Government Supervision Cuts Sudbury Municipal Tax Rate SUDBURY (CP)--Sudbury is running against t he tide of in- ereases in Ontario municipal tax rates this year. The firm ruling hand of the Ontario department of municipal affairs lopped $90,000 off the budget prepared by city coun- cil and reduced the rate by three mills. To most of the city's 8,000 tax- yers the cut was welcome. Pub- ke school supporters will pay on a rate of 73.5 mills this year and Roman Catholic separate school supporters 88. In 1952 the rates were 76.5 and 91. However, city officials see in the background a more rigid appli- cation of the supervisory powers of the department. Sudbury first came under department supervis- in 1934 when it got into finan- eial trouble in the depression like many other Ontario municipalit- fes. Since then, the city had been fives a progressively freer hand administering its affairs. Mayor Dan Jessup, 62-year-old retired grocer, said: "'I guess we've pever really been out of supervis- fon. We have to tell them where we spend our money and why." Actually, the new supervision eame about because the Ontario ture in 1952 approved legis- on requiring municipalities get- ting a provincial grant in lieu .f & mines profit tax to submit to the department for approval their an- Archbishop Renison Now Honorary DD LONDON, Ont.

Two of the townships are McKim and Nee- lon-Garson in the Sudbury area. Sudbury, which gets a $235,000 mine grant this year, sent its 1953 budget estimates and its 1952 audit report to the department for ap- proval. The deparment's study turned | up a $139,000 surplus in the sec-| ondary schools budget. The amount was for anticipated government schools grants which are usually paid at the end of the year. In- stead of borrowi money - from the bank to carry the schools, the | city council planned to collect it | from iaxpayers. The department rejecfed the scheme, said the grant | would be paid at the start of the | year and lopped the $139,000 off | the budget. On Sudbury's $30,130,000 assess- the $139,000 equalled 4% | on the tax rate. The] entire saving wasn't passed along | because some other budget items | were increased. It wound up at about $90,000, or three mills. The department control also brought a study of Sudbury's fin- ancing and accounting methods. | The department said there were | SEEK MISSING MAN: PORT MCNICOLL (CP)--Police, aided by school children, scouts and residents, searched this dis- trict Wednesday for George Green- | ham, 75, retired railway police ser- | eant, missing from his home since uesday night.

Since then, all important civic financial matters are passed with the provision that they are subject to Separiment approval. Btoh city and department are keeping a sharp eye on debenture debt which stood at $5,136,728 at the end of 1952, well within the safety margin of 25 per cent of assessment or $7,500,000.
