i j lauds mayor for keeping stable rate town taxes by john w fisher centennial commissioner float tmdwmumat the good uoa and the affect the ceauqnw celebra tion are going ta have on cim hie centennial is coming just at the right time i time when nun canadian are be- ins to feel they have too loaf been mbjeciad to the cry tag of the beef era the winners ndf the jcacekett r you know thaldna i mean the ones do nothing but wring their bangs sod nredlct that the cmtry t sbnv to apart it the provincial seams that alas there is naught to do but woefully sit and watch the dis integration who bees been tbe fdea of canada dialnteg grating i imagine wis merely a novelty of the mind thought up by thettoonmrters as a pub licity aid bat to use the langu age of the television age it has been overexposed it has exhausted in the public petals and along the public aocnd waves to the point where saost canadians are yawning i thlnkfcrt all eager and ready for a refreshing change we want to consider the bright future for canada which know down deep to be prob able as well as possible during 1967 we will hear and see plenty about the kind of canada we picture for the future just as an example consider second century week a gathering of 1 100 stu dents from all across canada on the two campuses of the un rrertity of alberta and the university of calgary next march grants from the alber in thi mail ia theme of their second century week gath ering is that the centennial is a bridge to the future a lot ure involving opportunities so great that they are bound to overshadow the temporarily un solved problems of canada throughout 1987 events and words also will help refresh the original dream of a great can which the fathers of con federation startedsjp the way to reality when they met prince edward island 100 years ago for example more books poems essays and plays on the story of canada are being pub lished than at any other time in the country s history we estimate that several hundreds will find a place on the canad lana shelves more than 100 are being produced with the help of centennial commission grants alone in addition com mercial publishers churches and other institutions are bring ing out many more during centennial through books and plays the glamour the drama and the ex atement in th story of cana da so often missing in history books and so long neglected by the maojrity of publishers will be challenging the whole of our country to show it can live up to its potential great ness in the 20th century i believe the centennial cele orations will be for canada what a good spring cleaning does for a house that s been too long closed up for the winter months the year 1967 will be a time for a new fresh outlook s time ta and federal governments are when we open the doors and assisting the universities in windows of our minds let in the tills centennial year project fresh air and clean out the cob it is the students in our society webs a country with such a who often spark the action nee i potential has no place for cob essary to put new ideas in mo webs forecasts steady decline in farm labour supply the disturbing decline in futura planning the number of productive fax j men in ontario will continue during tk next few years i this wa the opinion of gordon bennett assistant puty minister of agriculture for ontario when he addressed helton federation of agncult ures annual banquet tuesday december 6 he advised fannes to put their heads together to work out a long range plan for the future farmers also have to try to get a large enough segment of the population interested in such a program questioned about the pos sible future of faming in ont it is ty disturbing to us ttict the minister replied it inagneaw to tealizc the bto good because people mumber0f very productive far d d w t0 nave men gotag out of business he ll i but certainly there will be some terrific changes just as there will be in many other seg ments of our life mr bennett said the farmers had to condit on themselves for such change and increase their education 31 byron street december 10th 1d68 dear mr editor georgetown s 1967 council could ho the verv best in its history bicausi we elected to the manralty a man really sincere in hit et forts to benefit the hard prcs sed taxpayers bv holding the mill rate the effects of this in our getting more industry to locate will be invaluable there are still two many on council whose money must come to them very easily if wo can judge by their willingness to spend he taxpayers money next year may be the first in over ten years that we may be able to look at a balance sheet for the town which will show a real satisfactory surplus it would be nice to have some of our past indebtedness paid off as well and otkyithout having someone breathing down our necks for our last last dollar due to overspending hemcmber 1958 when we had a 13 mill tax increase we hope we elected a coun cil capable of enforcing our by laws especially in regard to the stink nuisance i talk is cheap wc have a by i lavrpiat has been in the books since 1957 and it has never been acted upon in this regard we must have in council men who will bring equality to all in regard to sewage payment j rates three thousand 3 000 a month has been lost to the town since 1962 due to juggling i sewage payments to suit cer tain industries some of whose employees were then on coun cil this is equal to over 2 mills on the tax rates 1 no more puss footing on this issue let us see act on to remedy this loss in 1967 i would remind the readers that as of december 31st 1966 we are still comm tted to a de benture debt of nearly two mil lion dollars which represents annual principal instalments of nearly 200 000 and interest of 113 622 93 for a total of 300 535 37 each year the consideration of these figures should hac a sobering effect on those who would spend the taxpayers money not merely as though monev was going out of style but that it was a curse to have it as a sur plus against future needs present services and commit ment for the lutura ooea such as the new mountaiavlew bead bridge more storm sewers bet cr roads curbs and gutters our police must be provided with better quarters this next year and a salary and schedule for all employees ol the corporation must be dealt with thank you mr editor for use of
