District pegs budget

Taxes in the District of
North Vancouver are going
to remain static for the third
year in a row.

Alderman Peter Powell
told District council Monday
because of “strict limitations
imposed last year by the
province” the District ran up
a surplus of $1.4 million.

Mayor Don Bell said the
mill rate dropped by nine or
10 per cent to its present
5.136 size. The provincial
assessment rate, however,
rose by 10 per cent.

Bell said council has
decided to replenish its fire
fighting staff to a full four
man crew instead of the
currently cutback three-man
teams.

The approved 1980 total
budget of $44.1 milhon

shows increased police
expenditures of $263,514,
from $2,049,988 to
$2,313,500, a _ raise of
$263,514, said Powell.

Other major increases
include a 26 per cent hike in
the library system from
$574,620 to $724,400.

Powell attributed the
steadiness of property taxes
to the municipal staff.
