THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, 'THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1940 La PAGE FIV WHITBY MAYOR SEEKS RE-ELECTION Other Councillors Silent On Their Intentions Whitby, Ontario, December 18.-- The curtain was rung down on the activities of Whitby Town Council for the year 1940 at the final meet- ing on Monday evening at which only routine business, and very little of it, came before the civic fathers. If there was any sadness of fare- well as the Councillors face the possibility of embarkation on an- other municipal voyage, it was not in evidence, and the only declared "intention" for 1940 came from His Worship, Mayor Rowe, who an- nounced that he would seek a fourth term. : After the business for the session had been cleared away, Mayor Rowe expressed appreciation of the warm support and co-operation he had re- ceived from his colleagues, declaring that a very successful year of the municipality was drawing to a close The mayor said that every member had given close attention to the town business and that each com- mittee had endeavored to keep with- in the estimates set out at the end of the year. "I hope," said His Worship, that every member of this council will be returned to office next year. Reeve A. Mansell Irwin and Deputy Reeve Frank Threadgold had kind words for the Mayor, ref- erring to his able leadership, not uring the year just closing, but during nis occupancy of the Chief Magistrate's chair. Neither the Reeve or Deputy Reeve gave in- dication of what they are likely to do in the matter of seeking muni- |= cipal honors for the next two years Appreciation of the lovalty and good work of every member of the civic staff was also expressed by | Mayor Rowe and members of Coun- | cil. WHITBY GOUNGIL CLOSES YEAR WITH SMALL SURPLUS Close Financing is Attributed to Cash Balance | sioner Whitby, Ontario, Dacember 18.-- The Town of Whitby will close its financial year with a small sur- plus, it was reported to the Town Council on Monday evening by Town Treasurer, John R. Frost, | when he presented his statutory financial statement, showing the receipts and expenditures up to and ' including December 15th. The town began the year, 1t| might be said, with a deficit of $1,250, representing half a mill cut from the provincial subsidy by Premier Hepburn after the rate had | been struck and after it had been | budgeted for. This amount had to] be taken care of and the only way | to do it was to cut expenditures. { Patriotic Levy The town's share of the levy | made by the County of Oshawa for | patriotic purposes was about $1,200, and while it received back nearly $1,700 this amount did not enrich the treasury as it was distributed | among local patriotic organizations | --the Red Cross, 1.0.D.E., War Ef- | fort Committee, Canadian Legion, and Salvation Army. Debenture Debt Reduced The debenture debt of the town | by the end of the year will have been farther reduced by $48,000. The debt today stands at $306,736. At one time it was $670,000. There have been fio additions but sub- stantial redygtions in the past ten years. The conch for some years past had not figured on very much rev- enue from the Police Department, bu is year the treasurer had re- ce a thousand dollars in fines, thanks to the good work of Chief Constable Elliott and his men. Estimates Maintained All committees kept well within their estimates, the relief commit- tee being a Mttle out for the reason already explained.

Toronto | City Council for such a revision. Recently Assessment Commis- such a revision Was "long overdue," and that millions of dollars worth | in Toronto, now ex- ed. "We're prepared to listen to and consider any representations if | those making the representations | are definite and specific," the Pre- | mier declared. "We don't want to | talk in eralities. Let them say | what is theik minds." } As to exemp@0h of Ontario Gov- | ernment property, the Premier re- plied that his 'administration was | paying a business tax on its pro- | perty, and- if doing this had done more' than any other admires) tion. Taxation of school properties, of | course, Mr. Hepburn observed, was not advisable. "What purpose would be served?" | he queried. "It would be only taking | | | it out of one pocket and putting it | in another. And as for taxation of | church properties, IT don't think anyone would advocate that on lands or buildings used for church purposes. Nor would any useful | purpose be served." The Premier felt that those mak- | ing representations for a revision | of the act must state specific cases | where they feel municipal taxation should be levied. MAKES PLEA FOR THE SUPPORT 0 MISSION WORK o We Owe Debt to Pion- eers of the Faith, Whitby Church Is Told WHITBY, Ont, December 18.-- Because Paul was obedient to the call to go.to Macedonia which took '| the Christian gospel to Europe, our forefathers in Britain received the gospel, Rev. Harold, Reid, of Knox Presbyterian Churéli, Oshawa, told the congregation" of St. Andrew's Whitby, on Sunday morning. The gospel preached in. Efirope became the foundation stone. of.

Had Paul to go to Macedonia, thereby taking the gos- pel to Europe, bub 'continued east as he had intended, the 'whole his- tory of Europe 'might: have been changed from the" standpoint of Christian enlightenment." "We are being false to Christ if we say, let us make Canada Chris- tifi-first before we send money to foreign missions," said Rev, Mr. 'Reid, adding thaf'We are also un- worthy of and tfigrateful to the people of Scotland 'who kent mis- slonaries and money to Canada when our forefathers were unable to support churches which in their zeal and faith they wished td have established. Rev. Mr, Reid warned that in our | can George Farley insisted that | w enthusiasm to raise money to pro- secute the war there was a grave danger that the cause of Christ at home and abroad might suffer the lack of financial support, "If we raise millions for war why! we raise sufficient to carry | on the Lord's work?" asked Mr Reid, stressing the fact that the Christian Chuygeh was constantly at ar against evli--a war which must | be waged by Christian- people until victory is assured. .
