School Boards Now
Four Payments
Some area municipalities may
have to adopt interim tax col- .
lections in view of a ruling by
the Ontario government that all
municipalities will have to
make four equal payments to the
county board of education in
197 0.
An act passes last week requires
almost all municipalities in
Ontario to make such payments
March 31, June 30, Sept. 30
and December 15. Each payment
must equal 25 percent of the
respective municipality's ed-
ucation tax bill for the current
year.
Most rural municipalities
collect taxes only once a year.
with the deadline being Decem-
ber 15. These centres will now
be faced with the choice of
changing their tax collection
procedures or borrowing money
to make the interim payments
to the board.
The bill also provides for pen-
alties in cases of municipal del-
inquency in payment as well
as giving school boards per-
mission to pay discounts to
communities who make their
payments in advance of due
dates.
Most county boards have been
in a financial dilemma this year
as most municipalities.have not
forwarded payments ul Dec-
ember.
The Huron County board learn-
ed that interest charges on mon-
ies borrowed this year have cost
$115, 000.
