Ontario government is going

io`The most serious matter
' facing voters is the cost of
government. At the present
time. our equalization factor
and thus our government
grants arc decreasing. This
means a careful eye must be
kept on spending in order to
prevent , significant tax
increases."
•"1 believe the previous
council has a most sat-
isfactory record. We have
been able to maintain our
sideroad building system,
have begun to surface treat
our concession roads. build a
new shed. pruchased a new
truck,,tas well as other capital
projects. But more
importantly. this has been
accomplished without an
increase in the municiPal tax
levy for the past two years."
•"With about 20 per cent
of .our concessions now
having been surface -treated.
there is n� question but that
we should continue. As
gravel costs increase and
supplies diminish. surface
treating will pay for itself in a
few years.••
