8_oronoWeekly Time, ,Wednesday, March I6th, 1977 Sludge rernoval Costly Regional council bas decided to make sure the provincial environment minister is a- ware of the extra cost borne by the region's taxpayers because of the ministry's new sewage plant regulations. Coun. Garnet Rickard, chairman of council's works committee, told council Wed- nesday the ministry's req- uirements have încreased the cost of treating sewage and removing sewage sludge. "It's a horrendous cos," Rickard saîd. Water-Sewer rates again discussed Water and sewer users througbout the region of Durhami have been up in arms recently over what they have termed increasedl costs of this Regional service. This matter was n)efore the Reg- ional counceil last Wednesday and discussed for over an hour and a haîf witb little result other than debate. It was pointed out at the meeting by Couin. Aker that errors in billings are only contained in about one per cent of the billings. Couin. A. Pilkey presented a notice of motion suggesting that the regional water and sewer rate be dropped on June lst. H1e wants the council to endorse ihe charge-back, systemi. This would then mnean that eacb municipality would be in charge of those operations within their own municipal- ity. Counc. Allan Dewar in speaking of cutting costs pointed to the extra costsnow incurred for sewage treat- ment under new regulations and the expeInsive capital "Ever follow that which is good". 1 Thes. 5:15.

Trim i ncrea se to 10 percent The region's finance comn- mittee started the long pro- cess Thursday on reviewing budgets presented by varlous boards and committees in an attempt to keep the regionial tax increase down to 10 per The budgets presented to the finance committee would require a total increase in the amounit raised through taxes of 26.6 per cent, a figure Most - if not ail - regional counillors would find un- acceptable. Finance departmnent offic- ials have estimated that the amouint of assessmient has increased about 412 per cent since last year.

The most significant in- crease in the cost of operating the region in 1977 has occured in the police budget. The police commission has asked for an increase of almost $2 million above last year's police budget, which was set at $8,456,676. The increase proposed by the commission is 23.6 per cent above last year's budget. However, the board also expects to collect 29.2 per cent more from other sources than it collected last year, which means the net increase in the budget for the region's tax- payer would be $1,236,332. This would be 20.6 per cent increase. The police commision set the proposed budget on the basis of having to create 45 new positions in order to meet an arbitration ruling on two-man squad cars and to expand the territory patrolled by the regional police.
