The province's’ sehool
trustees are stressing the need
for equity in B.C.’s property tax
system In order to ensure ef-
fective local involvement in the
operation of schools,

in a brief sent to the govern-
ment’s legislative committee on
municipal matters, the B.C.
School Trustees Association has
recommended a series of sleps
to improve the present lax
system without doing away with
property tax as such, which now
provides over 80 percent of all
education expenditures. The
Assacialion feels the removal of
property taxes for education
would only serve to strengthen
central control of education
from Victoria. ° -

Tn an appearance before the
legislative committee
scheduled for this Friday (Oct.
18) school board represen-
tatives will review their
recommendations and answer
the committee’s questions,
Trustees are recommending the
replacement of the present
Homeowner Grants and
Resource Dividends System by
“Bdueation Tax Rebates,”
which would be payable to
people renting accommodation
as well as homeowners. (A
similar system is now in effect
in Manitoba and Ottawa.) They

The school trustees also feel ~~
that much of (he current con- |
