Reeve Forst' to the meeting that he fearc'th'nt realized the work involved in municipal administration today. As an ex- ample; he said, the township rev enue totalled $331,000. Taxes to- talling $132,000 'were levied on A taxable assessment of $2,646,000. Referring to the, difficulty being experienced in connection with tax arrears, he said that at December 21 some_ $22,000 of the current year was in arrears, which represented bout 16 per cent of the total levy. In addition to this, arrears ac- cumulated in prior years amount- ed to approximately $15,000, One of the problems hi the col- lection of arrears is that some ratepayers seem to regard the municipality as a money -lending organization, and purposely permit their taxes --to go into arrears. A new source of revenue for the township this year resulted from the assessment of Union Gas for lines across the municipality, which produced $2,600, .in taxes. - Review Road Work The 'general rate for township schools was discontinued, and in future each trustee board will now include in the trustee levy the amount required to replace.... what the general rates., formerly pro- duced. It has' had the effect of reducing, somewhat, the rate for School purposes. In the case of smaller schools, ,the change could result in a Slightly higher rate, Reeve Forsyth said.
