Ontario Federation of Agri, culture has proposed sweeping changes in the adMinistration and financing of municipai af, fairs. In a brief submitted to the Ontario committee on taxation, the CFA proposed that property be required to pay Onlyfor ser- vices to property and that people be required to pay for services to people. in other words, the OFA has suggested that while the cost of services to property such as roads, administration of pro- perty titles, and, property pro- t ction, should be raised through an assessment of taxes levied against the land, the cost of services to people such as education, welfare, and, justice, should be raised by levying taxes on people. Among other things, the brief called for a check on public spending, the standardization of school buildings and standardi- zation of school text books. The brief contends the present sys- tem of provincial grants for educational purposes lends en- couragement to extravagant spending and points out this extravagance must, in the final analysis, be borne by the tax- payer. While the OFA is opposed to the principle of assessing taxes against property as a means of raising money for social ser- vices, the proposal was made that, if this practise is continued the costs should be apportioned on a per capita basis, and, that a minimum and a maximum NEW 4-11 C.:11011Z PERFORMS UNDER DIRECTION OF J.

"I have nothing against the people of Zurich but I can't understand the dep't of educa- tion allowing the Hay board to build on such a small play- ground. We may need an addition some day and there isn't enough room," He also said he questioned the soundness of the old school at Zurich to which the addition would be attached, CLOSE MARGIN The two new candidates de- feated two veteran members of the board in one of the closest elections ever held in the area. Only 52 votes separated the four candidates and there was a dif- ference of less than 20 between three of them. McAllister headed the polls with 378, followdd by runner-up Turnbull with 343. Chairman Ray Fisher, a member of the board since the area was formed in January, 1947, polled 329, only 14 votes behind Turnbull. Clifford Pep- per, a 10-year member, re- ceived 326. As in the referendum on the debenture for the Zurich addi- tion, there was a sharp division among the Voters In the Zurich area and the remainder of the township. Polls three and four, which include parts of the township as well as the village, voted heavily in favor of Fisher and Pepper. In every other section of the township, however, the winners led. Ian McAllister feels this split is unfortunate. "I regret the division which exists between the municipalities as shown in the vote," he said. "The situa- tion isn't particularly good." BOTH "HAPPY" Both Fisher and Pepper said they were happy to get out of the site squabble which has been going on for over a year. "I'm the happiest man in Hay township," said the chairman Tuesday. "That's what the people wanted, so I'm happy too. I tried to do my best. What more could I do?" Pepper made a similar com- ment; "Nobody could be happier than I am. I'm rid of a lot of trouble and it's quite a burden off my shoulders. We've put up with quite a few delegations this past year and it's not all fun," Neither wished to comment on the question of whether or not the site of the central school could be changed now that the vote has carried. "Let them battle it out," said Fisher. "I'm out of it now". "I doubt very much if it can be changed," Pepper stated, "but anything could happen, I suppose." HARD FOUGHT It was one of the keenest elections seen In Hay township for some years.
