Rate remains at 14 County council set the mill rate at 14 this year, the same as in 1961, despite an increase in the road budget. An extra mill for roads, ap- proved at the January session, was absorbed by a decrease in the general rate, The levy is made up of six mills for gen- eral, eight for roads; last year it was seven and seven. riving between $300.00-5400.00, a month interest". However, Berry warned that council might, be faced with, an increase in taxation in 1963 if the road program continues at the same pace. "We have ta- ken a mill off the general funds this year", he said, "but we could only do this due In the fact we had such a large surplus". He reported that this might not he possible next year un- less another large surplus is left. from this year's operation. The 1962 road budget for the county calls for an expenditure. of $1,495,000.00 of which $602,- 000.00 would come from pro- vincial subsidy.

A bid to have extra building erected was defeated al the last sitting, He reported the caretaker at the building had been asked to vacate his apartment and the children's aid would, move its. office quarters into the area now occupied by the caretaker. The caretaker in turn would be reimbursed an additional $700.00 per year. A. committee room is plan- ned for the office now occu- pied by the children's aid and an office would be added for the use of the warden, imme- diately adjacent to the ,clerk- and provide other information over which there is some con- fusion, The board discussed holding public meetings on the question but decided not to sponsor any in view of the previous ses- sions held in the school sec- tions. If, however, the ratepayers indicate they would like to see one or more meetings before the vote to discuss the issue, chairman Harry Dougall in cheated the board would re- consider. Board members agreed they would try La make personal visits to ratepayers in the township to explain the pro- posal and answer any ques-tions. Scrutineers were appointed for the vote which will be held April 16. Announce referendum Official notice of the vote ap- pears in this week's issue of The T-A.
