can be heavy for taxpayers he remarked Colleagues of Reeve urrie on the current township council are Deputy Reeve Don lien nessy and councillors William Vancise Bern Swanson and Donald Moyer Youve seen ome wage rollbac but what about price rollbacks You do see some wage rollbacks If pory increase that is more than whats allowed is reported to the AntiInflation Board it is reduced The cuts make the headlines not Arv as easy to see prices yllllllllazx Ill flill cm increase in the cost of making or selling or product will tend to boost profits If this happens the company may well be required to turn around and lower prices to give the money back to the consumer This has been happening irlnlllllllilliliillli being tCnii iii But strong price re frrrlril system does exist and it is working Price are restrained through the control of profit margins More than 6500 m0101 companies have to report their profit margins to the AlB ond those are compared with the margins they were earning before the program Under the revised regulations firms can use either their profit margins for their last fiscal year or their average profit margins for the five years before the antiinflation program began Wholesalers and retailers will be allowed to earn 95 of those earlier profit margins All other companies reporting will be limited to 85 This means that companies have to set their prices low enough so that they will not break these guidelines price increase that isnt needed to cover Gouvernement Government du Canada of Canada The price control system is strengthened by the fact that 274 of the biggest companies in Canada have to notify the AntiInflation Board 30 days before planned price increase and they have to justify that increase before it can be made The AIB has limited price increases in or number of areas including beer auto insurance gasoline and electricity Most businesses are coopercrting with the antiinflation program They want to see inflation beaten as much as anyone So in CI year of controls you havent seen mctny price rollbacks There are instead price holdbocks We still have long way to go but price increases are slowing down The rcrte of inflation which had been over 10 last year had dropped to just 62 by August 1976 latest figure available IHHHIHHHH iiiiiiill Iliiii iiitltiilltiiiitiilillitztitiliiiIiiiiiirsiiiiirii
