30000 ap proximately to continue to pay the lions share of county maintenance he said it is incredible we should vote to do such a thing we have no assurance the so- called undue burden under the metropolitan bill so will apply to york county were budgetting the county into iwnkruptcy unless were lucky meeting in the converted da vis estate here the county governing body accepted the ninepage budget which calls for spending 913798 this year on courts police childrens aid roads old loans health parks aged persons homes and hos pitals various revenue departments will bring in 370540 from li

re port but 1 dont approve of it tli is budget is a burden on york county under bill so an undue burden may be compen sated for by the ontario gov ernment were preparing an application to the municipal ixard to this effect until weve got the goahead from this board we shouldnt budget like this in my opinion the ontario government by cutting the county of york in two created this undue burden to the rural municipalities therefore why shouldnt the same government take care of the results of their actions by offering some relief in taxation can real estate in the coun ty of york continue to pay more and more to a county road sys tem which in my opinion should be assumed as a pro vincial road system the finance commissioners reported the ontario govern ment was scheduled to pay 750000 as its share of the county roads now that metro politan toronto area no longer is taxable this they said would le added to by the coun ty for a total road budget of 1156000 said reeve
