Public taxrates for 1957:I'u h 'School, business and industrial, na1 &7.16 mills; residential, 811.6 mills; separate school, bus. and ind., 80.6 mills; res., 74:6 mills, This compares with the 1966 rate of public school 84.1 and separate school '77.4 molls. Tolwn treasurer D. H. 'Wilson in presenting the budget to the council at •a special meeting on 'Monday night, explained that the residentialrate is six mills lower than business and indust- rial this year because of the fact the prolvinciel grant applies 'only to residential property. Like last year the council found itself still haunted by de- ficits from the hockey and arena which took up a lot, of the discussion tune of the meet- ing. A -motion Was passed that Seaforth in conjunction with Tuckersmibh is in favor of em- barking on the ironing and plan- ning projects -and it was hoped to have a man from the depart- ment at next meeting. ,.'W.ith 1$130,000 unpaid taxes on the books, council decided Go proceed soon with the tax sale on properties over three years in arrears. Appointment of an 'aetive tax collector was men- - Coned. A. tax collector might keep after tax delinquents and encourage installment paying where necessary, Mayor McMaster said he had. 'written a personal letter to O!PIP headquarters at Mount Forest, asking if it would be acceptable if (Seaforth could hire one Provincial constable as chief and two local men as as- sistants. The reply stated itwas unlikely to receive approval. Comments on the town bud- get revealed that the county rate is half of, Seaforth's gener- al rate; that the item of $7,000 for sundries includes the grader and other expenses not charged directly to any one committee such as grants; that the, High 'School rate of 6.8 is made up of 1,5 Seaforth share of the deben sss'isass and 5.3 general H.S. rate, and that sewer debentures and operation are paid for from three sources, frontage tax, rentals, and server rates. Tax 'penalties will be as in other years, 1% per month added after Oct. 1st to Dec. 31, and then % of 1% per month. A. new statute allows a flat 4% to be added but council decided there is more incentive to pay under the present rate. Mayor (McMaster said some: people do not realize that 34 of 1% per month adds up to 6% per year penalty. •It was stated that the tax arrears under three years be- hind are roughly half of the to- tal tax arrears. Council thought more aetive collection methods, are needed. The usual petition for pay men�t, on statutory highway im- J ,'efiient grant amounting to about 13,000 was 'passed. Eric Munro was •authorized to ereet a'businiess sign on his lawn on. Goderich Street sub- ject to approval IA. letter protesting flooding back of a store by water from the (back alloy was talked over. 'Chairman Christie of the street committee said the merchant does not 'want a dyke built and the best solution, would be .a catch basin to the sewer, on store property. To start the zoning plan, a conunittee must be named to draw up a plan which must meet with approval of the Mun- icipal Board. IA letter from the Department of Municipal Affairs was read re an inquiry from the town about how to go about reimburs• ing five local men who had $4;500 stili outstanding on the •.arena floor. The best method 'suggested appeared to be pay- -anent of 1$1,500 this year and asking the council for the next ,two years to pay like amounts, .Some councillors thought it should be left till next year as it was not budgeted for. Facts from discussions: A mill on the tax rate 'produces $11;606. ani 'Seaforth. The $12,000 for rebuilding town hall comes out of surplus. Arena . floor cost $110,000, of which $4,600 is still unpaid and little prospect of paying it from arena earnings. /Those who , have worked for ,hockey and also arena get little credit froon the' pnlblie for bheir "time land energy expended. There will be no Junior 03 Hoc- - key this year here, just juven- ile, etc. ' Junior B hockey has cost the ratepayers $3,600 or more in the, past couple of years plus 12,000 in booster tickets. ICosccerning the cemetery, Reeve IScoins said he and ICoun cillors.Ball and Christie had anet with three board members. Fig- ures -to show what percentage the surrounding municipalities use, the cemetery had been ' promised. The ;cemetery board had indicated they would be vei'lling to carry on if the town would take :care of the deficit. Council feels the other nun4ci! patties anust also pay a share. Councillor HalbkirRe rOporte'd work is in progress on the wash- rooms in the town ` ,'hall.
