Although cautioning that these are rough estimates only, Port Perry councillor Richard Drew calculated that an average home in Port Perry assessed at $4,000 will see a total increase in taxes including regional and education of less than $50, or in the neighbourhood of 6.5 per cent. Taxes on properties in other areas of the Town- ship are expected to increase at about the same percentage level. While budgets are a serious time for members of the local council (especially in an election year) there was a little bit of levity thrown into the discussions Monday afternoon centering around a $6,000 item for the cost of municipal elections later this fall. : It was suggested that in the interest of fiscal res- traint and a saving of $6,000 to the taxpayers, the council would be willing to cancel the elections this year. Members of council got a, 'chuckle from the idea. against the liquor licence application and asked that it not be granted until the site plan differences between the resort and the Township were resolved. - The signing of a new site plan agreement between the Township and the resort to cover such things as trailer locations, parking sites and the number and location of boat slips has been a bone of contention for several months. Earlier this year, the council refused a build- ing permit for the construc- tion of boat slip coverings, and a meeting between the council and representative: of Goreski Resorts ended in stalemate and the threat of legal action against the Township by owner Phil Goreski. Canadians 'Continued more wasteful and frivilous schemes (remember the Bi- Bi Commission and its costs) much of it promoted by the powerful Ontario Francophone Association and funded to the tune of $300,000. of the taxpayers money by Trudeau we might consider being liter- ate in English first, and use the rest of the money to build 50,000 low-cost housing units so badly needed. : What the country needs is jobs first and a stable econ- omy, not 87 cent dollars and not more French.

Kelly, President Assoc. of Dedicated Canadians. : Move into Spring RON MENZIES 986-5633 JACK LALLY 985-3746 GREG MENZIES 668-4755 GRANT MENZIES MOTORS 1250 Dundas St. E., Whitby 728-2822 LZ <i ¥
