The Citizen, 1987-01-21, Page 24PAGE 24. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1987. Blyth taxpayers saved charge Blyth residents paying their tax bills at the bank have been getting abreak, Blyth council was told at its January 13 meeting. Whether or not that break will continue council has not decided. Council met with representa­ tives of the Canadian Imperial Bankof Commerce including Blyth branch manager Sharon Motycka and Rick Howe, manager of Cash Management Services in the Lon­ don office, to discuss the village’s banking package. Mr. Howe noted that a service charge of 95 cents per tax bill is charged by the bank for each tax bill paid at the bank. In most municipalities, this charge is paid by the customer. In Blyth, the village has been picking up the charge. In looking at its costs the village may want to change its mind and have the customer pay the charge but no matter what happens, some people will be having reduced costs. For seniors holding Senior Key Accounts and others holding Key accounts there is no charge for paying bills at the bank and in future, the bank will not charge for the transaction whether the village is paying the service charges or the individual is. There was no provi­ sion for payments by people with Key Accounts in the past so the village was charged the 95 cents service charge whether the cus­ tomer had a Key Account or not. (Senior Key Accounts are available to all Commerce Customers over the age of 60). The bank will begin setting aside the service charge on Key Account holders immediately. Council has made no decision on who will pay for the service charge in future. For the present, at least, the village will continue to pay the tab. The offer has also been extended to the Public Utilities Commission Compare: • More interest • No fees STANDARD TRUST • On-the-spot tax receipts • More options: GIC plan, Special Savings plan, Short Term plan, Self-Administered plan Mcnilxr - Canada Deposit Insurance (orporation 237 Josephine Street, Wingham 357-2022. 138 The Square, Goderich 524-7385 Funeral held at St. Augustine RAYMOND JOSEPH LEDDY The church in St. Augustine was filled to capacity when the funeral service for Raymond Joseph Leddy was held Dec. 31.

Mr. Leddy passed away in Wingham and District Hospital on Dec. 28. Born in West Wawanosh Township in 1896, he spent all his years on the family farm in West Wawanosh, which has been in the Leddy name for three generations, until he moved to Lucknow in 1958. He was very proud of his horses, cattle, farms and family. He was a member of St. Mary’s Church, Lucknow and the Lucknow Town and Country Senior Citizens. He enjoyed many card games with his friends in Lucknow. Mr. Leddy is survived by his wife, the former Gertrude O’Conn­ or, whom he married in 1933; four sons, Dennis of Kitchener, Kenn­ eth of St. Augustine, William of Goderich and Danny, Oshawa; six daughters, Mrs. Bruce (Maureen) Thomson, RR 1, Lucknow, Mrs. Wayne (Monica) Fear, Brussels, Mrs. Bill (Bernadette) Andrews, Auburn, Mrs. Len (Kathleen) Baird, RR2, Wingham, Mrs. Bevin (Anne Marie) Tiffin, Whitechurch and Mrs. Alvin (Elizabeth) Moore, Belgrave.

Jim Howson, PUC chairman said the commis­ sioners would consider the matter at their February meeting. Mr. Howe also discussed with council a new policy for interest on the monthly balance in the vill­ age’s accounts. Last year, figures showed, the village had an average monthly balance of $85,000 in all its accounts including sewer, water, light, general accounts, etc. In addition there was on average, several thousand dollars more invested in term deposits. Under the new banking pack­ age, the village would be able to leave money in its accounts rather than invest it in term deposits meaning a monthly average of more than $100,000 on deposit for which the village will receive interest at a rate 2.75 per cent below prime interest rate. This is virtually the same interest rate available through term deposits saving everybody involved added paperwork. Heart Answers IS WHAT IS A PACEMAKER? The heart has a natural pace­ maker that consists of a small mass of specialized cells produc­ ing electrical impulses that cause the heart to beat. An artificial pacemaker is an electrical device that can subtitute for a defective natural pacemaker and control the heart's beat by a series of rhyth­ mic electrical discharges. An artificial pacemaker is a small battery- powered unit usually implanted under the skin. It sends electrical impulses through tiny wires to the heart to control the heart's rate and rhythm of contraction. Con­ tact your local Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario for more information.
