Mr. nmittee may er uuf SNREEIENIEN York and North York taxpayers will be expected to provide 27 percent of the property tax needed to help finance Metro Council‘s $321,487,000 operating general budget this year. York‘s four percent share of the Metro property tax levy amounts to $7,969,000 while North York will be expected to provide $40,901,000 out of a total Metro property tax levy in excess of $177,000,000 on the city and five boroughs. Etobicoke‘s contribution of the Metro general budget will be 15 percent or $27,548,000. When Etobicoke, North York and York‘s share of the Metro general budget are combined they exceed the contribution by the city. The three municipalities have 13 members on Metro Council compared to 12 for the city. North York Controllee Mel Lastman complained to Metropolitan council last week about the expected $260,000 deficit in the operation of O‘Keefe Centre this year. Metro has taken over the theatre from a private company. He said Metro should try and get s..ows for O‘Keefe that people will come to see, shows that are a little more daring than have been shown in the past at O‘Keefe. Metro Chairman Ab Campbell admitted that maybe O‘Keefe could have some shows that it wouldn‘t dare show five years ago. Mr. Lastman lost out in his bid to have Metro council look for someone in the private enterprise field to: take over operation of the theatre. He said Metro government shouldn‘t be in showbusiness.

The photo at right shows what some our Eglinton Avenue businesses are doing to help the borough â€" just piling their garbage out on the street in front of their stores. Their stores just east of the municipal buildings on both sides of Eglinton are the worst offenders in the entire borough. Mr. Lastman, who asked most of the questions when the council was considering its budget for the year, also wondered why Metro police didn‘t bill other governments for services provided. He learned that Metro hasn‘t been doing this and didn‘t appear ready to do so. He also questioned why the province doesn‘t give Metro‘s landlord and tenant bureau more authority to help people with their problems. North York Controllee Paul Godfrey, chairman of Metro social services comâ€" mittee said Metro would soon meet with the province to discuss the future of the bureau. The full York delegation at Metro Council ‘ast week supported asking TTC to put in the single transit fare in Metro Toronto starting in October. The big push for the single fare was led by two North York Controllers, Paul Godfrey and Irving Paisley with the support of Alderman Ian Rogers. North York Mayor Basil Hall was absent for the single fare While Metropolitan chairman Ab Campâ€" bell said the single fare would be beneficial to the whole transit system he didn‘t want to place its $8,000,000 cost on the property tax. Metropolitan Council expects that the transit rider through incre&sed transit fares and a provincial grant will pay for the single fare system.

"As it is people come looking for solutions and all we can give out is hope," said Mr. Godfrey. the money Metro intends to spend on a sports stadium would be better spent on giving citizens a single transit fare. North York‘s Alderman Rogers told council that there was uniformity in Metro service with the exception of public transit.‘TTC operates with a general fare of four tickets for $1. and 10 tickets for $2. for zone‘fare riders. While North York representatives won the day on the sifile fare, providing the TTC agrees to introduce it, they lost in a bid to allow students to use student fares at any time. Restriction on the use of student fares is from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Council defeated a move to support use of student fares at any time even though North York Controller Mel Lastman said non:radzm hitchhike because they can‘t afford the full transit fare. w 93 oo oP by Dawne Moss The Board of Education Committee stirred up a hornets nest with a motion that would limit the term of principals, viceâ€" principals and other positions of responâ€" sibility. The motion was discussed in a special meeting Monday night with members of the board, trustees, teachers, principals and liaison committees. A letter to Mr. A.G. Gillespie, director of education, from the Women Teachers‘ Association stated "It is a disappointing thought that this motion would even be brought forward." The motion was discussed for an hour and a half with the majority of the board and trustees attempting to cement relationships and stressing the word communication. The majority of the audience strongly objected to the motion and stressed the lack of communication. Trustee Wm. Bayes explained that a motion had to come before the board before any discussion could be held and that the board had not tried to push the motion through without consulting those affected. Mr. Bayes, who was responsible for the motion, told the audience that he would "rather than take a stab at this motion," and would like to see the board, teachers and principals work on better comâ€" munications. Trustee Harvey Wengle said he was surprised ‘"that teachers and principals had Briefs from secondary and elementary school principals and viceâ€"principals, Borough of York Women Teachers‘ Association and the Teacherâ€"Board Liaison Committee were unanimous in their opposal to the motion. They felt that no single motion of the board in the past several years had caused more concern among staff. That the impact on both staff morale and staffâ€"board relations would be harmful. n.yse-upnn-yummm-yuthyâ€"hnuu“bu“* offering to keep the doctor away for contributions towards their drive.

"It shows a lack of confidence," said Trustee Oscar Kogan who wanted to know description of Trustee Frank Regan speaking on the motion. ‘"This must have come as something of a shock," he said. We have developed a good rapport with how to overcome "this should and could continue. x7 One teacher accused the board of twisting the motion. ‘"Read the brief submitted and you‘ll find out it‘s you who are wrong," she said. "You will create a political football with this motion." Confusion seemed to stem from the: word ‘limited‘, it had not been defined in the motion nor was it defined at the meeting. Mr. Bayes explained that he felt all positions of responsibility have a great deal of pressure. That the limited term would be completely renewable and that "a great guy could stay in his position forever." He felt that this gave the individual a choice without losing face. "Move up and have a go at it â€" if you want stay there," he said. "After several years some people would opt to do something different." Trustee Michael McDonald maintained that the "System would improve vastly." Although he stated that a problem would arise in salaries. A principal would not necessarily want to go back to teaching with a cut in salary. But he felt there "should be greater movement â€" people, do go stale." Mr. Christie stated the board had not made up its mind. That they would hold open and frank discussions between the board and its teachers. The motion has been referred to a select committee of board members, teaching staff and principals for further discussion. SINGLE COPY 10 CENTS WESTON, ONTAR
