the newspaper men were from nova scotia alberta and ontario we heard briefly from the heads of the canadian chamber of commerce and last but by no means least were treated to an address by hon letter

definitely since keeping municipal services up to the demand is a very necessary part of municipal development you pay anyway the budget brought down by the pro- v ncial government last week was a very fine illustration of give and ake for the people of ontario there is an illusion in the minds of many electors that governments can hand out grants and give assistance to many bodies and numerous appeals and still hold the line on tawevies the only source of government funds is from las at ion of the people the surpluses that have been reported for several years have apparently reached the bottom it ts estimated the new revenue will amount to about 18 per head of ontario population on the give side more assistance will be given municipalities school boards and other local agencies which
