Also many children do not need in-patient services, but they do need professional help on an out-patient basis. Sutton Reeve Sam Nasello said he did not question the need [or the service, but the county has only one source of 'revenue â€"â€" property tax, whereas the province has many sources of taxation. “An investment in people will make them more effective own- ers of property,” Mr. Johnson pointed out, adding that the re- quest for the $209,400 would be only about half a mill, and that it would be spread over three years.
