Total expenditures for the year are expected to be $3,090,644.71. This is an increase of more than a quarter of a million dollars over last year, ($262,766. 87). Drastic curtailment on the part of the council in the cost of its own operations in the civic structure _and the increase in government grants were the main reasons the increase in the mill rate was not more than the 5.6 established by the council. Des- pite last minute efforts the council could not hold the increase to 4.5 mills which was the aim of a number of councillors, ~~ In its economy drive the council not only does not plan to spend money above its 1961 percentage of the mill rate but actually affected -a dollars caused by normal operating proceed- ing to $18,302.43. However, increased county financing charges and educa- tion costs set the groundwork for the highest mill rate ever for the town of Whitby. LITTLE CHANGE IN HIGH SCHOOL SALARY RATE "At a special meeting of Stouffville Dist. High School Board on Tuesday afternoon last week an amicable agreement was reached on the few points concerning Balaries which had been requested by the teachers. ~~ The Stouffville teachers did not re- quest 'any change this year in the basic pay structure, and the few -| changes made, will have littl¢ effect on this year's budget. The minimum salaries paid in each of the four cate- gories-remains unchanged, lowest be- ing $4,600. Only alteration was in the change in the maximum which was increased by $300. However, since none of the teachers has reached this number of years, this will not cause any increase in the present year.

STOUFFVILLE TAX RATE MAY BE UP Councillor William Parsons, chair- man of the finance committee of Stouffville municipal council, gave notice on Thursday night that it would appear that the local tax rate for 1963 would have to have some in- creases. Mr. Parsons made the state- ment following receipt of this year's levy for Stouffville which will amount to $33,786.27, up some three thousand dollars over last year. Councillor Parsons said that with "the county's extra $3,000 and a prob- able $7,000 increase in public school 'costs, some increase in the tax rate District Churches SCUGOG, MANCHESTER PROSPECT UNITED CHURCHES After the bright sunshine and clear skies of last week, we are given clouds and moisture this week.
