We are convinced, however, that if the York board which certainly knows more about the borough education than the Metro board, presents its case with logic and compassion, the senior board should be prepared to settle for a compromise. taxes on food, clothing and drugs, the Ontario Legislature‘s select committee..on. taxation has exposed itself for whatâ€" it really is=brutal and It is merely another plan to soak the oppressed poor who are already overtaxed by the Federal and Provincial governmentts. . â€"â€" â€" _ The chairman of this select committee, John White (PC London South) has done the people of Ontario a grave disservice and we trust that it will be remedied soon by Premier John Robarts. > White contends that tax on a child‘s shoes and. bread and milk: won‘t injure those at â€"the lower income levels because they will be grantedâ€"tax What this man apparently fails to realize is that the middle and low income groups yeild over 80 But school board still has a major challenge ahead in persuading the Metro board to settle for another school site. The board‘s decision proves that elected officials can be moved if ratepayers are aroused and criticize the politicians and trustees for falling down on the job. per cent of the taxes collected by this province and therefore the chief burden of his foodâ€"clothingâ€"drug taxation scheme must inevitably fall on them. When people like John White advocate taxing the very essentials of life it is time for the people to lash back and say "enough." â€" The entire neighbourhood around the George Syme school therefore owes chairman Dr. Ronald Christie and the school board a vote of thanks for at least delaying its decision to expropriate until negotiations can be conducted with Metro school board on whether an alternate site may be found to build the new school. This is exactly what happened when the York board of education decided in July to expropriate some 42 homes to enlarge the George Syme public school building and the playground around it. Sometimes when school board or municipal council makes an arbitrary decision to expropriate private homes for public purposes, the wrath of the whole community turns on the publically elected officials. If Premier Robarts‘ . government seriously entertains the select committee‘s broader based tax scheme, it will be the responsibility of the Opposition to pounce on the government with all the force that was used when former Attorney General Fredrick Cass introduced his notorious police bill a few years ago.

Looking out, I saw a hydro pole which had rotted and falien down putting hydro wires over the lawns and driveways.
