"Revisions to the county and school board cost-sharing arrangements using a uniform assessment base have caused tax changes for some residential and farm ratepayers within the county," Mr. Riddell said. "The funding being provided will assist those residential and farm ratepayers who experienced tax increases as a result of the new assessment base." ' Funds are provided to municipalities under the Ontario Unconditional Grants program when the minister believes that property taxes are unduly high or may be unduly increased due to circumstances beyond the control of council. Canada Post announces policy Canada Post has announced that beginn- ing on Wednesday, January 3, 1989 customers who depend on lockboxes in postal facilities as the primary mode of delivery will receive this service free of charge effective on their lockbox renewal date. "This initiative, identified in Canada Post's Corporate plan released in May 1988 will be of particular interest to rural customers." said John Fellows, General Manager, Collection and Delivery for Canada Post. "Approximately one million Canadians, most of them rural, will benefit from this program." To ensure customers are fully informed about guidelines for free lockbox service and have the opportunity to comment, Canada Post will provide details through householder information prior to the end of October. This is another step in a national urban and rural delivery policy which en- sures that the primary mode of delivery for all Canadians is free of charge. As is now the case, customers will continue to be charged a fee if they choose an alternate available delivery service in preference to the primary mode of delivery. "There is no question that postal services in rural Canada are not only being maintain- ed, they are being improved," said Fellows. "Providing free lockbox service is a tangi- ble benefit that supports our committment to better service. Canada Post is in rural Canada to stay. No longer will rural Cana- dians have to pay for receiving a letter as well as sending one."
