Huron County Rate
Up Half a Mill
The Hiron County tax rate for
1959 was formally established at
13,9 mills, by by-law passed Wed-
nesday, June 10, by Huron County
Council, The rate is half a mill
greater than in 1958.
Earlier in the year, councillors
had tentatively planned a tax rate
of 13.4 mills, unchanged from last
year.. Unusual costs for snowplow-
ing during the first three months
of the year, however, upset the
road budget, and made it necessary
either to increase the tax rate, or
decrease the summer construction
work on the county road system,
The tax rate provides seven mills
for county roads, and 6,9 mills for
all other county purposes.
