There will be one hour of public skating, then some exhi- bition hockey by the boys and a friendly duel between Channel 3 TV Stars and the Oak Ridges Old Boys! Other entertainment features are also planned. Ad- mission is $1 for adults and boating season in 1971. The motion to seek the necessary power to regulate motor boats was introduced by Deputy-reeve Norman Barnard and seconded by Councillor Merlyn Baker at the October 6 council ses- sion. The motion passed un- animously. The resolution argues that township lakes and ponds are all too small for large and noisy boats. At present non-residents can drive up to any lake and launch whatever size of boat they like at any time, it was said. Involved would be the three main township lakes, Wilcox, Preston and Mus- selman, plus a number of smaller lakes and ponds. Dick Smyth Not all the news is bad.

Representative AI Wall Praises Robarts' 25% Farm Tax Rebate Last week Ontario Premier John Robarts announced that the provincial government will ‘rebate to farmers 25% of this year’s ,a d subsequent years‘ taxes as? partial relief of what farmers erm an unjust munic- ipal taxation burden. "The Liberal” is always pleased to publish items of Interest regarding people and events in the Oak Ridges - Lake Wilcox and King City districts. Our news corres- pondent in Oak Ridges - Lake Wilcox is Mrs. Elisabeth Orton, Yonge Street, 773-4635, in King City Mary Dawson, 884-1105. This week Agricultural Rep- resentative for York County, A1 Wall, calls this announce- ment the biggest news of -the week. “The 25% provincial rebate on farm property is cer- tainly a move in the right dir- ection." Mr. Wall forecasts that opin- ion will vary as to whether this rebate is enough or too much. “While this is important right now, the other half of the an- nouncement really means a great deal more to us in York. That is that the government will have a new system here for applying property taxes by \1971”, the ag. rep. continued. He pointed out that the pres- ent system, where a taxpayer’s share of municipal costs is de- termined by'the market value of his property, doesn‘t work well in a complex area like York. “It breaks down because market value here in York is a very poor measure of the abil- ity of a property to generate income. A further point on farms is that investment in real estate (taxable) is so much Mr. Wall also notes that the plan for the Toronto Centred Region calls for most of our present farm land to remain open space for recreation and agriculture. “This is good land use, but I’m afraid that if some positive steps aren’t taken, we might end up with the kind of open space we find too often on speculative land south of High- ‘Iway 7." higher than dustry.” in any other in- Pantling, George Street, who was a member of Aurora Fig- ure Skating Club for a num- ber of years and is now qual- ified to instruct.
