It was through this type of organization that many of our community services were first established. Take for instance our fine Community Hall, our Parks, our Library System. To- day it appears that this type of organization is far and few be- tween. Those that are left seem to he operating on their last legs and many are completely dom- inated by the executive level. Deputy Reeve Ire. Paisley of North York made the following observations on Ratepayers 0r- ganizations in a recent address: "Something is needed, a re- vival, a stimulant has to be ad- ministered. As r look around me today I am quite discouraged as I pinnot see the proving grounds of these organizations coming up with any promising future political timber.

One way in which your local coun- cillor could get your views on the subject would be for you to phone or write them and pass on your ideas on the subject. Perhaps our men need a spur to action. I can think of no bet- ter spur than to suggest that the womenfolk get out and support female candidates in our next municipal election. This might very well be the fuse that sets off the dynamite that will re- verberate through our local council chambers.

Goodhead. hits (ht His Roam In Favor at Metro Amalgamation Reeve Norman Goodhend " North York recently delivered two midtown concerning his idea on the need for male:- mgtion; appearing below is a condensation of these talks: "Government is the biggest business in Canada today, andd venture to say that you know little, if anything, about your local area administrative, finan- cial position and even less about Metres. You hear and read great political talk about Metro "sum- ing this cost and that cost, in~ eluding hospitals. subways, etc, but have you ever stopped to figure out how we are going to pay for it all? "Let me startle you right a- way with one important statistic: Since 1964 Metro's assessment has increased 60'l while our outstanding net debt has increa- sed 62'T. This means we are go- ing into debt ten times faster than we are receiving new rev- enue to pay for it. Thus, Metro's spiraling tax rate will soon be in orbit. Add to this, that you now pay $20.00 a year on the average home to keep this debt down, through a two mill levy for public transit and a one mill levy for schools. In simple fin- ancial language, we must in- crease our tax rate or receive new assessment each year, to pay our bills, tor by a eombine tion of both.) At present, in ev- ‘ery municipality but North York 1Township, tax rates are being (substantially increased, while inew assessment drags far be. 1hind.
