Commenting on the 'brief

tendent of business, Jack
Labe, to the property tax
reform commission meeting
in Goderich .early this month,
• a number of the trustees who
also attended complimented
Mr. -'Lane for the way' he had°
*written .up the brief and •for
, the way he presented it to -the
commission. The trustees
:-said that not only were they
impressed •with `Mr. Lane's
presentation but the . mem-
bers of the. commission were
too and chairman Willis Blair
• said it -was' their eighth
.meeting and his was the first
positive brief ' that was of;
GODERICH, ..(;pndon
524-9075- .----•.,..-- it .
'representing v ite
fered. . of the board:
•
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Reinhart of Dartmouth; Nova Scotia
enjoyed a tour of Goderich with Tourist Committee member
Bert Squires and took_ time to visit the Lancaster.,.Memorial.
The Reinharts visited the Goderich'area for -two weeks with
Roy's father, Wilf Reinhart of Goderich... (staff photo)... .
Mr,.• Lane's brief proposed
an alternative to the Com- -
mission on 'property tax
reform ,that taxes on all
schools and school property
be funded by the government
in a manner similar to that
pr-oposed by owners of far-
mland',: farm buildings and
managed forests with the
same provision of recovery
for these taxes for the reasons
listed:
° + It will continue to permit
(as intended) a favourable
distribution -'of local
assessment: and costs among
local government units.
-1- It. will permit school
boards to finance all other
°costs (except taxes) as before -
regardless of wealth.
+ It: •will permit , the -
variable • degree to . which
school. boards are required to
purchase future school sites
in growthareas.
+ It may permit the con-
ttinuation of the operation of
Catholic high ' schools and
private schools where-
parents have been willing to
make a financial com-
mitment for the education
alternative.
▪ It will Provide for the
• recovery of taxes paid by the
province on schools .•and•
school sites, when and if
converted for other purposes.
The proposed provincial
property tax reforms' will
force 'school boards: to pay
property taxes on 50 percent
of all _schools and school •
properties. with' the promise
that this additional dost, from
which they are currently
exempt, will 'be returned in
the form of provincial grants.
However, concerned that
these provincial grants, will
not fully corxipensate, for the
additional tax cost .levied
against the board, Mr. Lane
prepared the brief on behalf.
