At the present $110, the Township was not covering the administrative costs of the permits. While all members finally agreed on the new $400 flat rate for homes and apartment units, there was a suggestion that Scugog might con- sider a sliding scale rate so that . smaller, inexpensive homes are not charged the same for a permit as a HOSPITAL REPORT Week Ending December 25, 1986.

Was I of help to someone who needed me? Was I a good friend? Could I have done more? If we can think of ways to improve ourselves, it is nice to do so before the New Year begins. That way we can plan the means to implement these improvements as we begin a new day and a new year. To all my readers, and staff of the Port Perry Star, I wish a joyous, healthy and happy New Year.
