THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1946 PACE FOUR LATEST NEW S OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Whitby Editor, W. J. Duthie, Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson Phone 703, All Departments Expect No Rise Town Tax Rate 1947--Treasurer ; "At the present time I can see no reasons for an 'increase in the tax rate next year," Town Clerk and Treasurer John R. Frost told the members of the Town Council at the statutory meeting last night, after the town's financial statement for the year had been examined and approved. One reason for his statement was that the town's total assessment would be up probably a quarter of a million dollars for the coming year. And others just as important were that several capital expenditures had been made this year which would not have to be repeated next year. Some of these include the new fire truck, not yet arrived but budgeted for, the new police cruiser and over $13,000 for sewer, road and side- walk work. ~ In addition the $5435.55 which was spent this year for the July 1 Civic Reception for Veterans will not come again. ; Budget Balanced He also gave the good news that while there would be no large surp- jus this year he thought that peither would there be any deficit. ! The presentation of the financial tatement is a preliminary to the Siti meeting which this ear will be held on Friday, No- wember 29, or two weeks from yes- Rerday, and copies of the statement will be available at the meeting for B11 interested. With the election be- ing held two weeks earlier than in other years the present state- ent covers the year only until RE 15, and Mr. Frost expects that the current surplus of some $10,000 will be wiped out by the ead jof the year. { One of the highlights of the re- as presented was that tax ars, not counting 1946, are at fn all time low of $1483.57, with ore of these arrears expected be- ore the end of the year. Also the wn will receive a rebate of over $3000 from the County, the county pate being lower than estimated. Much New Equipment The town's capital assets amount $248.442.81, including among the fnew items, the police car and the ew water-tower,- paid for but not Bet erected. as + Amosig the liabilities the treas- turer has estimated that $9,710 will fhave to be paid out before the end fof the year, plus the cost of the new fire truck, and that over $4500 still remains to the sidewalk ac- fount. It was explained that this t remained because the town as unable to obtain cement to on the program of repairing e town's sidewalks, as planned at first of the year, ' Speaking about the debenture ebt, Mr. Frost explained that the ent issue of a $60,000 debenture or waterworks had raised the wn"s debt above last year's, but he inted out that two loans would retired at year end, two more n 1947, two in 1948, and that by 950 an annual principal and inter- = payment of over $9,000 would : off the budget. This year's pay- ment amounted to $19,278.08, Dog Taxes $579, The town's total revenue for the year so far amounted to $182,758.61, plus a surplus from last year of ¥$11,300, Of this $103,487.99 was col- {lected in taxes, and $59,000 was a 'payment in and out for the water- tworks debentures, Dog taxes for the {year amounted to $579, while fines «levied for traffic offences were 1$897.06. From the Liquor Control 'Board of Ontario came a rebate of $1,277.10, the largest ever, a gallon-- tage tax on the amount of beer con- isumed in the town. ! The expenditures balanced the re- fceipts, according to this estimate, «leaving the town with no surplus ibut with no deficit. In addition to dthe debenture payments other ex- spenditures included $8,763.36 for jbolice department salaries and ex- spenses, including the new cruiser, selection costs so far of $317.96, and tthe cost of garbage collection, that Mr. Frost gave $2032.82. For {fire protection the town paid $2410.54 plus the cost of the new fire truck and fire hydrant rental of some $2300. Street lighting to date cost $4,474.97. School Levies The Public School levy raised $13,201.28, included in the budget at $13,200, the Separate School levy raised $1,575.59, and the High School levy $1,027.86. The statement was approved by the Council and Reeve Joseph Shields: moved a vote of apprecia- tion to the Town Treasurer for his excellent report. Pick Officers Legion Team A new Intermediate "B" hockey team wearing the colors of the Whitby Branch of the Canadian Legion will be on the ice this winter to swell the number of teams rep- resenting the town. While it is a little hard to pre- dict anything before the players have even donned skates for their first practice session this year's edi- tion should be no worse than the good intermediate teams of a few years ago, and could easily go a long way. The executives were chosen at a meeting this week and the members are already hard at work lining up equipment so that when the ice comes no time will be wasted. Doug Maundrell, who last year coached the Midgets and in the past played hockey for Oshawa Juniors and Seniors and over in England, will coach the Izitermediate team this year, No Grouping Yet The team's entry has already been sent in but they won't know until Decembér 7, at the OHA. meeting, what group they will be playing in.
