Wawanosh ends the year with surplus The township of East Wawanosh ended 1982 810,436 in the black and in solid financial shape, auditor Nancy Exel of MacGillivray and Company reported at a special meeting of council held last Tuesday evening. Savings were realized in several areas of the town- ship's general account. The largest single surplus, $3,238, was recorded by the Belgrave Community Centre Board, said Clerk -Treasurer Winona Thompson. The board's main fundraising event is its annual turkey supper in the fall of the year, which proved quite profitable in 1982. (The community centre's books are included in the township audit.) The roads budget was 'overspent, said Mrs. Thompson, but the overexpenditure was offset by the collection of tax penalty and interest charges of over $17,000. East Wawanosh went to a two -pay tax system last year, which certainly im- proved the townhip's cash flow, said the clerk - treasurer. Having the extra cash on hand meant the municipality didn't have to b borrow so heavily at the bank, thus cutting down the amount of interest paid. Mrs. Thompson reported the township has over $80,000 in reserve: $52,000 for working capital; $33,000 for equipment replacement; and, $2,870 for fire hall renovations. vents EALE A bake, plant and bulb sale and tea will be held in the Sunday school room of Knox Presbyterian Church, Blue - vale, Friday, April 8 at 2:30 p.m. DANCE At Wingham Armouries, Thursday, April 7 and Thurs- day, April 21.
