councillors salaries by per year to help lowei the more than million Halton regional budget was defeated by Halton council Wednesday Coun Carl Erikscn Norval School Not Yet Dead Trustee Richard Goodin moved a motion at the Board of Education meeting Thursday to recon sider an earlier decision to close a public school In Halton Hills However the other board members defeated he motion even though the board room was filled with more than 50 village residents from Norval The board decided that the threeroom school would be closed in September but spokesman for the residents Julian Reed said our children will be registered at Norval next year r Trustee Goodin said after the meeting that the residents deserved a second chance I believe that if the school goes the community goes he added Here is a great chance for cooperation Halton and Peel if the board Is com plaining about a lack of students he added pointing out that the village is very close to the boundary between Peel and region He explained that the residents had presented the board with a well documented brief outlining alternatives previously Were always looking for better education for the dollar he said Mr noted that the matter could be moved for reconsideration again if the residents wanted It made the motion In an attempt to lower the budget by He suggested the pay cut from to for each coun cillor I submit that if were really concerned about reducing the suggested mill rate then this is an easy way to reduce the budget and show the taxpayers that were concerned about it he explained However most of the other councillors disagreed with the motion and Coun Jim Watson Milton suggested an amend ment to it Lets make applicable to those who wish It to be and no one else he said claimed that the amendment was a copout answer and an easy way of getting around my motion Council dfeated the motion and another by Coun who offered the only con ways to cut the budget except for the 10 per cent blanket cut His second motion was to cut the amount of reserve ac counts or cashon hand by However Mac An derson argued against the motion noting that the region needed firm reserves to conduct business If we agree to this than consider what well have to do to maintain a balance Were just putting off today what well need to do tomorrow council wants to bring the reserve fund up later he said The treasurer Don Fanner added that the motion was feasible but It would put a burden on the area municipalities in the future First its wise to have some working capital it helps reduce the amount of bank borrowing also Its reasonable not to expect very much pressure release on the mill rate he explained regional council agreed to cut 10 per cent from each of the regions depart ments budgets In hopes of lowering the mill rate for taxpayers but regional treasurer Don Fanner was not very optimistic about the end results Mr Farmer noted that the 10 per from certain budgets which the region controlled and did not include the conservation authorities levys certain social services and the police commissions budget He explained that the total cut would be about from the proposed budget which was accepted by council Wednesday For the taxpayer I would guess that it amounts to about threequarters of a mill decrease across the region which Isnt very much Mr Farmer explained after the meeting Layoffs of staff he said would be one of the few ways to cut back the per cent by many of the departments I dont see how the departments can cut back their budgets which are already stashed to the minimum he added We have a choice now of either cut back our services or overspend our budget and layoffs are the only thing we can use right now were working understaffed in an overloaded situation Mr Farmer explained

price for the according to president Bruce McClure Mr McClure a Georgetown farmer noted that on the average an acre of land in the area is worth between and dollars within this range is a figure the fanner should receive The main thing Is for far- men to stick together to get a fair price If they decide bargain on their own and this Is what Hydro probably trouble he said Mr McClure explained that if Hydro bought a parcel of land for a low price they may be able to use it as a lever against other farmers asking more for their land The main thing Is to stick together and make Hydro pay the price we decide on Theyre not known for going over board he added NO H1RINGS The Federation Mr out may not hire a for the land transaction depending on how the situation transmission lines proposed to run through Halton would af fect between 30 and of the farmers represented by the Federation of Agriculture He said that the federation was considering sending a letter of protest to the provincial

Anderson He explained that it would not include childrens aid police or community services I dont know of a better way than this to cut the budget It may be an easy way out but with the way the council is today I doubt if hours of bickering will accomplish anything he said EXCESSIVE IMPACT Terry Mannell was not very pleased by the motion of an arbitrary cut of 10 per cent He felt that the budget did not have an excessive im pact Were not really cutting per cent from the budgets but actually 20 per cent because six months of the year have already passed he argued He felt that the budget should not be changed because it is as low as it was going Weve gone through this every time we Set a new piece of paper on It added This is not a responsible method of looking at a budget at this time I say a 10 per cent blanket cut Is irresponsible or just an easy way out Coun Mannell said Carl agreed with Mannell He felt the cut was an easy way out but not a responsible way out after the
