The last bill to be debated before the end of the session was the Workmen's Compensation Bill, details of which were outlined in last week's article. Revenue Minister Arthur Meen informed the Legislature that consideration is being given to centralizing the administration of its new 50 percent Land Speculation Tax. He is looking at such centres as Thunder Bay, North Bay, Windsor, London, Hamilton and Ottawa to handle tax clearances. The Ministry of Revenue has been burdened with a heavy workload, providing a lot of lien clearance certificates when such were not in fact required, ac- cording to Arthur Meen. Until now the province has been ac- cepting affidavits from People dealing with property values but within two weeks it will be in a position to use assessment data to run its own checks on values, Meen said. A bill entitled the Family Law Reform Act was presented in the Legislature by Attorney General Robert Welch. If passed, this Act would abolish many of the laws that are patronising to women and often unfair to married men. Husbands and wives should be treated as individuals, the Act states. The fact that two people are married should not affect their right to sue each other in Court, get in and out of debt, sign con- tracts and act as a guardian or next friend to a child in a lawsuit. Asthelaw now stands spouses may not sue each other in Court. Recognizing a married woman as an individual in her own right will make her eligible to sign contracts and get credit on her own. It will also make her liable for any damages arising out of a breach of contract, The bill would do away with inequalities in the area of law called resulting trust. Currently, if a wife puts property in her husband's name, the law presumes she is giving to to him to hold in trust for her. The new Act says that the law will no longer presume that a woman gives property to her husband in trust unless specifically noted.

READ Resident Partner Bus, 235-0120, Res, 238.8075 Oxford was given lengthy debate and opposed by members of both Opposition Parties. Liberal Leader Robert Nixon charged that the provincial government is imposing a series of little Queen's Parks on Ontario minicipalities in the guise of restructuring local government. Nixon said regionalization is making local governments in- sensitive and remote to area residents. Opposition members opposed the bill because of local opposition to it, unconscionably increased costs of local govern- ment in other areas that have been regionalized and the con- centration of authority in the upper tier of the county govern- ment. Citing government figures, Nixon said the cost of local government has risen sharply in all part of the Province where restructuring has taken place, In Ottawa-Carleton expenditures went up 81 percent in the first four years after regionalization, he said. The rise in Niagara Region was 61 percent in three years. After two years of regional government in the district municipality of Muskoka, costs were up by 116 percent and in the same period taxes went up 76 percent despite increased provincial subsidies. In Waterloo the costs of services assumed by the regional municipality went up 36 percent in the first year of regional government and the province paid only one quarter of the start up cost and the balance was added to property taxes. Nixon said that in the case of the new region of Durham the taxes were to have gone up 28 percent this year despite $1.1 million in special provincial grants. The bill restructuring the county of Oxford reduces the number of municipalities in Oxford from eight to 18, It provides that elections will be held initially October 7, 1974 with Councils to hold office for two years. Having introduced a private members' bill last year and again this session to improve the safety of children travelling to and from school by bus, I am pleased to report that the Minister of Transportation and Com- munications, has accepted some of the recommendations and that pressure is gently being applied by the Ontario government on manufacturers to build better school buses. Some of the design im- provements the Minister has in mind for the utilitarian school buses, are to include higher seat backs to prevent whiplash in- juries in accidents and padding protection on the backs of seats to minimize head injuries. Legislation is likely in the fall to change the law that requires other vehicles to stop when a school bus is topped with red By MRS. STAN PRESZCATOR Weekend visitors with Mr. & Mrs. Leonard Wein were Mr, & Mrs. Alex Hamilton, Grand Bend and Eiber Lewis, Goderich Hospital. Mr. & Mrs. Stan Preszcator, Lorna and Barbara Glanville were Sunday supper guests with Mr, & Mrs. Philip Biernaskie and Angela, Kitchener. Lorna stayed to spend holidays with her sister and brother-in-law. Brenda Glanville is holidaying with her sister, Mrs. Elaine Foran, Huron Park. Mr, & Mrs. Jim McLeod, Huron Park, visited Sunday with Mrs. McLeod's parents, Mr, & Mrs, Marvin Wein, Mr, & Mrs. Jim Edwards, Walkerton, spent the weekend at their home in Crediton. warning lights flashing on roads where the speed limit is more than 35 miles an hour, The change will require other vehicles to stop regardless of the speed limit. Another recommendation which we made and which the Minister will consider is that the yellow and black stripes be made the mandatory identification for all school buses. We recommend that the colours be changed when they are no longer used as schoolbuses so that children do not mistake the identity of a schoolbus while waiting patiently on the side of the road for the bus to transport them to school. New legislation under the Juries Act will permit only Canadian citizens living in Ontario to serve on juries in the province. The new legislation also provides for the abolition of grand juries but a companion bill retains the grand jury's function of periodical inspection of public institutions such as jails. More than a dozen occupational groups have been removed from the exemption list which still lists senators, MP's, judges, lawyers, policemen, jailers, court officers and their wives and clergymen licensed to perform marriages in Ontario. Attorney General Robert Welch said he wanted a wide cross section of the public sitting on juries but a farmer called at harvest time could obtain a deferment, he added. Ontario's Guaranteed Income plan for the elderly will come into effect July 1st, but cheques will not be mailed until mid July. The bill which will guarantee an in- corne, of $260.67 a month for 'every lather' over the age of 65 as well as for the blind and the disabled, received final reading in the Legislature this week. Under the plan called the Guaranteed Annual Income System, the province will add up to $25.61 a month to federal benefits in order to bring the minimum income for a pensioner to $260.67 a month. The provincial benefits will be paid in mid- month to stagger a pensioner's income since federal benefits are paid in the beginning of the month. The blind and the disabled will receive their supplement at the end of each month starting in July with their regular Family Benefits payments. It has been my usual custom to terminate this article at the end of the session but with the ap- proval of the news media staff . will be pleased to continue this article during the summer recess.
