FEBRUARY 20 IlIiIisrii horas Reeve Gives 0n Property synofis gt In comersatlon with Reeve Joe Cochran during his visit to Madeira Boadi Florida re cenily we asked him about the 500 levy on properties sold in the township He stated that ow ing to the foct that urban pro pertles did not pay their costs in taxes if was necessary for the municipality to get more funds We pointed out that such districts as Painawick Stroud and other areas that might be termed villages if they were incorporated paid huge tones and we could not under stand hmv he Figured they did not cover their costs of oper ation He said that none of these are as contributed sufficient to pay for all services needed to keep them operating and that two levy would help to cover their costs He felt that to per cent of these funds could be used annually to help pny for some of the added costs such or the badly needed additional space for office help and fac lliiits for services to the town ship This comment was made be fore the rulingof the Ontario Municipal Board that the funds collected as service charges must he mipended where they are derived COMPARISON WITH CITY in the city of Barrie taxes on properties in most noses do exceed those of similar homes nulnlfsiil but they receive all services such as sewers gar bage collection running water fire and police protection snow clearing paved streets street lighting and many other items which If Iheyare available in the township are an additional Cost to the taxpayer Most of the urban areas in the township pay additional for street lights community halls garbage eol lection the cost of wells and septic tanks MOVED TO CITY We know family who sold their Sfroud home and bought in Barrie because of the diffi culty in getting to the store and post office dailyespecially in winter when walking was only possible on theroadway They found that the taxes in barrio were about equal fothe Stroud rates and no extras were addv ed Sidewalks are located on some streets in Strnud but they are not kept open in winter Stroud has no say in what lion ofytases are expended in their area as they are not inv corporaled and like most other urbanareas are just part of the township Painswick with its hundreds of new homes hm roads opened by planners of subdivisions at no cost to the township Where they have street lights and garbage collec tion they pay their share of costs Most ofithem contribute topsrk facilities It would seem hard to under stand how they do not pay their way Reeve Cochrane stated that when he was on the farm he paid about 31600 in taxes now in Stroud what he pays does not Views Low cover the costs of his home Perhaps this mcans that his us sessment is not sufficient The reassessment which is to be made at reL sale values may be the
