Striking its budget, the council set the residential mill rate at 81,0, an increase of 8.2 mills over last year. The com- mercial rate rose from 79.7 to 88.7; an increase of 9.0 mills. Unable to control the overall increase, although the town's general rate was reduced, the council was loud in its objec- tions to the inflated tax struc- ture, It was pointedly suggested that something would have to be done and quickly in order to keep the future tax structure within reason. ALARM VOICED "I am quite alarmed at this increase in educational costs," Councillor George Bevan stated. The councillor said something should be done about the auc- tioning of teachers throughout the province which he charged, was responsible for a steady in- crease in educational costs. "We need regional areas for schools the same as proposed for planning and reduce the 2,000 school boards in Ontario to 10 boards," Councillor Bevan stated. The councillor also ques- tioned the need of both high school and public school boards, two sets of superintendents in- > Firemen 1; Ottenbrites 2,/nectors and administrative County Bow! 1. staffs, Games, 250 and over -- Bill) (Councillor Tom Edwards Moorhouse 291, 252, Rod Reeson 279, Doug Rowden 258, 305, Merle Reeson 269, 276, Bob Den- yer 267, Geo, Sweet 254, 269, Bill Jordan 26}, 291, 305, Jim Brueckle 260, Jim Slessor 270, Ward Bick 261, Dick Adams 256, 252, Des Denyer 253, Don stated the high school is higher this year yet there is no con- struction program included in the budget expenditure.

"The ratepayers direct their attention at the council and school boards and so long as they do this, the provincial government isn't likely to change anything. "I am saddened by the fact the council has done everything to hold the line while the tax rate has increased in spite of all our efforts," the councillor said. Councillor Edwards suggested he was further saddened by the fact the taxpayers will be faced with a load they cannot bear, ih a lot of cases, "Many of our ratepayers are already carry- ing an almost unbearable load. Now they will have just that much more to bear." APOLOGIES TENDERED Councillor Bobbie Attersley, chairman of the finance commit- tee, summed up the feeling of the entire council. "Tt humbly apologize to pen- sioners and residents of the town who do not have increas- ing incomes," he said. "I also apologize to the ratepayers who work at jobs that pay less than the incomes earned by employ- ees in the large industries with- in the area, This tax increase will be a serious burden for them to carry," he added. The councillor stated he was in an unusual situation. He said he must approve one half the budget which he agreed with, teacher's salaries. "This annual increase should not continue to be a burden on the property owners," he said, Commenting on the Public School budget, which was re- duced by $9,800, Councillor Ver- non MacCarl suggested some- thing must be wrong when the Board could not reduce its bud- get still further, "They must have looked at their budget in the dark," he said. Councillor Bevan said he had not commented on the Public School budget becaue the coun- cil did not have an opportunity to meet the board. He suggest- ed, however, a duplication of effort appears to have been car- ried on at this board also. "We should make a thorough exam- ination of the board and its bud- get expenditures," the councillor stated. Mayor Warren Mowat said the board. did not: cut the costs as much as the council would have preferred but pointed out, there was nothing the council could do about it. "We have to raise the money for the school boards and have no control over them,' the mayor advised. He felt a cen- tral organization to "control" the boards would be an advan- e, GENERAL RATE CUT. "This council has cut the gen- eral mill rate and in turn cur- tailed services badly needed by our citizens," Mayor Mowat said. 'It doesn't seem fair but there is nothing we can do about it," Reeve Everett Quantrill point- ed out the board had met with the council and attempted to cut back the costs. He termed this a sign of a growing co-opera- tion.. "We must now work harder to in industrial asessment to ease the tax burden," the reeve said. He supported the budget with the further com- ment the council should not at- tempt to cut the general rate any further.
