Blue Box!
Recycling is working in Wingham! In 1989
we have recycled over 104,000 kg. or 230,000
lbs. of garbage. That's after only 9 months of
using our Blue Boxes. We are reducing the
garbage that goes into our dump and
conserving our limited natural resources.
There's more that can be done too! By using a
composting bin as well as the Blue Box, we
can reduce our household garbage by as much
as 501®. Also, don't forget that little things like
re -using shopping bags can make a big differ-
ence.

PROPERTY ASSESS 1: NT
ANO SCHOOL TAXES
Notice to Business 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, all partners had to be Roman Catholic or Francophone
and agree to do so.
• The property assessment of publicly traded corporations and their
subsidiaries will be shared between Public and Separate School
Boards in the same area, and in Ottawa -Carleton by the Public,
Separate and French -language School Boards, in proportion to each
board's residential and farm assessment. 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 to
split their school tax support, and to identify all publicly traded cor-
porations and their subsidiaries.
Information about the new school ,support rules'will be 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. A reply form will be included with the
Notice.
Your cooperation will ensure the proper allocation bf your school
taxes to the School Boards in your area_
