never appreciated mr pearson in the prime ministers role we dont doubt hell- b accorded more respect in rotrotpoct but he gave the impression of being weak on issues which required a great deal of firmness the country is looking for someone to lead out of tho wilderness of separa tism provincialism and monetary con trol from abroad if the liberal cant find the man lo do it then theres no doubt

which grants can be collected on as high as 300000 the proposed library at the robert little school will cost approxi mately 50000 of which 90 per cent is eligible for grants this makes a total cost of 406425 a sum which is suro to bring some con sternation to taxpayers especially when added to the 487000 the addition to the sewage plant is expected to cost the figures add up pretty close to tho million dollar mark its easy to visualise what some ate payers especially those with fixed in comes are saying with some justifica tion taxes will soon be so high there wont be anyone able to afford them in spite of all this expansion how ever most of the town council is not unduly perturbed they dont expect any large increase m taxes as the clerkadministrator pointed out at the last meeting of council there arc several factors to be considered new houses also bring m more taxes we are also at the point where deben ture payments on the original sewage plant jnd it would be nice to be able to

or not the town sat on its fanny for many years content to bask in low taxes when expansion struck it created a sudden demand for services which had been overlooked partly as the result of the depression and fear of a repitition the best we can ask in this era of expansion is wise leadership a realiza tion on the part of elected representa tives there is a bottom to the tax bag the burden
