Council Holds Line On Tax Rate Amid Rising Education Costs
The council held firm on the tax rate after a special meeting following the regular session. Plans include developing town-owned property east of the fair grounds, extending Lawrence Street to Government Road, adding streets and extending water and sewerage. Thirty three lots may be prepared for building if financing is approved, with five or six homes likely this year. The latest home buyer candidate was Lorne Pettitt, and ROM McMurray sought greater life insurance coverage. Only two sidewalk bids exceeded town estimates. C and C Construction, Brandon, bid lower than a Winnipeg firm but both exceeded budget, so much of the program will be cut. All council members attended, Mayor J A Burgess presiding. Accounts paid totaled 2705.81, including 1326.00 for a new town well pump.
