Municipalities that some one is thinking of the long-forgotten man — the Property owner who foots the bill for civic taxes. As the UBCM finance committee’s re- port ably pointed out, the property owner hos for too long been subjected to double taxation. Like every other citizen he pays his share of provincial and Federal government ser- vices through income tex and consumer tax- es such as the sales tax. And there are a few property owners who object to payments for these services which benefit all citizens. But he has every right 10 object to pay- 3rig.again in the form of municipal taxes which are intlated because the senior govern- ment insists that municipalities pay q sub- stantial share of provincial services. It can be argued that property owners can shift the burden of these taxes through higher prices or rents. But a careful analysis of all factors in the situation shows that this is just not so. Canadian Weekly Ever wonder what makes a weekly news- It can be argued, too, that the tax tead comes out of every pocket no,matter which government levies-the toll. . *, But the argument is evasive and mis-|Set these nets as they approach leading because it ignores the’ fact that muni- cipal taxes are levied on a particular group of tax payers —- the owners of real property| — and are in addition to the federal and Provincial taxes. Since the financial contributions to fro: vincial services are seriously handicapping local governments in providing much-need- ed local services, and since the property, owner is subjected to double taxation, ir/aware and Hudson Rivers in the seems only fair that the recommendations in the UBCM finance committee report should be adopted, This is: let each government bear the cost of its own services withcut the assiszance of the other. . It won't necessarily change the overall cost of government services, but it will show more clearly where the money is going cnd who is responsible for raising and spending it.

And the little industrial plant that publishes this weekly newspcper owes a good deol of its prosperity to just how well you think we do our job, If a notion is healthy, the main reason behind its health is that its small towns are vigorous, developing communities. Around the | centre of that energy ane vigor Canadian weekly newspapers are proud to feel they play an important part. 3 The weekly press is really the voice of small-town Canada. More than 700 of them. from ceast tn coast report and record local news cnd views. Through iheir advertising columns they aid in the gigantic job of mov- ing local ond national merchandise. Their job of informing you continues week-in and week-out, Whichever way you look at it they are the basic. medium of communication in the netion, . Now, during Canadian Weekly News- poper Week, is a good time for us to assess the importance of a Free Press. Look through this week’s issue of this paper. It won't be as fat as the New York Times nor will it have the circulation of Life Magazine. But it’s likely the only newspaper in the world that gives a hoot about your town. Its editor is ~ press.

Commercial fisherman take Atlantic salmon in gill ntts and the rivers to spawn, The value of the catch varies but in most years reaches $1,000,000.
