No plans to raise County's mill rate
HURON COUNTY - Despite a
provincial demand for: the county to
cul' its budget by nearly a half-
million.dollars, Huron County gov-
ernment docs not plan to increase
its mill rate this year. •
According to a report provided
by the province. the county can Off-
set the cosi of provincially down-
loaded services by cutting expenses
5457.((10 in 1998. The " amount
equals 1.7 per cent of the county's
budget based on financial figures
Irina 1996. That calculation. as it
turn.' out. v.orkc in -the county
favour.
In -1996. the. county had eon-
struetion. expenses for the Health
and •Library Complex, the Court-.
house and the Huronview project.
as. well as. pay equity payouts.
•.'These were one-time expenses. but
• tit the province's eves they were all
part of the county's yearly budget
- and used in calculating the 1.7 per
ccnt.efticiency requirement.
\Vithoin these payments this year
and with the help of continued re-
ductions in welfare payments: the
county . will "in effect" save more
than. the $457.0(}0 required by the
province.
This hcing- the case. when Huron
County.Council net Feb. 5. it ap-
proved a /en) per cent increase in
the mill rate in 1998. This marks
the filth straight year the county
has decided to not inerease its mill
rate.

Are Lucanites sending
more garbage to landfill?
By Craig Bradford
T -A Reporter
LUCAN- - It scents Lucanites just aren't getting the thrcr Rs.
Those three Rs aren't 'reading., writing and arithmetic'. but 're
duce. reuse and recycle'. • '
Deputy Reeve Harry. Wraith dug into recent Lucan landfill num-
-hers with the help of village treasurer Ruth Frost and told the. rest of
council his findings- at last week's meeting. What Wraith and i'rost
found was that Lucan sent More garbage to the i'einilia landfill site
'in '97 than in '96 — 247 tons in '97 compared io 209 totes in '96:
Wraith also found Lucanites are the number one garbage -creditors
- per capita of all the custontcrs Bluewater Recycling serves.'
Though Lucan didn't pay as nmch for landfill tipping in '97 than it
did in '96 ($45/ton in '97 and $64/ton in '96i the increase in total
tonnage making its way to the dump is of concern. Wraith said.
Reeve Robert Benner questioned if recycling is worth the effort
economically.
"Arc we making money with recycling of losing mtey;'
asked. - `
He also said the $2 per garbage hag tag system coupled with the
-separate day for Blue Box pickup has people filling their hags With
reeyclahles to nut•to 'waste' their $2 tag un half a hag.
"At $2 per tag I think people are getting tired of the process." Ben--
- said ul'the Blue.Box regimen of separating recyclahlcs from .gar-
hage anti carting the two different materials to the curb on different
tlatys. He also said hall jokingly "people have stopped taking then
garbage to work" for disposal. . -
Benner wants Bluewater to return to co -collection of recyclable%
-and garbage: to simplify matters for Lucanites. He said new - Blue -
water customers located outside this area fm.rced Bluewater to move
away from co -collection in Lucan. - ' _ -
A report to cimtparc how much more garbage per household is tie-
ing generated in Lucan is to he ready for.council discussion at its
next meeting on March 3.
