paoc two the acton free press acton ontario thursday june 131h 1952 read all about it i this week the 1951 auditors report for acton became available to ratepayers its a book of over 40 pages and mighty interesting for those who want the facts about their townsomotimes there is a lor of loose talkabout town affairs that is not beneficial to tho town and repoating it often gos it stamped as aulhontic well tho facts arc available to any ratepayers who will go to tho municipal office and just ask for a copy the number printed is limited so dont send junior for your report but get it yourself wo could go over it and analyze it with some interest becauso it tells all about your money spent in municipal governments in the utilities commission school boards library board ceme tery board planning board and citizens band you can get the figures straight in the copy of acton auditors report and not depend on rumor sowsral years ago tho list of those in arrears for taxes was published in tho report but that is not the custom now if is rather interesting to note that last year there was 328403 in taxes receivable of this amount 297132 was for the year 1951 and 260 was owing from 1950 with small amounts from the two years previous penalties and interest on overdue amounts were 15221 we mus cease if you want to read all about i go your copy of tho auditors report for 1951 at the municipal office they are available with out cost and its your business statement the cars that stop there was a day when a municipality would hold an indignation meeting and voice strong protest if a highway was constructed that did not pass right through the centre of the town but that was the day when automobiles and trucks were not so common recently we learned that brampton council has requested the department cf highways to reroute no 7 to bypass the town and help relieve the congested traffic conditions it is stated that hon george doucett has told tte brampton conservator that bypassing buit- lp areas s tne coming thing the department of h 5sas a tide has been to divert traffic away fc cs ard ci es wherever possible with a c ee gsav drcecls sere making a ct

down the main see a bpass around trie business district was tcosed by a 17 per cent increase in the areas income even parking meter receipts increased two per cent the lesson is that it is not the number of cars that go by but the number that stop that provide business and if they cant stop or have no place to park business disappears clean up streets too in this spring cleanup and beautification business we should not overlook municipal pro perty sas the financial post one of the worst offenders in untidiness is often the town govern ment private citizens plant trees and flowers paint fences andtrim their grass only to have the th whole effect spoiled by litter an streets and boulevard or in some vacant lot next door weeds grow high and rank on municipal owned proper ty of on property over which the town van exer cise control garbage collectors leave a trail of papers boxes and garbage pail lids behind them beautiful shade trees sometimes whole streets cf them are slaughtered without consideration there is little hope of making an town or city reall ittractiso unless the municipal authorities do their share village or fighting town after being wall over tho required population figure for several years fergus has decided to east off the village status and become a town ust as acton did throe years ago and editor hugh templin discusses tho matter in tho fergus news- record after 97 years as a village ii may soom quite an important slop to lake and from a local standpoint free press roadors will bo in terested in tho viewpoint that is given by a resi dent of acton the other side of the nruument was ndvonccd to us privately one nljlht last week by a lady who liver n acton acton became n town recently with well over the required 2000 population the lady said she had seen that feruuri was to become a town wod probably regret she said many acton people did it seemed to be the size of the council that made the difference acton used to be a peaceful place when it was n villaue now there uas scrapping and fighting oil tho time she said and the tax rate was uoinit way up wei never like to challenge the viewpoint of a lody or express a contrary stand but wo feel that fergus should not be deterred from this important step by one opinion and porhaps ours wight be nob coidhnm of ceorisctown nrd added to tho bewildorment he detroit hod wines nn

have seemed better it dir had nred 17 eui blissful ignorance among the things recently developed but hich ve navent yet seen on the market is a new tpe 01 garbage can designed to keep animals cut it is made of hard black rubber with a lid tt at is screvcd on 10 that odors stay in ancl ani mals stay out we have no information on cost orrjv how permanent the type of lid will remain after usage we udge that if the price is reasonable how ever many folks will be willing to give the rjew can a trial it just seems hopeless to keep the dogs tied up and instinct seems to guide them to the garbage pails no matter how well ihey are fed at home its quite annoying to residents and those who collect garbage to find the cans upset and the litter all over the street or premises we have tried putting a shovel or some other heavy article on top and the noise of it falling usually scares the visitor away from that trip trouble is that such a racket usually awakens the whole household also and we dont know whether the dogs or the residents get the worst of the deal some day some one will go along with a simple garbage can that will fool the dogs and stand bouncing around after it has been emptied or bounce back into shape again after it has been collapsed in the meantime the dogs are having the best of the argument in spite of all the laws that can be passed we enoy the blissful ance
