CP Property Tax Deferments Introduced For Elderly TORONTO (CP)--A bill in- troduced in the Ontario legisla- ture Wednesday by Municipal Affairs Minister Spooner will permit municipalities to grant elderly homeowners _interest- free property tax deferments of up to $150 a year. Mr. Spooner described the legislation as a "'temporary ex- pedient'"' until Ontario's taxa- tion system is adjusted in line with recommendations of the Smith committee on taxation, due to report to the government thortly. The proposed Municipal and School Tax Credit Assistance Act will supersede special legis- lation recently granted Hamil- ton, Amherstburg and Burling- ton under which senior citizens are being given tax credits of up to $100. Terms of the government bill will permit municipalities to pass bylaws allowing persons 65 and over to claim deferments of one-half their realy property taxes up to the $150 limit . The municipalities will be re- imbursed for the credits by the province, which will take a lien on the properties involved. Mr. Spooner said outside the house that the lien will have priority after first mortgages. The minister said the private bills being superseded provide for tax relief to older citizens "at the expense of other rate- payers" and that they<amount to subsidization of the present owners' heirs. He said the act will come into force immediately and could apply to 1967 tax levies. The minister said he was un- 1,300 Teachers In Metro Threaten To Quit En Masse TORONTO (CP)--More than 1,300 of Metropolitan Toronto's 1,900 high school teachers indi- cated Wednesday night they are willing to resign en masse to back their salary demands. About 90 per cent of the 1,300 teachers attending a meeting gave a standing ovation to Douglas Penny, chairman of their salary negofiating commit- tee, as he urged them to reject the last salary offer of the Toronto board of education. The 1,900 high school teachers will vote Friday and Monday to decide if they are willing to back the salary dispute handled by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation. The teachers and the board of education had come to tenta- tive terms for salary increases} ranging from $6,100 to $13,100 up from the present $5,400 to $11,100. However, negotiations broke down when the teachers said they wanted the salary in- creases retroactive to January, 1967. In the past, salary in- creases have been effective at the beginning of the school term in September. Jury Members Deny Influence; Four Out Of Five Were Patients ALLISTON, Ont.

Mr. Spooner said an elderly million- aire would-be able to get the interest-free loan "if he had enough gall." Outside the house, Liberal Leader Robert Nixon said "the government is not solving the problem; it is merely transfer- he it to the next generation because the payments become a lien against the property.

Groups Side With Unions TORONTO (CP) -- Two em- ployer groups have taken the side of construction unions in their current strike against con- struction projects of Ontario Hydro. The strike by 3,000 members of 13 unions belonging to the Allied Construction Council has halted $500,000,000 in Hydro con- struction projects in the prov- ince. The strike started Mon- day. One of the major aims of the union council is to: have juris- dictional disputes submitted to a labor management board in Washington, D.C., rather than the Ontario Labor Relations Board.
