in edmonton the fire truck would have quite a objecting to debenturing a 3006 expenditure for storjn sewer which win ruin on john street e- tweea college nd victoria jr era hyde made a strong- plea ajt mondays council meeting to pay this front current revenue he won support from gr fred harrison but was overruled by other council lors who decided to ask he on tario municipal improvement cor poration to buy the debenture a similar request will be made to omkto purchase an 11000 de benture for the swanek storm sewer r hyde was the lone op ponent when this was voted upon cr hyde emphasised that he was not against the projects hut that he feels the town is in a posi tion where if small improvements cannot be jpaid for currently they should not be added to a growing debenture debt which will cost the town half as much again to pay back large expenditures are coming in future for such things as schools he said and minor things should be carried currently if this is impossible such improvements will just have to waitthe said a town e continued must operate like an individual it is good bus iness to buy a certain number of things on credit but earning pow er or in a towns case tax reven ue is limited if too much inter est is being paid there is not en ough money left for living expen ses mayor armstrong disagreed say ing he does not believe in taxing present ratepayers for improve ments which will be shared by fu ture ones there are many small items which collectively amount to a lot of money and he feels de benturing is a fair way of allocat ing payments over a period of years our whole economy is geared to credit baying was reeve stan allens opinion and while i can agree in principle with mr hydes statement the ratepayers weald un certain iniaii jii me said and council is expected to find the money somewhere to pay for them he too feels it is unjust to charge todays ratepayers for future improvements cr hyde said the town is not fol lowing the advice of bankers bond corporation which at present is the towns fiscal agent that com pany has warned that debenture debt must not be increased he said time negotiating a steep bill into the grounds if necessary he point ed out a hard surfaced drive way seems to be the only answer he said warm next winter i at three odocrfaj utftuegi ebiflpeh uaotajtqao ririe f twunurwk0 j cyntfl 5 heath

to all requests but we are being twofaced if we do so know ing we cant afford to spend the money the reeve pointed out that main tenance must be considered in the picture too if a road is not repai red there is a yearly maintenance cost road chairman walter gray agreed pointing out that some times maintenance costs over a few years can be mere than the capital expenditure necessary the discussion entered the field of higher economics when cr hyde compared the towns situa tion to someone with an old car who cant afford a new one and might even spend more on upkeep than the car is worth because he could not foot the bill tor a new one when an old cars steering gear endangers the public its time to get a new one countered the may or in this case poor drainage is damaging private property and it must be fixed cr hyde had a further objection to the swanek sewers when he pointed out that unless the subdiv ision is paved and curbed the sew ers will plug up storm sewers may not be the complete answer but at least it will take swanek off our agenda for a few months was cr garfield bicgilvrays tongue-in- cheek opinion as the discussion en ded visit local girls spending the holi
