The Chamber is now making arrangements banquet A Better Split Nine Ways | Education will take the largest bite out of each and every tax dollar collected in Oshawa during 1966. A breakdown of the tax dollar (shown above) , after estimated grants have been deducted, reveals that 38 cents of each dollar will be spent on education. In 1965 education took a.42 cent bite out of each dollar. Other bites, with last year's figures in brackets are: Fire and police protection, 18 (17); Debt charges, 9 (10); General (5);. Public Health and government, 9 works, 7 (10); sanitation, 6 (5); Community services, 6 (5); Reserves, 4 (3); and Welfare, 3 (3). Frank Markson, city treas- urer, says the education bite this year is less than last year because city council is channeling more funds this year into general municipal services. The treasurer also said the public works bite is less than it was last year because more work will be financed this year through the capital (de- | benture) budget. The estimated 1966 budget approved by council is $16,173,000 -- up about $2 million over 1965. The total tax levy this year is $13,560,- | 000 -- up slightly more than $2 million. The residential mill rate increased 5.42 mills this year to 46.52. The industrial-com- mercial mill rate rose 5,35 mills to 50.35 mills. The tax rate increase add- ed about $43 to the average residential tax bill. reat ater One sepengengas sec at Lifetime Of Adventure Before Settling Here Fifty-six years ago, Victor;tion, he went to Peterborough i: 'ir.

FIXED HOTEL | One of his first' jobs in Osh- awa was fixing a hotel at King and Church streets which now does not exist. Today, the company does a stellar business. "We shipped more than 2,000,- 000 feet of hardwood to one customer last year," he said. | Although reluctant to tell, Mr. | Peacock almost missed the op-| portunity of getting involved in| the world of business. In his early barn-raising days, he took a 45-foot fall and landed on a stone. He spent a year in hos- pital with massive internal in- juries and several broken ribs. He was an ardent duck hunter and practised the sport in the area which is now Darlington Provincial Park. He also spent a considerable amount of his spare time hunting deer in the! Haliburton district with the "Miss-Em" Hunt Club. He was one of the 10 original. members| of the club that was founded) in 1920 and still exists today. He was also one of the founders of | the Oshawa Skeet Shooting Club that was organized in 1940. LIFE MEMBERSHIPS Mr. Peacock was also inter- ested in curling, fishing, boat- ing and bowling.
