Tax3h.%Kes may not go up as igh asexpected ,While an increase in Whit- by property taxes is almost a certainty, it appears as though they wÎl not be as bad as orlginally forcast. A 5.1 mil, or between $30 and $40 per homeowner, in- crease was indicated in early budget discussions although with the final budget almost in, Whitby's top civil servants have pared their budgets so that- the actual increase will be about 3.3 mills or about $20 to $25 for each houseowner. A $75,000 water and sewage reserve fund could be used to further decrease the tax hike although it is expected that the money will be used to offset the town's share of the cost of municipal bus service. Final costs are expected to be budget chairman, East Ward Councillor Joe Drumm's hands by February 13. It has been estimated that the service will cost $180,000 a year to operate, of which the town will have to pick up more than $90,00 the final budget proposai should be before council before the end of the jnonth. An increase of 3.3 mills represents approximately a four per cent rise in taxes and will be the first increase in three years. Drunim said that the budget is "a good one" ad- ding he is "pleased with how it is giving us what we want without a large increase."
