EXPLANATION AS TO 1989 TAXATION INCREASE In order to maintain the level of service provided in previous years, and to continue to provide for some very essential capital expenditures, it has been necessary to increase the 1989 General Mill Rate by 11.2%, (22 mills). This represents an increase of $77.37 on a typical residence with a market value of $50,000 at 1980 assessed value. Taking into consideration that the Township has increased the general municipal requirements by the yearly inflation rate over the last number of years, the balance of the increase is attributable to two factors, the most noticeable of which is that the Provincial Government has held Unconditional Grants to the 1988 level. The resulting loss of revenue causes an increase in the mill rate of about 10 mills. Secondly, the extra heavy snowfall, experienced in 1988, and early 1989 largely account for the remaining increase. As the total tax bill is made up of both Municipal and School Taxes, any increase in requirements of the School Boards are reflected on the tax bill. For the Lake Superior Board of Education, gross requirements increased by $51,259 over 1988, or approximately 22.5 mills. This is for both Elementary and Secondary requirements. The resulting increase on-a home with a market value of $50,000, is approximately $78.00. The North of Superior Separate School requirements increased by $14,000, or approximately 10 mills, over 1988. A residence with a market value of $50,000, will pay the following taxes for 1989. Municipal School Total Public School Supporter $ 692.28 498.41 $1190.69 Separate School Supporter $ 692.28 482.80 $1175.08 ; A. J. Gauthier Clerk-Treasurer
