As they inl:rease, interest costs increase, says ac- countant Archie Leach of Atkinson, Leach and Neill, "therefore it's a very significant number to follow." A six year review of town finances shows 1977 tax arrears at $16.25 per person. Last year they were $44.53. Back in 1977, arrears were just 6.59 per cent of the total tax le'y; in 1982 they were 12.91 per cent. Arrears took a big jump of more than $12 per person, from 1980 to 1981, when they were increased to $39.38. wr opt) cr, (EST 1975 GOLDSMITH -SILVERSMITH JEWELLERY DESIGNER, Rlv:"Ai S ALSO CIaAMICS WE AV ONG W000.
