PAGE 8, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1984. WHITBY FREE PRESS Capital grant request for 1985... Durham Board of Education wants $1 1.7 millin The Durham Board of Education has asked the provincial government for a capital grant of $11.7 million for 1985. The board bases its request on a five year capital forecast that in- cludes the building of new schools, additions, renovations and site aquisitions. The board estimates that it will need 6,000 more pupil spaces by early 1990. The space requirements might be filled by 15 new sites in Durham Region, in- cluding three sites in Whitby. In order to finance the new spaces the board bas determined that it will have to spend ap- proximatley $61 million over the next five years. According to a board press release, "1failure to undertake new buildings and improve existing site facilities could result in serious problems in the near future." While school enrolment is declining in many parts of On- tario, Durham's school V~THE CORPORATION 0F I~jY~>THETOWN OFWHITBY .........

The residential movement is easily noticed& in the increase of other developments in the region, such as the GO Transit con- struction and the new revenue building in Oshawa. Trustee Ruth Lafarga, chaîrman of the board, feels that people are moving out of Metro because of more affordable housing and the diversity of industry in Durham. "We are hoping tbat the minister (Bette Stephenson) will be sympathetic to the size, sal ary and working, conditions. The teachers would like to see a maximum size agreed upon. Gary Shannon, president of the Ontario Public School Federation, said teachers right across the province are in- terested in class size in order to give the best education possible. "Society bas more and m ore demanda on the education system which translates into more programs and we need a manageable problems associated with the growth. " The alternatives facing the board if no financing for new site aquisition is approved is the increase of por- tables in the region or more busing. Neither alternatives are considered desirable by board of- ficiaIs. Jim Russell, superintendent of plant for the board said, "We've got areas where there is no more room for flexibillty to move, we can't put an unlimited number ol portables on a site." The West Lynde Public school in Whitby is one school that had reached number of students in a class," Shannon said. The teachers also want a salary -increase that is in keýeping with inflation. The, Education Relations Commission bas appointed Dr. Harold F. Jakes of Ot- tawa to act as a fact fin- der in the negotiations. The fact finder will begin receiving sub- missions from both sides in November and then will issue a report, in an attempt to bring about an agreement. saturation point with nine portables. At the moment Durham Region bas 153 portables on achool grounds. If additional portables are approved by the ministry the total number will rise to 165, an equivalent of 12 average size schools. The other alternative of busing is economical but usually unaccep- table for parents. "Many parents will not accept busing," said Lafarga, "since they are taxpayers they want a achool in their neigh- bourhood." The five year forecast will be submitted to the Ontario Ministry' of Education by the end of October and Lafarga hopes for a response by June. Spealdg, to You By SCOTT FENNELL, MP (PC - Ontario) Canadians should be pleasantly surprised. This is because a task force report is actually being taken seriously. Unlike .a'w numnber of other task forces, which under the Liberal government became essen- tially a device for buying time, the Progressive Conservative Task Force on Revenue Canada is bringing about change. It is no minor job that the new Minister of Revenue, Perrin Beatty, is faced with. Hie bas given top priority to implementing the task force recom- mendations. This includes: stopping the use of such controversial training methoda as the film for tax auditors, which showed. departmnent employees using underhanded techniques to get information from taxpayers; drafting a taxpayers bill of rights; and simplifying the tax forms wbich bave become incomprehensible to the majority of the Canadian citizenry. The underlying assumption of the task force report was that the majority of -Canadians are honest, decent people Who are prepared to pay their taxes. 50 the department wil be doing away with the range of scare tactics tbat have previously been used under the guise that they provided the best' way to enforce compliance. One such abuse was the "Quota System", whereby the more collections an assessor brought in, the higher the department's regard for hizn. In the future, Revenue Canada employees will be judged-on accuracy and how well they know the law, not on how much money they brmng into the depar- tment.. They will alsa bave to be accountable for their work. Gone are the days of fishing expeditions, and the attitude of guilty until proven innocent. This is not to suggest that the departmnent will be lax in dealing with those Who deliberately choose to evade paying their fair share. Currently, there is $3.5 bilon out- standing in uncollected taxes. These funds will be collected. We should be encouraged by progress that is being made as a resuit of the Task Force Report on Revenue Canada. I believe that Canadians will eventually be'able to respect the department and that will be a tremnendous and welcome change. 1983 CAMPAIGN ,, S400000 DISBURSEMENTS $30O0.0 To Weîfare 0f Wldowr» 0f >Veterans And To Veterans.
