After deductions had been made on the basis of previous grant structures. the projection in- dicated a direct levy of $6.900,- UOO against property owners in York for regional expenses. an Increase of $1,648,700. over 1971. Regional Tax Hike Is Likely Since the province created the region, the region should appoint a committee to go to Queen’s Park to see Minister‘ Darcy McKeough, former Min- ister of Municipal Affairs. now‘ Minister of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs,‘ said Aurora Mayor Richard Illingworth. WANT PROVINCIAL AID The region's Chief Adminiâ€" strator John Rettie told council that an attempt had been made to set up a meeting with Mc- Keough. but no date had been set. “We have to assume the grants will be the same as they were in 1971.” All comparison-s in the budget estimates had been made on the basis of 1971 actual expenditures, not budget estimates, saidvRettie. On this basis net regional costs would ‘be up $1.2 million if the esti- mates were approved. How can you draw up a budget when you don‘t know how much you have to spend? This was the question asked repeatedly by members of York Reg- ional Council in a two-day session last week as estim- ates for 1972 were put forward by the Various com- mittees of the region. UCW Receives Help On ProgramsAt All-Day Leadership Trainingl Pointing out that assessment figures would not be available until March 15, councillors agreed they could only act on the assumption that assessments and provincial grants would be at about the same level as in 1971. Stouffville United Church hosted about 60 women of York Presbyterial for a leadership development day February 29. The women came from all comâ€" ers of York and from 44 cong- regations. In charge of the meeting was UCW Presbyterial President Mrs. Dorothy Findlay of King City. Leaders. were Rev. Marg- aret Erry and Rev. Bill Lord, both from the Division of Mis- sion in Canada for the Toronto St. John Ambulance To Hold Open House The public is invited to at- tend an open house sponsored by the St. John Ambulance. York Central Division, in the Richmond Hill New Arena March 29. starting at 8:30 pm. When the estimates presented by the various departments for 1972 came to $24,376,300, an in- crease of $6,855,400 over the cost of providing regional services in 1971, a number of councillors urged that the region appeal to the Department of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs (formerly Department of Municipal Affairs) for clarification of grant structures. ‘ Demonstrations on simulated casualties will be a feature of the evening. Refreshments will be served. The York Central Division serves an area from Steeles Avenue to the CFRB Sideroad and from Woodbridge to High- way 48 and is available for all public gatherings. During 197,1 the division fill- ed 90 assignments in this dis- trict and its members contribut- ed more than 1,600 hours of emergency first aid service. Members will be providing first aid emergency service for the entire midget hockey tournâ€" ament next week. No fee is charged for these services. but the branch accepts montary gifts in recognition of its services. .‘ll“““““‘!!!'

It doesn’t seem possible either that the inevit- able and constant basketball season is now officially ‘over'.

Another “almost victorious” for Richmond Hill was the grade 9 girls’ all-day basketball tournament at Langstaff. you .n.‘ a..-â€"__ The girls, Who had never before played in an actual game, won their first two by defeating Bay- view and Don Head. The last match against Lang- staff. found them just one point away from victory. They finished up a very, very close second. High Lights all budget estimates should be sent to the province with a re- quest for immediate clarifica- tion of grants, Rettie protested. pointing out that the budget was not finalized for 1971 until September. ‘We have to have some definite commitments or we will be stuck again.” Illingworth argued that with education spending up $3 mil- lion real estate taxes would soon be so high people would be forced to sell their homes to pay their taxes. For most departments actual spending for 1971 was below the budget estimate for the year, resulting in a cumulative sur- plus of $610,000. This, council agreed. could be credited to the estimated net cost to the region of estimates fm' the current year. Gross budget estimates for 1972 were In excess of $24 million compared with the ac: tual spending of $17 for 1971. With revenue and grants deâ€" ducted the estimate for 1972 is $6.9 million. Actual cost for 1971 levied against the regional property owner totalled $5.2 million. SALARIES NOT SETTLED Administration costs w e r 0 first to be considered by coun- ‘ciI.

Laymen are asked to play a more active part in every phase of church work than they have before. Local churches will need to work out ideas and program- ming of their own as what suits one region of the country does not necessarily suit another region. discussions revealed. The assembled women were asked “What Part Do United Church Women Play In The T0- tal Mission Of The Church?" Af- ter considerable discussion by different groups some answers reached were: world concern, community influence. en- thusiasm, involvement. caring, outreach, Bible study and under- ‘standing. The afternoon session was under the leadership of Miss Cillies. Under discussion was: “What happens to your good ideas?" Received were hints, helps and practice on: where to find ideas, how to develop them into programs and how to use sound and pictures to help get the message across. Dividing into groups the ladies came up with key words for programs. Some sugges- tions were: exploitation. re- newal, the hand. our permis- sive society. no woman is an island, along with many others. ‘Stouffville UCW members, headed by Mrs. Rae Holden provided a delicious dessert at lunch time. at It was agreed that it was in order to make recommendations I to committees that specific amounts be cut from their re- spective estimates. but that it was up to the individual com- mittees to decide were they could best effect savings in their respective departments. ' There was disagreement on Adisposition of the old York Meeting in council on Thurs-l day. recommended salary in- creases for staff submitted by the special grants committee were deferred pending further negotiation. In reconvening as finance committee. the regional council agreed to review the proposed 5 a 1 a r ,v increases. Aurora Mayor Richard Illing- worth pointed out. “We have to look at the budget as a whole. We should tell our employees we have to keep the budget down in an election yearâ€"you will have to take a cut in salary."

If we let them (the Cadets) use it we are endangering lives." Georgina Councillor Robert Pollock asked why there was no income from the farm. Of the 87 acres, he said, 85 are good farm land. A farmer had rented it, he said. but when his lease ran out he did not renew it. Some effort should be made. he said. to get another tenant farmer. included proposed salary in- creases in staff as well as salaries of regional councillors. At the conclusion of the bud-i get discussions on Friday, Illing-‘ worth urged that all budget‘ estimates go back to committee with a directive that every de- partment aim for a 25 percent cut in its original estimates. This. said the Aurora Mayor. sh ould include councillors‘ salaries. (Members of the re- gional council receive $6,000 a year over and above their salaries as mayors and coun- cillors in their local municipaliâ€" ties.) Rettie told council he expect- ed that when agreements were reached on staff salaries they would be settled for less than the increases that were shown in the estimates for the various departments. TELEPHONE BILL TO HIGH Markham Councillor James Jongeneel too-k exception to telephone costs. He described the $59,000 costs as "stagger- ing", adding. “This is an area which, with ‘a little bit of care could be cut‘" He asked if records were kept of long disâ€" tance calls. It was explained that there are six Newmarket lines and five Metro lines into the ad- ministration building and that long distance calls are kept to a minimum. Any suggestion that there be a reduction in the $10.2 million roads budget was quickly reject- ed. even though it is up $4.6 million over the amount spent on regional roads last year. Regional Chairman Garfield Wright told council the region receives $2 in grants from the province for every $1 it spends on regional roads. The total‘ cost of construction and main- tenance would be $3,151,000 on the regional tax bill. an increase of only $806 over 1971. The in- crease, pointed out Works Com.- mittee Chairman Anthony Ro- ‘man, mayor of Markham, was largely due to the addition of a number of municipal roads to the regional road system. Water and sewage projects} undertaken by the region at an estimated cost of $1.7 million, $314,900 over 1971, would not be charged to the regional tax bill said Roman. These costs would appear on the tax bills of the municipalities were these services are located. CUT LEGAL BUDGET Regional Solicitor Edward Oakes told council it could strike $6.000 off the budget for his department. Additions to staff, said Oakes. would mean that more work could be under- taken by staff. The $6,000 had been intended to pay lawyers in private practise in the region for services in expediting land transactions so that citizens whose properties had been ex- propriated could be paid as quickly as possible. Recommendations for specific cuts got a mixed reception. It was argued that council was sitting as a finance committee simply to review the committee estimates. Councillor J o n- geneel argued, “There is no point in going through it if we are just going to see it. I don‘t believe we can‘t save some- thing." He accused the meet- ing of being “sloppy”. adding, ‘We have to out somewhere." Chairman Wright agreed. "We have to have some concensus before we go to the provincle Manor building on York Re- gional Farm in 'Newmarket. The draft budget showed an esti- mate of $25,000 to demolish the building. Newmarket Mayor Robert Forhan objected. "There is no ooint in tearing down the build- ing just to leave an empty field."' The Air Cadets have been using the first floor and basement and should be allowed to con- tinue to do so. he argued. NOT SAFE FOR SCHOOL Newmarket Councillor Ray Twinney did not agree.‘We have been told the building is un- safe. If anyone gets hurt it would be our responsibility." He agreed that the region: should not spend money on iti this year for demolition or maintenance.

If we let them (the Cadets) use it we are endangering lives." Council agreed not, to de- molish the building this year. NO ASSESSMENT DATA Frustrated by the absence of assessment data. councillors continued to review item by item heeding Mayor Roman‘s warn»- ing, “If we do not have any increase in assessment. any in- crease in the budget will mean an increase in taxes. We are in the dark. we do not know what we can expect in rev- enue." There were objections to levies from the South Lake Simcoe and Metro Conservation Authorities. Aurora Mayor Illingworth pointed out that the Metro levy of $170,100 included $51,983 for the Toronto waterfront develop- ment. The region. said Illing- worth. should appeal the ap- porticnment. “This is a 50 year project," he said and will be a continuing drain on northern municipalities that will derive no benefit from it. Increase in the 1972 levy over 1971 for the Metro authority was listed at $32,800. There is also an increase in the levy for the South Lake Simcoe Authority, from $76,100 to $107,599. Regional Engineer Denne Bosworth explained that, be- cause of the diffculty in deter- mining sources of the water- sheds levies for both authorities are charged over the whole area Explaining a $103,000 in-l crease in the estimates for com- munity planning and develop- ment, Committee Chairman Gladys Rolling, Mayor of East Gwillimbury said the 1971 bud- get was a nine month budget, that the 1972 estimates are for the full year. OFFICIAL PLAN A MUST Planning Commissioner Mur- ray Pound told council his de-t partment had not reached full strength until August. VA $27,- 200 item for professional serv- ices was for consultants, said Pound. These services are necessary to produce the official plan required by the province, he said. It will not be a con- tinuing expense to the region. Estimated cost to the region after deducting revenue from the province and area munici- palities is $57,400. The six municipalities using regional staff for planning will be assess- ed $66.200 in 1972. Committee Chairman Rolling 1said recreation facilities located in reforestation areas are sub- sidized 100 percent by the prov- ince. With the work week get- ting ever shorter, she said, there is a need for more recrea- tion facilities in the region. 0f the total, she said. $50.000 had been committed in 1971. FORESTS FOR RECREATION Support for a $155,000 item for purchase of reforestation land came from surprising sources. Richmond Hill Coun- cillor Donald Plaxton and Mark- ham Councillor Jongeneel. both noted dollar watchers. came out in favor of the purchase. The lands in question, said Jon'geneel. are key pieces needâ€" ed to join properties already owned by the region. "We would have to pay a hell of a lot more in two or three years," said Plaxton. "It is a bargain and we should buy it now." Mayor Illlngworth objected. “What are we doing with this land?" he asked. There is al- ready 3 goodly amount of con- servation and forest land in the region. Of what use will it be to people. he said. if they have to sell their homes to pay taxes His motion that $100,000 be deleted from the reforestation estimates was lost. Councillor Pollock objected that reforestation land is not used by the public, that faced with the need to cut $1 million from he budget council should not be buying more land. Solicitor Oakes told council that in the past forestry had come first, with recreation use secondary in reforesation lands. Now, he said, provincial statute puts recreation on an equal footing. Mayor Romng said it is more advantageous to buy land under the reforestation program than under the conservation program. At present. said Pound, the} AT public uses reforestation land; for snow mobiling and horse-'LIMBER r’s back riding. but that recreation? programs can be expanded. ‘ BRITISH MOTORS LTD.
