• council against tax evenin
AIL
BY ROBLEY L. IKELLER
•, You've got to be..kiddOigl That
seemed to be the attitude of
county councillors who voted last
Thursday at tile February session
' of council in Goderich to a
recommendation , from th.e
executive eillinnittee designed to
even-up-tax es-in Huron for county
„purposes:' •
Bill Clifford, reeve ofoderich,
urged county councillors to."look
at wlat is fair and what is -Oust"
when they perused 'figures that
shoi;ved - -what- -the ,verions-
municipal apportionments would
have been had the 1975 market
value assessment figures beerr
used in 1977, added to the
equivalent equalized assessment'
for grants in lieu, together with
the population base for library,
social services, Huronylew,
- family and children's services and
health costs.
In general, the figures showed
, that urban dwellers would have
, paid substantially less, into the
h county coffers, while the rural
dwellers yvonid have been
tagged with many, more tax
dollars. A recorded vote tallied
28-19 opposed to a committee
recommendation that the final
1978 county apportionment. be
raised on the system. -•
Those opposed. were , C. W.
Bray, Allan Campbell, Kep
Campbell, Rim Voiigitt:Trafilc

were absent front the meeting.
Warden-Gerry .0inn was a little
embarrassed about yeling in
opposition to the recommen-
dation, especially-whefehe was
acting. chairman of the executive
committee when it conceived the
recommendation.
"I believe there should be tax
reform," he said, "but I. believe
grant reform should come in with
it. But this does point up the fact
there are inequities."
"I 'don't. believe we.can. enter
into this before we see grant
reform," agreed Reeve Paul
• Steekle of ,Stanley Tivnship.
"We •need to 'know- where the
- grants are coming from and
where- they're directed." '
The results were surprising for
,some council members. It showed
that in every rural municipality

would have been an increase in

Credit System, designed to make'
taxation more equitable.. The

credits to the individlal's ability

designed to encourage greater
public participation in the
deinocratic process. _
Ontario's Tax Credit System is
administered as part of the
Federal Government's perso'iial-
income tax system, and the only
method of obtaining the-varions
credits js_to complete the special
pale purple coloured credit, form
(TIC(Ont.)) which is'inelticled with
income tax schedules. Even if
, there.: is, in fact, :no taxable
'income, this form must be filed
with the Federal Government. In
the event that a taxpayer has an•
outstanding liability for Income
Tax, Canada , Pension Plan or
Unemployment Insurance
contributions, the Tax Credits will
be applied to reduce this liability,
Otherwise, the Federal Depart- •
ment of National Revenue will
send'out a refund Cheque which
include the Tax Credits paid
by the Province- as well as any'
Federal Refund which may . be
payable. •
To be eligible for the Tax
Credits, you must be over 16

Tuckersmith would have paid a
total,of;r3 less than they actually
did y in 1977,. This was
attributed to a very accurate
assessment in 1970 and a very
even rate of real- estate inflation
through the' years.
The Town of. Goderich' Would
have paid $72,452 less in 1977
had the new formula been
applied. Wingham would have
paid $30,217 less Exeter,
$26,029 less; -Clinton, $21,151

Among the villages, Hensell
would have paid $5,892 less;
Zurich, $5,448 less; Brussels.
$4;238 less; Blyth, $2,718' less;
and Bayfield, $543 less.
Reeve Bill Elston ofMorris
argued that according to the.
figures, the people of Morris'Who
total about half , the people of
'Wingham would be "putting up"
almost as , much money as the
PeoPle-h3 Wiagham,.. The Morris
share of the expenses based on •
market value assessment would

share $62,472.

McKillop a ' lot emore money:"
observed Reeve Allan Campbell.
"That',1-two or three more
m on top of what we're paying now."

be counted on to inject humour
Into any situation, said that-if his
ratepayers had to raise much
more money each• yearIbe costs

would go up considerably.
Not to be outdone,. the reeve of
West Wawanosh, Bob LyOns Said,
Reeve Hallahan shonidn'equibble
since rAepayers in East
Wawanosh 'would have to come
up with just about half of the
increase that would be attached to
West Wawanosh,
Reeve Bill Clifford 'of the Tovvtt
COOderich asked that councillors
not be as concerned with how much
:mere the rural muniejpalities
would have to pay as with what
reduction would be applied' to
Goderieh. Reeve Clifford said it
was clear that Goderich had been
paying mord than its shar6 for
years and years.
".These are not arbitrary
figures," he reminded council..
"These figures are based on
facts, on work done by our
municipal assessors."
`11- will it ciiiird; be Made
retroactive," said Reeve Clifford.
"but I'll be quite happy to have it
made fair from this point on."
