HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1979-04-16, Page 20Huron County public school, supporters
are facing an 8.4 per cent increase in taxes
under the 1979 budget adopted by the
county board of education,
At Thursday's meeting of the board, a
budget was passed calling for expenditures
of $23.6 million - an increase of over 13 per
cent from the 1978 budget.
Trustees learned at the meeting that the
strike by secondary school teachers during
the 1978 school year helped to cushion the
impact of the tax increase on county
taxpayers this year. The money saved from
teacher salaries will be applied against the
funds required from municipalities.
The average homeowner in Huron County
living in a house assessed at $3,000 will face

Prepare now
for new fruits,
vegetables
Food specialists at the
Ontario Ministry of Agri-
culture and Food say it's a
good idea to prepare now for
the new season of fresh
Ontario fruits and vege-
tables. Clean the freezer, use
up last year's frozen produce
and check supplies of pack-
aging materials for the
coming season.
