The timing of some gas tax money couldn’t be better for Elliot Lake. The municipality is getting $127,000 and that’s made the purchase of third bus for the community a lot easier. Council has just approved the 24-seat vehicle which will cost $208,000. The total amount includes tax, delivery charges and the cost to retrofit the bus to meet Elliot Lake’s needs. This year’s allocation is $7,000 more than last year because of increased ridership.
