council voted against joint funding plan Final ratification is now needed from rillia city council March 12 The airport is not priority item in Orillia Mayor David MacDonald told The Examiner Thursday We think an airport is good idea he said But it is not top priority item strictly from financial point of view We dont feel well be able to contemplate such venture for at least 10 years he said He said rillia needed quick decision on the matter rather then make Barrie wait We understand Barrie has progressed long way in their airport study he said Barrie Mayor Ross Archer member of the airport advisory committee said Thursday the process should be quickened The committee is now exv amining four potential sites for new airport Two of those sites are in On and the other two are in Vespra township new airport is needed in Barrie bscause the current air port is too small said Mayor Archer Some of the expert pilots have told me the airport is very difficult to fly in and out of he said The committee will select site and submit its recommen dations to council Mayor Archer said it is quite possible the provincial government will ask Barrie to conduct study on the selected site Mayor Archer would not predict when the submission would be ready to go before council But the sooner the better he said We should be getting on with it particularly if were going to set aside money in this years budget Summerfest continuing never cancelled says committee chairman By LORI COHEN Of The Examiner BARCLAY Summerfest 1979 is on in Innisfil Township and the committee chairman said there was never any ques tion that it wouldnt be Council broke law BARCLAY Innisfil Township broke the law in 1978 through what the township recreation coordinator terms an honest mistake Larry Morrow said the township allowed the Sum merfest committee to charge $1 per vehicle entering liinisfil Beach Park during Sum merfest It later learned the Parks Assistance Act stipulates that no less than $2 the fee set by the ministry of natural resources for day use of parks can be charged for admisson to the park Township residents are excempt from the charge It was an honest mistake Morrow said Im pretty knowledgable in these matters and never gave it thought Innisfil Beach Park is municipal park which receives support from the provincial government for capital projects that meet the provinces Cillttiil In order to be eligible for this funding the municipali ty must ensure the park meets certain stipulations like charg ing correct entrance fees suggestion by Reeve Bill illllnS tht the township pror vidc this years Summcrfest committee With larger loan than last year and retain gate receipts should be given careful consideration Morrow said Fees are the committees big revenue maker he said Morrow said the township will have to examine how much the committee made through gate fees and determine how this difference could be made Eclipse Board warns children Simcoc County students

through borrowing good idea planner By RICHARD THOMAS if The Examiner Borrowing money at higher interest rate to pay off mor tgagc can not only reduce the debt period but also result lil tremendous savings local financial planner told members of the Association of lrofes sional Engineers of tlntario Vcdnesday Sid Dickinson of Dickinson and Alexander in Barrie told about 40 association meiiibeis laying off your mortgage is good investment Dickinson said the holder of current mortgage worth $40000 at 12 per cent would end up paying back almost $107000 over the 35 year amortization period based on monthly payincntsofSill Making privilege pay ment of an additional $1000 year borrowed from bank at 13 per cent would reduce the mortgage period to years and decrease the cost to about $85000 said Dickinson You would save 2i years and more than $00000 in interest he said Two mortgages are often bet ter than one because the debt can be split and the amortixa tion period shortened Dickiii son said It may cost bit more per month but if you can swing it you will be better off he said lucst speaker at an associa tion dinner Dickinson outlined to members several methods of saving money and reducing taxes through such options as Registered Retirement Savings llans tRRSlt and other popular tax shelters As source of retirement in come an RRSI was more advantageous investment than bonds as the payments into the plan wcr tax deductible and there was no tax on the accrued capital or annual interest said Dickinson Bonds are liable to tax on both thc capital and interest based on the holders current income tax rate he said The strength of an thSl lies in the magic of compound in terest Dickinson said But to make these numbers work you must choose the right invest ment Buying stocks through an RRSI was bad investment Dickinson said as they are liable to capital gains tax when sold Sonic insurance companies will charge commission for their retirement plans whereas trust companies do not he said To get the maximum out of an RRSI you must be very careful in selecting the right vehicle The financial planner said in come splitting was becoming an increasingly popuiar method of tax shelter and is best liandlv ed through an interest free do inaiid loan Rather than pay taxes on savr ed capital husband can lend it to his wife who can then in vest it and claim the interest as part of her income usually at lower tax rate Dickinson said Investments in hotels motels movies and oil and gas exploration are other excellent tax shelters in some cases creating losses which can be written off against personal in come tax said Dickinson But one guideline you must remember is that the tax shelter must stand on its own two feet as an investment he told association
