Alex Shestowsky said council today is facing expendi- tures previous councils post- poned. The works committee budget, he said, contains only essentials "and we would have liked to put in more," referring to a long list of petitions for pavement, curb and gutter not included in the budget. RATHER SICK' Ald. Alice Reardon she she "felt rather sick" about the in- creases during budget discus- sions, partly for selfish reasons since she and her husband are now on a fixed income. But, she added that council has a re- sponsibility to the taxpayers and has to provide services. Ald. Norman' Down, who op- posed the increases, said the ability to pay can come to a Standstill at some time. He also said he has been concern- ed for many years about the city's rising debt, noting that council is spending money for a future generation which may like to spend it themselves. GRANTS INADEQUATE' Ald. Clifford Pilkey said the low rate increases during the past three years have been building up to the 1966 increase. He said the existing grant sys- tem is inadequate and that sen- ior levels of government give money to the city with one hand and take it away with the other through sales tax increases (provincial) and the tax on building materials (federal). Council agreed to transfer $300,000 from works department estimates to the capital budget and finance that amount of services through borrowing. Ald. Christine Thomas, who opposed the increases, said council should borrow more money to pay for services rath- er than raise it each year in taxes, She said it is a "grand idea" to pay for services out of current revenue but said coun- cil should not ask people to pay 100 percent for something out of current revenue they will probably never see, 'GREATER HARDSHIP' Ald.. Attersley said it is a greater hardship on taxpayers to pay off the debenture debt (principal plus interest) than it is through current revenue. Mayor Lyman Gifford said it is prudent to include a pay-as- you-go policy which will not leave a legacy for future tax- payers. He said this also pro- tects the city's credit rating on the money market. | | } Civic Square | | at in 1985.

Margaret Shaw and Ald. Christine Thomas both said they opposed the proposal because it included underground parking. Ald. Shaw noted that the $2,800 per space cost does not include {the cost of land. The $1.7 million proposal does not include the cost of buying the church property. and Mr. Pentland said building costs will probably increase 5 to 10 per- cent if the project is postponed one year. Mayor Gifford said there is a possibility the project could be started late this year, providing the church property has been acquired, . } | |
