Liberty: In All Tl; RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15th, 1929 BALANCE OF YEAR’S EXPENDIâ€" TURE WILL BE CARRIED OVER TO NEXT YEAR. At a special meeting of the Mark- ham township council held at Union- ville last night the rates by-law was passed and the township rate fixed at 8 mills, an increase of one mill over last year. This rate will raise $41- ,527 .56 which will be several thousand dollars short of the amount required this year and which will have to be :carried as an overdraft. The matter of fixing the township rate has been a 'bone of contention for some time. Ever since the big spring flood which did several thousand dol- lars damage to the roads and bridges of the township it was evident that the council, was faced with largely in- creased expenditures this year. The contention has been as the best methâ€" od of handling the increased expendi- ture. The issuing of debentures for a period of five years was suggested and it was claimed that this would a- ‘ void any increase in the township rate Fixed at Eight Mills - Proposal To Relain Old Rate and lssue Debentures Was Defeated. ‘ MARKIIAIVI TOWNSHIP TAX RATE INCREASED ONE MILL THIS YEAR On a division of three against two the council last night decided against the issuing of debentures, and in favor of a .one mill increase of the township rate with an overdraft to be carried over td'next year. The preseenet financial position of the township as reported by the treaâ€" surer G.A.M. Davison showed the township owing the bank at the pres- ent time about $50,000. Of this $15- ,000. has been advanced to the newly formed union school section at Milli- 'ken and will be covered by the issuing of debentures. Approximately $1000 has been paid for electric light instal- lation at Thornhill and will likewise be covered by debentures. The a- mount of township taxes returned to the County for collection, covering a three year period amount to $10,421.50 and a certain percentage of this a- mount will come back to the township treasury this year. i ' It is estimated that it will require the following expenditure for the balâ€" ance of the year; bridges $7000., un- finished road work and' repairs to bridges $8000., Board of Health $400., Salaries $2500., Interest $2000. in ad- dition to items of miscellaneous ex- ipenditure. Deputy-Reeve Stiver felt that the rate should be increased to eight mills and that the overdraft could be wiped out by maintaining the same rate in 1930. He thought that this was bet- ter business than to issue debentures. Councillor Coakwell and the Reeve concurred and the clause fixing the rate at eight mills was adopted. De- putyâ€"Reeve Padget pointed out that with an eight mill rate there would be an overdraft at the bank at the end of the year of $17,000. Treasurer G. A. M. Davison said that undoubtedly there would be an overdraft at the bank at the end of the year and that probably $17,000 would not be far out. He would estimate it at between $15- ,000 and $17,000. Deputy Reeve Padget did not think that this Was good business and favored keeping the ‘late at seven mills the same as last year and issuing debentures for $20- i,000. for a term of five years. Those opposed to the debentures said it would cost a mill every year to carry them, but Mr. Padget claimed it would cost no such thing. Councillor Smith also favored issuing debentures and‘ predicted that the overdraft at the end of the year with an eight mill rate would be $20,000. Speaking in favor of the eight mill rate, Reeve Gohn pointed out that next year the township would receive a government grant increased by some eight thous- and dollars by virtue of the extra 'work this year and also drew attent- ion to the $10,421.50 unpaid taxes which he claimed was a liquid asset. Deputy-Reeve Padget foresaw diffi- culties in financing as he pointed out he understood the township could on- ly borrow up to ninety per cent. of the taxes levied for township purposes. “I think your courting trouble” he 24 hour service. said “but if the majority favor it go ahead. You’ll stand the brunt, but I won’t.” The County tax is also up this year. $43,806. is the amount required for County purposes and this will require a rate of 8.2 mills which is an increaL se over last year of 1.14 mills. The rate for the Police village of Union- ville was fixed at 10 mills and for general High School education throughout the county $7,006.20 with a rate of 1.3 mills. There is also the general township rate for education and the rates for the various school sections according to the amount reâ€" quired. Councillor Smith wanted something done to the sixth concession which he said was in very bad shape. Deputy “Reeve Stiver suggested that there |was a lot of good material on the sid- es which would be scraped up with the ‘grader to fill the bad holes at the side. \The road superintendent Will go over the Scarboro and Pickering townlines iand ascertain how much will have to be done, but the council plans no lar- ge expenditures on these roads this year. .
