session to proceed with the budget OUNTY LEVY Deputy Reeve Buie said the county achievement in holding down taxes was well received in Vespra elsewhere Vespra Reeve Alan Johnston was member of the county finance committee which was chaired by Reeve Bill Gibbins of In nisfil The levy for Vespra totalled $185804 for county purposes up overall from last years $178465 but the rate per propertyowner will be down slightly The levy increase for the township was due to ad Antiinflation program is working Milne says By RUSS MILNII MP tleel Dufferin Simcoei Joe Morris and leaders of the Canadian Labor Tongress recently presented brief to the abinet in opposition to the guideline program They were supported by demonstration outside on the Hill by union members The demonstration and brief raises the question Are the wage and price gutdelines workiiig After five months all in dications are pointing to suc cess Inflation was running well over 10 per cent and rising last October when the program was introduced Inflation has decreased from 106 per cent in October to 91 per cent in February The February figure is the smallest cost of living in crease for any 12 month period in more than two years The greatest criticism of the guidelines is that the guidelines are very effective in controlling wages but they are not as ef fective in controlling prices The wage guidelines provide for standard increase of 10 per cent per year plus an ad ditional per cent for those who have had below average in creases in the recent past plus an additional percentage which allows worker groups to main tairi historic relationships with other groups or to benefit from increased prtxluctivity The price guideline is based on business costs and profit levels The standard rule is wiled the cost passthrough That means company may raise price oiin to the level necessary to recover the higher cost of producing the product it is selling It may not increase the price in order to secure higher profit In actual practice as companys cost goes up the percentage of profits goes down number of have written to ask why hydro municipal taxes etc are allowed to exceed the guidelines The guidelines do Open
