mended the council for a job
well done and said township
finances are fairly well in
line.
"It's pretty hard some-
times to keep to budget,
but you try," commented
Reeve William Elston.
The lion's share of the
surplus, $7,800, was earned
through penalty and interest
charges on unpaid taxes. The
township also earned money
on interest generated by its
general account: - - ----
The remainder of the
surplus was made up
through miscellaneous
savings on general ex-
penditures.
Winter control was one
area which was overspent in
1982 because of harsh
weather conditions But Mr
Lentz told council members
they should see the opposite
trend in 1983 after this year's
unusually mild winter.
One thing Mr. Lentz did
advise council to do is in-
crease its township reserves
for capital expenditures,
since Morris intends to
purchase a new grader this
year and also is looking into
replacing the township shed
in the near future.
Increasing the reserves
would mean increasing the
township's general mill rate,

for certain expenditures so
difficult. Also, he said he
would prefer if the county

collect their own taxes,
rather than have the town-

forced to borrow the money
to pay at high rates of in-
