the villages annexation application Council in prepared state ment said that without annexa tion local taxes would have risen by about 25 mills for residential properties and by about mills for commercial properties to reflect higher school board and county levies The increases said council include 25 mill decrease in the cost of garbage collection and disposal However this council and the previous council who iii itiated the annexation deem such application essential to the future social and economic viability of the villlage and decisive factor in its ability to continue to exist in the future council said Council also said the increase is onetime increase only needed to pay for the applica tion hearing set for later this year Stevens critical of bill reorganizing airline Conservative finance critic Sinclair Stevens has condemn ed proposed changes in Air Canadas corporate structure which he feels would permit directors to run the nations airline from the comfort of their living rooms In his weekly report to consti tuents Stevens said Otto Lang transport minister has includ ed two provisions of the Business Corporation Act in his proposed Act to Reorganize Air Canada which would allow Air Canada directors to conduct business and formulate policy in absenlia without even the necessity of showing up for board meet iiigs Those provisions said Stevens are of some benefit to small businessmen But were never intended to apply to billion dollar companies and they were certainly never in tended to apply to crown cor poriilion He termed the proposals misguided in light of $56 million in losses suffered by the airline over the past three years Weve Moved Carlas Fruit Stand NOW AT Wardens Fina Station Bayfield Street Open Thurs Fri Sat mm to Pd Formerly of Candles and Boyfiold 1n the last two years Stevens said Air Canada has lost $34 million while Northwest Airlines privately owned airline of about the same size has made $100 million The big difference lies in their payrolls he said Air Canada employs about twice as many people as Northwest Part of the problem Stevens said is that the federal govern ment packs Air Canadas board of directors with political ap pointees and party hacks rather than with capable and available Canadians who have knowledge and expertise in the aviation field By permitting absentee directors Stevens said the government is taking another step in reducing Air Canadas board to rubber stamp body with little or no say in airline management For these reasons he said he has introduced motion in the Commons to delete the sections of the Reorganization bill that permit an Air Canada director to stay at home and still receive hispay Forgraves efforts recognized The efforts of Mike Forgrave were formally recognized Monday when Mayor Ross Archer presented the 19yearold Barrie athlete with plaque at meeting of city council Forgrave has brought distinction to Barrie with national honors in track He will

ac cording to Dr Rynard PC Simeoe North Rynard said the elaborate decorations for the show were reasonably well done but the $35 million cost of the show was only the tip of the iceberg In his weekly report from parliament hill Dr Rynard notes that none of the political party leaders or the Prime Minister took part in the open ing ceremony Bamey Danson minister of national defence was thrown into the breach to represent the government To start things off in grand formation air force jets in fighting formation were to fly past the parliament buildings but they were 10 minuteslate Mr Danson was kept holding the fort Mr Danson spoke in English but when he tried to speak in French knew the words but no one understood him Rynard questions how much the event actually cost Would $10 million cover everything He urgues this was tax payers money spent for the people of Ottawa and any tourists that might have been around EQUALWOLYMPICS If the same money were spent in every city in Canada the

floundered costs would equal that of the Olympics he said adding even members of parliament ada Day were home in iidiiigs Any amateur show would have attracted as many people Rynard said adding their hearts would have been in it and millions of dollars would have been saved Rynard said Canada was formed by an act of faith rather than economic or trade reasons He questions whether Canadians have lost faith in their government and religion Canadians dont take politics as seriously any more he said Have we lost faith in ourselves destroyed by gross materialism that demands more than we earn Can we re dedicate ourselves to the faith of our forefathers If we can not if we have not the will to do so we might as well give up the fight and slide into the oblivion that awaits us their own

entire cost Lawrence Campbell was to have paid onethird of $755 bill for repairs to broken sewer lateral pipe on city property in front of his home with the city and Kozlov developer of Camp bells subdivision to split the rest But Campbell despite city policy making the homeowner responsible for sewer laterals regardless of the property line has argued that he had no con trol over construction of the pipe and should not have to pay any part of the repairs If were in his shoes would feel exactly the same way he feels Ald Alex Arthur said of Campbell Ald Ernie Holman wants city officials to look into ex tenninaling groundhogs in city parks but his motion to that effect at Mondays council meeting drew more levitv than summrt Ald Rotman said neighbor in his ward is losing most of his

Camp bell of payment began with motion from Ald Ross Stephens that the city pay Campbells share out of the subdividers contribution fund lotlevies He withdrew the motion in favor of motion by Ald Janice Laking that costs be split 5050 between the city and Kozlov and she in turn withdrew her motion in favor of Ald Arthurs motion that Kozlov pay the whole shot Ald Arthurs mo tion passed Not mentioned during the debate was the fact that part of the bill probably somewhat less than onethird was in curred when city workmen dug in the wrong place on the first try at fixing the sewer This fact was brought out in earlier council discussion of the issue He got little sympathy Ald Janice Laking said her own garden is plagued by groundhog despite its loca tion some distance from the park She also asked whether Ald Rotman had anything in mind for squinels which she said are also problem Ive been plagued by rab bits eating all my stuff said Ald Gord Mills another gardener He suggested

traditional requirement for subdivision approval in Barrie is completely improper and il legal lawyer for developer told city council Monday David White lawyer for Rockford Developments said his client will go to the Ontario Municipal Board if necessary to fight demand for 089 acres of parkland in an 89unit 107 acre subdivision at the northwest corner of Bayview Drive and Little Avenue The proposed subdivision contains 0825 acres of parkland and Rockford is be ing asked to pay about $4000 to make up the difference White said the Flaming Act authorizes municipalities to de mand only five per cent of the land in subdivision for parks requirement he said his client has exceeded by more than 12000 square feet in this case Alteniatively bylaw under section 35 of the act could allow the city to demand one acre for each 120 units but the city has no such bylaw City policy however calls for one acre for each 100 units and White said he is absolute ly amazed the policy has not been challenged before He said developers have pro bably accepted the policy rather than absorb the cost of approval delays Top seed earns win TORONTO CP Top seeded Harry Fritz an Ameri can now living in
