Uig *^SfnAill nl P -JUlUUI The County Finances County Treasurer Parker submitted Council last week. It appears from hu figures that the County is behind in its finances some $28,OOO. The following ia culled from the Sun- Times report:- * Mr. Parker pointed out that a 9% mill rate was levied last June, after he had advised a. 10 mill rate, after this rote had been passed by the fin- ance committee. On account of this reduced rate, Mr Parker pointed out that there is at present a shortage of $112,OOO which must be made before July 1st this year and for which the County Council must provide, on ac- count of provincial highways. Mr. Parker pointed out that Old Age Pensions were largely responsible for the present condition, there having been no allowance made for these pensions in the estimates for the first year pensions paid. Mr. Parker also stated that he believed that expenses for educational purposes, Old Age Pensions and Mother's Allowances would increase during the coming year. However, some estimates made had proved to be too high, stated Mr. Parker, closing his statement of the county's financial condition with a ray of sunshine. He assured the council that he was ready to meet the finance committee or county roads committee at any time to discuss de- tails of the county's financial situa- tion. In connection with the road expen- ditures during the past year it might be said that the sum of $661,000 was spent by the Department of Public Highways on -Provincial Highways alone in the County of Grey in 1930, and of this amount the sum of $425,- OOO was spent between Owen Sound and Thornbury, the greater amount of course being spent between Owen Sound and Meaford. The amount to be provided for by the County of Grey is $112,000, which is 20'/o of the total expenditure. x No provision has been made for this amount, and [this is one of the problems the County Council will have to solve during the year. Whether they will decide to increase the tax rate to make up the amount, or issue deben- tures and pay it over a term of years will have to be considered. The chief reason why no provision was made for the amount was that it was not known what the figures would be. The Department of Pub- lic Highways presented an estimate for the work of $82,000, but at that time the new overhead bridge over the C.P.R. tracks had not been decid- ed upon, and there were other unfor- seen expenditures which increased vance agent, and that Ernie the amount.
