This loss of revenue by the city of Waterloo, and all other municipalities in the province is a result of the passage of Bill 127 in the Provincial Legislature. When the bill was given first reading, it was my responsibility to do the reâ€" search on it for the Liberal party. After personal study of the legislation, I then did what the government reâ€" fused to do. I consulted with â€" municipal leaders, here and in other areas, and found that my earlier susâ€" picions were confirmed. In this bill were many amendâ€" ments to the assessment act, which denied local auâ€" tonomy, added a new layer of bureaucracy to the asâ€" sessment appeal procedure, (making it almost useless for the average home owner to appeal his assessment) and froze assessment until 1974 in many instances.

Flying hood It is very rare for a car hood to fly up when in motion, but it can happen and can be a panicâ€"making situation. The Ontario Safeâ€" ty League points out that with some cars when the hood is up there is enough gap under the hinge for you to glimpse the road ahead, and retain directionâ€" al control while braking. Before starting your next trip, lift up the hood and check your visibility from the driving seat.

The N.D.P. on this bill, and votes and proceedings of July 19, 1971 records that only the Libâ€" eral party opposed it. The matter of Regional Government in Waterloo County has been under disâ€" cussion for the past five years. We have had stuâ€" dies, reports, and more studies. In fact millions of dollars worth. The final reâ€" sult has been the governâ€" ment proposal which was released last spring. Yes, local autonomy is a big issue in this election. Have you noticed on your new assessment form that it is now necessary for citizens in Waterloo to apâ€" peal an assessment to a newly created bureaucrat in Cayuga, Ont. Comments on this propoâ€" sal were invited by the government and at present, there the matter rests. Since the government proâ€" posal release, many people are beginning to question the financial implications of the â€"regional â€" government implication. The failure of the Niagara regional govâ€" ernment to function and the problems of St. Catharines, wanting to opt out have creâ€" ated many second thoughts. Mr. Bales of course, was required to pass special legislation to provide one million dollars to keep the Niagara region from a fiâ€" nancial disaster.

All of this was required because the government not consider or study the financial implications before implement actions. One would have thought the Conservative governâ€" ment would have learned a lesson. After Mr. Bales proâ€" mforthlsar‘umre it was apparent that no in depth study had been made of the financial impliâ€" cation. 4 My first concern was to figure out how the new arâ€" eas would be affected by the _ Regional Municipal Grants Act. To do this, the population, area in acâ€" res, and equalized rateable assessment of the proposed enquiry, explain my amazeâ€" ment when the department of Municipal Affairs inâ€" formed me that no one had bothered to figure out the area in acres of the new Woolwichâ€"Elmira area, nor had the equalized assessâ€" ment of the new area been calculated. required. I can scarcely on It is unbelieveable that a government would expect intelligent consideration of a proposal, when it would be impossible to know what grant structure would afâ€" fect the new area, or what levies would be expected of the new areas by the Reâ€" gional Government. _ The fact that the government proposal contained only one page of financial explanaâ€" tion is evidence of their lack of interest by the govâ€" ernment in really telling the people what benefits might be expected. Because of the failure of the regional governments already imposed by D‘Arcy McKeough to provide even former levels of service without great increases in costsâ€"a Liberal government would place a moratorium on further establishing new region governments until our plan to transfer 80% of education costs to the Proâ€" vince is put into operation.
