S EA L M. Fraser ACTING SECRETARY M The government reeognized ithat the local tax base carried too much of the finaneiing burden for the provincial-municipal sect- or as a whole, Minister of Mun- icipal Affairs, Darcy McKeough told members of the Northumnber- land Progressive Conservative As- sociation at the annual mieetingc held in Warkwortih recentIy. The minister, outlining the pro- vincial tax refonms, said the un- due refiance on prope.rty taxation was clearly indicated by the con- linuing financial squeeze on mun- icipalities and the increasing de- mands for provincial relief. "A major reform objective of the province, therefore, is to in- crease its financial au pport .for local governments in order to -e- duce the burden of financing which f ails upon the slow-.grow- ing and oppressive property tax"I he said. Ontario intended to i-aise its average level of support for ele- mentary and secondai-y education Gainiing Practical Experience Grade 12 students of the Com- mercial Course at Clarke High School are gaining some practical experience with placement in of- fices of local businesses through- out the area. Students are now working in to 60 per cent over a three-year period, beginning in 1970 and '71. At present the province's legis- lative grants provided about - 45 perceént of sehool board finances. The increase in provincial sup- port, of education would, repre- sent a permnanent Èhift in financ- ing fmn the local tax baue to the provincial tax ba".s. Mr. McKeough sa-id the long- run goal of the province was to as'3sume a larger-shaire of the fin- ancing for other local se rvices as well. This cauld not be ach- ieved immdiately eas h Province siinply (bd not have the financiail resources to make ia- creased transfers. As the new tax system hegan to produce additional revenues, some of it would be transferred to local governments in the form of inereased grants and pay- nients: "if the end result la simp- ly increasing local spending, this will neessitate centrai review and control measures."1 Property taxation in Ontario stood in need of fundamental re- formII, perbaPS' more so, than any other areas. As the Smith Coin-, mni'tee and the Select Committee clearly showed, the present prop- erty tax was grossly unfair and inefficient. The proposed Provincial actions to reduce the burden of finianiag hie said, which feil on the proper- ty tax and to offset its regressiv- ity via personal income tax cred- 1-ts would substantially help thc shortcomiings. "Reforni of asses&ment 15 the mosit=cruia foc it is the founda. tion upon which subsequent re- forma ia the other areas must be based," lie sajd.
