15 Mill Levy Set
By Village Comm.

After. a lengthy discussion,
the Castlegar Village Council ap-
proved a 15 mill levy for general
purposes for’ 1959. Commission-

‘ler Maddocks, strongly ‘opposed’

this move, hits view, being that

| there was sufficient surplus rev-

500,000. He! felt that with some

enue ‘ta! absorb * any necessary

proposed budget presented at the

+ Hent.: Mr.’ Maddocks was also con-

cerned that $14,000: allocated for

revenue should designated for
water purposes which he felt
should be financed by water fe-
venue,

Chairman " Oglow . disagreed
with Commissioner Maddocks’
views, stating that he felt that
a surplus should be carried ‘over
at the year end. inorder to fake
care of outstanding lablilities. He
contended that 'the budget was
close to the ~line and: could be

.| revised at a later date;.that any
tax reduction which then became

possible could be applied’ next
year.
