TN "A dangerous precedent" By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star Cuts on the Region Of Dur- ham's Works Department bud- get may jeopardize future pro- vincial funding, Yvonne Christie says. Mrs. Christie, vice-chairman of the region's Works Commit- tee, is concerned that excessive cuts to the budget this year may set a dangerous precedent for the provincial government to follow. Under the structure of grant money, the province matches dollar for dollar any money spent on works projects. This year's budget figures will not truly represent the region's needs, Councillor Christie says. She says it will be "a horror story" for the region if the gov- ernment uses 1992 as a base year, as it will be an artificial base instead of the true base. In 1992, for example, Council- lor Christie says they may have to turn back as much as $1 mil- lion. "It's really unheard of to turn back subsidy dollars, but it's the position we're in," she said. The Economic Strategy Com- mittee and Finance Committee have been working on the bud- Horse bitten by dog A horse has been sent to a Pe- terborough-area veterinary clinic after being attacked by a dogon Sunday. According to Ann Barrett, Scugog's animal control officer, the incident happened at about noon. Shelley Brown was riding her horse Lex on Concession 2, west of the Ashburn Road, when a chow-pitbull cross dog at- tacked the horse. The dog bit three of the horse's legs, biting through an arteryonone leg. Ms. Barrett says it is un- known whether the injury is life-threatening. "Infection is a very bad thing," she told the Star. She has contacted the dog's owner by telephone and planned to visit the owner Mon- day. Ms. Barrett will suggest the owner have the dog de- stroyed. Local man charged Durham Regional Police have laid six charges against a Sea- grave-area man after he alleg- edly assaulted a 19-year-old Ux- bridge Township woman. A suspicious car was spotted by a passing motorist on Con- cession 6 in Uxbridge in the ear- ly morning hours of Friday, March 20. When police pulled the vehi- cle over at about 6 a.m. the wom- an ran to the police for help. She was taken to hospital for an ex- amination and released later thatday. The man and woman, who knew each other socially, had travelled to Oshawa together the previous evening. Charged with sexual assault, assault causing bodily harm, forcible confinement, uttering a death threat and two counts of possession of a narcotic is Mur- ray Allan Bain, 28.

It has been given the task of slashing the budget by 20 per cent from last year's figure. In 1991, the budget was slashed 15 per cent from the previous year. At this point Councillor Christie says the figure is down to 12 per cent. She says in order to get it down to the desired 20 per cent, they must debenture the work on the Taunton/ Steeles Bridge to raise the mon- ey. With all the cuts to the bud- get, Councillor Christie says she is concerned that the budget is very lean. She believes the quality of the roads in the region will be affected by the cuts. It is her concern that the only other alternative would be to see some lay offs at the regional level. Work on the budget will re- sume on Wednesday when the whole regional council will dis- cuss theissue. PENNY PINCHERS The Port Perry Star's SMALL CLASSIFIEDS $4.50 1 {01 gl R"\Y[o!
