Mill rates rise nearly 5 per cent in Terrace Bay by Darren MacDonald The News The Township of Terrace Bay plans to spend a total of $6,364,302 in fiscal 1992, a figure which includes spending for local schools. Municipal mill rates are going up by 7.67 per cent, while secondary school mill rates are increasing by 2.60 per cent, and elementary school mill rates are up 2.96 per cent. Meeting June 15, Council passed a by-law empowering the township to set this year's mill rates, which overall have increased an average of 4.98 per cent over last year. The municipality estimates it will raise $1,942,481 through sources other than taxes. "Provincial grants make up a lot of that amount," says Clerk- Treasurer David Fulton. "And the rest is made up of fees that we charge individuals and organizations for things. Some of it is money we're taking out of reserve funds, licenses, and all kinds of odds and ends." Residential mill rates are set at 46.685 for general purposes, 29.931 for separate and public schools, and 24.953 for sec- ondary schools.
