dills production manager james a dills john black associate editors b m editorial office ph mm acton credit or censure rather interesting was the discussion carried on last week at council meeting of who or what deserved the credit for a reduction of nine mills in actons tax rate last year when fhe rate went up 1 1 mills osi the previous year no one ap- peared to assume the credit for the change in fact the positioh of a member pf council was not in enviable one- we heard from no group or any individual who wanted to take credit but of course members of council were expected to give all the explanations and assume all the blame end they did it with good grace as we recall looking on from the outside we could give a lengthy review ofthe factors whtdi make a high or low tax rate but it would be just as involved as that old argument ofwhtch came first the hen or the egg if might be just as well to say how ever that if council gets the blame for raising the tax rate they might in all fairness get credit for rry reduction actually it is public demand for municipal expenditure and services and rising ccsts divided over the number of taxpayers which govern the tax amount levied each year incidentally we might point out that next year there is every likelihood that there should be a further drop in the mill rate in acton but it does not necessarily follow that there will be a de crease in the amount of tax money required to carry on municipal services in line with the equalised assessment of the county acton is due for an increased assessment on its entire assess able properties but no council can go on providing more moneyfor educational purposes better services find needed improvements with higher costs on ess tax money tax monies are not in the field of the magician but sometimes the quickness of thve hand or tongue may confuse the audience the biggest the smallest the biggest business in the united states is small business says the cincinnati inquirer

industries these clays and the recant experience of dot ham is a story that points up the tact that new industries are rather elusive an friojlish firm planned to open a factoiy to make airplane parts in durham materials had been ci dered f or a new building and stationery had been secured giving durham as the address of the firm machines for the plant were on order from england and the united states s and then let us quote from the durham chronicle the sad story of the one that gotawayr last friday afternoon mr martin and mr holt who were staying at the seaway hotel in toronto went out for a drive on highway 401 they stopped at a restaurant another person in the restaurant heard their english accent and join ed them when they spoke of worries about de- livery date the stranger invited them to a factory that was vacant in collingwood the plant was inspected it was exactly what they wanted saturday morning they signed the papers and bought it and then telephoned the news to call off all operations at durham that evening a group from durham met mr martin and aar holt and all had dinner together in the seaway dining room the four from durham didnt have much appetite and sparred with knife and fork trying to salvage something out of the deal mr martin mnd mr holt werent exactly happy about the meeting they didnt order anything to eat just sat for an hour drinking tea spare
