Principals
of capital
IEW SHIRLEY J. KEt laP3
Effective with the 1971
budget, the Huron Qounty
Hoard of Education has agreed
that the final decision regarding
Order of priority in the
purchasing of capital equipment
will be left to the principals, as
long as the sum total of such
items is within the approved
budget and does not exceed the
$2,000 limit.
At the present time, the
principal prepares his budget and
submits it to the administrative
staff. The budget is reviewed and
certain deletions are made. The
dollar value .of the budget is
presented to the Board and
addition al deletions are
recommended, The principal
justifies, in writing, to the
executive council the need for a
particular item of capital
equipment and the executive
council endorses or denies the
request. If approved by the
executive council, the item of
equipment is. ordered by the
purchasing department.
Under the new policy, each
principal will be advised of the
items the senior administrative
staff think should be eliminated
from the budget, but the
principals will have the final
decision regarding the order in
which the items approved in the
budget should be purchased.
John Broadfoot noted that
the present • policy regarding
rental of school facilities to
public organizations was too
lease and definite guidelines are
required which could be
followed in the various
municipalities in the county.

interpretation was different in
different schools.

requesting that the of A in
Huron be permitted to use the
schools free of extra „charge and
that -"school facilities be made
available free of charge (except
where a Caretaker is deemed
necessary) to any group of
responsible taxpayers for
purposes of meetings and
recreation".
.The Board agreed to keep
these resolutions in mind when a
Revised Policy of Community
Use of Schools is considered for
possible implementation in
September.
Although Roy B, Dunlop,
superintendent of .business
affairs presented a report on the
variation in costs for driver
education in the five secondary
schools in the county, the board
agreed net to make any decision
on the matter until figures were
received from this year's
operation at the end of June.
Mr. Dunlop noted that
"because of inconsistencies in
accounting procedure during
1969, there is a strong
possibility that these figures are
not accurate". He said a more
reliable comparison would be for
the first six months of 1970, as
coding was done by. the same
personnel.
The board also learned of the
following resignations: Mrs.
Renee Botterbusch, Holmesville
PS; Mrs. Flora E. Fear, Blyth PS;
Mrs. Sandra M. Gower, Colborne
Central School; Mrs. June
McKiernan, Hensall PS; John

During the question period,
Mrs, Shirley J, Keller, Huron

that the ealarY of each

asked if Roy R. Dunlop was now

salary since 4 being named
superintendent of business
affairs. She was told that Mr.
Dunlop's salary had been raised
to $21,000.
Dunlop's salary had been
$17,000, the raise, constituting a
$4,000 per annum pay hike.
McKeough announces steps
to reform local finances
Municipal Affairs Minister
Darcy MeKeough recently
outlined four main areas of
reform aimed at financially
strengthehing local governments.
He told local government
delegates attending the first
Provincial-Municipal Conference
that the Province recognizes
"that local government has a
vital role to play in our rapidly
evolving society. It is, in fact,
the single most important
role—the one which will most
; directly affect people."
And, he continued, the
Province also recognizes that the
municipalities have been
"hampered and frustrated" by a
number of constraints, including
the lack of financial resources
and the lack of a municipal
organizational structure that can
cope with the needs of society in
the 1970s.
"We cannot wait, however,
for reorganization to be
completed before we start to
seek reform of municipal
finance," Mr. McKeough said.
He suggested four main areas
of reform to provide increased
financial strength to local
government—reform of local
taxation; 'reform of municipal
provincial transfer payments;
reform of municipal capital
financing; and reform of

reassessing all real property at
current value.
"Once this has been
accomplished, we will be in a
better position to develop and
complete three main areas of
local taxation reform, The first
is the broadening of the local tax
base by removing exemptions.
The second is the achievement
of a more neutral business
assessment rate. The third is the
determination of an appropriate
distribution of tax burdens
among classes of real property."
As a first step toward
broadening the tax base, recent
legislation now enables
municipalities to levy a tax of
$25 per full-time student on
provincially assisted universities.
"In the future, we will be
considering the feasibility of
subjecting other institutions to
municipal taxation," Mr.
McKeough said, including
community colleges, hospitals,
schools, and municipally-owned
properties.
Mr. McKeough told the
municipal officials that- the real
property tax is their tax field
and they should express their
view on the desirability of a
neutral or graduated business
tax, the continuance of different
rates for different types of
commercial properties, and
whether certain properties, for
example golf courses, should be
taxed at a fraction of their value.
Referring to the second major
reform—Provincial transfer
payments to municipalities—Mr.
McKeough said that the
