Ministry Of Health. This represents an 8.8 per cent
increaSe rn funding over last year. • All hospitals in
Ontakio, received a 7.8, per cent increase this year
based Wan inflationary adjustment. Those hospitals
with 50 or fewer active beds received an additional
one per cent increase. Alexandra Marine and
General, with exactly 50 active -beds(not including

Per cent. Administrator Elmer Taylor estimates that
the local hospital has received about
$200,1100 in ad-
ditional funding over the last four years by keeping
its number of active beds to 50 or less.
Taylor says the reason this year's surplus will not
be as great as last year's is because of salaries
required for additional staffing in the Intensive Care
Unit and physiotherapy department and also because
of the payment of outstanding sick banks for the
registered nurses at the hospital. These sick banks
represent accumulated sick time prior to the in-
troduction of a long term disability plan for the
nurses.

Separate school taxpayers hi Huron and Pertil will
payan average of $37.50 more per $5,000 assessment
to raise $1,528,900 as the local share of the 1983
budget.
The Huron -Perth Separate School Board approved
a $7,622,314 budget for 1983 at its April 25 meeting.
This is an increase of 1153 per cent over last year's
budget of $6,783,402. The local share increased from.
$1,295,800 in 1982.
Chairman of the finance committee trustee Ron
Marcy of Stratford reported that the board will be
able to hold its increase to 10 per cent because of a
$46,000 surplus last year and because one mill raises
$900 rnore this year than last year. One mill raises
$24,400 in Huron and Perth for separate school pur-
poses.
"This is due to the fact that our assessment base
has increased by close to $1 million (thisincrease in
assessment, which is becoming an annual event,
shows that the support for our system continues to
grow)," stated Mr. Marcy.
The finance committee chairman,. pointed out that
even if the board kept its expenditures equal to 1982,
the 1983 budget would reflect a 6.04 per cent increase.
This means the Ministry of Education sets a Milt rate
that determines the amount the board has to collet
from taxpayers before the amount of grant to be
received from the Ministry is determined. In 1982 this
local requirement was set at 4.455 equalized Weal
mills and in 1983 increased -to 4.724 equalized local
mills.
"In siffiple terms this means that even if the board •
kept its expenditures equal to 1982 - in other words ab-
solutely no increase in expenditure - we would be
.forced to increasetaxes by 6.04 percent," stated Mr.
Marcy.
n Starting with that increase, the Huron -Perth board
