Distillers informed the Comâ€" mittee that the province is attempting to take ton much money out of the liquor inâ€" The Petroleum Association of Ontario proposed a uniform rate of business assessment and protested the inclusion of certain service station retail equipment in assessment for real estate and business tax purposes. This results in "double taxation‘ it said. It was also pointed out that taxâ€" payers are frequently required to pay for local improvements which were undertaken at the request of municipal officials. The Council expressed conâ€" cern at the possibility that the Retail Sales Act may apply to textbooks and general books. Imposition of sales tax would create grave adminisâ€" trative problems and would eontribute relatively little to the public purse, the brief stated. The Association of Ontario Land Economists criticized the lack of uniformity in muniâ€" cipal assessment and pointed Out some inequities in the apâ€" peal procedure. The Associaâ€" tion suggested the use of a new mandatory assessment manual, central control and supervision of assessors and anâ€" alternate basis of assessâ€" ment, using either site valuaâ€" tion or rental value. The Association also fe‘t that Life Insurance companes should be placed in the lowest category for tax purposes as far as office space was conâ€" cerned.

A system of company reâ€" porting of life insurance payâ€" ments was proposed as a subâ€" stitute for the current "conâ€" sent" requirements. The Association of Canadian yet citizens moving into the area will be the direct responsibility of the local welfare office. Citizens who will be taking advantage of the Thistletown scherne are accustomed to the convenience of neighborhood markets, movie houses, bowling alleys, pool rooms, "Â¥" centres, restaurants and pubs. Put them into the isolation of rorthern Etobiâ€" coke with only a shopping plaza and one bus running up Kipling, and what will they do? It is never good policy for subordinates to issue statements contradicting their suâ€" periors‘ policy, but in this case the suborâ€" dinate is an expert on housing and his suâ€" periors are politicians. With only the federal agency to be heard from the Thistletown problem is almost solved. It is a pity the public did not hear Mr. Bradley and other experts sooner. Mr. Bradley is to be commended for his courage in expressing his learned opinion when he was convinced something was wrong. His statement has incited much thought regarding the Thistletown project and Etobicoke‘s request for land to house recreation facilities to benefit the citizens of the project. Also recommended by the Board were: elimination ‘of the security transfer, capital and place of business taxes; repeal of the Logging Tax Act; full rebate of gasoline tax in cases of nonâ€"use on public highâ€" ways; exemption from amuseâ€" ment tax for movie theatres; withdrawal of the province from the succession duty field; establishment of a permanent Federalâ€"Provineial Secretariat and a standard fixed rate of business assessment. tion income tax should be reâ€" duced from 11% to 9%. The extra 2% over and above the federal abatement represents "a disincentive to the location of industry in this Province," the Board claimed.

School crossing guards do not have the #asiest job in Metro and it would be a big morale booster if Metro at least provided them with a standard uniform. Every time Metro gets into 6 swamp its road building costs go up. This time its in the Don Valley where swampy ground has absorbed $152,000 worth of extra earth fill and work above the original estimated cost. > The rentâ€"aâ€"car business is booming in Metro and two big U.S. companies want to enter the figld.

An elected representative from the suburbs put it another way; We have to spend money to make monâ€" ey."" No doubt federal government loans are an incentive to spend money. But it happens to be our money . . . the taxpayers . . . that they are spending. The capital budget was so big that most Metro exâ€" ecutive committee members didn‘t quite understand it. At the same time there is no doubt but that the services to be provided by the big expenditure will be needed. Metro is now the second ranking city in North America when it comes to automobile registration. It is ahead of Detroit and not too far behind the leader, Los Angeles. A new Etobicoke area resident is Samuel Cullers the flying city plaonner who is in Metro to study urban reâ€" newo!l problems. Metro bought 750 private properties last year and now will buy at least another 500 this year to provide for extension of the subway! into Etobicoke and the Spadina expressway into Forest Hill and York Township The TTC reports that in Etobicoke 80 percent of the area is served by public transit and 97 percent of the population comes within the range of this service.

Tory Linen May Be Soiled But Dief Still Great White Father Report From Ottawa John Diefenbaker, fighting for his political life, won an overwhelming. vote of confiâ€" dence at the annual general meeting of the Progressive Conservative association.

Cleverly Ré stressed th at personally he would not worâ€" ry whether it wis a secret vote or a standing vote that gave him a vote 61 confidence. It was a fighting speech. It was reminiscent of the astute political campaigner at his best in 1957 and 1958. He played on the emotions of the Tories. He pulled out all stops. He attacked the Liberal Govâ€" ernmment; seoffed at its record; claimed the Conservatives had done fmuch better and would do better dgain. He showed once again that he is a forâ€" midable campaigner. But there were many among the deleâ€" gates who were not stirred. They had had éhough of the old catmpaignét, n6 longer for them is he the spéll â€" binder. But they wéré in the minorâ€" ity. The majority loved it "Don‘t get the idea that this is only for a short time," said Mr. Diefenbaker referring to the resolution of confidence. He added that however far off an election might be he would lead the Party into the election "so long as the Lord gives me health which the Liberals regularly take away from me". This suggestion, said Mr. Diefenbaker, was nonsense. There was no intention on his part to quietly retire from the scene so long as he was enâ€" joying the good heaith he had today. In his speech to the annual meeting just before the vote of confidence, the naâ€" tional leader squelched such rumours. Rumors began to circulate that there had been a comâ€" promise solution reached. The compromise was supposed to be that the annual meeting would give Mr. Diefenbaker an overwhelming vote of conâ€" f:dence and in return after a year the national leader would quietly retire to the sidelines leaving the way clear for Duff Roblin or John Robarts or Robert Stanfield, to move into the limelight front and centre and be named national leader. the vote he made it clear that there was no qualification to his victory. He is leader and Before the vote on the resoâ€" lution expressing confidence in his leadership went beforeâ€"the meeting in the Chateau Lauâ€" rier there was an emotional and bitter debate over whethâ€" er or not the vote would be by secret ballot. That debate left deep wounds that will be a long time healing. It was a dramatic day in the life of the Progressive Conâ€" servative Party. Behind the scenes in the traditional smoke â€" filled rooms small groups had argued for and against Mr. Diefenbaker as leader. Gradually it began to appear that the strongest opâ€" position to the leader had deâ€" veloped in Alberta, Central Ontario and in Quebec. will continue as leader with no thought of quietly retiring in a vear or more. gave him a standing Later after the vote Mr. Diefenbaker in an interview flatly declared: ‘"The vote I réceivéd was #wonderful.

Conservatives jammed â€" into the convention hall were ocâ€" cupying every available space. They stood three deep behind the press tables. As those spoke who said they wanted a secret ballot, delegates behind the press table muttéred such comments as: ‘Shut up, you‘re doing the party no good". "We‘re for John". ‘"The Liberals will love this," and "Why air our dirty linen like this". Mr. Diéfénâ€" baker had declared that no leader no matter how dedicaâ€" ted can ever march forward toward the foe while fearing someone behind him will inâ€" terfere. He pleaded for unity. He appealed for support. His appeal won him éenthusiastie applause and chéers and the delegates rejected the pleas of the dissidents who wanted to record their opposition to his leadership via the secret baiâ€" lot When the vote was taken on the confidence motion only a determined band of between 40 and 50 stood up to recofd their opposition. They were booed and jeeréd. The small group included former Cabâ€" inet Ministers Douglas Harkâ€" ness and J. M. Macdonnell. The Conservative headquarâ€" ters had announced theéré were 1,500 registered delegates. There were not that many packed into the convention hall. With about 50 standing to vate against the confidence motion there were also an unâ€" known number of abstentions. About oneâ€"quarter of the deleâ€" gates had supported the deâ€" mand for a secret ballot. Had the confidence motion been voted on by secret ballot there would have been undoubtedly a larger number of opposition votes recordéd. It became obvious as the meeting dissolved into & ranâ€" corous debate over whether there should be a secret ballot that Mr. Diefenbaker‘s opponâ€" ents had blundered. They had made the system of voting the issue, rather than Mr. Diefenâ€" baker‘s leadership. They inâ€" sisted that only through a seâ€" cret ballot could the Conservâ€" atives be united. When they lost that fight, they were outâ€" manceuvred because any deâ€" bate on Mr. Diefenbaker‘s leadersip was quickly cut off and consequently no argument could devélop over whether or not he was a good leader.
