Pý Cut Borroiving I.That Debenture debt be care- fqýliy watched.-This is becoming à ý even more alarming feature crur municipal finances. It may W#11 be said that the debentures which have been issued were in each case necessary. That may ta a large extent be truc but I am still of opinion that a haît must be made ta this borrowing. Sewer By-Law Sewers and Disposai Plant.-- In this connection I adcated some relief insofar as the munici- pality is conceined. There willi be at the time of the forthcoming1 election a By-law before the eleet-1 ors for approval or rejection as ta the assumption of the Public Util- ities Commission of the Sewerage Systcm and Disposai Plant and 1 think that it should be appravcd. IVater Supply As you are axvane there must needs be. in the flot nemote future, steps taken ta obtain further watcr 1 suppl 'y foc the tawn. There has been some contnoversy as ta this, but no argument as ta the neces- sity. I have stated befone and do so again that on the best advicc and considenation I cao give the matter that the pnaposed elevated tank is necessary and that the logical source of supply for fur- ther water is Lake.Ontario. We trust that this project will be self-liquidating and in fact it should be seen ta that it is, whicb will almost certainly mean in- cceased water rates. Unîte Systems Therefore it seems ta me that now is the proper time ta inte- grate the whole watec - sewer- agce - and disposai systems in the town under' anc management. Plans caq thus be co-ordinated; cantnacts will be let by the anc authority ind the revenue pro- ducing part of'the systemn should be made ta support the non- KEEP INFORMED ,in what goes on in DURHAM COUNTY by reading THE CANVADIAN ITATESMAN Subseribe to-oday (CUT OUT THIS COUPON> NAME ___ __ ST. or R.R. - - POST OFFICE 1 Year $2,50 SUBSCRIPTION RATES - 6 Months $1.50 - in U.S.A. $3.00 Sisson's Garag WATCH THIS SPACE NEXT WEEK Sisson's Garage WILL OFFER Two (2) Nearly New j1949 Model Cars ai reverai Hundred Dollars Below List Plus a, Good Soleciion of USED CARS - ai Attractive Winter Prices THE CANADUAI STATESMAK, EOWMMANVtLL. ONTAR!O revenue producing part. There will beý arguments against the By-law. It will be said that costs of administration will be increascd. With this I do not agree. I arn satisfied that a system of efficient administration can be workcd out. It will be said that there may not be sufficient revenue ta support such system and that calîs for assistance will be made upon the town. In an- swer ta this I say firstly, that the system should be put on a paying basis and, secondly, we will at the warst be in no more dangerous position than at present since Maior L. C. Mason naw the municipality pays ail of the costs af the scwage and dis- posai systems. Better Roads Should the By-laxv be adopted the municipality under a campe- tent Roads Superintendent cao devote full attention ta the Roads and Streets of the town and 1 think you will agree that many of themn can stand attention. In sayîng this I cast no reflection on the Roads Supeintendent or the Roads and Streets Committee who have donc the best job pos- sible under the present set-up. Approacil ta Beach Looking avecrame aid files 1 noticed that in the eacly 30's wbeo I was first interested in munici- pal affairs it was being advocated by the thon Chamber of Com- merce that steps be taken with refenence ta access ta the West Beach. One hesitates ta bring this up so often but I do so ta tell you that hast year we dîd have the situation considened by engin- enrs who made certain tentative recommendations. The matter was nont presscd because there was fia provision in the estimates foc any expenditure in this respect. It isý my intention ta pucsue the mater funther and if feasible ta see that a proper road be had. More Tax Dollars The Chairmen of the variaus cammittees of Council will fia doubt wîsh to make thein own reports but speaking generally in clasing 1 canoanly point out again ttha aur difficulties are causcd by the fact that municipalities do not ceceive a fair shane of the taxation dollar. The systemn of grants in aid which bas gnown ùp in education, roads, police and elsewherc is only a makeshift and has praved a delusion an d a soace. Thene is a temptation ta speod marc until in the cçtd noth- ing is gained. A share of the gas- alIme or some other tax should go dinectly ta the municipalities. I do nat think that yau cao ex- peet a lower tax rate and I antici- pate a fucther slight increase in 1950 but I think that this will be the end. ENFIELD Mr. and Mcs. Frank Masan, Oshawa, aI H.
