The board will take anothervrun at the budget Feb 21.7 with an effort to bringing it to completion. Last week the board presented its first draft of the budget, which showed a jump of $6.8 million from last year, for a total of $74.4 million. The draft, which was presented by staff, showed an extra $3 million in grants this year. Trustees were told there were not sufficient funds on hand to help ease the bite on taxpapers. John Kippen, superintendent of operations. said. also, that they were concerned about the low amount allowed for capital replacement and maintenance by the ministry. Kippen said Bayview Secondary School. for example. should be getting $60 per pupil for that purpose, but was only getting $7. Tax hike probable Speaking about school taxes last week, Trustees Dorothy Zajac and Margaret Coburn of King, said a series of five public meetings were held in King. These showed residents only wanted budget cuts, so long as it didn’t hurt the system.

VAUGHAN â€" The Ontario Housing Action Program planned for East Woodbridge, better known here as Pine Valley Village, will be sent to the province for comments, regional council decided Thursday. Regional staff have objected to the proposal. at both the committee level and at council, because population figures have not been set. This has prevented the region from finalizing its overall servicing allocations. Also of concern are the dates set out in the OHAP agreement. Regional planning committee has called these dates, which signify when necessary ap- provals must be given, unrealistic. The region will not be able to provide sewage disposal facilities for the subject area until 1981.
