Y Wednesday, April 8, 1970 SAANICH PENINSULA AND GULF ISLANDS REVIEW PAGE THREE After a long debate on the financial implications of the transfer of the Metropolitan Board of Health to the Regional Board, Central Saanich council on Monday resolved to inform the government that it is opposed to any reduction in the provincial share of the costs. According to a letter received from Health Minister Ralph Loff- mark, two alternatives. were offered: (1) sharing two-thirds by the province and one-third by municipalities, with necessary monies for increased staff on non- sharable basis, or (2) new letters patent so that the Regional Board may impose levy on munici- palities for necessary funds on non-shareable basis. “I can say right away that this is just the start of negotiations and no meetings involving the ministry, school board. and regional board have yet been held.’’ said Mayor A.

We are quite prepared to do so as long as itis a fair share.’’ said the Mayor. He said the Minister’s proposals are ceptable’ to the Regional District. The proportion should be nearer an 80 to 20 percentage, he said. “This looks like another move of the provincial government to “quite unac- granting powers to the Regional Board to levy taxes,’’ suggested Alderman Don MacLaurin. “If this is not a fourth level of government. as. Mr. Campbell has said,-what then-is it?. com- mented Alderman Ted Clayards. “It is giving powers of taxation to a body that is appointed, not directly elected,”’ he observed.

Alderman Nell Horth' said that the plan had been hastily set up and she regarded. it as ‘“‘patch- work," while. Alderman: -T.. C. M. Davis was anxious that council should not appear - to. accept the Minister’s proposal.
