the acton frfe press acton ontario some strokes to cut american insulation ignorance of canada r the answers last week there ws published and made available to all ratepayers of acton copies of the auditors report on the finances of our town we admit that figures are sometimes confusing and difficult to grasp but we do think that anyone who spends a couple of hours studying the financ es of his or her town would be a better and more understanding citizen of the community in these days of easy financing of everything from the kitchen cupboard to the automobile or television set it may not be interesting for folks to learn how much money they owe as ratepayers of acton or how many years it will take to pay it but such information might be helpful to under landing why councils and boards cannot give all the improvements we may seek if ou are not interested in such figures the folks who lend the funds are and they stud aud tors reports very thoroughly how much does education cost how much does police and fire protect on cost what ser vices you get for your tax dollar and how little council has jursdction over ma surpr se ou in the answers whch turn up m vour auditors re port municipal elections are not far distant if you want answers to our municipal affairs the audi tor s report is a good start we have read it and we found it ver satisfy ng maybe you will dis agree bu g

we wonder what would have happened if they had the restrictions of today added to their difficulties when those early pioneers found a grist or saw mill necessary no permission was needed to flood a section of land to get the water power necesmry when the settler wanted to build a shelter for his family and stock there were no building re strictions when the need for a school house or church arose there were no entanglements except a willingness to labor in its construction and the joy of service to hts fellowman certainly mistakes were made but the fact re mams that upon those mistakes the land was set tied and the country grew we are making a strenuous effort today to profit from those errors of other years we are still making errors we sometimes wonder however if in our eagerness and smugness of perfection planning we are not stifling the incentive of our people to get things done starting in business 15 years ago was not a big detailed problem governing a town 15 years ago allowed something for the elected officers to work out without much consultation with a higher government source and fees at every turn even owning a home was a simple transaction between you and the holder of the mortgage it is admitted that with all our planning mis takes today are ust as numerous as the ones we attempt to rectify of earlier years the question is are we hindering our progress tn our present restrictive measures in every field of endeavor too often we find a lack of men willing to run for municipal office because they feel they are merely a rubber stamp for some higher authority very often we find a man discouraged from starting a small industry of his own because he has so many demands in legal requirements tax commitments and demands of labor and other groups we are not condemning any measures for im provement but we wonder if we are not strang ng that urge the early pioneers had when they came to this country we sometimes wonder if there is not a surplus of

town and country incidentally over 800 people filled in coupons with their name and address and paused ct our exhibit whats the use of worrying when good hardwood was the favorite fuel for heating our homes there was much concern over the diminishing supply later when coal was found more satisfactory to drrve the chill from canad an winters it was a favorite topic of stabs t cians to estimate how many years would elapse before our supply of coal was exhausted these two topics are not subects for discussion any longer the noise of coal rattling down the chutes and f ming the bins is not so common in the homes we are talking in terms of new fuel supplies the oil trucks now call at the homes day or night lo replen sh the fuej supply the supply is not de pendent on rail and truck or water routes but comes by pipe from its distant sources another pipe line will soon bring natural gas from the f elds afar to the markets we don t think in terms of steam power to drive our machines but have been using electric power in greater quantity for years we do hope no one starts worrying too much ut our present fare they are exhausted man s ingenuity will have found better ways of coping
