■■■ S Ken Says... Kenneth "KKV Lyall needs your help and your vote .... and the vote of your family, to become Mayor of the Town of Newcastle in the Monday, December 6th election. A change ip the Town Hall is needed. * .. "As 1976 taxes on homes, farms and businesses have risen above acceptability, the people of the New Town of Newcastle need a hard hitting, outspoken, new Mayor to lead council in thé' direction of holding the line on Town taxes and to work with Regional and School Board officials to bring their tax dollar spending to acceptable levels." T have a few political promises that I make concerning my efforts to be Mayor of Newcastle : 1.1 will strive with all my might to convince the new council to hold the line on Town spending that has risen from $6.5 million in 1974 to $7,8 million in 1975 and $9.4 million in 1976. 2. I promise to lead a drive to cut political red tape that prevents young people from building their homes. 3.1 promise to lead Council to temper our ridiculous Town Planning process that has cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands df dollars uselessly. For instance instance the Town Planning; deficit amounted to $142,- 179 in 1975.' 4. I promise to put all my energies to the completion of projects to supply needed needed housing for Senior Citizens • - projects that have been spoken of for -'ears, projects that the overnment want to see completed but are no nearer completion now than they were in 1971."

For BOARD of EDUCATION Ward 3 This letter is to seek your support for myself as a Trustee on the Northumberland-Newcastle Board of education representing Ward 3 in the Town of Newcastle. As one of yoür representatives on the Board for the past two years, I have worked diligently on your behalf. The major criticism I have heard was concerning administration salaries and in defense- of this issue perhaps some statistics produced by the Minister of education would help. Of the seven boards ip our Region, the administration costs on a percentage basis of our, Board's costs is 1.58 percent of our budget. The next lowest to us is Hastings with 1.69 percent with Frontenac, the highest with 2.80 percent. No Board is lower. A second complaint concerns the levy of property taxation for education which increased by approximately 20 percent. The reason for this increase was that the teachers received a 28 percent 'raise which brought them in line with the rest of toe province. Hydro went up 22 percent with transportation, fuel and other costs also ipcreasing, Another factor was that the Provincial government dropped their share of grants by $1,305,525. ' ' Aa a property taxpayer it is my feeling that the cost of education should 6e related to the benefits that society accrues from well-prepared, functioning yopng people and that the cost should 'be shared by a much wider tax base. It is my contention that the provincial government should , support educational costs to a .much larger extent from general revenues. Vote G. W. CAMERON
