Mayor Des Newman told the Free Press "I think it's vastly unfair to the point of being dammed indecenît." He poin'ted out that about 30% of the résidents of these homes in Durhamn Region do pay their own way, and hence this provincial man- date will have "a tremendous impact on this region."I "The problem in my opin- ion is very. serious," Mayor Newman said. He indicated th.at some residents could wind prp owing seven, or oight hundrèd -dollars in back rent. During very busy Centen- niai Week-end celebrations at the*' Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby a very special cere- mony was held. It was the unveiling of -a historical pla- que commemorating the ion Newman said that the pro- ivince indicated that if the regmon doesn't raise the rates- as the provirice wants, i could prejudice the r-gon's chances of Obaining provtin- cial grants already being re. lied upon. -temho Apparently temto used for establisbing the new rates is to anticipate operat- ing costs instead of basing the rates on the past year's cost as has been done in the past. Mayor Newman queition. ed* the legality of the retro- active increases and. said ""I think we should'raise the rates oily after giving decent notice and, the increases should* be consistent 'with yearly operating 'cost i-. creases," instead of applyipg two years' increases in one. Should the region have to pay the retroactive amount for the residents, this a- mounit alone could run as high as nearly haif a million dollars, PLUS the lncreased subsidization that would be necessary due to the iii- creased rates.
