Council may deâ€" Alec Clarke of Clarke's Pharmacy, Yonge Street South,‘ said that he was surprised that the public had accepted the new tax so quietly. There had been practically no kicking, he de- clared. Following the practice‘ of a number of merchants, he was keeping the tax collections in a separate container.‘ He told a story about another re- tailer who was following the same “banking” pattern. That individual, he said. had made up his mind that he was going to mail all his filled containers at the end of the month to On- tario's tax collector, with a note asking that the containers be returned. No Hardware Kicks "Frost Bite" - Mayor Calls It Customers had accepted the new ales tax with no objec- tions, George Hill of Richmond Hill Hardware told "The Liber~ a1". Kicks had been practically nil, he said. The tax had cer- tainly not slowed up buying, which in recent weeks had shown a steady upâ€"tum. No in- vestment in new machinery was necessary to handle the tax. he said. In the Allencourt Plaza, W. Lazenby of Allencourt Drugs said the tax had no efieCt on sales and no beefs had been registered. Similar reports came from the I.G.A. and Doris Lott, proprietor of Allencourt Music Centre. I.G.A.'s special tax registers, said stall mem- bers, obviate tax headaches. Smaller shops, reluctant to spend several hundred dollars on cash register renovations, said the only beet they had was the extra time required at the end of each day to total up the tax intake. J ust south of Hill's, Richmond Hill TV, owned by Louis Moore and John Waegemaker, said: “The tax hasn’t meant a thing." 1A day after the tax came in one client bought a $299 television set. and mother a $400 set and didn’t even bother to inquire about the tax. No Ailencourt Objections A. R. Pine of Beverley Acres Pharmacy. said: "Our main problem was sorting out the tax- able ltems.” Mrs. Alice Buck- land of Wyn-Dot Ladies’ Wear,‘ said: “We’re using more quar- ters because items marked up at say $1.99 now come to over $2.00. None of our clients have done any beefing." Calculating Takes Time In the same plaza. Bob Foun- tain of Fountain! Hardware said: “We have had only one complaint, and that was of a general nature." One merchant, who did'not want his name used, said: (frankly, it's _one Two weeks after the inauguration of the Ontario three per cent sales tax, Richmond Hill consumers appear to have accustomed themselves to the levy, which Mayor James Haggart has named the “Frost Bite", without experiencing undue financial indigestion. Mayor Haggart had a gloomy note for 1962 taxpayers. “You can tell your readers," he told “The Liberal”, “that the tax has to be paid by the municipality on many items and the amount has to be allowed for in the budget." Efforts to have the tax knocked off on municipal purchases have been unsuccessful. But it is obvious that the taxpayer isn’t worried and that as a consumer he has adapted himself to the tax.

He estimated he spent ‘one and a half hours each day figuring out the tax iqcome. In Richmond Heights Centre, John Cristofl’ at Loblaw's said: “It’s a breeze. We have up-to- date registers and the clients haven’t come up with squawlu." A1 Hill at Tamblyn's said: "We're In stride. The customers give us good co-operation." No Falling 0t!

Customers, he said, were taking the tax in their stride and making very few complaints. There were no pagticular Aprgblems, he said. "It was bad the first day but now our stat: is settled down to it." Manager C. K. Stansfleld of the F. W. Woolworth store. Yonge Street, reported. With his store handling thousands of smaller items, very little troub- le had been experienced. Some Woolworth stores, he added, had been forced to spend consider- able amounts on new cash reg- ister equipment in order to re- cord tax collected. but his equipment had not needed changing. ,. One of the stores which found itself heavily penalized was Morley's Foodland, Yonge St. 'I‘here hundreds of dollars had to be spent on the installation of tax recording cash registers.

Christensen 01' 116 Yongeview Avenue has asked Vaughan Township Council to check whether the township can legally bill a property owner for ditching and culvert work instead of adding such costs to the tax statement. “Ever since a works crew dug up my ditch, and driveway, to replace my ‘culvert with a township cul~ ‘vert last year I've been plagued lwith surplus ditch water. and my driveway wasn't properly levelled off." he said. “To add insult to injury I've been given orders to pay for the work or else." attachment to the pipe.
