HAPPY NEW YEAR! The deadline for the next OSCAR will be OSCAR January 17. South Community Association Review JANUARY 1986 What kind of wind may blow from the west? by RUSSELL BARTON, Vice-president, OSCA

The Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton is in the process of deciding how to dispose of the 354,000 tons of garbage that is produced annually by residents, in- dustries, institutions, and businesses. Garbage disposal costs the taxpayer about $10 million each year. Both the cost and the quantity of garbage produced in the re- gion are expected to rise considerably over the next 25 years. The Regional government is in the midst of a project called Wasteplan through which they will make some important decisions about Regional waste management policies. These decisions will affect all residents. Currently, seven sites are Stage two, which is al- At the moment, 37 sites garbage disposal a ’’burning handle the region’s garbage ready well under way, ap- have been selected from all site.” Garbage would be disposal requirements.

There are several problems when consi- dering this possibility. The further away the disposal site the more money it will cost for transportation - additional fuel costs and FIRST, longer delivery time tying up more trucks to move the same amount of garbage. And HE KILLEDTHE BOTTLE... what about the people who live in the country? The other important ques- tion concerns the quality of the emissions. I am sure that the technical consul- tants will do everything that they can to ensure that the fumes given off will be adequately scrubbed, but how efficient can they really be? I would make a rough guess that the Regional Government has so far spent close to a million dollars on Wasteplan and now I wonder if the new Provincial, Regional, and City administrations are still committed to the idea of a rational wasteplan and the public consultation pro- cesses that have already been conducted? Lots of important ques- tions need to be considered by Ottawa South residents. If any of you would like to be involved in helping the community look after its interests in this respect, please contact OSCA through the Firehall at 563-3306 and leave your name with the coordinators to be put onto the Wasteplan monitoring group.

$20,000 to $50,000. In addition, there is little time for taxpayers to seek professional advice on these steps since legislation which has not been introduced or passed into law can only be afcted upon at one's peril. All of this aside, the minimum tax should catch some of those people who have high assessed incomes and pay little personal income tax. How serious this problem may be is a matter of opinion. Government statistics show that fewer than 2% of those earning more than $50,000 succeed in by JOHN P. MANLEY paying no tax. Of these, even fewer can succeed in paying On 4 December 1985, the Honourable Michael Wilson, little or no tax in more than one year.

In addition, the capital gains exemption itself has resulted in much of the complexity of the new legislation, since extensive measures were to be introduced to prevent unintended tax avoidance through the conversion of other types of income into capital gains. All of this is grist for the mill for tax professionals but leads to a lot of frustration on the part of the business community and taxpayers generally. For example, taxpayers are faced with the conundrum of whether to attempt to realize capital gains in 1985 so as to avoid the minimum tax on the previously untaxed portion of capital gains (50%), or to delay realizing them until 1986 when the capital gains exemption is increased from PE'fMN WOK RESTAURANT FULLY LICENSED DAILY LUNCHEON SPECIALS Have you checked your insurance lately? complete Smart drivers and homeowners take good care of $4.95 11 am to 2:30 pm their houses and cars.
