Reference was also made to such activities as the deliver- ing of bread and other commod- ities. “This is a wrong principle.” declared Mr. Todd in a letter to council. He pointed to the failure of down-town businesses and said that council was re- miss in allowing any person. for a small licence fee, to come into town and take business away from men who were supporting the town through high taxes. It was said that snack wagon operators were also local tax- payers. Not so, said Mr. Todd, return- ing to the attack this week. He pointed out that in at least one case the wagon belonged to Wil- lowdalefand paid only a $30 annual licence, competing un- fairly with local business men who paid many times that am- ount in taxes. The problem was passed back to the police committee for it to solve. ‘that no racing is authorized until after the proposed re- novations are completed". said Councillor Ruth McConkey in agreeing that the licence for 1962 be witheld until completion of the repairs and renovating, local operators would have to meet on their own.

They will len’deavour touset a tax rate which. ‘from year to year, will provide the necessary money for the year’s work. Thus the municipality will know well ahead of time just what work it can do in any particular year, what the cost will be and what money taxpayers and provincial government grants will provide. It’s A Budget Plan In its essence, the plan is no- thing more than the type of budget an ordinary household might follow. Granted that the head of the house continues to bring home his pay regularly, the housewife knows what part of that money should go for certain requirements. such as groceries, and reserves the nec- essary amount for the quantity which experience tells her she will have to buy. Vaughan is doing exactly that with its road management plan. backed by its road financing plan. The head of the household might fall sick, or for some other reason family income might be reduced. Purchases would have to be reduced. as income drops. The same thing, IVaughan officials say. might jhappen to the corporation.

Vaughan Township is likely to establish its new policy with the upcoming budget. It has al- ready put the first plan - the maintenance and construction one - to work by deciding which roads, under its formula. need attention first.

The township. already a fast- growing one. might find road demands increase as new hous- ing, new population pours in. Then. say officials. the increas- ed assessment would provide the extra funds needed, without throwing a heavier load on other and older residents. They rely on that to a large extent for keeping the road tax rate con- stant. Vaughan's outstanding road debentures at the present mom- ent are around $90,000. They would be paid off. year by year. with part of the money receiv- ed from road tax. As the amount declines, more ready money would be available for current maintenance and construction.

Road expenditures, ln- stead of being concealed in the general taxation. wlll simply appear in a section to them- selves. And. say those officials. there will be one additional im- portant result. Under the pres- ent plan road expenditures might actually be smaller than budgetted for. Other expendi- tures might be greater, there- fore a surplus created by sav- ‘ings on roads could disappear into the general funds. With this system. any surplus would be held for the following year's work. Conversely. any over- spending would have to be takâ€" en out of the following year, ‘creatin‘g a truly “pay-as-you-go" pattern.
