A request from East Gwillim- bury that York Regional Coung cil support its resolution calling for a pilot spray irrigation project to be located in the township, was agreed to by re- ‘gional council in session July The resolution further stated that the project be constructed to meet all provincial, regional and municipal specifications, with the developer paying the costs. A spray irrigation type of pollution control system was recommended by the Ontario Water Resources Commission as a means of solving the type of pollution experienced in the township. the resolution said. The OWRC had also approved establishment of that type of sewage works in East Gwillim- bury. Richmond Hill Councillor Donald Plaxton said that all council was discussing was whether the project went into East Gwillimbury or not. Making the motion for the resolution was East Gwillim- bury Mayor Gladys Rolling. "I can just see a hundred houses going up and then it (the spray system) doesn’t work. Then what do we do?” he asked. If the developer paid for it. it was all the better. “If it doesn’t work. we will have found out,” Mr. Plaxton said. 13 Aurora Mayor Dick Illing- worth said he wouldn‘t be pre- pared to accept anything that was “tied into the developer." 884-1013 364-2625 RUMBLE TRANSPORT MOTOROLA DAILY SERVICE RICHMOND HILL T0 TORONTO Local and Long Distance C.C.M. & Raleigh Bicycles Repairs to All Makes A Complete Line of Sporting Goods 25 Yonge Street South Richmond Hill, 884-1213 Sporting Goods Eric’s Cycle and Sports Shop P.C.V.

Nader contends that the property tax becomes op« pressive to homeowners be- cause private pressure groups are favored through such practices as underlist- ing. under-assessment, prom- iscuous exemptions, abate- ment fixing, uncollected de- linquencies and industrial "tax havens" and parasitic feeding off the collection process by banks and finan- cial institutions. He asserts that by invest- ing in various types of prop- erty, a “wealthy person can The arguments presented by Gaffney and Nader ap- pear convincing; (1) The property tax can be a pro- gressive one if properly ad- ministered. t2) The proper- ty tax simply will not fade away: the $40 billion annual revenue it produces in the USA. cannot be replaced by any other method. (3) Even minor property tax reduction will come about only through the imposition of regressive taxes such as the value-add- ed sales tax and payroll tax increases. It would be ironic indeed sulted from pressure, favori- tism or error. The provincial government has made provision for the relief from a large portion of the education costs from the senior citizens. whether they take advantage of it or not. and is providing a sub- stantial percentage of the costs through the grant sys- tem.

Flying over a huge moose â€" the pilot getting as close to him as possible â€" we had a ‘bird’s eye view’ that was unbelievable! (No doubt the same feeling we had on viewing “North of Superior”, at Ontario Place.) Before leaving Dr. Martinello’s lovely office in the new Bayview Lane plaza, which his wife, Judy (nee Palmer) had, along with his parents decorated and furnished while he was up north, we saw some of the “tools” of his profession. Colored “candy beads” employed in testing the children’s eyes. Vis- ual characters: such as a birthday cake, a hand, a duck, a pony, a star or a moon -â€" all used for pre- schoolers in the recognition and near-point tests. How is the terrain? “All bush, with small roll- ing hills, and many small lakes . . . no roads . . . but very, very beautiful country inteed.” There are no “hotels” so far north; so visiting doctors stay either on the nursing stations or in small cabins or tents. “In the evening, the children and their parents come to visit.” (Continued from Page 2) a success. The nurses, in charge of nursing stations throughout the North, as well as the teachers. are very community-minded and are doing a wonderful job up there". And Dr. Martinello told us he is always pleased to talk to parent-groups who have pre-school children. If any group would like to line this interesting speaker up for the fall â€" just call his office in Thornhill (889-1710). He will give you any infor- mation you wish to have about keeping your child- ren’s eyes healthy. Dr. Gaffney stated that a properly administered prop- erty tax will catch all of these indications of a man's wealth, noting that “while the small owner cannot hide his ownership, wealthy fami- lies wear several guises: banks, insurance companies, corporations. estates, utili- ties, etc. Property is assign- ed to children and relatives got split income. Rarely are these veils pierced â€" but we can be quite certain that tax- es are paid on each individ- ual piece of property." (Continued from page 2) lake frontage and sites for future building.
