Thsf Market Bless tantalu February I977 MIDHURST Staff Although Simeoe County ad ministration is frequently coni mended for holding down tax rises in comparison to regional areas the tax spending has in creased materially over the past 27 years it was shown by review of county figures The county council last year under the leadership of Orville Hughes held down its overall levy to the level of the previous year with some additional government aid But over the years the county spending has been growing although at con siderably less pace than other levels of government The new warden Allan Glassford who is reeve of Tectunseth has told of his con cern over the tax outlook and has stressed county council has prime responsibility to ratepayers He served on the finance committee which reduced the overall municipal levies last year Past figures reflect the iri flationary trends through the years which have affected property taxation Back in 1951 when the late Benson of Penetanguishene was warden the budget called for levy to raise total of 8498955 toward the years expenditures The figure included $71131 for the administration of justice now the responsibility of the provin cial government By 1961 the countys net levy amounted to 82455362 The countys share of the cost for its roads in 1951 was $15694 By 1969 it climbed to 3923106 Queens Park in 1961 as now provided subsidies of 50 per cent of the approved road costs plus 81 per eeni for bridge con strttction OlNtlIJDRS PAY The allowance for the 49 councillors to cover the 1950 per diem pay for the year totalled Stator less than onetenth of the present figure Last years total county levy amounted to 338358th with total gross expenditures amounting to 5103234 132 iovernment grants provided riiost of
