Ingham Advance Times, June 18. 1980 School board vote down move to quarterly vies By Cath Wooden Once again the Huron County Board of Education has turned down the idea of a quarterly collection of education taxes from municipalities, although the vote is getting closer. Every year since the board was formed in 1969 a motion is made to collect taxesirom municipalities four times a year instead of twice. This year the vote was seven in favor and seven against; in cases of a tie, the motion is defeated. The motion, which was made at the May 1 special budget meeting, was referred to the June 2 meeting for debate. Figures were presented 'showing how much better off the board would be if the levy were collected four times a year. They indicated the board would save $48,465 a year in loan interest. However it was noted that going to the quarterly billing would require municipalities to borrow in order to pay the levy. The queatipn for the board to decide,- said Chairman Don McDonald, "is whether we'll be the nice guys and carry the load for the municipalities, or let them worry about where they're going to get the money . " Some trustees felt that many nnunicipalities could not afford topay education taxes four times a year since they do not collect from their ratepaYers that often. "We would be penalizing muni- cipalities which do not have as great a borrowing power as we do," commented Herb Turkheim. "That's their worry, not ours," argued Education Director D. J. Cochrane. "How they get the money is up to them." Mr. Henderson said that even if the board passed the motion, according to the Education Act it could not be implemented if two-thirds of the municipalities were opposed. LEMON TREE VERY PRETTY -When Mrs. Squire Oakley's family brought her back a tiny inch and a half tree from Florida about four years ago, little did the Fordwich resident think it would grow to about three feet and produce lemons as large as those sold In the grocery. For one thing, the tree was supposed to be a miniature orange tree and Mrs. Oakley says her family is still kidding her about the "oranges". The lemons though are no [oke. They're for real. This winter a blossom produced the ripe lemon seen sitting on top of a glass at the bottom of the plant and now the little tree has another full sized green lemon and two smaller lemons on the top. Mrs. Oakley reports there Is no scent to the lemon blossoms, but that the scent of the ripening fruit is "beautiful". The lemon tree has never been out of doors. It gets full light in a south window and is treated like any other houseplant by Mrs. Oakley.
