Ontario's minimum .wage will
rise from $2 to $2.25 an hour from
October 1st, announced this week
by Labour Minister John
MacBeth.
The minimum rate for
construction workers will go up at
the same time from $2.25 to $2.50-
an hour.
The rate for student workers,
working not more than 28 hours a
week or during school holidays,
will rise from $1.65 to $1.90 an
hour after October 1st.
The "learner rate" for workers
in the first month of employment
will go up from $1.90,to $2.15 an
hour.
Mr. MacBeth said that he could
not estimate the number of
workers in the Province who are
being paid the minimum,, but felt
it was something over 150,000.
An,Ontario Hydro estimate that
oil for thermal generating plants
will cost more than $11 a barrel by
1979 may be conservative,
Energy Minister Darcy
McKeough said this week.
Answering questions in the
Legislature Mr. McKeough said
the hydro cost projection made at
an Ontario Energy Board hearing
a few days ago may be low in light
of present inflationary trends..
The switch from coal to oil, on
several Hydro generating plants,
is going to cost Hydro an extra 50
million by 1979 because of these
oil price increases.
The Provincial Government
came under harsh opposition this
week following release of a report
showing that 26 Ontario firms
emit unsafe amounts of lead.
William Newman, Minister of
the Environment, was asked why
the Government had not taken
action to close the major polluters
in face of clear evidence of
excessive emissions.
Mr, Newman replied that most
of the companies mentioned in
the report . are under abatement
control programmes. .
The report showed that soil
around 26 of the 45 firms had
readings above the safe level of
600 parts per Million of soil.
A Bill to continue the freeze on
Municipal assessments for tax
purposes for another two years
has received first reading in the
Legislature.
Revenue Minister Arthur Meen
said that spiralling real estate
prices have made it impossible to
reassess Ontario properties at
their current market value,
The Province is to switch to
assessments based on current
market value in 1976 for taxes
that will be levied on properties.in
1977.
May and June 'are the most
popular months for visits to the
Parliament Buildings by
students. These past few weeks 1
have been pleased to see students
from the Grey Township Central
School, HowickCentral School
and the Turnberry Central
school. •••••••••••••••••••e
Road Slickness With summer
finally here, the Ontario Safety
League warns - drivers to SLOW
DOWN when it rains. Vehicles
drop oil on the roads and in dry
weather the oil accumulates. Add
to this the accumulation of tire
dust and dirt and you. ,have a
hazard building up comparable to
any winter ice condition. Even a
light shower wilt turn this residue
into a fine slippery film. In a
heavy downpour it may take only
about 30 minutes to flush the film'
off the highway. A slow, gentle
rain may take as long as two
hours or more.
