Contrary to some thinking, how- ever, the situation has not been brought on by excess spending by the town council or any of the boards or associations which represent the spending bodies of the communities. One factor definitely in favor of the community this year is a reduction in grants to local or- ganizations. Last year a total $6,258.30 was passed out by council; while the ebtimated grants payable. this year are only $4,509.54, a reduction of $1,318.76. . General government adminis- tration of the municipality is expected to cost an estimated $135,816.02 this year. In 1965 the cost to this category was $131,- 763.85. HALL MAINTENANCE Maintenance of the town hall is expected to cost $26,894.20 this year as opposed to $25,- 040.23 in 1965, The opposite case, | with a decrease in cost, is re- flected in the budget picture for maintenance of the town gar-! age. The 1965 actual cost was| $25,049.81 while this year the estimate is set at $21,023.87. Total maintenance of all town buildings is down also although by a small amount. The 1965) cost was $57,014.13. This year it} is $56,618.07. ne example of additional costs, although no fault is ob- vious, is the recreation and lcommunity services category of lthe budget. The actual cost in| | this Samm oe neo 1965 was $14,484.49 and onnt Cost year the "estimated risen to $31,450. Sub-contracts, material and supplies, equipment purchases and equipment charges are re- sponsible for the additional cost. These classifiactions contributed a total $11,638.30 to the addi- tional costs. PROTECTION UP Protection to persons and property in the community will cost the municipality an esti- mated total $265,143.04 this year. The, cost is an increase of $40,575.95 over 1965 which saw a total expenditure of $224,- 567.09 for this. category. One of the factors in the in- crease deals with dog control where the total cost is up $1,348.99. Personal services jumped from $4,628.71 to $5,200. Truck operation was $1,216.97 and this year it will be $1,700. Material and supplies are also up in cost with the expenditure last year set at $405.33 as °P-| posed to $700 this year. Under police protection the major increase deals with sal- aries where the budget allows for $137,727.79 this year as op- posed to $113,074.41 in 1965. SOCIAL SERVICES DOWN One category that dropped over last year's budget was so- cial services with the 1965 ac- tual cost $51,241.54 in compari- son with $47,179.70 this year. Total sanitation and waste re- moval in Whitby will cost more in 1966 but it is not reflected in increased wages to any great extent. Total cost of this cate- gory is $169,800 as opposed to/| $148,402.51 last year. Toy Animals Assist 'In Teaching Of French WHITBY--Sinclair Home and School Association met, Mar. 8, in the school auditorium. The guest speaker for the evening was Miss Marie McCready, lteacher of conversational) | French at the school. Miss McCready gave a very interesting progress report on French being taught this far, she also explained how French is being taught through the use of toy animals such as George and Tepe and large pictures. The children enjoy very much the practical application of the flannelgraph board by placing pieces of clothing and parts of the body on Charlie. They also enjoy singing to French rec- ords.

In addition, under the classification, Central Lake On- tario Conservation Authority, the 1966 estimate is $9,268.46 as compared with $2,056.75 last year. In the long haul, however, the category total is down with the total estimated expenditure set at $46,884.44 compared to $57,- 1668.75 in 1965. picture the total expenditure for 1966 is estimated at $2,744,659.62 as opposed to $2,381,958.84 last Rounding out the financial WHITBY -- The Whitby Whit- tlers TOPS Club met at Kath- leen Rowe School Tuesday eve- ning..
