The de: bate on the county road budget came during the final afternoon of a ses- sion of the council called at W hitby this week to decide what the county mill rate would be, a decision which was not reached. The debated road budget was cut from $468,000 to f405,- 000.5 During the debate, Reeve Dun- can McIntyre, of the Town of Whitby, stated that he would "be shot" if he went back to his council and said that he 'had let such a huge budget get through the county council, An indication that such a debate was forthcoming came in the morning session when Deputy-recve Patrick Duffy, of Mara Township, introduced a motion that the proposed budget be reduced by 763,000. This motion was tabled" until the afternoon session when all estimates for this year were in. It- was then announced that two mills would be needed for the opera- tion of Fairview Lodge; 5.2 mills for the general levy and five mills for the county road budget. Incidentally, the 1953 elvy for the Fairview Lodge was 2.2 mills and the 1953 road levy was an_even Jive mills, no shang, me "a in ie -- during the year, the mill is worth $44,422 and the five mill road levy, combining the amount that is expected as a subsidy from the Province, brings in $468,000. Last year -the five mill road levy brought only $405,000. With the final esti- nates in, including the grants to the hospitals and hospitalization costs, the 1954 county levy way going to 12.2 mills. It was in an effort to cut this back by one mill to the 1953 levy, 11.2 mills, that the county road budget was cut. : «& < 16th at A. L. McDermott © 'hapel, con- ducted by Rev. W. A. Swabey, Rector of Church of the Ascension(Anglican). Interment in Mount Hope Cemetery Brantford, Ont., Wednesday, 1.30 p.m. Mrs. Lundy used to have a great interest in children and for years during the depression especially had over twenty children op her list some 'for Christmas stockings which she made herself and filled: with treats and presents. Though not able to go about for some years she will be missed by a number of friends with whom she Account Rate Before Deputy-reeve Duffy's motion was voted on, the County Road Board was given 15 minutes to review their budget or--. This didn't freighten the road board because they came vight back and reported that the $468,- 000 estimate would stand. This was reported by Chaivman Reeve Fred Lamb, of Brock Township, who later announced that he had not been in fa- vour of this stand by his committee and in fact voted with council in fa- vour of the $105,000 Budget, Reeve Melntyre pointed out to coun- cil that if the road budget were left at five mills, or $468,000, the county levy: this year would he one mill great- ¢r than last year. "The means 'of saving is obvious," said Reeve MeIn- tyre. He then pointed out the road costs in the past seven years: 1947-- $216,000; 149---$280,000; 1950--$242,. 000;° 1951--8$300,000; 1952 -$350,0007 1953 $405,000; and now in proposed $468,000, "This seven-year jump is crazy," said Reeve McIntyre. "If T go back to Whitby and say that we added one mill to the county levy because, we are going to spend $468,- 000 on the roads, they will shoot me. Are we going to keep on using the in- creased assessment every year for the eounty roads? 'That money should bring us the social services." . Reeve Cyril Morley, of Pickering Deputy-veeve Duffy's motion since, he claimed, adequate progress had heen made last year with $405,000. Reeve Fred Lamb pointed out that the extra mill this year was nat naing added because the voad budgetewas one mill higher than last year. He pointéd.out that $468,000 "represented only five mills, as levyrhad-been in 1953. The increase, he said, was caused bh the hospitalization budget. - To this other members.of council noted their agree- ment.
