . _ Some Weston councillors < are opposed to including this important question on the ballot, because they believe the automatic tax jump of at least eight mills when the town merges with York next year is more than adequate. While this may be a valid argument, it shouldn‘t be exâ€" tended too far. f Every municipality has finanâ€" cial problems, but in many such as in North York, the voters have elecâ€" ted to build hospitals even if it costs them an extra five dollars on their annual tax bill.

Each of these groups of course, emphatically denies the suggestions by others that they are the real cause of Canada‘s shrinking dollar. _ _ â€" ( _ Ontario‘s recent ‘five per cent sales tax fits into the same category. Buy a car or pair of shoes and you pay five per cent on top of the regular price. You know the five per cent tax increases your cost of living but does the Dominion Bureau of Statistics? Labor blames the industrialist for inflation and the industrialist says it‘s labor‘s fault. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If Canada‘s cost of living index were the sole criteâ€" rion for judging the nation‘s rate of inflation, to my mind at least, us wage earners and our families who make up 80 per cent of the population would have nothing to worry about. But when it comes right down to looking at our own pocket books, the so called cost of living index which says our cost of living increased 2% per cent last year is in reality a myth. 0 * 0_ When the taxes on you home go up the regular $20 to $60 a year, it takes a real chunk of your annual income to pay the increase, but this is in no way shown in ths cost of living index. Every builder and every other citizen in Canada knows that the 11 per cent building materials and plant machinery sales tax imposed by the Federal government a couple of years ago has meant a substantial rise in the cost of home building and manufacturing.â€" everyone that is, except the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. If indeed DBS does, it still refuses to include these increasing taxes in the cost of living figures it publishes each month. For some reason (which I suspect has something to do with politics) those cost of living statistics, prepared monthly by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics don‘t inâ€" clude the never ending tax increases that you and I must pay so the politicians can fulfill at least a few of their "free bread and circuses" election planks. 2 As Winston Churchill once said: "There are lies, damn liefs. and statistics. The cost living index then, is truly a farce. What is the real cause of inflation? There are really a number of causes. One I believe is the government printing press. If you live on a little island and the governâ€" ment prints a million dollar bills, each dollar is worth 100 cents. But suppose the government wants more dollars on the guise of providing more social services. It won‘t be too long after it prints another million one dollar bills that these bills acquire a face value of 50 cents. Another major cause of inflation which you rarely if ever read about is the tarrif. If Canadian steel for inâ€" stance couldn‘t hide behind trade barriers, it would be forced to sell steel here gnd abroad at the world market price. If the world marky price of steel is $100 a ton, and Canada has a 25 per cent stee! tarrif, railways, builders. manufacturers and auto makers are forced to pay $125 a ton for steel which results in Mr. Consumer paying 25 per cent more than he should for the steel content of everything he buys and uses. Another factor which causes your wages to shrink so badly was mentioned in an editorial which appeared in this paper last week. Because of an artificial land scarâ€" sity, the price of building lots in Metro increase at an alarming rate. A lot for a house which sold for $5.000 five years ago. today sells for $15.000 and next year may well sell for $18,000 to $20,000. If you live in an apartâ€" ment building don‘t accept the idea that you are getting off scott free. An apartment building lot worth $100,000 five years ago, today sells ‘for $500,000. Someone thersâ€" fore, has to pay that $400,000 difference, and you can bet that last shrinking dollar of yours that it won‘t be the owner of the building. There is another cause of inflation, and unfortunateâ€" Iv, Canada can‘t do much about it. This one is due to the .
