'STARR RAISED FIRST QUESTION | Mr, Abbott said the -same thing in a recent letter to City council here, replying' to the municipal body's urging sales tax reductions, which echoed a similar demand made in the House about a month ago by Michael Starr, MP. In short the government would counten- ance no reduction of municipal sales taxes, because it would take something like $590,000,000 a year from the federal treas- ury, and because, 'it would not be appropriate for the fed- eral government to assume any direct responsibility for the financial problems of the muni- palities which were creatures of the provincial government." of In the excise-tax debate, which | continues today, Mr. Drew said it {was unfair that the provincial gov- ernments should be-exempt from the sales tax while the municipal- ities and school boards were liable. Some federal measures had added {to hte municipal burden, mainly the necessity to buy civil defence equipment. "The extent to which the fdral government is steadily encroach- ing on their tax dollar is a matter of very real concern to many muni- . |cipalities," said Mr. Drew. "The more we encourage muni- cipal control of their own affairs, - |the. better it will be for the tax- payer."
