City demands
fax reform

PROPERTY TAXES should

not be used to support
schools, North Wancouver
City council has decided.

“A major reform is need-
ed,” Alderman Bill Sorenson
told aldermen of the present
taxation system, which has
local residents screaming in
the face of ; soaring
assessments.

Homeowners in the Lower
Mainland have complained
that they are now carrying
an unfair burden of school
taxation after their property
values took off to
stratospheric levels last year

Sorenson told council the
provincial government
should pay 100 per cent of
school costs, based on the
number of students in cach
school distnct

“School distnets should
then pay 100 per cent of
other, fnll, programs.” he

told council

North Vancouver City
council agreed the cost of
education should be remov-
ed from the property tax.

At the same time it en-
dorsed a resolution by the
Greater Vancouver Residen-
tial District (GVRD) that the
provincial government
lessen the property tax
burden on local citizens.

They'll be taking these
resolutions to the upcoming
meeting of the Union of B.C.
Municipalities.

The GVRD proposal calls
for a separate mill rate to be
set for the Greater Van-
couver area, 12 mills less
than that set for 1982

It also calls for revision of
the school fimancing for

“We can never have com-

" plete equality,” he said, “but

we should strive for the
fairest system we can.”

Alderman Stella Jo Dean
scomed the GVRD proposal
as a “band-aid” solution, but
urged that it be supported
for the immediate future.

Alderman Gary Payne
told council he agreed with
Sorenson that the provincial
government should pay 100
per cent of basic education
costs.

Sorenson also suggested
seniors be exempt from
school taxes.

Déan reminded aldermen
that in 1973 the provincial
share of school taxation was
78 per cent, but in 1981 1t had
shipped to 52 per cent

Alderman Ralph Hall said
