Home and property owners who do not make at least an application at the municipal office by May 15 will experience an increase over the present rate being arged for the installation of Vjllage is anxious to pin-point xactly how many of these Reach mill installations are left hi rate stable A slight revenue surplus over the past two years and some savings in certain spending areas has resulted in the 1972 Reach Township mill rate remaining un- changedoverlast year's rate. At a meeting held May 1, Reach Council passed a by-law setting the 1972 mill rates at 96 for farm and residential properties, and 105 for commercial and industrial developments. This figure of 105 for the industrial and commercial rate is actually a decrease of about .8 mills over last year. One reason given as to why the mill rate has remained stable is that the Township saved about $3,000 over the anticipated costs for garbage collection and disposal. done, and have as many completed before the road paving program begins. This would include lot owners who might consider development of the lot some time in the future. ; The present fee for these installations is either a flat rate of $200, or a commuted feetobepaidoveranumber of years. Those who do not make application for this work by May 15 will experience an increased rate.

At the outset, Port Perry Reeve Robert Kenny said the meeting had been called with the intention of starting to examine the possibilities of amalgamation, with the hope that discussions of a more specificnature would come in the near future. Thegeneral feeling seemed --to ~be that "amalgamation would be inevitable with the creation of a regional system of government in Ontario County, When asked when this might be, Mr. Church said simply that thie. minister has plans for a region in Ontario County, but the exact date is not know.
