Assessments Cause Debenture Problems COBOURG -- A number of re- quests are in from district col- legiate boards for counties coun- cil approval of debenture issues covering Extentions bo hols in Cobourg, ort Hope and Bowman- ville. One difficulty facing both the municipalities involved and the boards is the flexible nature of the equalized assessments on which proportionate payments are made. The boards are asking the coun- ties of Northumberland and Dur- ham to issue the debentures, but the actual outlay of money will be made by the municipalities par- ticipating in the high school dis- tricts. Port Hope plans a deben- ture issue of $610,000; Bowman- ville $430,000 and Cobourg district collegiate $175,000. Reve Nichols of Darling- ton township raised the point counties cduncil of how any fixed percentage could be agreed to when the amount was based, by the act, on the prevailing equal- ized assessment. Some municipal- ities, Cobourg for instance, has rad a new assessment in operation for some time the counties-wide re-as- sessment would not be completed for some years yet and the deben- tures would be spread out on a 20-year basis. OVERCROWDING A deputation from the Cobourg district collegiate board pointed out to counties council that an eight-room addition was needed as the present accommodation was designed only for 340 but 540 were crowded into it and aoyer-flowed into accommodation sectired in a building next door. The participat- ing municipalities, Haldimand, Hamilton and Alnwick townships and the town of Cobourg had agreed on the amounts for which each would be responsible. A. R, Willmott, one of the board members, emphasized that it was necessary that council declare it- self at this session as to whether SALLY'S SALLIES 953, King Features Syndicate, Int , World rights "1 really think the rising cost of living accounts for these wel- .iruction, eome-ons!" Hospital Fund Canvass Starts AJAX (Times-Gazette Staff Re- porter)--Briefing meetings over, volunteer canvassers will be con- ducting a door to door canvas of Ajax and district starting this week. ' Well over 100 canvassers have of- fered to work in Ajax, and en- thusiasm is running high. Meanwhile the industrial can- i vass is proceeding. This canvass is {two - pronged, not only will the owners of industry be approached. Meetings are being held in the fac- tories to tell the employees of the urgent need for funds to open the hospital. Special speakers will address the employees on the job. The Times - Gazette will publish the returns from time to time as the campaign progresses. Jews Flock To Adolf's Home | MUNICH (AP) -- This Bavarian city, a chief centre of anti-Semit- ism in the Hitler era, today is an unwilling haven for hundreds of Jews. In little more than a year, al- most 1,000 East European Jews have come here from Israel--dis- satisfied with life in what hey once regarded as the Promi Land. op They hope Munich is only a temporary stopover on the way to North or South America. _ The refugees, most of them Po- lish-born, say they were unable to fit in with Israel's present.day '"'pioneer conditions." or not it would approve the de- bentures, as early action was ne- cessary in order to architects' plans and department approval. H. R. S. Ryan, Port Hope, speak- ing on behalf of the Durham dis- trict high school, said that it was planned to build a new school at Port Hope and an addition at Bow- manville. The municipalities con- cerned had been contacted and had given their consent. Mr. Ryan said that the new as- sessment would not. enter into the picture until 1957. Just what var- iation would occur with the change of the equalized assessment was something which could not be es- tablished ahead of time, he said. Mr. Willmott pointed out that actual extent of the effect of the Act was not known at the time the various municipalities in the Cobourg district collegiate were approached and the percentages agreed upon had been the result of negotiations undertaken: in all innocence, although, in effect, it was somewhat misleading. The amounts paid would be bound to vary in accordance with the flexible assessment from year to year until the enire counties re-assessment had been completed. There would have to be, and he expected that it would be given freely, a certain amount of give- and-take in the apportionment of the share borne by each of the municipalities. Reeves Charlie Burrison of Ham- ilton township asked if his town- ship could, should they desire, pay their portion right away, which amounts to $25,000. Y "I see no reason why you couldn't. You must expect that it would turn out to be a better bargain handling it that way," re- plied Mr. Willmott with a smile. The finanace committee will re- port on the request of the high school districts at the close of the | session. TO PAVE ROAD Council approved the recom- mendation of the road commission that the Hampton-Kirby road be taken over by the province as a development road. Two years after it reverts to the counties, it is to be paved, as is the custom under such arrangements. The road is about eight miles long and it will cost $40,000 to pave it. But it was pointed out that it will be cheaper in the long run than keeping it maintained without it being paved. Council passed a resolution ap- proving Warden J. H. Lowery's recent letters to county papers re- plying to editorials which had criticized the council because it had failed to increase salaries and thereby lost two counties officials. Road Superintendent, G. L. Tot- ten came in for some praise from the Department Engineer, E. F. Marsten, and from the warden. The "report on road expenditure {to the end of October showed that {the total spent on maintenance was $158,927.69 and on construction $103,188.57. Total spent for con- maintenance and other items was $368,569.66. Total for was $287,268.46. 4Carruthers and Albert Darch will Election For Council Only BOWMANVILLE -- All of the eight council nominees have quali- fied.

Four Games In Minor Hockey BOWMANVILLE -- In the fegu- lar Saturday morning minor hoc- key, the Bantam Comets scored a 2 to 0 decision arainst the Lion's Cubs.

If you refuse to pas-~© the bylaw on, you still have to pay. If you have the bylaw you can charge the builder." "Anway, it applies so far only to certain designated areas, which are built-up areas. It does not apply to a rural area," said Dep- uty-Reeve Gray. Reeve Roy Nichols, of Darling- ton township, said that up his way in new housing areas there were all kinds of septic tanks going in and some of them were no g and the cause of complaints to peo- ple living next door. It was a good thing to have such a bylaw in built- | up areas, he said. i Reeve Rickard, of Newcastle, favored a show of disapproval of the regulations and moved that council ask the provincial govern- | ment to abolish it. It was ded by Reeve Burrison and carried AR ASSESSOR Garnet Shields, counties asses- | sessor, addressed council on the re- assessment. He said that ome of the grading being done by munici- pal assessors was not consistent | and did not give a fair equqliza- tion. He said he would like to have all the assessors come to Cobourg and go over the basic rates. He | declared that he valued the opin- | ions of assessors but there needed | to be a more unified plan of assess- ing. Industrial assessment were another thing that needed study and he was not satisfied with the valuations of depreciation. Leslie Wilson, Cobourg, member of the court of revision: for the counties, said that caly half the assessment had been completed and some of it would have to be done over. Some of the assessors didn't realize the extent of their duties and it would be a good idea for municipalities to pay their as- sessor enough money to make it worth his while to, put more time on it. APPOINTMENTS MADE The following appointments were made to high school district board Cartwright township, Wilson; East Northumberland; Andrew Kemp; Peterborough Suburban Fred McAdoo; Cobourg, Harry Deyman; Durham, L. H. Winslow. Warden J. H. Lowery was pre- sented with a wrist watch at the annual warden's banquet, which was attended by some of the ex- wardens, members of counties council and their wives, and other guests. The retiring warden was lauded by members of the coun- ties council for the dignity he had shown in carrying out his office.

And now comes the great lift to his spirits: He Twenty minutes ago, the man you see in this picture came out of a long and harassing conference--tired, tense and with a bit of a headache. And he said to himself --*"I'll take the long way home tonight, and drive out by the waterfront, and let the Cadillac relax me!" ~ And that's just what he's doing. If you own a 1953 Cadillac, you know exactly _ what's taking place. But if you don't--let's see what happens as he climbs into the driver's seat and lets his wonderful car begin its magic. It's relaxing just to sit there--and look out over that long, beautiful hood into the beckoning distance, The seat cushions hold him in buoyant comfort; the slender wheel fits naturally into his hands; great areas of glass surround him and let each glance reveal a panorama. And, of course, he's proud and happy--for it's an endless satisfaction to own and command such a respected possession. CAD-853A touches the key, and hears that deep-throated response so characteristic of a Cadillac engine--and, in an instant, he's off for a wonderful, wonderful hour! Steering is no more than a gesture . . . the lightest touch on the throttle gets immediate action--smooth, quick and positive . . . the brakes are easy and ~ certain under his foot. So he just sits back and rolls along--with the soft sound of the wind for a lullaby--and the beautiful view for a tonic--resting, relaxing, at peace with the world! His wife will never swspect, as he wheels into the Jriveway, that he was a tired and tense and weary husband just one short hour ago. That's one of the nicest things about a Cadillac. It's a proven therapeutic for a work-weary man! Try it, soon, at the end of a long, hard day. We'll furnish the car. You name the time and place.
