committees the proposal was opposed by cr har rison who claimed the town is not obliged to foot the bill for the whole project as an agreement with delrex was for the town to instal services on town streets only while agreeing with him other councillors pointed out that it is more economical to proceed this way than for the town to stick to the letter of the agree ment which would mean a more expensive job by rerouting sewers and waterlines in a roundabout direction harrison wood 28 bairstow crescent drew the ire of fayor armstrong when following a list of questions about the tax rate he continued with what the mayor termed was another speech mr wood asked if new subdi vision houses are paying their way as mr bairstow of the delrex firm had said they would when appealing last year for opening of more building land he asked if any payment has been made oh the penalty clause by which del rex agreed to maintain an indus trial tax ratio if there are any industrial prospects on the horizon now and if the new weber school is budgeted in the current lax rate he was told by the mayor that delrex has paid according to its agreement there are industrial prospects he said but no one can predict what deals in process will end in success the tax budget is based on maintenance and sold debentures he said and as no de bentures have been issued for weber school it does not come within the budget operating costs of the school however have been included in the school board grant mr wood was interrupted by the mayor when he started comment on town growth which he said had been illplanned that georgetown will never have a stable tax rate unless there is an industrial balance roads in the older part of delrex are still unfinished raising his voice mayor arm strong said he would answer any questions but would not listen to a speech youve tried to shush me be fore mr mayor began mr wood and im going to shush you now said mayor armstrong with reddening face have you any more questions no im too disgusted said mr wood as he took his scat another ratepayer ron kitchen 83 mclntyre crcsc earlier asked for commentfroin council on the tax rate last year mr kitchen said the auditor had indicated the town should have a 50 mill rate but instead council had dropped the rate two mills in view of a 13- mill increase this yeaivhe won- dcred if a wise procedure had been taken mayor armstrong explained at some length the position of coun cil in selling a tax rate it is a councils duty he said to budget for the year and finance minister mcgilvray has tried each year to give the best possible tax rate he complimented the towns fin ancial management under mr mc gilvray ten years ago we were on a par with neighbouring towns and in the intervening years we have had lower taxes he said this year there has been a sharp rise but we are still on a par with other towns mr mcgilvray commented- that every year the auditor has sug gested a higher rate but it has always been his idea to keep taxes as low as possible this year inflation has caught up with us however he said and a rate raise was necessary asked by mr kitchen the ma yor said miltons rate this year is 61
