FOR HURON t, !I,/111, on. /111,It1111t/111111tt//• Report from parliament Hill Over the past week or so, the business of Canada's govern- ment has been carried on under the shadow of two major econ-. omic trends that affect every Canadian closely and colour every debate in the Ho u s• a of Commons. These two trends are, con- tinuing inflation and the steady -increase in government spending and hence, the steady increase in taxation. The first--inflation--is most clearly revealed by rising in- terest rates. A week ago Fri - 'day, the Bank of Canada raised its rate from 6 1/2% to '`I%. This rate is the rate at -which the central bank lends money to Canada's chartered banks and is the prime indicator of our na- tional money market. The sharp increase in this basicsate of in- terest indicates that inflation is still very much a factor in the , Canadian economy and could continue to grow unless meas- ures are taken to discouragebor- rowing. f Such Sri increase irl the Big of Eanada rate is, email fell ed by a matching intreaae'tri the rate at which the chartered banks lend money to their cust- omers. So, you can expect an increase in the cost df any mon- ey you borrow from your bank, very shortly. As to rising government ex- penditure, early last week the government tabled supplemen-, tary estimates for the fiscal year 1968-69 amounting to close to $152 million dollars. This is in addition to the more than $10 1/2 billion already asked for to run the country -.up to April 30th. In bringing in the additional bill for the,Canadian taxpayer, the President of Treasury Board said $105 million of.the new amount was to meet "contin- gencies" --by which he said he meant wage and salary increases it was expected would be requir- ed, for the Civil Service. The original cost of govern- ment for the year plus the addi- tional amounts now required go far towards explaining the ne- cessity for the recent increase in taxes sought by the Minister of Finance. Parliament has already proved the new programme of taxation of estates which will leave estates under $50,000.00 not taxable, but estates over East Wawanosh Council met . • in regular session on March 4 with Reeve Roy Pattison in the chair. C. W. Hanna, road superin- teedent, will attend the C.S. Anderson Road School. The registration fee of $50. 00 will be paid by council. The fire insurance premium of $13. 50 • was paid to Howick MutualFire Insurance Co. and the $15.00 membership to Huron Soil and Crop Improvement Association was also paid. A motion that the Depart- ment of Highways approve the • transfer of allotments in the 1968 by-law, $6, 664.24 from construction Of roads .to main- tenance of roads ,was passed. Council accepted the gravel tender submitted by Joe Kerr Limited, W ingha m; the tender of Frank Cooper, R. R.1, Bel - grave as warble fly operator at $2.00 per hour; and the tender •of Howatt Bros. R. R. 1, Bel - 'grave, for the purchase of the Chev. army truck at $100. 00. John Gaunt, drainage inspec- tor, reported on the Ontario' • Farm Drainage meeting held in London. There were no appeals on the Rintoul Drainage Works. The by-law to provide forthis drainage works was passed. Other by-laws given the ne- cessary readings and passed were for providing for the erec- tion of stop signs at intersections and for yield right-of-waysigns. Road cheques totalled $3,- 321. 58 and general cheques amounted to $703.08.

This year, Huron County -will be hosting one on a county -wide basis. ' Electric Club members must be boys and girls at least 16 years of age by January lst,1969 and who will not have reached their 21st birthday by December 31st of the current year. The basic objectives of .the club are to create a better un- derstanding of the application and uses of electricity on the farm and in the farm home and secondly to focus attention on the safe use of electricity on the farm and in the farm home, SLnce.,the club will be a , county -wide club, it will be of- fered at each organization meeting during the week of March 17 to 21. Times and to . cations for these meetings can be found in this paper. $50.000.00 will be calculated from the $20., 000.00 figure. Before it, still is the proposal for a 2% "Social Development" tax to be levied on incb me. This measure will shortly come before us for consideration and, according to forecasts in Ot- tawa, May or June may see ad- ditional tax proposals brought forward to meet spiralling costs. Rising interest rates closely affect another subject now be- fore the House --housing. You will recall the report on housing brought down by the task force headed by the Minister of Trans port recently. Since his report was tabled, he has been making very optimistic statements in the House and elsewhere' about the huge' amounts of mortgage money that will be available to carry out his report's recommen- dations ands reach the target of construction of 200, 000 n e w homes this year. It now appears that the in- crease in interest rates already, in force, and the probability of In °ever' 'higher rate in the near 'future,. 'will reduce rather thaltt bold' `dip' the pool -of iiive�tiidn "capital necessary to provide such a large number of n e w homes. • The House of Commons has also been dealing with other measures that might be classi- fied as "housekeeping" legisla- tion--bilirovid ing for n e w government departments and the amalgamation of others. Through this reform of depart- ments, the government hopes to be able to tackle major prob- lems such as regional disparity, unemployment and national de- velopment in a more effective manner.
