RE"GARDING TAX ARREARS
We have at present $27,000.00 in tax arrears
which is an added burden on the Taxpayer.
In fairness to all taxpayers; we
intend to collect all tax arrears.
It is suggested that those in arrears be given
Thirty Days to pay same, or declare their inten-
tions to do so.
If after the 12th of May, 1956, no attempt or
arrangements have been made to pay arrears,
the Municipality is left with no other alternative
than to collect by a tax sale.

Pryde Reports on Legislature
For the past several years I through the southern part of the problem. It cannot be too strong -

Hospital Plan has also been set in viduals, or by groups? How will
motion by the passing of an Act these premiums be collected? Shall
establishing The Ontario Hospital it be by imposing further taxes on
what we buy as, for instance, by
a sales tax at the retail level, or
shall it be a combination of both?
I will not attempt ao answer either
of these questions, but the. Premier
has repeatedly said he wants to
be sure the kind of scheme put
into operation will give the people
of Ontario a hospital plan which
will be workable and meet the
needs of the people. Personally,
I have expressed the, view repeat-
edly that the position of the rural
co-operatives must be protected in
any scheme which may be adopt-
ed.
have written a report from the
Legislature which you have print -
These articles were mainly
concerned with the functions of
the Legislature and other matters
non-political. It was felt, however,
that anything I might write this Services Commission. This body
year would be a repetition, so I will plan and direct future hospi-
decided against a continuance of tal expansion so that it will fit in
the practice. However, since the
Session has now drawn to .a close,
I feel a brief review of what has
taken place might be of interest
to your readers.
The Session opened on February
1st with the usual Speech from the
Throne, in which some very impor-
tant measures were forecast and
much of it actually translated into
legislation- Something of very real
importance to Western Ontario hat
been started on • its course. The
Ontario Water Resources Commis-
sion has been former. Its func-
tion will be to devise ways and
means of piping water from the
Great Lakes to cities and towns
which have not an adequate sup-
ply readily available to take care
of their expansion and ever-in-
creasing needs. It will also have
power to control and try to cor-
rect the problem of pollution of
our rivers and streams. This is
a huge undertaking and will in-
volve millions of dollars of expen-
diture and years of work.
Possibly Stratford and the Kit-
chener -Waterloo area would draw
water from Lake Huron and a
pipeline from a point just north
of Grand Bend would be the short-
est route for such an undertaking.
If this comes to pass, many Places
with the needs of a national hos-
pital scheme. It ,will' also be
charged with the operation of the
Hospital Plan when it is finally
decided what form this will take.
The discussion on this subject has
been long and varied. Experts in
every phase of this matter have
appeared before the Committee
and almost everybody has a dif-
ferent ,opinion of what is meant
by a plan of hospital insurance.
Some think it should cover every
form of sickness and any length of
stay in hospital; others believe it
should cover only catastrophic ill-
ness, meaning that it should cover
only sickness of long duration
where a person may lose his all—
his farm, his home, or his busi-
ness.
As this involves negotiation be-
tween the Government of Canada
and the. Province, no agreement
has been reached on several points.
For instance, the government at
Ottawa does not plan to share in
the cost of operating sanatoriums
or mental hospitals. Ontario thinks
people in institutions of this nature
should be regarded as sick in the
same way as anyone who is con-
fined in a public general hospital.
These instances are mentioned to
indicate the complexity 0 of the
As the validity of the Farm Pro-
ducts Marketing Act is. in question
and will come before the Supreme
Court of Canada in the course .of
another month, very little has
been done about this Act at this
session. The Premier has . an-
nounced that a special session of
the Legislature will be convened
at a later date to consider this in
the light of the decision of the
Supreme Court.
Another bill of importance to
the farmer is the Brucellosis Act.
The Act has been entirely re -writ-
ten and now provides for:
1. Provincial administration un-
der a supervised area system.
2. Vaccinations and blood tests
will, be made without cost to the
cattle owner.
3. Cattle owners will be com-
What should I do about
AN N.H.A. LOAN?
Probably the most important aspect of
building a new home is financing it.
Under the regulations of the National
Housing Act we are permitted to make
loans for the purpose of constructing
a house.
If you're intending to build, or wonder-
ing if you can afford it, drop in and talk
it over with the 'manager of your.
' Toronto -Dominion Bank. He'll discuss
the N.H.A. regulations and explain them
to you.
No matter which of the 450 Toronto -
Dominion branches you go to, you can be
sure they'll be pleased to give you all the
information and 'help possible.

The Budget indicated that the
revenue and also the spending will
be at the highest level in the his-
tory of the province, Highway ex-
penditure will be at an all .time
high. In Huron the work at pre-
sent in progress on No. 8 High-
way will be continued. Paving
will be completed between Clinton
and Goderich; the grading and
culverts east of Seaforth will also
be finished and mohey is provided
in the estimates for paving as soon
as the road is in condition for this
operation, 'A 'similar situation ex-
ists on Highway No. 83, east of
Exeter. When grading is complet-
ed, paving is provided for. As
considerable planning and en-
gineering work is necessary be-
fore actual construction commenc-
es, I may say that the highways
in the County will not be neglect-
ed and engineering work is well
in hand. The expenditures on high-
ways far exceeds the revenue. The
income from gasoline taxes and
the license fees for cars and
trucks, etc.. will approximate 140
million dollars. Expenditure on
new construction will cost approxi-
mately 85 million dollars; main-
tenance will absorb 48 million dol-
lars; municipal subsidies for the
maintenance of their own , roads
and streets will account for 50 mil-
lion dollars. In addition, some 11
million dollars will be spent in
acquiring land for widening exist-
ing roads and building new four -
lane highways.
Over 108 million dollars is al-
lotted to education, which, with the
expenditures at the Ontario Agri-
cultural College, will account for
26 per cent of total government
spending. New schools are requir-
ed in increasing numbers, particu-
larly in the vicinity of the large
cities. Grants to school boards for
new construction have been re-
duced but all are treated alike.
The grant per room is the same
for a city school as it is for a
small town.
In all, over one hundred and
forty bills were enacted. Some of
these, of course, were of a minor
nature and involved simple chang-
es in the wording of an existing
Act, but designed to clarify its
meaning. Others are designed to
meet special situations, while still
thers have a very far reaching
effect on the whole province.

Committees perform a very real
part of the work of the Session.
Sixteen committees in all were ap-
pointed and your representative
was a member of fourteen of them.
As committee meetings are held
practically every morning after
the first week of the Session, it
would seem to indicate a very
busy time for the members.
As previously intimated^, a spe-
cial session of the Legislature will
be called, prboably in, June, and
there is a likelihood that another
one will be held in the fall of the
year. In view of all of this, it
will be seen that the job of being
a Member of the Legislature is
becoming a full-time one.
The- foregoing is a partial ac-
count of what took place during
the last session of the Legislature
and I trust it will be accepted by
my constituents as a report by
their member. It was a pleasure
to have so many people from Hur-
on visit with me at the Parliament
Buildings and sit in and observe
the House in session. To many it
was an old experience, but to oth-
ers it was new and interesting. I
hope from year to year during the
time the Legislature is in session
it will be my privilege to welcome
you in increasing numbers. The
Members regret that the facilities
for entertaining our constituents
are not equal to, what is available
at OttaWa, but that, too, is sofne-
tMng Which will •be lntproved' sit
time goes on. .
