Ontario NOK Chev 14 — THE BRUSSELS POST, MAY 3, 1978 Report from Queen's Park Hiring freeze replaces OHIP rise by Murray Gaunt, mop.p, The Proxineial Treasurer has. been forced by the combined Opposition Parties to back down on the major*revenue-raising item in his March 7th Budget, It was the Treasurer's intention to raise the OHIP premiums by 32.5%. as of the 1st of May,. increasing - single monthly coverage from $16. to $22, family coverage from, $32 to $44. In a statement in the Legislature • on Tuesday, April. 26th, the rfreasurer announced that the premium increase will.be reduces 50% - to 18.75%. - resulting in a rate of $19 it month for individuals and $38 a month for families. Had •- the originally planned premium increase bedn put into effect, some „$271 million in additional revenue would have been generated, to pay a higher share of the Province's health care costs. At the new lower -rate, premiums will only generate $126 million more. To make up the • difference,. the Treasurer an- nounced that the Government will. reduce spending by $73 .million, partly by means of a freeze on hiring in the civil service: Also, the Minister of Revenue' . has introduced -a, bill to raise the Corporate -Income Tax one. per- centage point. This tax rate will now rise to 13% • for tinge companies and 10% for small • firms. . • • It is anticipated. that the hiring freeze will result in a reduction. by attrition in the civil service of sonic 4,400 employees, at a saving of about $35 million. Sumther:students jobs will not be 'affected. The.Ontario Development -Cor- , poration loan program. will Te- ceive $37 million instead of the -. proposed $47 million. Highway construction will be reduced by $5 million, gOvernment building eon struction by $2 million and university capital projects by $4 'Loans by the Ontario Housing Corporation will be reduced by $8 million and the Northern Ontario - regional priority program will be cut by $9 million, making up the total of $73 million in spending nuts by the Government. • The Premier has agreed to our proposal that a select committee bp established to' study alter- native methods of financing health care in the long-term, A report prepared by the Council of Ontario Universities states that twice as many teachers graduated in 1977 than were required by provincial schools and the market is, expected to deteriorate before it begins to improve. At the high school level, according to the report, the supply' of teachers -is three times the demand: More than 3,000 high school teachers graduated in 1977 and only slightly more than 1,000 were reqttired. Projections outlined in 'the report indieate that the demand-for high school teachers will fall to near zero by 1981 or 1982 and then increase slightly., The demand for elementary teachers will, ap- parently, remain constant until early in the next decade, when it will begin to increase a little. An accused traffic offender could offer an explanation in his defence by letter , rather than court appearance under a pro- posed systeM for streamlining provincial .1a w . The Provincial Offences Act and. Provincial Courts Amend- ment Act introduced thiS week by Attorney General Roy McMurtry would give a person who receives a ticket four choices. The person could pay the tine out of Court, drop in at the Court at his convenience before the trial date to plead guilty before a justice of the peace and offer an diplanation to reduce his sentence, plead not guilty by,„mail or request a trial by checking a box on the ticket and returning it in a reasonable amount of time, probably a few weeks.. 'Millions'of dollars will be saved because under the proposals 'those who do not request a trial may be convicted without a trial thus avoiding the need for pplieemen to show up to 'Obtain a conviction.., Further the huge backlog of cases can be cleared up, Under this system there would be less emphasis on formal court appearances, technical and. adversarial procedures. Judy LaMarsh was called' be- foye the Public Accounts Commit- tee this week to explain the 2.2 million cost of her Ontario Royal Commission into violence in the' media. 'File Commission was an extra ordinarily controversial one from the beginning because much of its study was outside the jurisdict- ional responsibility of- • the province.

Ontario Hydro is seeking to increase its wholesale power rates to municipal utilities 9.8% ef- fective Jan. 1, 1979. , • This year Hydro,-increased its rates 9.5% but the increase has beenlessened by rebates by more than 7% that were passed on to customers., Reuben Baetz, Energy Minister, said he will take steps to have the Ontario Energy Board closely - scrutinize the Hydro proposal to see what, if any, margin of that increase can, be trimmed. 1973 FORD FWD -F 1.00 RANGER XLT 4981 1,2 ton u Radio.
