float another interim levy and the finance committee of council can see no tide over giants the Province coming soon cm the Province we want a meeting thundered Harry Levy when the state of the town finances was made clear by the trea at the committees Monday meeting We written to them talked to them and have completely ignored us In the meantime wt have no money The squeaky wheel gets the oil got to squeak more Levy told the committee Chairman G W Pat explained that when the town paid the levy to the Halton Board of Education and to the region it left the town pockctbook pretty flat The committee is still working on the budget but it will be some time yet Meanwhile the town s expenses go on just the same in spite of the almost empty pot Earlier in the year a similar situation loped and the tow n had to operate on a surplus by Georgetown in 1973 Rescue came in the form of interim tax billing Now the finance committee has instructed the to contact the Ministry of Treasury and Inter Governmental Affairs to tain permission for another interim tax levy or a subtads to tide the municipality over until more tax dollars flow into the treasury Treasurer Peterson said his attempts to contact the Ministry people responsible had been futile They always seem to be in he said or busy with regional affairs The committee felt a meeting this week was imperative and asked the treasurer to pull out all slops in order to arrange it They noted there were still many unknowns they wanted to iron out Tell them we are pretty mad about it said Councillor Levy In letter to council this week Peterson ex plained the difficulty he was experiencing with Government officials over the proposed grant structure He said it was his understanding local municipalities will be paid seven percent of the net levy as a general support grant But this cannot be determined until council has decided what the net levy will be in dollars The Resources Equalization grant will be paid calculated similar to 1973 but the treasurer noted Ik experienced difficulty obtaining the equalisation assessment figures from the Ministry of Revenue Assessment Branch which forms the basis in calculating the grant which represents deficiency on an equalized assessments base Queen Park is blaming the mail strike for the facl that percent of the two combined grants paid to the former municipalities had not been re as promised by the end of April this year However members of the finance committee were skeptical They felt an immediate meeting was to straighten finances out llno Civ lorn and Paul to build a mixture
