Council Sets Tax Rate At 43.5 Mills For Year
At a special meeting the city council set the total tax rate at 43.5 mills with 18.5 for general revenue 22.60 for public schools .85 for public library and 2 for Alberta government tax. The rate is 2.5 mills higher than last year though assessment reductions over the past three years will offset the increase. Separate school tax rose from 223-4 to 27 mills due to fixed costs. Mayor Bullivant said relief costs rose 6500 and a road-paving program requires 5000 more for public works and to cover gas explosion claims. An additional levy funds the Alberta government tax under the new impost.
