Rowland explained it was not his intention to mislead anyone and that council's decision will determine where the mill rate goes. The following is Mayor Gordon Rowland’s remarks at the council meeting: “IT would firstly like to welcome the newly elected members to council. I’m sure throughout the coming year we may all at times have differences of opinion, but in my opinion that is what democratic govern- ment is all about.

On behalf of the citizens of ‘Terrace, I would like to express our appreciation to outgoing Aldermen, Gerald Duffus and Mary Little, who served three and two year terms respectively. Both these members gave to the community their greatest commodity — their time. I’m convinced that all their decisions were based on what they firmly believed was best for our community. Thanks again Gerry and office 1977 PROVISIONAL BUDGET This Provisional Budget has been prepared to the best of the information available at this time. The impact of increased taxation on the economy of the district has been given serious consideration by the 1976 council; therefore the budget contains provisions for a basic operation only, with no increase in the municipal mill rate. In many instances, the 1977 estimates are identical to the 1976 estimates, not because we feel the costs will not change, but that we have no betler information to go by, for example, apparent that increased revenues will be required to. maintain our present level of service in 1977. These increased revenues can only come from taxation in- crease , increases in the ’ eost of services or increases from the in grants government. provincial Should no increases in revenue be forthcoming or feasible, the 1977 council must then reduce the level of service to the communily accordingly.
