Also the industries will flot be using the full floor space at first and Port Hope recagnizes this qbj granting a compensating reduc. tion. Fjxed assessmcnts are flot new Mr. Budge painted out and went an ta say, "Part Hope has given fixed assessments to eligible industries withirn the town as far back as 1897." Bowmanviile's Arguments Speaking on behaif of Bow- manville, Ken Morris, secre- tary-manager af the Bowman. ville Chamber of Commerce, stated that -he sympathized with all industries in financial difficuhty but saw fia reason ta believe that Port Hope in- dustries are in distress. Mr. Marris asked why the industries built larger factor- ies than thcy necded for the present. The anly reason he saw is that building costs are increasing and by building now the industries can make tre- mendous savings. He went on ta say that the industries are naw asking far another sizeable savings through fixed assess- ment. No Apparent Pressure At least twa of the factories are nearing campletion and Mr. Morris saw fia way in whicli the industries could bring pres- sure on Part Hope sînce it is very improbable that they' wauld have left if flot granted the fixed assessment. It would be different if Port Hope was isalated and its de- (Continued an page seven) To Run Special Bus For Ice Foulies Show With Lynne Bagne!! Bowmanvihle's talenled young 18-year-ald f-igure--skater, Miss Lynne Bagneli, will be- seen next week at Maphe Leaf Gar- dens when the famous Shipslads and Johnson Ice Follies plays an engagement in Toronto from Jan. 28 ta Feb. 1 inclusive.

Good luck, Lynne. Many Bowmanville friends will b. watching you with admiration. Pradded an by Port Hope's plan ta place three of its in- dustries on a l0-year fixed as- sesment pragram, Bawmanviile reprcesentatives challenged Part Hope's authority ta carry out such action. They charged that it cauld bring infinite harm ta this area at the monthly Zone 2 meeting of the Lake Ontario Development Association. Bowmanville Goodyear Tire & Rubber Plant were hast ta this Zone meeting which was held in the Goodyear Board Room on Wednesday evening of last week. Priar ta the meet- ing visitors were conducted an a tour of the plant and servcd refreshments by the Cafeteria staff. $100,000 Loss At the recent municipal elec- tion Part Hope ratepayers voted approval ta granting three af its industriies, Nichalsan File, Mathews Canveyar and A.M.F. (Atomics) Ltd., a tax decrease that will amount ta over $100,- 000 during the next ten years. Bowmanville fears that other municipalities in this area will be forced ta offer fixed assessments to campete with New Officers To Be Elected For Chamber Port Hope and this, Bowman- ville contcnded, will result in an inevitable price war with municipalities offering attrac- tive but unrealistic assessments. The one ta suffer from such action will be the taxpayer wha is already carrying the tax burden rather than industry who can well afford ta pay its share. Definition Reeve Reid Budge, Part Hope, ini defending his tawn's right ta institute fixed assessment de- fined it as, "A portion of an assessment which may be re- duced for flot more than a 10- year period in recognition of valuable consideration from an industry."~ He explained that the assess- ment is fixed and nat the tax roll. It is illegal he continued ta offer fixed assessments as in- ducements ta industries and moraaover an îndustry in Ontario can't move ta another lacality hoping ta receive tax redue- tians. Befare granting fixed assess- ments it is necessary ta solicit the full approval of the rate- payers. Fixed assessment he painted out is a good indication that the tawn is really interest- ed in an îndustry. An important condition of fixed assessment is that it can- not be granted ta an industry mare than once unless that in- dustry should move ta another location. Not Yet éjn Tax Roi! In the case of Port Hope Mr.. Budge stated that the indus- tries are maving into new plants Figure Skatérs Busy Preparing for Carnival Hallowe'en will have witches, gliosts, goblins and ather sprites in a cleverly amusing display.
