Payments to regional municipali-
ties, in recognition of expendi-
tures•for the provision of regional
police services will be increased,
from $7 to $12 per capita.
Changes have been made to the
general support grant provisions.
Each municipality will receive a
general support grant equal to 6
per cent of its 1974 net general
dollar levy.
The fixed mill rate differential
of 15 per cent between residential
and farm assessment On the one
hand, and commercial will
on the other, will be
standardized throughout the
province. In 1975, the impact of
this, change on residential tax-
payers will be limited to an
increase of not more than 5 per
cent in residential property taxes.
Bill 41 - An Act to Amend die.
Municipal Act. The amendments
to the Municipal Act provide for
the following:
They delete the sections in the
Act which outline the method of
calculating the general purpose
mill rates. The differential
between residential, farm and
commercial mill rates will be
standardized at 15 per cent across
the province, and calculated in
accordance with the Ontario
Unconditional Grants Act, 1975.
Payments in lieu of taxation
under section 304 will now be
made in respect of certain
previously 'exempt institutions
such as provincial educational
institutions, and agricultural
research stations. Payments for
the educational institutions, sudi
as the schools for the deaf and
blind and agricultural colleges,
such as the one in Ridgetown, whit
ow!
be calculated at $50.per student
place.
Aeseage Basis
Payments for agricultural
research stations will be calcu-
lated on an acreage basis, as is
currently done for provincial
parks. This formula provides $5
per acre for the first 100 acres, $2
per acre for thepext 9,900 acres
and 50 cents/an acre 'on the
acreage in excess of 10,000 acres.
In addition, the amendments.,
delete the limitation in the Act
which restricted the payment
under Section 304 tone more than
25 per cent of the net municipal
leiv.
there is a very good possibliiy *
that a provincial election will .be
called in June. Several strong
indications point- to a Ju
election. 'Both the electi'
expense legislation acid Ridh.,
Redistribution legislation were
passed earlier • this month -
Premier Davis announced that
Agriculture ' Minister William
Stewart and Tong-time party
worker, Hugh MacCaulay are
Tory Campaign co-chairmen,
effective 'immediately - In the
news release announcing the
appointments ' the Premier said
that Tories across Ontario
"clearly have a responsiblity to
undertake' every. effort to ensure
maximum campaign readiness in
each riding of our province". -
Premier Davis recently' named
Arthur Wishart to head. the new
Commission on Electicm Contri-
butions and Expenses. Mr.
Wishart 'has already called a
meeting of 'commission members
and said the new hody could; be
operattbnal in time for a June
election.
So 'it might be back to the
husting at the wake of summer,
1975.
