Stephen Drops Mill Rate But
Overall Increase Hikes Taxes Higher
Stephen township council low-
ered its mill rate this year, but
ratepayers will still pay more
taxes.
General increases in education
and Huron county denians have
resulted in a general residential
and farm increase of 2.39 mills
and a commercial increase of
3.73.
Thar computes approximately
to $l1.95 residental and $18.65
commercial ratepayers will have
to cough up this year on an
assessment of $5, 000.
For separate school supporters
the picture is brighter. Faced
with an imbalance in general
supporters favour last year, in
1969 the still rates have been
equalized, meaning separate
residental taxpayers face only a
.69 increase while separate
commercial increase is but
1.22 stills.
Township clerk -treasurer Wil-
bert Wein said following the
meeting Stephen is the first
township in Ontario able to lower
its mill rate.
Although the overall picture is
up over 2 stills, this results from
a 2 mill hike by the county,
2.59 mills for public schools,
2. 8 stills for secondary schools
and .69.in separate school taxes.
In other words, had the township
rate remained the same as in
1968, taxpayers would have faced
over a 7 trill increase.
As it worked out Mr. Wein
explained township council was
able to reduce its portion of the
mill rate by 5 mills, keeping
the general increase down to an
acceptable -level.
The same applies to commer-
cial trill rate. The county
increased 2 mills, secondary
school 2. 87, public school 3.11
and separate school 1.22 .
However the township rate reduct
ion of 4.25 mills resulted again

in an increase of only 3.73.
The townships reduction hinges
on a deficit in 1967, due to an
operating deficit council increase
the 1968 rate by nearly 7 mills.
however, operating costs have
levelled.off and council, having
made up the deficit last year,
can reduce the still rate.
Three police villages in the
township have 'not faired. so well.
Dashwood faces a general rate
increase of three mills bringing
the rate up to 15. however,
township administration costs
levied have jumped for resident -
al to 9 from 7 and commercial
13.5 from 10.75.
Total rates for both public
and separate school supporters
in Dashwood for are 84.65 resid-
ental and 95.57 commercial.
Crediton faces similar increases
Although general purpose assess-
ment remain at 15 twills plus a
special fire protection levy of
five trills, administration levies
are up to 9 trills residental, 18.5
commercial for total still rates
of 89.65 residental and 103.87
commercial.
