Ellie lliarrir Examiner Published by Canadian Newspaper Company Limited to Baylield Street Barrie Ontario Robb PublisherGeneral Manager Walls Editor Emeritus Henshaw Managing Editor 4The Barrie Examiner Tuesday August 24 1976 Municipalities are starting to talk about taxes There is only one thing duller than paying taxes And that is talking about them that unless taxes and the municipal tax structure in Ontario we are all going to wind up paying more and more and more Municipal councillors from across Ontario gathered recently in Toron to to discuss municipal finance The picture given of municipal financial structure as it now is was It is obvious though we talk about grim There were solutions suggested And as every taxpayer knows solutions are It will be shock to most tax discover municipalities do not have credit payers to rating At every municipal election there is always at least one candidate who businesslike says he will bring practices to city hall Acredit rating Andif like The custom now The is basic business practice It does far more than tell other the financial state of city it tells the citv just what it is worth credit rating can be as indispensa of Ianning as an official lan re is then the prob of fun ding capital projectsroads buildings swimming pools and the is for municipality to borrow in the form of bonds and to repay the loan with interest over several years Not too much different than the principle behind credit cards political reason for debenture debt is that all taxpayers now and in the future should pay for projeo ts which will be around for 20 years OTSO that blea tool to finances Theli seen IhEERPRETING THE NEWS Why the US reaction to slayings was cautious By GEORGE KITCHEN UNITED NATIONS CP The United States appears to have reacted with cautious re straint so far as the United Na tions is concerned to the Ko rean border incident in which two of its army officers were clubbed to death by North Ko reans The American mission drew the incident to the attention of the LN Security Council but stopped short of demanding fullscale Council meeting The representation merely asked the Council to take note of this vicious unprovoked barbaric act Several reasons have been suggested for the American re straint One is the fact that net ther North Korea nor South Korea are members of the and debate without the pres ence of the North Koreans would provide little satisfaction for the American government one TOKYO HeutervA peaceful revolution is taking flare among some of Japans ight young people in the was 38e 8MP

deciding where to put people SASKATOON tCPl Where is Saskatoon going Not into the towns around it if people there have their way nor sprawling into the coun tryside if planners can help it Eighteen months ago plan ners offered solution to the citys growing painsa new concept in urban growth in volving the use of satellite com munities City council passed the sug gestion on to study group which gave it to committee which has yet to be formed In essence nothing is being done to prepare for the citys future growth the problems facing planners and the effects on sur rounding areas Planners warn that in 10 years the citys doors will clang shut unless large amounts of money are spent in the interim The question is how that monev should be spent Should it go into extending BEYOND ENERGY PEI is looking hard at selfsufficient home SPRY POINT PEl CP Prince Edward Islanders look at their experimental solar home on this windswept nor thern shore as the first step toward changing lifestyle We want to get back to more individual units says Dr John Maloney the softspoken energy minister for the island province Things are so in tegrated now any mad man can disrupt the works The federallyiinanced project here costing an estimated 3354000 aims at demonstrating how food elec tricitg and heating can be prov ed in single housing unit The principle is much wider than just finding new sources of energy said Mr Maloney he showed visiting federal energy officials through the woodframcbuilding But he agrees that finding new energy sources is impor tant in this province of 110000 where electric power costs are 22 times the national average COSTS SKYHOCKETIII These costs skyrocketed in recent years with the price of oil the fuel used to fire the ther mal generating stations that supply all of the islands elec tricity Its very exciting in novation as far as the country is concerned said federal Energy Minister Alastair Gillespie Im happy to see the province take look at renewable resources Its far sighted approach He sees the experiments as part of his campaign to make How Newfoundland was able to cope and enjoy excellent tourist season By JAMES HlSSEY Canadian Press Correspondent ST JOHNS Nfid tCPl Despite the com tition from the Montreal ymnpjics and prices for gas accom mrritomdation Newfoundland is en joying an excellent tourist sea sonthis summer And next summer may even be better when St Johns the capital will be host for the Can ada Summer Games Officials say they expect the 1976 season to be equal to or better than the 1975 season But with the summer games as drawing card next season is ex ted to equal the i974 Con ration Year when one mil lion tourists visited the prov ince As in other years visitors to the province are mainly from other parts of Canada or the United States but many have come from as far as Australia West Germany Switzerland England France and Italy The provinces parks are at tracting an ever increasing number of visitorsespecially historic Signal Hill near the capital where 102000 tourists watched ships entering and de one Smaller outport parks are also being discovered Castle Hill National Park on Placentia Bay had 24000 visitors regiS tered to June 30 compared with 17500 for the same period last year PROGRAM LAUNCHED To make sure it will not lose out on revenue from local trav partingI from St Johns harbor dunig ellers the tourism rtment has launched an vertising rogram to get New oundlanders to spend their idays in the province The of the cam ign is twofold said Minister Tom Hickev domestic tourist trade keeps dollars at home and secondly Newfoundlanders are being educated to see their own provincefirst One area of the province where unexpected visitors are not too welcome is the town of Churchill Falls in Labrador spokesman for Churchill Falls Labrador Corporation said Churchill Falls is com pany and businessoriented town and has limited ac commodation for tourists The Newfoundland Hydro road was not meant as road for public tramportation It has no provision for meals accom modation or vehicle mainte nance and concern is fell over the increased number of private vehicles travelling on the road from Goose Bay He said private vehicles and tourists need permission to en ter the Churchill Falls area At present people entering the town are causing offtctals some embarrassment but this can be avoided by reaching offi cials who it ill if possible make arrangements for visitors to ob tain necessary clearance and advise the town when they can beexpected HOSTELS SOUGHT Meanwhile the province is looking for permanent hostels here and in some other centres spokesman for the New foundland Hostel Association said all officials feel it is time that serious consideration is given to the idea of permanent yearround hostels in the prov ince as some of Canadas major centres have He said the federal govern ment is giving some thought to the matter and such move maybe accomplished this year This years program which includes Six hostels in larger centres and five minihostels in outport communities was made possmle by grants totalling Stilt102 from the department of the secretary of state for the main hostels and 82000 from the provinCial government for the mini hostels Last year about 3500 people were accommodated on prov incewide basis and officials ex pect these figures to be ex ceeded before the program en ds this year on Sept End of the World Hostel former United Church chil drens home here can accom modate 60 persons night and last year put up about 1400 the fee is $2 night and 25 cents for breakfast STAY LIMITED The hostel has threenight limit for any one person which is requirement under the fed eral program However as St Johns is considered an endof theroad stop some extension can be arranged services to develop the edges of the city Should it go to developing some of the towns and villages around Saskatoon into cities Should it be used to estab lish new city in the empty space about 30 miles from Sas katoon Or should it be used to set up proplanned major suburbs satellites well beyond Saska toon but still part of the city the country more selfreliant in energy supply especially to wean the cast away from oillt fired power stations Ottawa he said is already reassessing tidal power in Nova Scotia and windpower for the Magdalen Islands It also plans to evaluate the remaining hydroelectric potential in Labr ador MIGHT BURN PEAT It is spending $2 million on study of energy resources in New Brunswick including the possibility of burning peat from the provinces bogs to fire ther mal generating stations With an ener price crisis already on his oorstep PrcL mier Alex Campbell of PEI set up an Institute of Man and his Resources last year to study other forms of energy What we are really trying to do is change our thinking both from homeowners and con struction com any point of view said An Wells execu tive director of the institute and former chief aide to the pre mier Mr Wells hopes the project here built with the technical aid of the New Alchemy In stitute of Woods Hole Mass will show people what can be done with existing technology and materials WILL RESEARCH The long glassfront wooden building includes living area as well as laboratory to carry out further research Heat from the sun collected in solar panels and stored in ei ther rock or water beneath the building will warm the struc ture and its adjoming green house In one corner of the green house stands 190tDgallon tank where fish will be raised for food Electric power will come from windmill yet to be built on the windy shores of the Gulf of St Lawrence The province hopes the unit will be selfcontained sup plying its own heat electricity and food requirements from the greenhouse and fish farm They may even be able to get cash through sale of either the fish or any excess power the windmills produce says Energy Minister Malonev In 10 years officials say no more houses can be built on the citys west side unless $10 mil lion is spent to bring trunk sewer line to what now is open country Existing lines cannot be extended indefinitely and new lines have to run from the river bypassing existing areas to each new housing On the east side few less million will provide sewer system to the 16 quarter sec tions of land recently pur chased by the city Whether it is to save money or to stop the problems associ ated with bigcity life an al most universal feeling is that the city is already too big an dgrowth should stop when the population reaches 200000it now is about 130000 report from Bert Wellman planning and development di rector and Ron Cope city plan ner suggests looking to subur ban development that would be rt of the city yet selfsuf icient and far enough away so that it would be neither bed room community nor new form of urban sprawl The report recommended the city stop growing when existing trunk sewer capacities are filled ROAD WOULD CONNECT Anyone moving to Saskatoon then would go to preplanned suburban city 25 miles away This city would have its own in dustry and commerce schools and recreation and services but would remain part of Saskatoon major road would connect the two keeping them within one political boundary When the suburb reached population of 50000 its growth would be complete The main advantage of the satellitecity concept the plan ners said would be that Saska toon would not lose its tax base and could have industry go to the satellites taking people withit From it soon angle Mr Wellman says psople in the satellite communities would not need to come to Saskatoon to work shop or for recreation except for major attractions This would avmd the coni muter syndrome the massive sprawling downtown of other buddings and stores the indus trial pail from concentration of plants and the deterioration of socml life that often accom panles highdensuy livmg Harold Iyck deputy minister of urban affairs in the provincial government said the growthstudy committees first job would be detailed cost analysis of growth and the methods of handling growth After gaining thorough un derstanding of the cost re quired he said the committee must examine the social sco nomic and physical factors in volved in any alternative used to deal with growing city pop
