$20247253 How much will actually be spent depends upon the ac curacy of the forecast Last year the city forecast spending of $18340586 The ci tys actual spending was $19206600 $866000 more than projected The bulk of the money to run the city comes from taxes In 1979 the city projects $15095671 in tax revenue up 10 per cent over last year Of the $20247253 to be spent this year $7516984 goes to meet the two county boards of education That amount 1268 per cent increase over 1978 is beyond the citys con trol The most expensive item for city spending continues to be public works with budget of $2629082 up 2089 per cent large part of that increase for roadway construction where $114 million is alllocated for 1979 The Dunlop connec ting link and Bayfield widening are two of the major road way projects this year Roadway contruction costs could easily be double last years expenditure indicating that the city has made this priority area for 1979 Along with public works fire and police are two inorc traditional municipal expenses Police costs total $153 million while the fire department will cost $111 million Another traditional service sewers garbage collcction and pollution control is budgeted at $141 million Together these three traditional civic services public works fire and police and sanitary services total $6684697 Add in the $7516984 for education and that still leaves almost $6 million to be raised and spent In other civic spending areas recreation costs will total $1009254 That money runs the arenas maintains and develops our parks and keeps our beaches in operation Spending in the nonessential areas each year incrcascs but so too do the needs and demands of growing city At the same time the benefits need to be carefully cxamin ed For instance the budget includes $101017 for hor ticultural oqerations $100000 for forestry and $61950 for miscellaneous recreation spending Were sure the money makes Barrie more pleasant place to live But the question that must be asked is how important these areas are in relation to the extra expensc to Barric tax Well well well Yet another happy Canadian who tried to fill out his own income tax Hisa The warld today US power in decline By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service In spite of President Carters great suc cesses in foreign policy the signing of the Panama Canal Treaty and the Camp David accord between Israel and Egypt Americans remain worried about what they call the decline of US power This has been occasioned by the alleged impotence of the United States as the worlds greatest power to save the imperial system of the deposed Shah of iran and with it security for major foreign source of American oil Not only was the Shah along with the SaudiArabian monarch the strongest American ally in the Middle East but he had been armed massively with Western weapons mainly American ones Interventionist politicians who are now prepared to forget the Vietnam debacle wring their hands over the inability of the Shahs great military establishment to stop the Iranian revolution joined by outside American help Such rightwing exponents of continuous American direct involvement in overseas hotspots began to have their doubts about hero former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger who made it clear in 1965 there would be no direct US military role in Angola That was four years ago with Angola ex periencing Marxist revolution at the very time that the last of the American military CIA and civilians were fleeing ignominously out of Saigon AVOID ANGOLA And though

Canadian liancc Manufacturers might be suitable to ow Lon By DEREK NELSON Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Who really runs government the elected politicians or their civil servants The answer to that question seems to de pend on whom you talk to MPP James Taylor PC Prince Edward Dennox former minister of community and social services and then energy has one view In recent speech he warned political con trol is breaking down Legislative overload and abdication of authority has contributed to the transfer of political power to the bureaucracy Ministries are manipulated by deputies in clever marionettelike manoeuvres who in turn are managed by the premiers man darins with only the semblance of power at the elected level he said GOOD QUESTION And in what may be bitter reference to his bein dumped from cabinet he added that he spea as one who has walked the socallcd corridors of power only to be mugged in the back alleys of bureaucracy But Premier William Davis has different View of the power of the civil service and doesnt take the Taylor version very serious yHe made that clear while res riding to uestions from opposition lea er Stuart gmith about the Taylor speech during ques tion period in the legislature hefty powers In long rambling answer littered with asides and inanitics he did toss out couple of opinions SOME BALANCE All of us from time to time arc concerned about the balance between the administrativc people and thc politicians hc said But the civil servants arc very ablc pcoplc who take political direction That defence was too much for MVP Donald McDonald NDP York South who correctly noted that the usurpation of the legitimate rights and powers of the elected bureaucracy in modern government is well known phenomenon that has been discussed ad nauseum in hundreds of political science classrooms CLASSIC CASE Former Liberal Icadcr Bob Nixon Brant OxfordNorfolk then tied the question of tario Hydros independent dccisionmaking in
