Oshawa Taxes Plan Changed In 1964, Oshawa ratepayers, will pay their taxes in four equal installments, instead of five as this year, and the first payment will be due February 1. (Others die: April 1, June 1 and Septem- ber 1). Next year no discounts will be given on prepaid tax install-| ments--nor will tax pre-pay- ment certificates be issued. These changes, which were approved in council Tuesday night will result in about a $70! saving to you, the taxpayer. This is the estimate .of City Treasurer Frank Markson who brought the proposals to coun- cil in committee last week. Here's how it works: by call- ing the first installment in Feb- tuary, the city hopes to cut down on its borrowing (and the resultant interest. charges) in the months. before the mill rate is struck. Get the money into the treas- ury and avoid borrowing the' more than $2,000,000 which the city had to. borrow this year. In- terest on the amount was about $22,000, or $160 a day. Under Section 294 of the Ontar- io Munucipal Act, a municipality may assess an interim levy of no more than 50 percent of the prevous year's. public school supporter's rate.
