path of he aboittfriable snow man the good old days when down b up this yar the towns assessment has been dramatically increased unfortunately that increase has not been a result of an influx of new commercial industrial and residential buddings it has been quite simply a jug gling upward of the assessment figures on existing properties in this increase there is an inherent danger the increase has been largely achiev ed by raising assessments on commerce and industry now in the field of municipal finance we am inclined to udge the health of the economy on the basis of the mill rate if a town has a high mill rate taxes are high and a low mill rate indicates taxes are low however the value of a mill is determined by the towns assessment so increasing the assessment can achieve a low mill rate but that mill ratewtiipwifuce mortf rtovenuajfot the town s in acton last year the mill rate was 7478 on an assessment of 5 540237 thus a mill jast year was worth 5540 this year the mill will raise 6 850 on an estimated assessment of 6 850 000 unless the mill rate drops this year by several mrlls little will have been accomplish ed other than a juggling of figures and taxes on an individual igroperty will be increased in direct proportion to the increase in the assessment of the property photo by either tay however acton s last year s budget raised 417 433 this year that same amount could be raised by a mill rate of approxi mately 61 mills on the new assessment costs are bound to increase to a certain extent and the new mill rate may not get that low indeed the mill rate now seems to be only slightly controlled by council debentures and education costs the largest items m the budget ae figures over which the council has little control committees and boards making requests to council should however keep in mmd that the public purse is not bottomless coun cil should keep m mind too that a drop in the mill rate must be generally expected it will climb back again all too soon it is unfortunate that commerce and in dustry have had to bear the large share of the assessment increase this year besides that they must pay business tax of from 25 to 60 of their assessment beyond what the homeowner pays then for good measure they have to pay three or four mills more than the homeowner on the mill rate little wonder commerce and industry are so widely sought by ontario municipalities they are far less vocal in their demands for additional services than homeowners and far more liberal in sharing the tax burdenl a the towns mill rate will be eagerly awaited

condemning the use of force in the settlement of international disputes now however with trouble in the portuguese colony of goa the government of india used armed forces by land sea and air this confirms the view that expediency is decisive end that policy depends upon circumstances such a state of affairs is a serious obstacle both to disarmament and the reduction of armaments came el
