Zurich Citizens News, 1961-03-16, Page 3THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1961 South Huron High School Holds Same Tax Rate For Fifth Consecutive Year South Huron District High School Boards plan to dip into its surplus funds this year to hold its rate to seven mills for the fifth year in a row. The board decided last Tues- day night to hew to the tax line it established in 1956. It's the only tax -levying body in this area which has been able to do so. However, unless provincial grants increase considerably, the rate will go up next year. The board decided to cut its surplus in both capital and oper- ating accounts to meet increased expenditures in 1961. Pay First Debentures From the capital surplus of some $30,000, the board will meet the first payment of $14,000 on the de- bentures for last year's addition. Most of the surplus resulted from savings on construction and furn- ishings costs for the addition, which trustees felt should be used to re- tire the debt. Wins Award For Essay Glen Greb, RR 3, Zurich, won second prize in a Credit Union esay competition at the Western Ontar- io Agricultural School, Ridgetown, it was announced last week. He receives a cash award of $20.00 plus an expenses -paid trip to Toronto for the annual conven- tion of the Ontario Credit Union League. Winner of the contest was Ken- neth Ryan, RR 1, Walton. Third prize was won by Paul Waters, RR 7, Parkhill. GIen Greb is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Greb, RR 3, Zurich. In its operating budget for '61, the board estimates the balance will be reduced from $47,000 to about $4,000. Secretary -treasurer E. D. Howey described the budget as "skin tight" but noted there would still be some reserve in the capital account if unforeseen expenditures arose. Budget Breakdown The budget provides for receipts of $279,000 of which $48,000 will come from the local tax levy. The provincial grant is expected to re- main about $155,000 and tuition claims on other schools, including RCAF Centralia, will amount to roughly $28,000. Instruction costs are expected to increase from $156,500 to $170,- 000 and plant operational expenses from $16,000 to $19,000. The trans- portation cost was set at $55,000, a hike of $5,000. Levy To Raise $100,000 The seven -mill levy will raise $101,004.71 in the eight municipal- ities in the district. Nearly 553,000 of this will go towards debenture retirement. Of the total levy, the urban areas of Exeter, Grand Bend, Hensall and Zurich will provide 34,17 percent. The balance of 65.83 percent is pro- vided by rural municipalitiees of Ilay, Stephen, Usborne and a small part of Tuckersmith township. Percentage contribution by mun- icipality is: Exeter, 18.86; Grand Bend, 5.38; Hensall, 6.46; Zurich, 3.47; Hay, 20.70; Stephen, 25.53; Tuckersmith .73; Usborne, 18.87. Municipalities will be asked to make two payments toward main- tenance costs, the first in June.

Sur and Spice (Continued from Page Two) from the fact they'd have a lawyer on you if you gave them a dirty look, there's a wonderful new sympathy between teacher and stu- dent. I'll bet there's not a single kid in any of my grades who would refuse to sign the class card of condolence to my wife, if I were to be run down by a bulldozer. How do I like teaching? Well, say, I haven't really time to dis- cuss it, right now. I have four hours' homework to do, an exam- ination to prepare, and an hour's work on the school yearbook. Come back and ask me in the summer of '63. One coat painting!

PAGE THREE New Road Maps Are Now Available The 1961 edition of Ontario's of- ficial road map, introduced in the Legislature yesterday by Hon Fred M. Cass, QC, Minister of Highways, has several innovations in addition to the annual revisions. The most noteworthy is the mar- king of all routes of Ontario's por- tions of the Trans -Canada High- way. The marking is done with facsimilies of the actual Trans- Canada road sign along the routes. Each route is also clearly named. Another adition to this year's map is the inclusion of 95 new plac- es across the province. The annual routine revisions in- clude new completed roads and highways as well as roads under construction, new bridges, ferries, parks, etc. Also shown are new highway numbers and renumber- ings. City route plans, too, have been brought up to date. This year's cover features scenes . from the Upper Canada Village now ;; being erected east of Morrisburg by the Ontario St. Lawrence Devel- opment Commission as a historic tribute to the early pioneers of the area. Over the years there has been a considerable increase in the de- mand for this official highway map. As an example, this year's press run will total 1,500,000 as com- pared to 1,000,000 five years ago.
