Bailey then noted that more than
half of the municipal tax bill
presently goes to education. "It's
not a service to property, it's a ser-
vice to people and yet those who
own a second property or have a
large mortgage are forced to pay
more for education."
Because of the high education
tax, Bailey said, councils are forced
to be frugal in managing their com-
munities and as a result are now
losing many services.
Referring to the tax revolt in the
early 70s, Bailey said that it's time
someone tried to do something
about the education taxes. "I don't
know any council that has more
will to do something than this
council."

Councillor Doug Scrimgeour
commended Reeve Bailey on his
idea and agreed that the cost of
education should be removed from
property tax.
Bailey then read a letter that he
had written seeking support from
other municipalities. The letter sug-
gests that notice should be collec-
tively served to the government
that as of January 1997, municipali-
ties will discontinue collecting edu-
cation taxes. "For many years this
has been an unfair way to fund
this."
Clerk-Treasurer John Stewart
said that the material cost would be
approximately $1 a letter to be sent
to 800 municipalities, which would
take staff about two days to do.
