caplts debt and the per capltl tax of the city at WI oomplh meat His Wo on his in formation it may have been that there had been sudden increase in the birth rate xiv ing the statisticians good aver age to work on Per Capita means every man woman and child including new born babes and all are coiustcd to assume their proportion of the debt oi the city and that average is what counts pcrccnlt tage wise According to the Blue Book the total debt of Barrio at the and of 1959 amounted to $829968000 so this with any additions for 1960 is divided by the total of the population which ll computed regularly and ayman hi sent to the outskirts to change the figures on those high ways signs that tell of the growth of the city gt Innislils debt is $64134700 This includes debentures for schools as well as the share of those which we have assumed for the secondary schools Now it seems foolish to divide this by the total number of ratepay ers shown on our list as perma nent residents However this debt is shared by aboutlt1500 taxpayeraali of whomcontrilr ute to the total tax burden at their township So instead or making poor baby sorry he landed in our municipality to tird himself with debt hanging around his neck big enough to keep him from ever becoming in love with the place we will divide the total debt between all taxpayers and find that we have debt at $0523 per ratepayer The Blue Book published by the Department of Municipal Af fairs gives considerably more detail They put out total popu lation at 6006 end this would make our debt close to $10000 per man woman and child Du then we have those parttime ratepayers who so willingly come and contribute to our taxes especially our school debt which is aii the debentures cover an cept small amount on com munity halls Major lginzle stated that for the total indebtedness and the taxes collected his city gave more services for the dollar they spent than others in their group Vecen agree with that Many of us in Innlsiil are paying more taxes for silnilnr home in the township than our friend in the city with sewers sidewalks wa ter supplied street ligbts gan bage collections without pay ment of additional tax better police and fire protection and lower cost forypublic utilities Then of course all of the popu lation of the township does not live on streets and they could not be supplied with all the ser vices that are provided in the city and many do not pay more than half of the taxes that are levied in the city Our mill rate of about 50 mills is about 21 mills lower than that of our neighbour in the city EGG
