The Minister of Health is recom- mending the shots to everyone, but anticipates considerably apathy. Some five million doses of vaccine will be made available to Ontario's eight million residents on a first come, first serve basis, and medical officers of health across the province will an- nounce the dates, times and locations of clinics in their areas through the media. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith has attacked the Government for the decline in the number of building permits issued in the first six months of this year. He told the Housing Minister, Mr, John Rhodes, that the number of building permits in the first half of the year declined by 1.8 per cent, because the government has no policies to increase the number of new housing starts, and that there had also been a 3 per cent decline in new apart- ment buildings, although there is a shortage of apartments in Metro. Minister John Rhodes main- tained there is a large number of new unsold housing units on the market, and the construction industry has slowed down its production of new homes "until they are reasonably certain that there is a market for their product," N.D.P, Member, Michael Cassidy said most of the glut on the housing market is in very expensive homes, while there is a shortage of low cost housing.

Confirmation Services will be held at .St. Mary's church, awarded significant increases to the ,nursing staff at the Ottawa Civic Hospital, The Ministry agreed it would pick up its share Of costs where similar set- tlements were negotiated across Ontario, both in hospitals and boards of health. Because the Ministry pays the total cost of nursing salaries in hospitals, there was little difficulty in nurses negotiating settlements similar to that awarded at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. However, in the public health field, where municipalities share the costs of these programmes, public health nurses were not able, in many instances, to maint in the parity they had previously enjoyed with their counterparts in the public hospital field. In the past couple of years, this situation has been aggravated by subsequent settlements. In order to rectify this situation, the Ministry of Health is prepared to provide additional funding, on the same ratio as it cost-shares health unit budgets. This will be provided up to an amount which would establish parity on an hourly-rate basis between registered nurses in health units and registered nurses in hospitals. In discussions on the Govern- ment's first time home buyers grants, and a call for con- tinuation of an investigation by Dr. Stuart Smith, Liberal Leader, the Government has reversed its position and will continue, in some form, an audit into suspected fraud. Investigation has already revealed that some $8.7 million has been paid to ineligible homeowners, The Government has resisted, implying that it did not have the necessary auditing staff and that the procedure was too expensive anyway. However, Mr. Arthur Meen, the Minister of Revenue, said the form of the continuing audit would be decided shortly. He said hiring an outside firm was one possiblity being con- sidered. Under the program which ran from April 7 to December 31, 1975, those who qualified received an initial $1,000 and were entitled to an additional $250.00 en the two anniversaries of their purchase. Mr. Meen said many of the violators might be found when they apply for the $250 sup- plements. Mr. Meen admitted that the Government did very little checking before giving out the grants, and had been running a partial check of recipients since last April. The Government has not been prosecuting most violators but simply asked that ,---the-a444,,be..returned Speaking on an amendment' to the Assessment Act, which will Whalen area people mark anniversaries THE BASE FACTORY OUTLET "The Store That Saves You More" By MRS.

Mr. & Mrs. Larry Hern were in Flesherton for the weekend when Ian McLellan and Jeanette Dargavel were married in Flesherton United Church and at the reception in Markdale delay the application of market value assessment ,for another year, Ed Good, Liberal Member for Waterloo North, said that it was obvious that market value assessment is not going to be the be-all and end-all of the inequities that exist in our taxation system. He said already in some areas, market value assessment, represents as low- as 50 per cent to 60 to 65 per cent of today's market value. Already the equity has gone out of what we call market, value assessment. When market value assessment is brought in, there will still be the greatest need for equalization factors. There will still be the greatest need to look at the assessment and see at what levels each classification of property 'will be taxed and there will be the need to try to remake a proper relationship between so- called market value assessment on residential property and market value assessment on industrial and commercial property. Mr. Good said that the Liberal Party told the Government way back when they started talking about taking over the assessment function in this province, that there was nothing wrong in many of the areas of this province, because there was equity within the taxation area among the various classifications of property. Local municipalities respon- sible for their own assessment did assess various classifications of property at various per- centages of market value. Some municipalities were assessing residential property at 23, 25 or 27 per cent of market value. Apartment buildings were assessed at 45 or 50 per cent, industrial and commercial at 100 per cent. That was acceptable by the people in those days. There were assessments that were not being done properly, but had the government at that time given some money to the municipalities and made mandatory the use of the assessment handbook the assessment problems could have been solved or improved con- siderably. But instead the Government took over the whole assessment function, and along with the taking over the assessment, existing assessment on buildings at that time were frozen. Along with the freezing of the assessment, the equalization factors were frozen, and those factors that involve the payment of levies among the municipalities - from area to region or from township to county. The equalization factors that were frozen were those used for the province giving its grants to the municipalities. Instead of things getting better in the last 8 years the inequities have been perpetuated. Mr. Good said that there has been too much emphasis laid on what market value assessment is going to do do to bring about the solution to the inequities that exist. The rolls will be returned in 1977 for 1978 taxation and if the rolls are brought in early in the year people can at least have a look at them. Although Mr. Good said, there will be no manner in which a person can judge whether that assessment is high, low or in between. The experience in those municipalities where market value assessment has already been brought in, such as the Grey, Bruce and Parry Sound areas, has shown that when the first reassessment went out, there was a slip which said that if the expenditures did not increase or if the mill rate did not in- crease, the assessment should be roughly about 17 times what it was previously, which was a little bit of a guideline but certainly no basis on which one could appeal an assessment.
