Public ty now to service industrial land which will eventually produce supporting assess- ment and provide more bor- rowing ability for schools and services?" It is with this end in view that the waterworks com- mittee and council have pre- pared a two year plan of water development which calls for water servicing the area from the present Edge- ley well along No. 7 High- sites lately. The total estimated cost of the first year of the water program would be $366,000 with the second year cost- ing a total of $336,000.00 The anticipatEd expendi- ture for the first year would be $56,828.59 with $25,828.14 of this cost being met by present assessment in the enlarged Edgeley - Concord __ . .. Council forecasts an in- crease in industrial assess- ment for 1965 taxation pur- poses of $3,945.713. On the basis of the 1963 tax rate, this assessment would pro- duce a total tax yield of $286,064.18. Mr. McDonald felt that by 1967 further in- creases in industrial assess- ment could well begin to cause a drop in the mill rate in the township. was the only means by which the council feels they can attract industry to the township. Coun- cil plans a series of fut- ure meetings with rate- payers groups, service clubs and federation of agriculture groups to acquaint residents of the township fully with the proposed waterworks ex- tension plan.

Road costs are also expected to increase from four hundred thousand in 1962 to some nine hun- dred thousand in 1967. To meet these almost astronomically rising costs council realizes that the township must have more industrial assessment. “It is apparent" stated Mrs. McConkey, “that with no increase in assessment, considerable borrowing will be necessary in the years ahead to provide schools and services for the residents of the township. Why not use some of our borrowing abili- ty now to service industrial land which will eventually produce supporting assess- ment and provide more bor- rowing ability for schools and services?" one welcome.
