Former area boat builder faces continuing adversities Adversity is nothing new for Howard Hughes, former owner of Hughes Columbia at Huron Park, but the man who has rebounded from business losses in the past is tackling a new foe now. The following story, written by Lorne Slotnick of the Globe and Mail, details the latest battle being fought by the former boat builder. Another winter storm sweeps through southern On- tario and the burned -out house on a back road near Orangeville fills with snow. "The pipes are frozen now," says the owner, Howard Hughes. "You can't heat a house with no roof. Hughes, 50, used to be a millionaire with big ambi- tions, but his sights are set lower now. He just wants to fix up his home and move out of the trailer where he, his wife and three children have lived for three months. But Hughes, can not get the insurance moey to repair the ' house - it's tied up in limbo because Revenue Canada wants it. "I'm not a high-profile per- son. I've tried to deal with this without making waves," Mr. Hughes says in a quiet voice. "But I'm getting very, very angry." He feels federal bureaucrats are kicking him while he's d9Wn, all for a 540,000 tax claim he believes is dubious, and under legisla- tion that wasn't even in effect when the claim arose. Two years ago, Hughes company, Hughes Columbia Inc., was the second largest manufacturer of pleasure boats, with 250 employees and a main plant in Centralia. Ont. The recession hit him hard, and, as he puts it, "the dominoes came tumbling down quickly." In June, 1982, the company went into receivership. When the receiver moved in, the company had not yet remitted to Revenue Canada the 535,000 deducted the previous month from employees' pay cheques. Ilughes says the money wasn't even due for another week. "But in any event, Revenue Canada made a deal with the receiver to stand down so the employees could get their last two weeks' pay," Hughes said. "They agreed to forego the taxes, and as far as we are concerned. Revenue Canada had gone away." In March of this year, the company was sold off by the receiver. Hughes continued working for the new owners until October - six weeks after an arsonist gutted his 8300,000 home. (Police confirm the fire was arson, but have not charged anyone.) Shortly after the fire, which his three children narrowly escaped, Revenue Canada was back, armed with new retroactive legislation that made directors like Hughes personally liable for tax claims against companies. "They went after my bank accounts, but there wasn't anything in them . Then they put in a third party demand on the entire proceeds of the insurance of November, ef- fectively stopping all rebuilding on the house. 1 can't replace our clothing, furniture, or any personal effects." Max Stewart, the insurance i Professional CAR CLEANUP Call Gord Hay *woo. Blur 235-0660 adjuster on the case, says pvments to Mr. Hughes were started but the rest of the money is now in limbo because of Revenue Canada's claim. Hughes says he is sup- posed to get more than 8200,000 in insurance money, 5187,000 alone for the house. Right now, he says he is just living on his savings. "When I got notice (of Revenue Canada's claim), I called . them. We had our backs to the wall; we had just the clothes on our backs, no personal effects, my house was destroyed, and I was fired, and they tell me, I owe 540,000 for 'a default that wasn't mine." "Any money we had in the bank, I had to take out before Revenue Canada could get it," he adds. He says an official from Revenue Canada's Kitchener office told him three weeks ago that tax officials would hound him until the day he died and that after he died they would hound his estate. "They told me they never forgive and they never forget." Hughes says he took the case to his MP, Tory revenue critic Perrin Beatty, and call- ed deputy revenue minister B.A. McDonald. He says he's "heard nothing", from the deputy minister. MacDonald said in a telephone interview that he cannot comment on the Hughes case because of the confidentiality provisions of the Income Tax Act "Our department is engaged in the collection of taxes," he added. "If assets are available we will attempt to realize on the assets." The Kitchener office of Revenue Canada has been cited recently by Mr. Beatty and other Tory MPs who are waging a campaign against what they charge is unfair treatment of taxpayers by the department. The Tories say tax auditors are operating under a quota system which encourages harassment. Asked about the Hughes . situation, Mr. Beatty said that "in more than 11 years in Parliament, I've never seen a case like this... This ex- emplifies the tactics being us- ed by Revenue Canada.

Both he and Hughes con- demn Revenue Canada for not negotiating or discussing the issue, but rather putting a claim on the money im- mediately. "Can't they let him get back on his feet and pay it back at a reasonable schedule?" Mr. Beatty asked. "If they drive him into bankruptcy, they won't get a penny." Hughes says neither he nor his wife has any income, and with his savings running out, he is intending to apply for unemployment insurance. He has filed an appeal of the tax department's claim on his in- surance money, but as things stand, he cannot get any of the money at least until the appeal is heard several months from now. "They say that if it takes two years they can wait," Hughes said. "They are the most abrasive objectionable people in the entire world." When his business was booming, he said, he paid "many many millions in taxes... But when you hit bot- tom, the bottom's an awfu; long way down. If we have an' obligation, we'll pay it. But all we've ask- ed Revenue Canada to do is to allow the courts and the ap- peal process to establish whether we're liable before they take the money " WANTED TO BUY Antique cupboards.
