Report From
aveens..
Park
by Murray Gaunt„M.P,P.
The big news in the Legis-
lature this week was the Budget
brought down by Provincial
Treasurer Darcy McKeough, in
which drivers, drinkers and
smokers appear to be the hardest
hit.
The Government plans to
spend $5.051 billion this year,
up from $4.836 billion in 1971-72.
It is expected to take in $4.454
billion in taxes, fees and other
revenues, up from $4.183 billion
a year ago. The budgetary def-
icit will be $597 million.
To raise as much revenue
as possible, and yet keep the
deficit below $600 million, while
at the same time providing a
budget that was "expansionary
and progressive within the limits
of moderation" was, aqpa.rently,
the desired goal.
Everybody who drives a car
will have to pay more for lic-
ences, more for gasoline and
more to drive over toll bridges.
Homeowners in middle in-
come and higher brackets will
pay more taxes.
Direct aid to local govern-
ments will be increased, while
at the same time the province
if forcing municipalities to ,
appear to raise their taxes
because of the elimination of
the basic shelter exemption re-
bate against taxes.
There is a formula for cal-
culating the tax credits which
will be the new form of tax
relief to municipal property own-
ers and tenants.
Beginning April 17th, drink-
ers will pay $5 instead of $4.65
for a 24-bottle case of beer. A
25 ounce bottle of liquor will
cost 25/ to 34 more. Wine will
increase from 15/ to 20/ for a
26 ounce bottle. Draft beer will
no longer be exempt from sales
tax. Liquor increases will gen-
erate approximately $38 million
in revenue.
From midnight March 29th the
tax on a package of cigarettes
will increase by 1.2/ for twenty.
Tobacco and cigar taxes have
nearly doubled. These charges
will bring in an additional $12
million.
The new fees for licence
plates for' 1973 will be $23,
$32 and $40 for four, six and
eight cylinder cars.
At midnight March 29th the
tax on a gallon of gasoline was
increased from 18/ to 19/, but
the refund rate for gasoline used
for industrial, farm and other
off-highway purposes remains
,at 13/ a gallon.
University and Community
College tuition fees will go up
by $100.
Asked about his promise dur-
ing the election campaign not to
raise taxes this year, Mr. Mc-
Keough said he felt the increases
were not really tax increases
in the true sense, but rather
they represented increases" in
the nature of user fees or rela-
ted to certain services".
Generally, the tenor of the
budget stressed economic growth
during a so-called period of
repair and reconstruction.
UCW Meets
The U.C.W. Evening Unit of
Brussels United Church met in
the church basement on Monday
evening. Rev. Stairs from Brant-
ford showed slides on a Lep-
rosy Mission. The Afternoon
Unit met on Tuesday afternoon
at the home of Miss Laura Lucas.
Mrs. Carl Hemingway conducted
the devotions.
The auditorium of the church
was filled for the Easter ser-
vice last Sunday. The choir ren-
dered special Easter music in-
cluding a duet by Miss Linda
Wilson and Mr. Murray Hoover.
The series of special ser-
vices will continue next Sunday
April 9, When members of the
Huron County Junior Farmers
will assist.
