Doubts need for inspection EXETER - Councillor Ben Hoo- genboom said at Monday's council meeting he thought the Public In- spections Panel's report on Precious Blood should not have been made public. He said the embarrassing comments made by the panel about Open House A Tisket A Tasket wishes everyone a Merry Christmas 157 Main St., Exeter 235-0634 Wendy King & Pat McFalls the school's appearance should have gone directly to those con- cerned. Mayor Bruce Shaw noted the pur- pose of the panel is not to conceal its findings. "I think the point is, those reports have to be made public," said Shaw, adding that the panel is com- prised of public jurors, who com- ment on public buildings and present their findings to a public court. "This province has so many civil servants, why do we need these in- spection panels?" asked Klungel, who said the jurors were probably inexperienced in inspections any- -way. Shaw said he understood the ori- gin of the Inspection Panel was as a means of safeguarding the public interest by evaluating publicly- ! owned buildings, but he, too, ques- tioned their place in today's govern- Jr- ment structure.

Police Committee chairperson Dorothy Chapman told council Monday the bill will be $33,272.45, once all hardware and software has been purchased and installed and the staff trained in its use. The computer will be able to keep better track of all information on town police files, as well as sto- len and lost property. Chapman said the one concern the police committee had with the system's cost was its yearly mainte- nance contract, which amounts to nearly 56,000. "We have fought this and we think this is too much for a small municipality to bear, but as you know, with government, everything falls on deaf cars," said Chapman. In other business, reeve Bill Mickle told council the executive committee is going ahead with its recommendation to council that a bylaw or agreement with the Blue - water Recycling Association be drawn up prohibiting the dumping of materials at the Exeter landfill, after they have been collected in blue boxes for recycling. The idea, explained Mickle, is to prevent the return of those materi- als to the landfill even if a glut ex- ists in the recycling market. Mick - le cited examples in Toronto where newsprint, collected and baled for recycling, has ended up at landfills because not enough plants are cur- rently prepared to buy the paper.

Partnerships and to Publicly Traded Corporations and their Subsidiaries Starting in 1990, the rules by which business partnerships and publicly traded corporations and their subsidiaries direct their school tax support will change. This will affect the way the property assess- ment base is allocated among Public, Separate and French -language School Boards. • Business partnerships will acquire the right to support a Separate School Board, or the French -language School Board in Ottawa - Carleton, up to the proportion that the partnership is held by Separate School supporters or .French -language School supporters.

Until now, a corporation's support for a Separate School Board, or the French -language School Board in Ottawa -Carleton, could not exceed the proportion of shares held by Roman Catholics or Francophones. In order to implement this initiative, the Ministry of Revenue must amend its records to identify those business partnerships that wish w split their school tax support, and to identify all publicly traded cor- porations and their subsidiaries. Information about the new school support rules will he sent to you in the near future, along with a Notice of Property Valuation. Please review the new rules, and then check your Notice to verify that the Ministry of Revenue has correctly identified your school support. If it's not right, please tell us.
