school supporter owning similar property will pay $512 in 1977 com pared to $463 last year Coun Tipplc said the difference between the tax rates is due to the difference in the public and separate

The biggcst increase in the 1977 budget is the levy for township puposcs up 298 per cent Coun Tipplc said the increase is needed to make up last years budget deficit of $197000 More than $125000 of the deficit is due to the townships legal battles against Barrics pm posal to annex 13500 acres of land from In nisfilhcsaid Added to this expenditure is the fact that an additional $750X has been allowed for in this years budget for annexation he said As well as the legal accounting planning and engineering costs of the annexation fight Coun Iipple said there are other indirect costs such as time for the clerk and council members to attend the Ontario Municipal Board OMB anncxation hearings and staff time preparing materials for the lawyers and plannershandling the townsh ips case In short said Coun Tipplc this budget contains $200000 in llltCl annexation costs plus substantial indirect costs as result of the annexation problem However about $72000 of the township deficit can be traced to other unexpected ex penscs such as the costs of audits requred when the township hired new treasurer In nisfil township had threc treasurers in 1976 The total 1977 tax asscssmcnt base in In nisfil Township is 622220610 up four per cent from last year Coun li pple said the reason for such low increase in the assessment base is that the townships official plan which must be ap proved by the OMB before further develop ment can proceed has been shelved by the board pending the outcome of the Barrie arr nexatiorr case This year property taxes on township residents will account for $4110296 of the estimated expenditures of $5493526 The re mainder will be made up through provincial govermnent grants taxes on Bell Canada land and installations and licensing fees Coun Tipplc said
