Budgeting for a modest sur- plus of $982 f‘ina-itvcc chairman HE Hyizdnian told City Couli- eil tstiimated expenditures of the city for 1064 would be $2.— 071l.~1tl2.811 while estiinaled rev- enues would amottnl to 32.030, 352 .79.

Mr. llynrlnian also unveil-3d the new tax assessment of prop- erty which showed a tremendous

tete' property valuation or $77.- 000.tffltl, Last year civic taxes were based on an a~~tu.siii-t,'itt of tuttotmm, This year's taxes. based oi bu."ness occupancy tax. meant the city was able to slttirpfv de- crease the mill rate firm last year's 53.35 per $100 valuation to a flat rate of $2 lhls year.

INCREASED CHARGES

Total taxation for the year is up only 3320.000. the finance chairman stated as he gave rea- sons for the increase. Primarily the rise in spending is due to iner'ases in salaries in A'u‘l‘RS this connection he cited the School Board request If an additional $60000 this year f. r teachers the standard of teaching and hold tramed members of the staff on their lobs.

Another factor. he stated was cost of tlte Teepce incinerator -— which includes garbage col- lection and disposal as a lr service of $89000; a jump l." street department expenses of $31,000 to cover snow remov- ai including Sidewalk clearance.

Debt charges for this year

“t?

A flat rate of $25 oti all auto— mobiles. regardless of age or size. was set for budget pur- poses by City Council last night as finance chairman H.E. Hynd- man outlited revenue and ex- penditures for the. city for 1964.

It is expected to provide an increase over last mobile taxes due to several fac- t rs. Mr. Hyndman said. Among

them is the fact that the city has a list approximately 1.- 000 mote a-utomobilds than

were listed last year.

A welcome break was given taxpayers when Council passed a by-lavv ending taxation on Ilurtiiturc. The phrasing stated.

"all household chattels in-cludv lug furniture and furnishings

and household equipment and effects shall not be subject. to assessment as personal prop- arty.”

BUSINESS TAX

The by-law providing for a business occupancy tax based on the square footage of the picintises used was also pass- ed. All types of business were listed specifically with varying assessment rates per square foot The tax payable will be two per cent. of the total assess- ment W1th 3 minimum basis $2.500.

li'inatncml institutions have. the. lulu-st ' with banks scheduled for assessment at a rate of $39.75 per square foot and finance companies at $30. Dec-tors will pay at the rate of $15.25 as will dentists while credit unions with backing fac-
