of figures by the way There was no juggling done In his report in the citys $40000 annexation study Mr Irwin commented it would be forward step if the financial statements for year 1975 were presently available The shouting was between John Sopinka lnnisfils lawyer and Douglas Irwin char tered accountant with Winspear Higgins Stevenson and Co The two squared off during questions At one point Mr

along better with mutual cooperation im bit upset he said in discussion of the citys proposed debt with annexation Mr Sopinka asked how the amounts were decided and whether the num bers and books were just juggled Mr lrwin answered the question saying he tried to emphasize the city would have to give priority to hard services over recreational Mr Sopinkas crossexamination of the citys witness

crossexamination by lawyers op posing the annexation bid including 0n ra Colin Campbell Oro and Oro ratepayers sychuk Ves Dennis Wood rt Board suggests tax sharing in brief on reforming tax Tax money from federal pro pgrty or large industry should shared across the province on per pupil basis the separate school board in brief to the property tax reform commission the Simcoe County Roman Catholic Separate School Board says large corporations and govern ment buldings are not equally distributed throughout the pro vince so tax levies should be shared it is not that we speak here of equality across the province not just on behalf of separate school boards historically deprived of access to large por tions of corporate assessment the brief says Boards without high cor porate or government assess ment must put the tax burden Bill may set quota on immigration OTTAWA CP The gov ernment plans to put new im migration bill before Parlia ment on Wednesday that is ex pectcd to set quota on the number of foreigners Canada will allow into the country flexible quota system based on population plan for the country and closely tied to the number of jobs available is expected to be the major thrust of the new legislation it is to be introduced by im migration Minister Bud Cullen but although he will steer the bill through debate in Parlia ment the guts of the proposed legislation were decided under the direction of Robert Andras the minister he replaced two months ago The basis for the proposed overhaul of the 1952 immigra tion Act is major government policy paper outlining its op tions three years ago That was followed by year of public discussion and recom mendations from members of CommonsSenate committee which held open meetings across Canada on residential taxpayers the board says The separate school board also argues that the introduc tion of property tax reforms should also coincide with exten ding Catholic schools to Grade 13 Trustees note the roposed reforms Would have Iiir ually all property taxable and while the problems this will create for communit and recreation groups have noted con sideration must also be iven to private high schools suc as St Theresas in Midland Extending provincial grants to Grade 13 would be simple solution to the problem the brief states The brief also asks that reforms be introduced with guarantee of gradual revision rather than total change that could force some taxes dras tically higher Trustees also ask that grant rates to school boards be paid at 100 per cent of property tax payments so that school boards with schools located in high tax areas downtown will not face higher taxes than school located short distance away Fluoridation the big issue atAlliston public meeting ALLISTONA meetthe candidates session here Thur sday night produced lengthy but inconclusive discussion of the fluoridation issue which will be decided by town voters in referendum at next months municipal elections Town council decided in May 1975 to let the voters set tle the issue after council was unable to reach decision Clerk Brian Gauley said the referendum was not scheduled IS VICTIM Five religious cult members were convicted Friday in Yakima Wash of the beating death of threeyear old David Weilbacher above Testimony showed the defendants believed David was possessed by the devil who would be exor cised by the beatings Cult members also said they believed the child would be cleansed and resurrected APPhoto earlier because provrnCiai regulations state that referen dums can only be held in con junction with municipal elec tions Mr Gauley said council voted sixtoone in favor of the referendum reeve Peter Cameron dissenting We dont really know what to do said Mayor Oak Gray That is why it is going to the people If the people of Alliston say they want fluoridation he added then we will have to putitin Public Utilities Commission PUC member Jack Anderson said he would vote against fluoridating the towns water supply because of the expense involved The system is not set it to handle fluoridation he sai Mr Anderson later agreed with reeve Peter Cameron that fluoridating the towns water supply would cost taxpa ers about $12000 for the initia in stallation and about 25 cents per person per year to main tain Reeve Cameron said he would vote against fluoridation because it is something dont believein Mr Cameron also said he believes that trying to medicate the entire town of Alliston oes against the prin cigesof emocracy eputyReeve James Hickey stated his opposition to fluoridation saying he is 0p posed to drugs in general Mr Hickey also said he had learned that one atlent at Stevenson Memoria Hospital would need to have the fluoride removed from his drinking water because he is taking dialysis treatments for kid nev ailment Coun Elmer Hawkins said he will vote against fluoridation For six or seven dollars month he said can buy my kids all the fluoride they need Coun Taylor said he too is against fluoridation Since school children are the primary beneficiaries of fluoridation he felt older people whose children are net school age should not be dened with the expense of fluoridating the towns water supply Mr Taylor said that his children had received fluoride treatments from their dentist and he wondered if the direct dental treatments might be the best way to protect childrens teeth He said he was also con cerned about the benefits of fluoridation because even the professionals are divided on it Mayor Grays comment that local doctors and dentists are 100 per cent for it drew quick response from reeve Cameron The biologists make the decisions on the chemicals Mr Cameron stressed not the doctors and dentists He added that fluoride is found in everyones tem in varying quantities an be wan ted to know how much fluoride the human body should contain How much is enough he asked One member of the audience said she had received pam let stating reasons against uoridating the towns water supply said the mphlet ad vised that fluorl treatments are available at public health clinics for people who want them but cant afford to pay dentist
