province's labour incentive program,
this would cost Windsor more than
$750,000 for materials and equipment,
in order to take advantage of the $1:5
million grant; Windsor recommended
that the province either roll back the
tax, changes or at least defer im-
plementation until 1983, thus giving
the city anopportunity to make some
accommodation • for the increased
costs in its budget.
Crop W .
Insurance Information
Attempts to have flax added to the.
1983 crop : list to be insured by the
provincial plan have been frustrated.
The board has apparently decided to
'postpone any decision with respect to
adding flax to the insurable crop list
for one . year, which means that flax.
will not be insured. fbr 1983.

Minister of Health has allocated
