CIIESLEY Developers and
homeowners in Bruce County can
btreathe a sigh of relief. On Tuesday
... Bruce County Board of Education.
trustees turned down educationallot
levies after`'' a report showCd•`they
won't work in a rural area:
The board. mete with-
municipalities,
ithmunicipalities, ' the education
minims and consultants before
taking the standagainst' lot levies.
Estimates are they would have
raised $9$7,000 over five years, but
trustee Gerd Thompson said that is
not enough to help finance student
growth in the county.
;* growth in the county is so
sp•aut that& the collection of
lot levies wouldn't amount: to
'enough in any one .Single area, to
make it wordrwhlie..,parsing a by
law, and going through:.lhe . c s,
and putting the municipality
through 'that process' T.hompson.
There was also concern lot levies
could hamper development locally
by increasing. red tape•and adding a
new tax for propertyowners to pay.
Thompson said the lot levyalone,
estimated by consultants at $520 a
residential unit, wouldn't make up
for a 20 perr cent, drop in 'provincial
grants' for building projects.
As aresult,',:th~ee board would still
have to>increase its mill rate, on top
of imposing the new levy.
Municipalities told us they
preferred the:; old way of raising
funds through;property taxes and
guilts." Thompson said. •
A yearago _ a report from :the
board* -s senior 'administration came
out, in favor of lot levies.
Thompson said since then more
details of the complicated lot levy..

The meeting was called 'by
Ripley resident ;Al Schaus• who
was dissatisfied with the answers
he wasn'tgetting from Ripley

wayto 'address the problem was
to call a -public meeting and see
What kind ofresults he g ot.
He said he was gratis. Lind

people who ; °attended the.
meeting. He told the- group he
' had lived in :'Ripley , for "four
years and Was a relative new
Comer to the area.
"It is not my, intention to
create any problems or to cast
�'. , any stones," he told the Meeting,
"but I feelwe. are ;owed some
answers from council".
He was refetr'ing specifically to.
the question he had asked coun-
cii'atits last meeting; why had a
councillor resigned?
'He was told by council at that
time, that: a may get an answer
in a month. •

. After a . few "complaints from
The audience about how thee
village Was run, a woman said
"we came here tonight to flair a
ratepayer's association, let's do
it. Another audience member

for the betterment of the village.
It can do other things besides

Peggy MitcDonal,d, the
daughter of Ripley's ,first reeve,
in 1925, John B. Martyr.. said
;."We have a dynamic number of
young people 'here. Why don't •
we put this power•towork." She
said • everybody complains but
nobody ever does anything. "We
aren't doing. anything. Get an
association formed ' and do
something. 'There are a lot of
new people in this -community
and we'd better get going. We
can make Riplerwhat it used to
