Two Bruce Towns Near Credit Limit After Debt Surge . • Abnormal municipal spending by councils of Walkerton and Kincar- dine have resulted in heavy, long-term capital debts that may well limit the 'potential of these towns to, debenture future public works, a just-completed survey of the south .of Bruce County shows. M. M. Dillon of Toronfe_took the survey for the Bruce County south planning' board. Walkerton also showed by far the greatest increase in long-term debt over the past five years, more than tripling from 1.8 per cent of the equaliZed assessment. to 5.6 per cent. The Ontario Municipal Board usually cuts off credit 'at seven per cent. Kincardine's percentage. is now 4.5 per cent slightly down from the 4.7 per cent of five years ago. The long-term liabilities of the average Ontario town of, 5,000 is 2.7 per cent.of its equalized assess- - ment. On a.. per-capita basis', long-term debt of Walkerton has increased by 275' pet cent while the provincial average has been 25 per cent. Walkerton` is the only town in Bruce to show such an increase, the report said. Sanitation and recreation are the two services accounting for the most of Walkerton's increased indebtedness. Southampton haS experienced the greatest per-capita rise in taxation with an increase of $130. Port Elgin ,taxes rose $75; Walker- ton., $70; Kincardine; $48, and Chesley, $20. The provincial average for towns was $45. Municipal expenditures for Walkerton increased at about 24 per cent per year. Education expenditures. rose at 2.5 per cent per year while the town's county levy actually decreased at a rate of nearly 'one per cent •per year, The survey said that the, other net cost increases at Walkerton were for general government, " public ,works, sanitation and pro- tection. Five Bruce municipalities were poor tax collectors - Kincardine, Walkerton and Southampton are above the provincial average for tax lucknow Resident Died At Belgrave MRS. JACOB HUNTER Mrs. .Jacob Hunter of Lucknow passed away on Friday, .February 28 at the hoMe 'of' her daughter Mrs. Malcolm Scott of Belgrave. She was in her 81st year.

Tiverton has tax arrears nearly double the provincial average for villages while Bruce Township is the only rural 'municipality with a tax collection problem. The consultants recommended that those municipalities which have high arrears should insist on firmer collection procedures or penalties. The survey showed that Walker- ton has the most desirable assess- ment ratio in Bruce. Commercial and industrial assessment is nearly 40 per cent of the town's total. The 'provincial assessment aver= age for towns of 5,000 is 31 per cent industrial and commercial. Southampton showed the biggest imbalance with just 18 per cent industrial and commercial. It was noted that the town's high number of cottages would affect the figure.
