Dear Editor:

. The Provincial Govern-
ment’s crackdown on local
municipal budgets and mill
rates is just another political
grandstand play which will

inevitably result in a
reduction of municipal
services while relieving

municipal councils of their

responsibilities to local
taxpayers. .
The Government is

donning the mantle of fiscal
responsibility by limiting
municipal budget increases
to 5 per cent over 1978 and
putting a stop to increases in

. the mill rate for municipal

. purposes.

On the other hand, it is
precisely because of the
financial policies of this
same government that taxes

to. the homeowners have
increased so. dramatically
over the last few years. '

For instance, only last
month’ Victoria announced
that, it will raise the
education levy on property
taxes by yet another 62
million dollars.

_. Victoria’s interference, at
first glance, will appear to be
beneficial, especially in
municipalities such as the

Birth control
‘genocidal’

Dear Editor:
' Re your article “Birth
‘Control Pioneer Honored”
. Jan. 10)... °

Because of “Birth Control”
Measures brought about by
Dorothea Ferguson and
“Woman’s Lib” — (Abortion
On Demand whereby up-
wards of 100,000 living
fetuses are flushed down the
drains or by other methods
approved by Ottawa” each
year) Canada is now on a
genocidal course.

Schools all scross the
nation are being closed for

lack of pupils. Vancouver,
alone, has lost over 3,000
first graders.in the past year.

If these forms of “Birth
Control” are allowed to
continue the white
population of Canada will
practically cease to exist
within 150 years.

Incidentally Canada is the
only nation which permits
wholesale murder by way of
abortions. “The Murder of
the Innocents” surely.

District of North Vancouver,

where Council had made
tentative plans to increase
this year’s budget by 10 to 11

per cent. But, as in
California, - where
Proposition 13 cutbacks

resulted in greatly reduced

services, we can expect the

same here. ea

There is another serious
aspect to all this. The
_ Provincial .Government has
long seen municipal
governments as a ‘thorn in
their side’. Victoria would
like nothing better than to
eliminate this unnecessary
level of government
“altogether and replace. it
