On commer- cial and industrial property the 1967 rate will be 102.51. an increase of 6.85 mills. 1n presenting the budget to council and ratepayers April 17, Reeve Gordon Cook noted that “although de- mands made on the township are rather higher than those of 1966, council has been able to present what it believes a reasonable yet realistic bud- get â€"â€" and at the same time continue the pay as you go policy established last year." On levies for services con- trolled by the township. council has been able to lower slightly the mill rate on farm and residential properties. This is due to an increase in assessment of $692,050 and an increased unconditional provincial grant effective on all farm and residential properties. The levy for township pur- poses is 24.25 on farm and residential property and 28.05 on commercial and industrial property. Comparative fig- ures for 1966 were 24.47 and 27.14. Added to this will be the rate for county purposes 14.54 in 1967 114.02 in 1966'; for high school purposes 25.38 on commercial and in- dustrial and 22.84 on farm and residential (22.11 and 19.90 mills respectively in 1966i; public school purpOses 34.54 on commercial and in- dustrial and 31.09 on farm and residential (32.39 and 29.15 respectively in 1966). The township purpose rate provides 5.98 for administra- tion, 13.73 for roads and bridges. 1.38 for fire protec- tion, 5.49 for police pro- tection, .40 for the public libraries (first levy for this purpose), and 1.07 for road debentures. Slight decreases from 1966 in all these cate- gories. except. police protec- tion which remained station- ary. have been achieved. A total road budget of $206,059.50 is included, reâ€" duced to $189,386.32 by a 1966 surplus. With the pro- vincial subsidies receivable. the township will spend a total of $485919 on its roads in 1967. The police budget totals $102,397.18 and provides for a possible additional officer starting July 1. Largest. amount in this budget is for salaries of $74,481. For 1967 the planning board budgeted for an expenâ€" diture of $6,000 and the newly appointed recreation commission for $1,500. The planning board‘s estimate in- cludes CORDA fees of $1,175 and members fees and in- demnities of $3,000. The re- creation committee's major expenses will be $500 for members’ remuneration, $400 for grants, $200 for adminis- tration and $200 for conven- tions and seminars. A grant of $200 is expected. Total expenditures for the three libraries in the town- ship system is estimated at $13,140. which will be re- duced by provincial grants of $5.808. King City Library will receive $3,450. Schom- herg Library $1,500 and Nobleton $4,050. The Class "B" librarian will receive $4,140 for three full days each week. Fire protection. which is provided by departments loc- ated in Aurora, Newmarkel, Bradford, Schomberg, Noble- ton and King City, will cost an estimated $19,945.50. This amount also includes provi- sion of two portable pumps and hose. The township's 1967 as- sessment is $18,588,324, an increase of $692,050. Council has decided to raise the interest rate on un- paid taxes from 6% to 8% as allowed by the Municipal Act and also to discontinue discounting taxes paid in ad- vance. ll'IIll“IIIIllIIllllIllIIlllllIIIlIIIIIIIIIll!IIllllllllll'llllllllllllllIIlI'IlllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIlIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll '1‘ Oak Rid lake Wilcox News ‘ Guides and Brownies Sharon Cummings and June‘ Howard walked up from Brown- ies to Guides at a recent cere-, mony attended by Commission- ers A.

April 11. The inquest was into the death of Timothy Joseph O‘Brien, 59, of Capreol, killed February 22 when his CNR truck was struck by a southbound express train. The accident occurred on a pri- vate road leading to Slater's Lumber Mill. In 1962 Roland Wynn of Un- ionville was killed at the same crossing the jury was told, when his small car was hit by a north- bound train. At that time it was recommended that visibility be improved and whistle sig- nals posted. Subsequently sev- eral clumps of cedar trees were i‘fmoved to improve the visibil- I y. At the April 11 inquest the jury recommended that the‘ old Vandorf Station and toolshed be removed immediately, that the private service road be relo- cated to ensure better visibility and that the responsibility for crossing maintenance be de- fined. ‘ The locomotive engineer test- Eifled his train was travelling at about 60 miles an hour enroute :from Capreol to Toronto and. l I Ithat he blew the engine‘s Iwhistle as soon as he saw thei truck moving toward the track. but it was then too late. “999.9599”...

Business Administrator Bruce Hunter stated there were two “obvious changes from the pat- tern of grade allocation that has prevailed during the past few years." The number of King City chil. dren expected to be accommo- dated, he said, would be at least ‘450. The primary division requires four classes for grades I and 2. “Since these grades are very important in the development of a child," Mr. Hunter said, “there are many advantages to be gained by having a four-room unit in one location. with no split-grade classes but co-opera- tion between the teachers of the primary teaching team." As a result the grades 1 and 2 will be established at the Den- nis School. “Grades 3, 4 and 5“, he said, “will number 52, 58 and 53 re- spectively and will require five classrooms. These grades will form a very suitable unit for the facilities and program at the Doris M. Patton School."
