A drastic reduction in the number of police forces in Ont- ario has been recommended by a task force as a means of averting cost crisis. The Task Force on policing found two potential threats to the quality of police work and one of its suggested solutions is eliminat- ing more than 100 forces to mak( more efficient use of blue unif- ormed manpower. The report recommends that the number of operating forces by cut from the present level of 179 to bet- ween 30 and 40. It would leave 21 city and 10 regional • police forces. In addition there would be 29 agreement areas in the south and 10 in the north areas, where through agreement pol- icing would be handled by the OPP or large neighbouring force. The policing Bill in Ontario in 1972 was $229.3 million and had average an annual rate of increase better than 1610. The cost is outstripping the Munic- ipality's ability to pay to the point where in six years spending demands would be $55 million more than the cash available, the report said. Ontario is willing to see the price of Western Canadian crude oil rise to $6.00 a barrel but only if it is going to stay there for a least two years. Energy Minister Darcy McKeough said he does not want a price rise on April 1st, the date the current Federal freeze is scheduled to expire to be just the first step up the ladder to $7.00 then $S. 00 and on up to whatever the world'; monopoly price might be. The Federal Government has frozen the price of Western crude at ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS $4, 00 a barrel until March 31. Mr. McKeough strongly attacked the desire of the producing Prov- inces, Alberta and Saskatche- wan to raise the price to the world level of about $10.50 a barrel. The Energy Minister THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1974 said art increase to $6.00 would add approximately 6¢ a gallon to the cost of heating oil and gasoline in Ontario. A jump to $10.50 a barrel would add al- most 200 a gallon. This "flies in the face of national interest, McKeough said, The net imp- act on. Ontario of a move to $6.00 crude would be to add cost of $350 million a year to people of the Province. Alberta' net benefit would be $750 million. Thought about the cost of prescriptions lately?
