HomeMy WebLinkAboutWingham Advance-Times, 1980-12-10, Page 10Wawanosh 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.
