20 PC Tax Possible In

MONTAGUE — A tax increase of upwards of 20 per cent may be necessary to carry on the business of the town of Monta- gue for the next year. This op- inion was expressed in general by council members following a study of the budget at the con- tinued . monthly meeting held Monday evening in the council chambers.

The meeting was necessary to conclude departmental budgets most of which were presented af the regular monthly meeting. It is now agreed the town will need a budget of $36,520 to car- ry on the’ business and program of each departmental budget. This is about $4,000 over 1964.

The new budget includes such amounts as $1,600 for the fire brigade; $950 for tourism and in- dustrial promotion; $6,400 for sanitation which also includes an incinerator building at ‘the dump, and an operator; $1,000 for operation of new hockey rink; $5,600 for general govern- ment, and other departments.

An increase of 20 per cent would give the town approxi- mately $3,200 and with all things being considered could leave the town with a balanced bud- get, for 1963.

MOVE REGRETTED

All councillors expressed re- gret at having to increase taxes but stated the total revenue was mot enough to supply all the ser- vices demanded by the taxpay-
