West Wawanosh holds itmill rate portion at '93 levels
WEST WAWANOSH - Council
has held the municipal portion of
the 1994 mill rate at last year's
level, on both farm/residential and
business/commercial. The county
portion also remained the same as
1993. '
Residents within the municipality
will face a higher mill rate,
however, due to increases on the
education .,scene. Public school
elementary and secondary portions
increased .62 per cent and 12.72 per
cent respectively. Separate school
levies increased 4.99 per cent on
both elementary and secondary.
As a result, the total mill rate for
a farm/residential public school

a -round loop. Workoees are being
held every Wednesday night until'
completion. The next is to start in
Waterworks Park with the stone
dust pathway.
The Lions Ladies will provide
monetary support to the Lions for
the pathways. Deanna Reavie says
they have committed $5,000.
Frank Alton, speaking for the
Horticultural Society, explained
their plans for a picnic shelter at
Waterworks Park. Tile shelter will
measure 16' x 24' acid will house
six 6' x 5' . picnic tables. Plans are
to start this week with grading,
leveling and gravelling the area.
The erection of the shelter has been
contracted out. The open -sided
building will have hydro and a
barbecue will be located in close
proximity. It is hoped that the shel-
ter will be completed in June.
The local Legion is planning to
build a bridge at Waterworks Park,
across Dickie's Creek. Delores
Sokoloski said the a replica of a
Dutch bridge will be constructed,
and will be done in conjunction
with the Legion's commemoration
of the 50th anniversary of D -Day.
The Kinsmen's involvement., as
part of the scenic walk through the
village, is to construct a boardwalk
located on the Elgin Street road
allowance leadingto the Kinsmen
Park. Tom Andrew said the 600'
boardwalk would probably take two
years.
Village representative Lynn Peck
said donations have been received
from smaller organizations and
families. These will be used to
purchase park benches or picnic
benches.
Chris Hart said MVCA will focus
spring plantings on several proper-
ties between the Luckriow Public
School and Waterworks Park, along
Anderson's Creek. Private lan-
downers will be encouraged to
consider similar plantings on their
properties. The natural habitat along
the three streams flowing through
the village.has been gradually and
unknowingly damaged through the
removal of vegetation from along
the valley lands. This natural
vegetation must be replanted to
insure the health of the watercour-
ses: Common species that are found
locally will be used.
Landowners wishing to become
involved are invited to call MVCA
335-3557 and ask for Chris Hart of
Phil Beard.

The additional levy for Auburn
residents is 1.474 mills (residential).
Street light apportionments in
both Dungannon and Auburn have
decreased considerably; due to the
fact that a,private contractor will
now do maintenance work rather
than Ontario Hydro. No charge for
maintenance is included in the levy
for 1994 because that charge is
unknown at this time. The rate in
1995 will reflect the maintenance
charge of 1994 and will be higher
in proportion to the amount of
maintenance required.
Tom Pridharn of R.J. Burnside
and Associates was appointed by
council to undertake the survey and
plan of the proposed drainage
works for Dungannon.
