Despite thecutback, taxes will rise approximately four per cent because of increas- es in education levies. "Isn't that nice?" council- lor Betty Graber said glanc- ing at the proposed budget, noticing 1983 expenditures were down approximately $5,000. "We're cutting everything down and cutting ourselves right out of business," said Gord Workman. "We're making ourselves poor." "The schools don't care how much they put the taxes up", said reeve Cal Krauter. Lower expenditures re- sulted because the "one-shot deals" of 1982 were not included on the new budget, said clerk Bill King. "Last year our mill rate really Jumped (35 per cent). Now ""we're back down to a normal' level with a 10 ver cent cut." Drath- Parks and recreation was budgeted $1,000. "We have to have more money for recreation," said Mr. Work- man. A $2,200 expenditure for a porta-pump and tank was cut from the fire budget. There's no problem strok- ing it off," said councillor Jerry Wheeler. "We're set- up for town fires. The equipment the department has is split up between the two trucks as good as can be expected with what they have." Council approved transfer- ring the $2,200 to the re- creation department. Any- thing is better than a kick in the butt with a hard boot," said Mr. Workman. "The arena is in the black. The revenue is good and people are attending. We're not hurting yet, but there is competition from the new facility in Seaforth." &'The $3,200 is mote rea- listic," Mrs. Graber said. "1 would like to see parks and recreation receive $5,000 each year," said Mr. Wheel- er. 'People are working hard. It would be a cushion. It's a good spot to put it." "I say we give when it's needed," said the reeve. "1 say we give, then we've got it," replied Mr. Wheeler. "If you have money set aside that normally would not be used, people tend to get carried away in their expenditures," Reeve Krau- ter said. "1 don't think we're far behind. There have been times when the village has given to recreation and no- DISC JOCKEY STEVENS Country Gold & ROCK 'N' ROLL Good recorded music for weddings, dances, anniversaries, parties, etc, 5 years experience Phone Brussels (daytime or evenings) body else has," said council- lor Workman. The Huron 'County school board levy will increase $12,789 from the 1982 total of $118,135, an 11 per cent increase. Vehement in his stand against school board increas- es, councillor Workman said, "we sit here and say we have to take it. Somewhere along the line we should be heard." A Brussels resident with a $3,000 property .assessment, would have paid $619.26 in taxes in 1982. The four per cent increase means an additional $28.22. 887-6159 Two delegates named to go to the Hamilton convent- ion were Jane White and Helen Dobson. Evelyn Mair won the door prize.
