Tax bill is up 10 mills for 74 Wingham taxpayers will have to shell out an additional $10 for every $1,000 they are assessed for this year as the town trys to scrape up close to $31,000 more to meet its projected expenses. That was decided upon at a special council meeting on May 14, which was called to discuss this year's budget. I The increase will, for the `most part, be gobbled up by the coun- ty's levy on the town. That levy increased by more than *31,000 over last ` year. However, the overall increase may be some- what deceiving. Last year the BRUCE MacDONALD was honored at last week's Wingham Kinsmen Club meeting. Mr. MacDonald was pre- sented with a plaque in recognition of his 17 -year associa- tion with Kinsmen. This year's Kinsmen president,bGarry Robinson, ade the presentation on behalf of a grateful club.

C. children a snowmobile which is used for winter police work. Were he is ff PP the (Staff Photo) been so high, the town may have been able to hold the line this year on taxes. Councillor Bill Harris also pointed out that there has been an increase in school board assessment on the town. The finance chairman was ready with some comparative figures on that matter. Last year the total residential' assessment for taxpayers supporting public schools in the county was 122.86 mills while this year it is .132.8i mills, for separate school sup- porters the figure climbed to 140,99 mills from last year's i27.3a. For commercial and in- . dustrial taxpayers.the rates have • jumped from 138.04' to 150A0 for public school supporters and from 143.14 to 158.95 for separate school supporters. That adds up to quite an increase when you realize that one mill equals $3,395 of assessment. As it stands now the town is facing an expenditure increase of $76,000 while it can expect only a $31,000 increase in revenue. • town reduced the ratepayer's bill by seven mills or $7 for every $1,000 of assessment. Therefore over the three year period from 1971 to 1974 taxes will have only increased .by three ,mills. While the county .will take the biggest piece of the tax cake there are some increases in town expenditures. The cost of fire protection in the town will rise by $4,500 because the town along with the district has committed itself to the purchase .of a new pumper truck. As well, the •pur- chase of $30,000 worth of land by the towp for industrial use has cut into this year's surplus fund thus driving up the mil�,\rate. Many counc' rs were .Many �. er �C01t-, cerned that recent news reports b st ped >u a n have o noted,that the yerait noun nif1 ratti'e`bas slily *increased . two mills. The councillors fel that such reports may be mi leading unless the public is made aware of the fact that in som towns the mill rate drop drastically and that the two m' figure relates more properly as net increase across - the county not to each municipality.
