Biophy told the councillors they must also
be reparedto speak before.. the board ex-
p g they gave first and second reading
to the by-laws because they support the pro -
tact, however, as ratepayers, in the village,.
hey must also point out they believe the
cost of the project is exorbitant.
Councillor Ab Murray commented that
people .facing retirement want tO . pay off
their portion of the sewage debenturin one
luuaip sum to reduce the costs, they will have
after retirement. Ratepayers. are 'concerned
about the cost of this project, he stressed.
The village's auditor, Bill Vodden of
Durst, Vodden and Bender who also.attend-
ed the July meeting of council, stated that.if
everybody in the village' were being servic-
ed,, the village could assess a .charge 'based
on frontage or some other 'basis and give
ratepayers the choice of paying it in" one
lump sum or over a period of 20 years. ,.
"The Municipal Act only allows you to
make a lump sum charge if the property is
benefited," said Vodden. Since only the
business core area 'of the village is being
serviced the remaining ratepayers who are
not serviced cannotpay their sewage pay-
ment In one payment. yment. They must. pay their
share of the .debenture through the mill rate
over a 20 year period.
"Those out of the serviced area get' .it in
the ear twice," commented councillor Mur-
ray, They can't pay their charge in one pay-
ment and; they have to pay the interest as a
result. Moreover they aren't getting sewage
service..•

killing this project,"observed Murray,

These services were . provided to 1,188
district residents on a short-term basis
during. 198182 under an acute home care
program at a cost of More than $600,000. The
average length of stay in the acute program
is 30 days; in 'the chronic home care k
program the average is 120 days.

Unit will administer the new program which
