Cartwright: 1.534 mills. In dollars the increases range betwen 5 and 45 dol- lars. Any increase in the local budget which is yet to be announced will drive the tax rate even higher. Regional Council discussed the regional budget, the first for the new region, for over 8 hours. They wound up by approving it and adding a net total of $110,000 to cover waste disposal expenditures. The gross addition was actually $125.000 but $20,000 was reduced from the police budget to bring the extra figure down to $110,000. The following figures (estimated) were approved by Council. Current $16,488,617. Water Works -- $4,441,081 Budget -- (includes a debentured debt.) Sewers-- $3,529,295 (in- cludes a debentured debt.) Waste disposal -- $706,241. Planning and development -- $946,704. Social $2,260,471. Police -- $5,925,654. After allowing for reven- ues, recoveries and provin- cial grants intended to offset extra expenditure during the transition into Regional Government, the amount to be levied on the region stands at $10,436,000 in the original figures to which council added $110,000. The difference between this year's figure and last year's county figure is $2,308,000 showing an in- crease of 28.4 percent. All figures mentioned are subject to change pending possible further grants from the Province for start up costs and pending their final- ization in the form of a by-law not due for another two weeks at least. In comparison to other municipalities in the region Scugog appears to have been the least affected. Here are the figures: Oshawa: tax increase 23.6 percent (2.9 mills).
