Photo by Bill Henderson At _ council; Monday, Reeve James Service stresâ€" sed it is his hope, that North York‘s "hold the line" budget will set an example for other Metro municinalities, Metro itself and Métro school boards to follow. Control sliced enough muscle and fat off North York‘s budget this week to hold the township mill rate at last year‘s 14.95 mills. If Metro and the North York school board followed council‘s example, the township‘s residenâ€" tial mill rate wouid be set at last year‘s 65.13 mills or roughâ€" ly $326 a year taxes on a house assessed at $5,000. The Board of Control budget was passed by council without a comment. But the rising costs of urban development a n d building schools rule out this possibility. Metro council, and‘ the Metro and North York school boards are all expected to up budgets 10 to 20 per cent soon, which means that taxpapyers can exâ€" pect a five to eight mill tax in. crease. Council pegged the mill rate on the basis of an _ expected seven per cent revenue increase due to new construction. The township library board which can spend _ almost | as much as it likes, was convinced by Board of Control to trim its budget in line with other deâ€" partmental decreases. The question some counciliors now ask is whether this year‘s holdâ€"theâ€"line policy can be mainâ€" tained next year. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of road pavâ€" ing projects, new trunk sewers and building projects were exâ€" cluded fromâ€" theâ€"budget. â€"Councit lors know these projects can‘t be put off forever. Due to the rapid increase in the cost of education, the. townâ€" ship education rate this year will rise several mills. If wage demands are accepted by the board, an additional three mills would have to be added to this increase. & Young People‘s Annual Outing A Smash Hit The annual winter outing of St. Jolzfs Young People Club was held at the Boiton Golf & Curling Club. The afternoon started off on the right foot with a singâ€"song which was acâ€" companied by Chuck Ferguson at the piano. After the singing half of the group spent the reâ€" mainder of the afterncon on the curling rink while the rest enâ€" joyed a quiet two hours either playing cards; miniature pool or just watching the curlers.
