The formula providés that Scugog Township will get 30 per cent of the amount paid to the Mississagua First Nation, which has been deemed the host municipality for the casino. However, it is believed that the amount flowing to Scugog Township from the slot machines each year will be considerable, per- haps in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Mayor Doug Moffatt said Monday this revenue in the long term could result in a property tax reduction of 8 to 10 per cent for Scugog ratepay- ers.

Mayor Moffatt stressed that the five new reserve funds approved by the finance committee on Monday will not involve cash the township now gets from development fees.
