CLAIMS FiTLLTIME MAN .
WOULD COST ,VILLAGE , LITTLE
In our ieport- of last week's Coun-
cil meeting, we referred to the esti-
mate, by certain meenbers of . the
Board, that a full-time town employ-
ee, as was proposed; would cost $30:0
a year %ore than what. was paid for
services ilendered during- the; past
year, This it was ,considered might
• affect an increase in the village tie
rate.. • '
It has .since been pointed out to
us, by anothe member of the Board,
that be proposed salary. for thid
full-time man, would, be divided pro-
portionately between the Water sys-
tem, Hydro system and Village with
-each department aisebsed a share of
the Suggested artlary of $700.00.
The Tillage' share; as proposed by
Ou'r informant, would be $200. Last
year, constable fees and ciettinggrass
alone Oat, $120.00, we are advised.
which under the . near plea, , would
Mean an increase' to the taxpayer of
only $80.00, for"whieh he would re-
ceive tbe benefit of additional -set:-
