water.
Ratepayers can expect an
18 per cent tax increase
East Wawanosh ratepay-
ers will have to bite the
bullet this year in light of
an 18.6 per cent increase in
township property taxes.
The 1984 budget and mill
rates were discussed at last
Tuesday's .meeting of
council.
The hike is due largely to a
45 per cent increase in the
township's own spending this
year which can be attributed
to .10,000 budgeted for a 25 -
acre gravel property, $15,000
for paving at Hutton Heights
and expenditures for the new
Wingham fire hall.
This all comes in spite of a
surplus of almost $27,000 in
the 1983 budget which helped
keep the 1984 budget down
somewhat.
What this means in dollars
and cents is that a public
school supporter in the town-
ship with a farm and resi-
dential property assessed
at $6,000 would pay $1,529
in property taxes in 1984.
That itn increase of $240
from 1t year.
A separate school sup-
porter with property
assessed at the same value
would pay $1,533 in '84, an
increase of $247 from last
year or 19,2 per cent.
However, farmers will
receive a farm tax rebate of
60 per cent on their 1984
property taxes, up 10 per year which is an increase of
cent from 1983, something 14.55 per cent from 1983.

Reeve Neil Vincent echoed
his sentiments, saying the
farmer who is collecting the
rebate this year actually will
pay less in property taxes
than in 1983.
Those living in the hamlets
of Belgrave, Hutton Heights,
Whitechurch, Auburn and on
residential properties
throughout East Wawanosh
will not be quite so lucky,
however.
The average public school
supporter with a residential
property assessed at $2,500
would pay $647 in property
taxes this year, an increase
of $110 from last year and
that is not subject to any
government rebates.
