Provincial Treasurer Charles
S. MacNaughton has launched a
major public discussion on gov-
ernment and taxation reform in
Ontario.
The Huron MPP, in a state-
ment following release of the
massive Report of the Ontario
Committee on Taxation, has in-
vited all interested parties
across the province to voice
opinions on any or all of the
Report's 350-plus recommend-
ations.
He'll welcome written sub-
missions from individuals, as
well as groups and agencies,
on the sweeping changes advocat-
ed by the Committee, which focus
on relief of real property taxes.
The Treasurer said this course
of action will "involve the pre-
paration and tabling of a White
Paper to outline the Govern-
ment's policy with respect to
implementation of the Com-
mittee's proposals and the most
effective and efficient means of
staging such implementation".
Mr. MacNaughton announced
adoption by the Government of
two major recommendations
which will help to cut property
taxes in 1968. These are the
basic shelter exemption grant,
which will directly reduce prop-
erty taxes from the bottom, and
provincial take-over of justice
The Eketer Greys find them-
selves with their backs against
the wall in Huron Ladies softball
playoff action. Competing with
Brucefield, Wellesley, and Brus-
sels in a round robin series to
decide a ',13" league winner, the
Greys have lost three consec-
utive games.
Brucefield Bombers trounced
the Greys 17-9 inHensallThurs-
day and Wellesley edged the local
crew 5-1 at Exeter Community
Park, Tuesday.
As has been the case in many
of the Grey games this year,
they kept pace with Wellesley for
a good part of Tuesday's con-
test only to fade in the last
couple of innings.
The Exeter girls took a one
run lead in the first inning and
held the narrow lead until the
visitors knotted the count in the
third. Wellesley scored the go-
ahead marker in the fifth and
added two more in the eighth
and their final run in the ninth.
With two out in the Exeter
first, Audrey Pooley tripled and
Lorraine Hall walked to get a
potential rally started. Hall stole
second to get into scoring pos-
ition and Connie Kernick deliver-
ed the necessary single to score
Pooley, but Hall was thrown out
at the plate.
The Greys threatened again in
the third with three consecutive
singles from the bats of Joan
Campbell, Anne Lewis and Fern
Dougall but the former was called
out for leading off first and the
threat died.
In the fourth Patti Robinson
doubled and Fern Dougall re-
peated the feat in the fifth and
this was the last time a Grey
runner was able to reach first
base.
Patti Robinson went the dis-
tance on the Exeter hill and allow-
ed Only five hits to the opposition
batters but five walks and a
couple of errors by her team-
mates kept her in trouble.
Base hits Were a dime a dozen
as Brucefield downed the Greys
administration costs, which will
cut expenditures at county council
and local levels.
Both these measures, he said,
can be financed through revenue
growth at the present levels of
taxes, aided by effective new
measures of economy being
undertaken by the Government.
No increase in personal income
or sales taxes will be necessary.
But he warned that further
relief for the municipalities won't
be that easy.
"I would remind the people of
Ontario", the Treasurer said,
"that further measures of relief
in the narrow-based field of
property taxation can only result
in the search for equitable means
of increasing revenues from the
broader-based fields of federal
and provincial taxation."
He was referring to the
Report's recommendations for
higher income and sales taxes,
as well as other tax adjustments,
which the Treasurer said, would
require intensive study.
",We cannot subscribe to the
rather forbidding 'series of tax
changes proposed at the pro-
vincial level without time for
adequate evaluation.
"At the same time, we should
set a course based on a rigor-
ous planning of government
expenditure consistent with the
17-9 in Hensall, Thursday. The
winners collected 14 base hits
while the losing Greys connected
for 11 safe blows.
The fourth inning proved fatal
for the Greys as Brucefield
scored 10 times to put the game
in the bag. The Bombers bombed
Exeter starter Patti Robinson off
the mound in the fourth and con-
tinued the assault against re-
liever Pat Down.
Sharon Burdge and Joyce Fer-
guson were the top Brucefield
sluggers, each picking up three
hits. The longest hit was a triple
from the bat of catcher Sandra
Graham in the fourth.
Audrey Pooley and Anne Lewis
led the Grey hitting attack with
two hits apiece. Pooley singled
in the fifth and slashed a two-run
homer in the seventh while Lewis
banged out doubles in the seventh
and eighth frames.
maximum growth and develop-
ment of our Province, recogniz-
ing that ultimately our revenues
should be based on our prosperity
and an 'enlarging of the tax base
rather than to rely solely on
increasing tax rates."
The Treasurer said the Re-
port underscores "in emphatic
terms" the Ontario Govern-
ment's oft-repeated requests to
the Federal Government for more
tax room in the progressive tax
fields.
"Its findings also stress the
need to establish priorities for
the expenditure of public funds
and the prudent economics that
would be associated therewith."
The Huron MPP cited five
major considerations developing
from the exhaustive 1,300-page
Report:
• The need to achieve greater
order and integration in the
total Federal-Provincial-
Municipal tax scene is re-
affirmed.
Consideration must be given
the matter of equity in
terms of the individual tax-
payer.
• Individual taxpayers are
entitled to some opportunity
to assess the costs of the
particular services they are
receiving.
• An effective system of con-
trol over the combined ex-
penditures of Provincial and
Municipal Governments
should be sought.
• More efficient forms of
Government across the
Province of Ontario must
