UW biologist, has been studying the reproduction of the Atlantic saimon in northeastern Quebec for several years. He‘ll be talking about his work By Jim MacDonald The bad news is that Waâ€" terloo Region will take a larger bite out of the taxâ€" payer‘s wallet this year:; the good news is that it will hardly be felt. Regional council Thursâ€" day approved its 1978 budâ€" get which will add an averâ€" age of $3.40 onto a property tax bill of $500. K Local â€" taxpayers â€" share of the $47.1 million budget is $20.2 million, 7.3 per cent higher than last year. But 3.5 per cent is covered by increased assessment leavâ€" ing a 3.8 per cent net tax increase. The Region missed its goal of limiting the tax inâ€" crease to the rise in assessâ€" ment which would have meant no increase in taxes. The prime factor is a 12.7 per cent rise in local taxes for the police force. Police costs will climb to $14.1 million, about $1.5 million more than last year. Though the Region pays the vast majority of policâ€" ing costs, the force is adminâ€" istered by a separate comâ€" mission. The Region had better success in limiting the costs for services it directly adâ€" ministers â€" such as engiâ€" neering. planning _ and health and social services Local taxes to support those services will rise only 3.3 per cent The total expenditures are welâ€" there: He‘l also be talkâ€" fr“(refluatermh it that part of Canada.

The increase was entirely due to higher road and welfare costs. The cost for the remainder of the services administerâ€" ed directly by the Region rose only .5 per cent. In entirety, the Region will spend $47.1 million this year, compared to $43.3 milâ€" lion in 1977. That includes costs for direct Regional services and for services partially paid for, but not administered, by the Region. They are police, the Grand River Conservation Authorâ€" ity, the Children‘s Aid Society, _ the. Waterlooâ€" Wellington _ Airport _ and the newly formed social reâ€" sources council. Though costs have climbâ€" ed at a higher percentage than the rise in local taxes. revenues such as provinâ€" cial subsidies have also increased. The Region also used a surplus of nearly $1 million at the end of 1977 to help cushion the impact. The _ Region _ generally takes about 18 per cent of a property owners tax bill. The rest is assumed by the local municipality and the school boards. Feeling tired? Rundow.n?
