Tho Acton FreoPfoss Wednesday Sept 171980 by John McDonald Deficit only icebergs tip Mannell says Steve Arnold The MOO Bur prise deficit that shook Region this year is only the tip of a huge Iceberg according to Councillor Laurie Mannell In a letter to the regions administration and finance committee last week Mr asked for reports by regional on several other financial dealings carried out by the region that he felt were proper and illegal It is my opinion he wrote that the 197080 council has an obligation to put its house In financial order before turning the region over the council Italians original deficit resulted from a late audit unexpected increases in interest rates and lower than expected revenues for some services trimming exercise car out by regional department heads If my calculations arc correct Mr Manned wrote this year we have used up all or nearly all of our general reserve funds In the amount We have used or committed of Subdivision Trust Funds we have completely eliminated the Funds and in the case of money collected for hospital expansion have used all funds on hand and Most of deficit is being made up Winter like this were common back in the This shot was

Fin committee last week that only re mains of the original Mr Stewart said that a month long review of budgets by department heads turned up In savings the absolute maximum that could be cut from the budget The review Itself has yielded little in the way of available savings he wrote The operat Mayor agrees with bat handling method Mayor Pete is completely satisfied with the way Hills Control Officers handled the rabid bat incident two weeks ago the mayor told council Monday night Little Jay Lawrence who was wounded by the bat has finished his treat me with no side The mayor said re ports he was calling for an investigation were wrong He said after talking to animal control officers and the Health of Animals Branch of the government he felt the matter had been handled well and the present process needs no change According to a letter from District Veterin arian of the Health of Animals Branch in Brampton the animal control officer should determine if there has been any human or other animal contact with the animal suspected of rabies If so the branch should be notified at once If there has been human involvement the process in the lab In Ottawa is speeded up and the number of possible contacts told to the medical officer of health so enough rabies vaccine is on hand SCWtf EhKOUR FROM WEIGHT JOIN NOW SAVE 400 WDGHTWATCHOtS MEETINGS IN YOUR AREA GEORGETOWN ACTON II

covered and nothing more could be done with out reducing current levels of services Mr Stewart recently appointed acting treasurer also mended changes in the system of budget control used by the region The new system he said provide council with ongoing in formation that should another deficit impassible committed of funds not yet collected I suppose it can be argued that as elected officials we have the power and the right to taxpayers money in any way we see fit However I honestly question Hie propriety and in some cases the actual legality of the way we used money collected for one
