Ratepayers in East
WaWanosh Townihip will
have to pay their taxes only
Once a year after all.
The switch back to a single
tax date was the Orst
business undertaken by the
new township council at its
inaugural meeting Dec. 2,
reversing a decanon made
by the former council at its
final meeting in November.
At that time council had
set June 15 and Nov. 15 as the
due dates for township taxes,
however the new council
decided to drop the June date
and leave Nov. 15 as the
payment date.
Clerk -Treasurer Winona
Thompson said councillors
expressed concern that it
would be difficult for far-
mers to meet a tax bill in the
early summer. It was
predicted that unless a
severe penalty were im-
posed, few would pay their
taxes until the fall.
The previous council had
hoped that the semi-annual
collection would improve the
township -cash flow and
enable it to save on interest
charges at the bank.
The new council also
agreed to turn over the job of
preparing the tax bills to
Business Computer Services
at a cost of $225.
In other business at the
inaugural meeting, council
made its appointments to
various boards and set
wages for the coming year.
The clerk -treasurer will
receive a salary of $15,000 in
1981, plus a car allowance of
$1,000 and benefits. This is an
increase from $12,000 plus
the car allowance this year.
Grader operators will be
paid $7.30 per hour, up from
$6.50 in 1980; full-time em-
ployees will also receive
health care benefits. The
