Wed Says Tarrcition System Hurts Sep Separate school boards Mi only in Barrie but throughout Ontario are feeling the pinch Barrie Separate School Board in especially hard put to main into its school system because of lock of money hinny people feel that the lit uation arises from an inadequ ate taxation system and that separate schools are not geit ing their fair share of the taxes SAME in rows Bill Merrick finance chair man of the Barrie Separate School Board says it was the same story in the 1800s as now Certain individuals werent interested in having children attend public schools which were then Catholic Schools Mr Merrick said As the population changed the public schools became non Catholic and the separate scho oi was interested in retaining the Catholic education within its school system inihc ithihbSéparnle Schools Act came into effect and since only minor changes have been made since the Act today is essentially an Act do slgned for the 1880s And dis crepancics that occurred in planning the Act are still with us LO0K BACK At the present time those who criticise separate schools system as being unnecessary in our way of life should recall that their nonCatholic forebear ers were responsibla for instl toting the separate schools sys authorization of 520000 per class room for both public and separate schools it is imperat lva then that separate school boards try to keep their con struction costs per class room within this figure All over and above this amount arising in the construction costs has to ba met by the money rcccived from the municipality property taxation tcm when formal education was beginning to take place in the early history oi Charla Mr Merrick said The chairman of the finance committee said NonCatholic individuals in this very comm unity have been thoroughly am azed andfound it very hard to believe that present legisla tion permitting the separate schooisysiem to obtain the nec cssary finances has so many loop holes that create hard ship on all separate schools in Ontario This can be more clearly set out by the following For ins tance in the mailer of indust rial municipal assessment only in those industries that are con trolled orowned by Roman Catholics are they able to direct their assessment to tho support 6f iho separate schools Present legislation provides for industry to support separ te schools only when the par eentage of Catholic ownership is precisely known Then this percentage of the share owner ship in the company can be directed to the separate scho ols Therefore industrial organic hions with on the nrircftind it rtuaifyim sible to determine percentage of ownership and consequently void any effort to make this determination It is suggested therefore that perhaps all industry in community should be able to direct the percentage of their assessment relative to the per centage of Roman Catholics in the population oi those comm unities gt That is if the Catholic pop ulation in Barrie was in or 17 per cent of the total popu lation then industry should be able to direct this percentage of the assessment to the separ ate school system Arrnoncnan lNDUSTRY Mr Merrick said The Bar ric Separate School Board ap proached industry in Barrie During June this year the board sent requests to all industrial organiza as in Harris to com sider ng portion of their municipal assessment to the separate schools But the three replies receiv datacsbowcd that these preferred to leave any division oi taxes to the municipality or to the legislat ors He said At present with all the industrial organizations in Borrle there are only three in dustries in the city that have share of their assessment go to the separate schools With references to residential taxes present legislation also creates difficulty in obtaining sufficient assessment to proper ly meat separate school board expenditures Mr Merrick said in the ease of mixed marriages the school act says the head of the citrate odocadooal ctfort put forth in feel that the municipality or the my artmeni ot Education in on in is to be commended for the province Biii as department of the government it can only pro Vida tor both systems that which is set down by the pro Quelled lotermittcoi rain through most oi the weekend put damper on vacation fun but it vincinl legislators did give Provincial Poitco Visualize for moment the fact that separatoecbool boards erect schools at lower cost and maintain their schools In most break with accident toils throu ghout simooo County at low point on nonunion most instance at economicaticvcis weekends through the surAmer the difficulty unit would be im the posed upon the general tax payer if all Catholic children were educated by tho public schools Mr Merrick said Ho said it is impossible to Department of Education should county and district came through without any serious to iuries on tho roads though sev eral minor accidents were re ported and property damage in several was high On Highway 400 Just south of school kindergarten Catholic family may send youngest child to the public school kind ln other words the systems Earle The ii1 tevmwmmselvesl children in must go to the public school system No division oftox sup port is permitted school boards throughout the province have difficulty meeting the financial demands of educ est buildings in keeping with their financial position LOCAL GENERAL WILLIAM MERRICK riilésdli Here again all for support Mr Merrick said Separate tion and they carry deficits from one year to another it is tho practice of separ to school boards to erect mod Slnce the Department of Ed cation pays grant on on Mr Merrick said the Dep LETTERS PATENT was ever face do more to adjust the division of municipal tan support but rather that the legislators of the twentieth century should review the Schools Act This is sublect that could easily demand the attention of Royal Commission Mr Mer cick said He said separate schools servo need in Ontario and the goucroment torridgating that parliamentary ndtsifbi to the foods are not to keep ing with todays progress They will be the first to acknowledge that separate scho ols are soundly built at lesser coat and maintained at lower figures than public schools And government on thc pro vincial and community level it with educating the students in separate scho ols within the present public school system they would find the tax burden impossible lilr Merrick said credit must be givenfor changes that have brought relief and it is my sincere hope that the Out ario Government will continue its commendable efforts of re cent years to como forth with better grants designed to assist both the separate and public school systems as they are in Ontario today and to relieve the municipality of on over burden of taxation for educa tion purposes Want Investigate Sundaie Finances Highway 37 Sunday mooring vehicle rolled over after the front left the blow out HINWs ing it into
