May 19, 1982 Pop. 15 Small increase for village taxes Residents of the village of Lucan will be facing a 7.8 per- cent tax increase when they receive their 1982 tax notices. At a budget meeting Thurs- day night, council tentatively set the overall residential mill rate at 46.59 mills. This is up by 3.39 mills from 43.2 mills in 1981. The rate is expected to be finalized at the next regular' council meeting set for June 3. Reeve Ivan Hearn said he was quite happy with the pro- posed rates and a fairly small increase. Hearn continued, "The on- ly levy we have any control over is for our own expen- ditures in Lucan and we have, been able to keep this in- crease down to about only a half mill) or 3.7$ercent. The overall increase of 3.39 mills is made up of .56 fo- village of Lucan purposes, . for the county of Middlesex 1.04 for elementary schoo purposes and 1.49 for secon 3 dary schools. Clerk Ed Melanson said the overall 7.8 percent tax in crease would amount to 147.46 on an average home assessed at 114,000. Total taxes on this type of property will be $652.26 for 1982. On the same average home, the increase of 147.46 is broken down to 17.84 for village of Lucan expen- ditures, *4.20 to the country of Middlesex, $14.56 for elemen- tary schools and $20.86 for secondary schools. Back to individual percen- tages, the village of Lucan is up1.7 percent, the county of Middlesex 7.12 percent, elementary schools eight per - 1 cent and secondary 13.5 percent. For commercial property owners, the overall increase is four mills from 50.82 mills 'to 54.82 mills this year, a similar increase of 7.8 percent.

Williams, speak- ing from Genesis 41:1-16, showed how the life of Joseph gave an example to work out our own salvation.

Joseph was serving God in a home in Egypt, but thrown in jail on a false charge. In jail he con- tinued serving God as a good servant. He never complained. Sunday evening Rev. C.J. Williams continued. Joseph's story of obedience to God from Genesis 41:34-41. Train- ing up your child in the way he should ,go will give that child spiritual wisdom to „guide hips when he grow up.
