Taylor low | (From page 1) have indicated they feel the office of the Mayor of this ! Township should be paid more than the current $6300 '@ per year. i The detailed report pre- { pared for the Durham council management committee and released last week, also shows that Scugog's Regional councillor @ Reg Rose and the regional councillor from Uxbridge Township are the lowest paid in Durham. | They are paid $12,980 by | Durham Region and $5500 by : their respective Townships for a combined total of ® $18,480. Brock Township's regional rep is paid $6000 by the area municipality along with the $12,980 paid by the Region. It should be noted that one-third of the salaries paid on wage scale to politicians are tax-free. The salaries cited in the report are for 1979 and do not take into account any in- crease that may have been granted for 1980. Figures in the report show that the 30 members of Durham council are the ~ highest paid of any council- lors in a regional munici- pality in Ontario. The $12,980 paid to Durham councillors is nearly $5000 above the average salary of $8305 paid in the other 10 Regions across the province, and contrasts sharply with the $5800 the Sudbury Region pays its councillors. Peel Region councillors are the next highest paid in the province, drawing an annual wage of $11,550, while York Region councillors' make $10,508. Young political hopeful eyes future Look out, Mr. Gallup. Scugog Township has its own political pollster, and the 12-year old Caesarea youth proved to be pretty close to the mark when the results of the February 18 federal election were tallied up. Back in January, Gordie Gettins Jr. sent the Port Perry Star a detailed list of how he predicted the federal parties would do in the elec- tion. The Star kept Gordie's predictions on file, and now that the election is over, here's how he called it: Liberals 149 seats, Conser- vatives 103 seats, NDP 32 seats and Social Credit 3 Queen Street gets Regional go-ahead Durham Region council has voted formal approval for a construction project to replace the watermain along Queen Street from Lilla to Water Streets. The estimated cost of the replacement is $200,000, and will be paid through deben- tures by Durham Region. mated cost of this project in 1983 is $95,000. seats. And this is how the parties actually fared at the polls on February 18 (subject to change in a couple of ridings because of recounts) Libe- rals 146, Conservatives 103, NDP 32 and Social Credit Zero. One interesting note to Gordie's prediction is the fact that he said the PC's would win just one seat in Quebec, which is the way it turned out. But he did give the Libe- rals more support in Western Canada than they actually received, saying that five seats in Saskatchewan and five in B.C. would go Grit. In' actual fact, the Liberals were completely wiped out west of the Manitoba border. .- Gordie is a grade seven student at Cartwright Central School in Black- stock, and he has a very active interest in politics. He started working on his prediction a week or so after the election was called, and says his predictions were based on information he read in the papers or heard on television. As might be expected from a 12-year old who already has a keen interest in poli- tics, Gordie says he would like to make a run for office himself some day. e The project will replace | the existing six-inch main a: L 00 D S ALE 7 with a 12-inch line.
