Metro government spends more annual. lly than all but two provinces. :Ontario and Quebec. Spends $1/2 billion yearly The title is a long one. Metro Toronto Treasurer and Commis- sioner of Finance. The responsi- bility is heavy. The man in the job is Joe Eakin, a quiet soft spoken man who likes to smoke a pipe. The job itself is worth looking " It pays over $25,000 yearly hut not only must the man in the job look after a staff of over 60 persons. he is responsible for the preparation of annual c'ur. rrnt operating budgets of Metro plus the annual capital spending nrogram and an annual 5-year forecast of Metro, local govern- ment and Metro School Board civic spending. Sure, he has lots of help, but in the final analysis. the responsibility rests with him.
