the Province, it would appear that

during 1976 will have risen by
approximately 8.5%; It is
encouraging to note that the

moderated its migrate increases

,expected to grow by 19,9% This
is an unusually high growth rate
'that results from tax cats to
stimulate the economy in 1975
followed by tart increases in the
1976 budgets. These tax
increases were required to reduce
'the cash requirements and to
maintain the Province's credit
rating and financial integrity. „It is
anticipated that budgetary reve-
nues will grow by 8% in 1977
while receipts will remain static to
produce an overall growth rate in
Provincial revenues of 7.7% for
next year. The best estimate .at
this date for the Province's
1977/1978 revenue growth which
is shared with local governments
under the Edmonton Commit-
, meat is only 8%. The 8% forecast
incorporates $120 million in addi-
tional sales tax revenue reflecting
the termination of the exemption
for production machinery. This
exemption is scheduled to, expire
as of December 31, 1976. Apply-
ing the 8% growth rate to the
1976/1977 commitment level,
provides an amount for total
Provincial transferi of $3,426
million in 1977/78. Relating this
to the $3,096 million which the
transfers for 1977/78. .
The Province decided to allo-
cate 50% of the new funds to
school boards. Such an increase
was critical on account` of the
continuing cost pressures in the
educational system. While local
government is pleased to receive
50% of the increase, there was
still concern about education
receiving 50% with less children
attending school.
Grants from the Ministry of
Transportation and Communica-
tions will be increased by $49
million or 10.7%. Because of
lower requirements for the
Toronto subway in the current
year, this increase will permit the
Minister of Transportation and
Communications to emphasize
the high priority he sees for
greater assistance towards local
roads. The latter will be increased
by 13%.
Provision for transfers from the
Ministry of Community and Social
Services will be increased by
' more than 11% to $364 million.
An.additional $10 million is
allocated to Homes for the Aged
while the allocation for Children's
to $43 million next,- year. It is a
tmiolinn requested
iste of C
and received
1tikre and Recrea-
approval for 18 million in extra
funds in 1976/77 for his
Community Recreation Centres
program. This became necessary
to assist the many communities
with unsafe arenas to undertake
the required repairs or to. build
new arenas. For; next year this
`-firrigram Was further enriched as
not nearly all these problems will
be solved this year.
All the other changes are fairly
straightforward. The only except-
ion to this is the unconditional
grants program. The Province
over the past few years has
increased' the emphasis on
unconditional grants in its assist-
ance to municipalities. In this way
Municipalities will gradually gain
greater freedom to make their
own choices and set their own
priorities. They can use these
funds to increase activities
already otherwise supported with
conditional grants or for
completely different functions.
They can be used to reduce
millrates:
For next year the Ontario
Government has decided to boost
unconditional grants significant-
ly. They will be increased by $65
million or 17.5% This enrichment
will raise the proportion of
unconditional grants to total
municipal grants from 26.9% this
year to 28.2% in 1977/78.
The last time the Government
increased the per capita grant
towards policing costs was in the
1975 budget. Recognizing the
differential cost pressures in
communities that incurpolicing
expenditures the Ontario Govern-
ment decided to increase this
speCial per capita grant by 25%.
This will raise the $8 rate to $10
per capita and the $12 rate to $15.
Per capita. A total cost of this
enrichment will be $19 million
next year. Unconditional grants
for regional policing are paid in
nine areas. There is a differential
in rates of this grant for 1977 of
$5. per capita in favour of
regional governments with a
regional ,force. It is ,,incuanberit
upon the regional governments to
ensure that they do adopt region
wide policing of their own. The
Solicitor General expects to cease
providing regional policing by the
Ontario Provincial Police after
March 31, 1977.
Finally the Province ' will
increase all general per capita
grants by $1. per capita at a cost
of about $8.5 million. This will
raise the grants from $9. to $10 in
regional government areas. For
nnn regionalize municipalities the
per capita grarits schedule will
start at $7. instead of $6. with the
top marginal rate going from' $8 to
$91.

h
Treasurer for his ad ope approach
to the ne tedS of themimicipaiities
for hinds -wilgte0Y4110, Treasurer
provides them with more money
in good times and encourages
them to spend more and then
forces them to cut back on their
program in times of restraint,
This approach to municipal
financing makes it impossible for
mun palates to plan their
fi racial programs on a long
ange basiS and barely permits
them to know where they are
going from • year to year.
The Treasurer has told the
Municipalities what they can
expect one year but they have, no
idea what they can get from him
the following year. The reference
in his statement to "willingneSs
to tax" is in reality based on the
ability of municipalities to tax.
The result_ of this will be that
those municipalities which are
wealthier and have greater tax
capacity will receive more.
Sorne critics expressed the view
that theuTreasurer wants us to
believe that the Edmonton
Commitment is honoured regard
less of the year to year vagaries in
the funding of the municipalities.
When the Provirice Shows largess
in any'year the Treasurer says the
Commitment is being honoured.
When the Province fails to show
largess; he argues that the
Commitment is defined as an
average over an indeterminate
number of years. Critics seem to
think that it is time to take the
responsibility for municipal
affairs out of the hands of the
Treasurer who allegedly has
demonstrated that he is more
interested in using municipal
financing as a political football
instead of as a means of insuring
an efficient and equitable distri-
bution of local services and
revenue sources throughout the
Province.
The Treasurer said that half of
the additional $330 million will
not go to municipalities but to
local school boards despite the
fact that they are experiencing
declining enrolments. We might
ask whether we can expect this to
pay for ever Increasing school
administrativeAcosts and whether
we will ever see this money
-reflected in increasidquality in the
classrooms.
Obviously Housing re going to
continue to be very expensive in
Ontario as there' is a. reduced
commitment on the part of the
Government to increase funds for
this purpose. According to some
municipal officials and opposition
critics, the $5 million reduction in
Aid Societies was raised 'by $6 Government expects to transfer million. during 'the' current year. This The Government decided to compares with an increase of $221 greatly increase its allocation for million or 7.7% for the current the regional, priorities program. year.
