Notwithstanding the court's ruling, the government has in- dicated that it does not intend to abandon its hospital shutdown program, in spite of continuing Opposition attempts to persuade it to do so. In an oral decision, Mr. Justice Peter Cory said the Public Hospitals Act was regulatory in nature and was not intended to be used to close hospitals for financial reasons. He stated that the four hospitals had contravened no regulations, operated efficiently and have maintained the quality of patient care. The Ontario Government in- tends to appeal the decision of the divisional court on legality of its hospital-closing procedure. If the appeal fails, the government has said it will possibly introduce legislation to close the hospitals concerned. According to the Acting Health Minister, the four hospitals will receive provincial financing for up to six months to allow them to stay open during the appeal process. If the appeal takes longer than expected, the hospitals will receive an ad- ditional six months' financing. The Acting Health Minister has also announced the Chedoke Hospital in Hamilton will not have to close all its 187 active- treatment beds as originally threatened by the Ontario Ministry of Health as part of its package of restraints in medical costs. The Minister announced that the hospital will reduce its active-treatment beds to 150 as soon as possible after June 1 and will be developed as a rehabilitation and chronic care centre as well as a community health centre. The Minister of Transportation and Communications has an- nounced that lower speed limits and compulsory use of seatbelts in the Province have saved almost a life a day. Also the number of speeding charges laid by Ontario Provincial Police has risen 36 percent in the three months during which reduced speed limits have been in effect on our highways, according to a police spokesman, who also said that the total was 55 percent higher for April this year than for April 1975. Speed limits in Ontario were reduced to 60 m.p.h. from 70 m.p.h. on freeways and to 50 m.p.h. from 60 m.p.h. on other highways on February 1, According to a report tabled in the Legislature by the Minister of the Environment, it has been recommended that continued efforts be made to reduce lead emissions from smelters. An Ontario inquiry board has recommended that tests of children and pregnant women for undue intakes of lead be built into routine public health procedures in the areas close to Toronto smelters. The Government ex- pects companies to pay for the work of replacing heavily con- taminated topsoil around lead plants in Metro, replacing it, or paving over the area. If the Companies refuse to pay for the work, the Government will have it done and try to recover the money from the companies. It is also possible the work could be done by the companies under the pressure of provincial control orders, The Minister of Colleges and Universities has told the Legislature that more than 14 percent of the 16,500 full-time graduate students at Ontario's universities are foreigners. Some 5 percent of the province's 130,600 under-graduate students are foreigners. The figure for the 55,300 community college students is about 4 percent. He has also announced that university fees for new foreign students will increase from $585 to $1,500 next January, and community college fees for such students will go from $250 to $750 this fall. Foreign graduate students will have their fees raised from an average of $877 to $2,250.00. Mr. Hugh O'Neill (L-Quinte) asked the Minister of Tran- sportation and Communications, whether he was aware of the differential in the price of gasoline between highway ser- vice centres and off-highway service stations and what action the Minister proposed to take. He also wanted to know what effect government leases with oil companies have on the prices charged for gasoline at service stations, in view of the increases in federal excise tax and fuel pressways and the reasons the gasoline prices are higher at the 23 service stations on Highway 400 and 401 than elsewhere, is the leasing arrangement the com- panies have with the ministry. The lease agreements call for a percentage of gross sales, not a per gallon rate. When most of these leases or contracts were drawn up, some of them quite a number of years ago, fuel was at a much more reasonable price Page 22 than it is today, Mr. Snow said that the revenue the Province of Ontario is receiving for these leases has gone up considerably with the increase in the price of fuel. He said they are looking into some way to alleviate some of Times-Advocate, May 20, 1976 this situation, and that he has had a full investigation of the leases. The leases, he said, vary greatly in percentages and in terms but that they are looking for some adjustment in their lease arrangement. 10 2ceeett Bride-to-be honored at shower in Staffa BLACK TOP For macadam, black top or . bituminous type surfaces.
