A couple of weeks ago Clayton
Schaus of The Chesley Enterprise
was 5‘blowing” that Chesley High
School District had the lowest
rate of any in this area — <8;6
mills. Last Week The Enterprise
man gave Kincardine credit for
the . lowest rate at 5.93 mills, but
wasn’t sure whether or riot that
involved a new school.
In . any event Clayt, Lucknow
District High School rate is 5.3
mills, which covers capital arid
operating costs. The debenture
levy is 2.5 mills and maintenance
2.8. This compares’withTChesley’s
8.6 rate, Port Elgin’s 11 mills,
Walkerton’s 11.3 mills and Han
