rebate Provincial sales tax immediately on due application.

application in January 1982. Handi-transit Inc. if requested
would operate the system in Newcastle in conjunction with the
Whitby and Oshawa systems. Estimated percentage of costs
17% or $5,100.
If requested Handi-transit Inc. would assume ownership of
van as far as licensing is concerned under a form of agreement.
Cost to Town this year would be approx. $5,000.
