MOTIONS OF COUNCIL
Seaforth Town Council dismissed a mo-
tion supporting a resolution from the Town
of Paris, which suggests Cable Television
Companies be required to make a payment
in lieu of taxes (called a Gross Receipts
Tax).
The Town of Paris indicated it felt the
Minister of Municipal Affairs should add a
clause to the Municipal Act requiring
Cable T.V companies to pay this extra tax
because they are utilizing municipal right-
of-ways and streets for their wires and
plant, charge individual tesidents or pro-
perties for the use of these cables, but do
not have to make any payment to the
municipality in lieu of taxes under the cur-
rent legislation. Other utilities such as
phone and gas companies are required to
make an additional payment to the
municipality.
Seaforth Council generally agreed any
move by the municipality to ask for fur-
ther money from the Cable company
would probably result in higher rates for
the consumer.
In another matter, council adopted a
resolution from the Town of Fergus con-
cerning rail service in Ontario.
The Town of Fergus recommended the
National Transport Agency through the
Federal Government, implement a
moratorium on all current applications
and future applications for discontinuance
of rail services by Canadian National
Railways and Canadian Pacific Railways.
It suggests no further track, trestles or
bridges be allowed to be removed, or rail
corridors be allowed to be assigned, or
other rail properties sold, until a complete
study has been done by the federal and
provincial governments on the effect of
rail service throughout the county, and the
feasibility of instituting regional rall
service.
In a third motion members of council
voted against a motion from the Town of
Iroquois Falls which asks that the pro-
vince of Ontario be petitioned to provide
funding to assist municipalities to retrofit
municipal administrative facilities to pro-
vide equal access to all persons.
