Wintermeyer Statements ‘Bubbles‘ Ready To Burst Says N. Y. Reeve f* sp ‘MAID OF THE MIST RECEIVES NAME "BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS" CHIPPEWA WILFRED GRAY, "SCOTTIE" AND SENECA NORTON LICKERS Reeve Goodhead _ suggested that the public ‘skim the cream‘ of this political promise and look at its true content. "The most immediate considâ€" eration would be, "Who would pay for the costs of education that are now borne by propertyâ€" ownersâ€" the price tag of which is $450 million?" "Mr, Wintermeyer fails to inâ€" dicate how his party would go about the job of raising the monâ€" ey which amounts to about 50 per cent of the Provincial Budâ€" get." said Reeve Goodhead. "Would he increase the sales tax to six or nine per cent, would owning taxpayers of the province, especially in view of the fact that most urban areas of the Province are paying 50 per cent of their taxes for local education costs."

Riders will be able to travel to Islington and Dixon. from Rexdale, and continue. by transâ€" ferring, to the Lakeshore on the Kipling bus Kipling Bus Route which now ends the north cireuif at the Westway. The Kipling bus will run from the Lakeshore at 18th Street, up Kipling straight to Dixon Road at Islington Ave.. or the Weston Shopping Plaza.

Two new routes will be opened by the TTC in the Rexdaleâ€" Thistletown area which hold a glimmer of hope for frustrated bus riders of Northern Etobicoke, September 4. 2 New TTC Routes By Pass Weston â€" South There is only one place that Mr. Wintermeyer can find the additional fifty cents for every tax dollar the Provincial Governâ€" ment is able to raise today, claimed Reeve Goodhead, and that is out of the taxpayers pocâ€" kets. "He offers relief with one hand, while picking your pockets with the other," he said. In concluding, he added. "The taxpayers need truth in action, not political promises that are as empty as a bleacher peanut bag after a ball game." he invoke provincial income taxes,. or would he generally inâ€" crease all provincial taxes?" Reeve Goodhead asked. WESTON ONTARIO, AUGUST 16, 1962 | _ Councillor Purvis has recomâ€" | mended Counciliors meet with the TTC to discuss further exâ€" tensions of the routes, in Sepâ€" tember. The books marked for sale may be brought to the school baseâ€" ment between August 27 and Auâ€" gust 31, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. | Books for the coming term may |also be purchased at this time. He said he wants to have the Martin Grove â€" Westway bus conâ€" tinue its routes into Thistletown and back through Rexdale‘s inâ€" dustrial area, to give Thistleâ€" town‘s residents a tieup with the northâ€"south Kipling route. Parts of the Rexdale industrial community will also be continâ€" ued to be cut off from bus serâ€" vice, since they are out of the line of the four area bus routes. Thistletown residents can still only go from the area into North York or Weston unless they can reach the Rexdale shopping disâ€" trict. to Weston by one change. Residents of Thistletown, howâ€" ever, are still "stuck", said Counâ€" cillor Purvis, since no bus will run into the northern sections of the Township. The Student Council need more texts to sell, and profit from the sale will be used through the Student Activities Fund, to asâ€" sist with charitanle donations during the school year. Books for sale should be in good condition, and officials adâ€" vise that those priced reasonably should sell quickly.
