Herb Murphy, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, said that what the PUC charges for the security deposit is entirely its perrogative. "We have encountered in these certain apartments traditionally uncollectable bills. We are now charging a security deposit of $100, which is equal to the average two month billing," said Murphy. • Homeowners are not charged a deposit because an unpaid utilities bill is simply added • to the taxes due on the property. Murphy said that renters are charged a deposit to ensure the payment. "We can't charge the landlord because if the tenant skips town, the landlord is also out his rent payment."

PLAQUE PRESENTED The plaque and the key to the 'city of Auburn, Michigan were officially presented to the mayor of Auburn; Ontario at the monthly meeting held in the Auburn Town Hall last Saturday evening. Mayor Warner Andrews was in the Canadian West ower taxes Residents of Goderich may be paying less property tax if the Provincial government proceeds with updating assessment equalization factors. The new assessment factors are based on. 1978 market value and are based on current market value assessment. The factors currently being used were frozen in 1970. The government hopes to introduce the changes in 1980 and clerk, Larry McCabe in- dicated their were great ramifications for the town. If the new factors had been used for 1979 the town of Goderich would have paid $207,460 less in the elementary school requisition; $186,601 less for the secondary school requisition and $87,934 less for the county requisition. The total saving would have amounted to $481,495. Using the new factors ten other Huron County municipalities would,,have recognized savings while the remaining 15 municipalities would have paid increased requisitions. If the new system is adopted many townships will face increased requisitions which tran- slates into higher property taxes for rural residents. Minister of Revenue, Lorne Maeck, has recommended to the Ministry of Treasury and Economics and also to the Ministry of Education to use the factors for 1980. In a letter to council, Maeck,said the new equilization procedure, based on current market value property assessment, com- pensates for differences in assessment levels that have existed among municipalities. Even if the factors are introduced and cause a redistribution of grants, no municipality or. school board will receive less requisition because of it. McCabe suggested council support the Minister since the factors would help alleviate assessment inequities in Goderich and also mean considerable savings for the town. If the factors are introduced most towns and villages will realize savings in requisitions while township requisitions would rise slightly. FOR ALL YOUR ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES 8! VICTORIA 9t1'.
