Shoppers who refused to pay the new tax on smallputchases will not be pur- sued, said Revenue Minister, Al- lan Grossman, but action may be taken to collect from persons who made large purchases and in-. sisted on paying only the then- legal 5 per cent rate. The Retail Sales Act makes provision for court action against anyone who does not pay the tax, and for fines of $10 to $1000. According to the Act, a sale is not com- pleted until delivery of the item is made,and the title transferred to the new owner. Purchasers who negotiated a sale prior to May 1st, 1973, but who did not take delivery 'until after. that d2t e will be charged the 7 per cent sales tax on the negotiated price, even though a down payment was made at the time the bill of sale was drawn up by the vendor. The select committee of the Ontario Legislature, investiga- ting circumstances surrounding the construction of a new head office building for Ontario Hydro, approved an outline by the com- mittee counsel, Richard Shibley, of six questions he believed the committee should attempt to an- swer. The first was whether the terms of the agreement between Hydro and Canada Square, under which Hydro will become a'ten- ant of the building at an annual 'rent of $4,116,424 and assume ownership in 30 years for $1, were financially and economi- cally soupd. The second was whether the same agreement pro- vided benefits and advantages which justify the decision of Hy- dro to abandon previous plans for construction of a building owned and financed by Ontario Hydro. The abandonment cost Hydio $1,485,000 in architectural fees. The third question was simply "Did, Ontario Hydro take all steps necessary to obtain competitive proposals?" The fourth ques- tion: Did Mr. George Gathercole (Hydro chairman), members of the Ontario Hydro Electric Com- mission, the chief architect of Ontario Hydro and the members oFithe staff of Ontario Hydro, or afyone involved, have their jtelg- merit affected by any considera- tion other than what was in the best interests of Ontario Hydro and the people of Ontario. The fifth question was whether the agreement was of a nature and of such importance that Hydro should have submitted it for con- sideration on a policy basis to the Minister reporting to the House for Hydre. The agreement had never been discussed in Cabinet. The final question' pertained to investigating the validity of a statement made by a person who alleged that there, was a warning delivered by someone to, one of the unsuccessful bidders tliat if he did not be quiet he would never get another Goverpment contract. Natural Resources Minister, Leo Bernier, who is responsible for the operation of the Govern- ment's 45 aircraft, said there had been nine threats against Premier Davis' life in the past three weeks., adding weight to the . sentiment in Government circles" opposed to making public 'the de- tails of flights made by Cabinet, ministers in Government and chartered aircraft. The Provin- cial Auditors Report noted that a number of charter flights were made transporting Ministers and their families, senior civil ser- vants and ,others within and out- side Ontario. Revenue Minister, Allan Grossman, informed the Legis- lature that the maximum 'price for builders under the govern- ment's Home Ownership Made Easy (H.O.M.E.) had been raised ranging from $225 to $1600. Un- der the H.O.M.E. plan the go- vernment keeps down payments low by leasing the lots and hol& ing a ceiling on the construction price of the houses. " Albert Roy, (Lib. Ottawa East) told the Legislature during the budget debate that the largest optical firm in C anada is in a pos- itipn to control the issuing' of licenses to opticians in Ontario. Mr. Roy said Imperial Optical Co. Ltd. has direct or indirect connections with members of the Ophthalmic Dispensing Board of Ontario, the optical industries regulatory body. All members of the board are appointed by the Ontario Government: Mr.. Roy claimed that Imperial Optical was just another example of how the conservatives looked after their supporters.. Liberal Leader Robert Nixon, charged that a ministerial order freezing land develdpment in parts of Haldimand-Norfolk County was less stringent than .The Seaforth Junior Farmer niet on May 1st, at the Seafort *strict High School with abase+. ball game at 7:30 P.M. Jim Nixon opened the meeting with the Junior Farmer Song. The roll call was answered by forty members. Minutes were given by JoAnne Maloney and Paul Storey gave a "treasurer's report of $855.34. Neil Murray reported °tithe Spring Competitions at Ottawa which the curling team and part' of the baseball team participated in. Faye Ribey, said ther e had been some interest in the Exeter area for a new club. She asked if the club would be interested in offering financial support to the club. After a discussion Barry Gordon moved that we' donate $25.00 if the Exeter club is • • those established -by local plan- ning authorities. The order was issued by Inter-government Aff- airs Minister John White in the wake of reports that an associa-- tler1/4 of developers was assem- bling land in an area believed earmarked fdr provincial devel- opment. The consortium is hold- ing options .on farmland south of Brantford where the Provincial GovernMent is rumored to be planning a new city. Local plan- ners and politicians are thankful the developers have forced`the, Government into action on a land- use control plan for the area which has been lying in abeyance within the Ministry for two years now and which is estimated .to cost between $700,000 and $800,000. Metro Toronto teachers and supporters marched five-thou-z sand strong on Queen's Park to exhibit their protest again Edu- cation Minister Tom Well's ceil- ing on school budgets. Member's of the Liberal and N.D.P. parties addressed the gathering, but vo-'. ciferous requests by the group for an explanation by the Min- ister of Education resulted in nothing more than an exercise, of futility.. Liberal Leader Robert Nixon has not made a firm commit- ment as yet regarding his ori- ginal intention to relinquish the party leadership, but assuming he will reaffirm his desire to' be replaced, Donald Deacon, 52- year old member of the Ontario Legislature for York Centre, an- nounced the first of the week that he will seek the leadership of the province's' Liberal -party. The party convention is planned for October, so,no doubt there will be others who will announce -- their bid for the leadership be- tween now and then. starte4.0-•.• •••••.- -••••• Mls,s, Ribe.Y thgVP7 coming formal 4 apd,ToroMeladyt distributed the draw tickets to each member.

Mom sets rate of 40 mills DUO to the, uncertainty sur- rounding the provincial grants to municipalities made in the recent Ontario budget, Usborne township council has 'set only an interim tax levy for 1973. A levy of 40 mills, which is half of last year's overall rate will be due and payable on June 30. Clerk-treasurer Harry Strang informed council that the Huron county rate was the same as last, year and the secondary school requisition was up 1.3 mills but It would be possible to come up with a small surplus at the 60 mill's. Council decided not to strike the complete final rate until a more definite figure on provincial grants was re- ceived.
