The big news in the Legislat-
ure this week was the Govern.
ment's "Mini Budget" or
what has been described as some
"fine tuning" of the economy,
covering initiatives valued at
$178 million intended to insure
that more houses are built,
more jobs created, the elimin-
ation of the 5% Ontario Sales
Tax on most new North American
built cars and station wagons,
and the lowering of wine prices
by 5 or 6 cents a bottle.
The Provincial Government also
served notice that it will not
enter into any more shared cost
programs with Ottawa, and
wishes to opt -out of the nation-
wide health care sharing arrange-
ment, to run its own programme

in return for 17 points ($1.1
billion this year) of the personal
income tax.
Like the headline oriented sales
tax cuts in the main Ontario
budget brought down in April,
the rebate on new cars, which
should average $175, will last
only until the end of December --
well beyond the provincial elect-
ion, likely in the fall.
Provincial Treasurer Darcy
McKeough announced that Prov-
incial spending would be cut by
$178 million to balance the bill
of the latest initiatives, but stated
the estimated deficit has jumped
another $100 million to a record
$1.76 billion. Ontario's April
budget was based on the as-
sumption that crude oil and nat-
ural gas prices would not be
increased again this year and
both were raised in the Federal
budget forcing Ontario to recal-
culate. When questioned about
the inaccuracy of April budget
forecast, the Treasurer said "i
don't get any pleasure from
being proved wrong."
The mini -budget included prov-
ision for:
$30 million more this year to
encourage increased housing,
most of which is to finance fully
the building of the first of 4,000
senior citizen units;
$12 million more for sewer and
water projects;
$17 million for improved pen-
sion benefits for retired civil
servants and teachers; increas-
ed student allowances from

Ontario Liberal Leader Robert
Nixon has called the mini-
budget "the crassest kind of
political opportunism" and chall-
enged Premier Davies to call a
provincial electionto gauge
public response. He reminded
a press conference that the Lib-
eral Party had advocated removal
of the sales tax from new cars
at least a year ago, and referring
to the Government's proposed
housing incentives, said he had
expected something more than
the "minimal increase" announc-
ed. "This is clearly an election
budget," he said. "It follows
in the train of thought dominat-
ing Tory policy decisions rec-
ently in that all of them are
designed to gain political credibil-
ity for Conservatives, who had
been losing popular support"
In other news this week, Ont-
ario Hydro has undertaken to
"look at" a suggested auster-
ity programme "but it would be
silly to promise anything now.
We haven 't really had much time
to study it yet," Hydro Chair-
man Robert Taylor says. Even if
the utility does adopt the cuts
recommended' in the Provincial
Treasurer's mini -budget, the
province might not get the sav-
ings it wants, he `added, and
maintained that Hydro is already
looking at ways to cut capital
spending costs. Hydro apparently
faces a $125 million deficit this
year which "rose from $62
million predicted because of a
drop in sales "outside the prov-
ince, mostly to the United States.
Taylor predicted an $86 million
deficit in 1976.
George Kerr was asked to
assume his former responsibilit-
ies as Solicitor General of Ontario
He resigned from his cabinet post
when he was implicated in the
Hamilton harbour dredging trial,
following an allegation that a
$10,000 contribution was made
to his election campaign in return
for his support of the people
carrying out the operation.
Mr,. Justice Thomas Callon has
stated that there was no evidence
that Mr. Ker "was involved in
any impropriety" with respect
to the dredging of the harbour.
The Bili dealing with mo-
peds was amended and received
Legislative approval this week
raising the moped riding age from
14 to 16 and requiring a driving

Grants for the implementation
of the Ontario Home Renewal
Program (PHRP) have been alloc-
ated to the Village of Zurich, the
Town of Clinton and the Town-
ship of Hay.
OHRP provides per capita
grants to Ontario municipalit-
ies to administer directly as
loans to homeowner occupants
to repair their homes to an
acceptable municipal minimum
standard.
Zurich has been allocated
$14,500 at this time, which rep-
resents 50% of the total 1975-76
funding designated under OHRP
for the municipality.
Clinton has been allocated
$9,500 which represent approx-
imately 25% of the 1975-76
funding under OHRP .for the
Municipality and the Township
of Hay has been allocated
$8,212 which also represent
25% of the 1975-76 funding
designated under OHRP for the
municipality.
The prime objective of the
program is the correction of
faulty structural and sanitary
conditions and the upgrading of
plumbing, heating and electr-
ical systems of the owner occup-
ant's home.
Mr. Donald Irvine, the Minister
of Housing said that OHRP is dir-
ectly oriented to low and mod-
erate income families, with a
maximum annual income of
$12,500.
The maximum amount of the
loan, as determined by the
local municipality is $7,500.
