tbe following petition be sent to tbe prime minister and mem bers- of the legislature of the province of ontario wheroas the roman catholic bishops of ontario have made re presentations to the government of the provmoo that the assess meat act ebould be amended so as to divide the school taxes paid by incorporated companies be tween the public and separate schools on tbe basis of population whereas the granting of such demands would compel protestant tax payers to contribute to the roman catholic separate schools and thereby pay for the teaching of the roman catbolio religion whereas such a division of school taxes as proposed by the bom an gatholio bishops would de pnve the public non sectarian school system of a large portion of its legitimate and necessary reven nea thereby seriously impairing the efficiency of the public school system and whereas under the existing act ail the school taxes that can be shown to be derived from taxable property id the possession of rom catholioa now go to the sup port of the roman catholic separ ate schools and whereas there ib a strong agita tion by the roman catholioa for separate high schools and colleg late institutes we the members of the county orange lodge of haltoo do here by register our strong protest and determined opposition to any such effort and we strongly protest against any change being made in jbhe school assessment aot as re lating to public and separate sohools jas mcdowell c master w c brooketteo sec local council ol women the local counotl of women will meet in tbe merchants bank rest room on

everybody of which there was sixty present left for home in the wee small hours of tbe morning having spent a most enjoyable evening to the major reeve and ooun cillors gbntutukn allow li i u chief of tbe georgetown firo rri gade to submit to you my report for tbe year ending december til 1981 we have been most fortunate f during tbe year just ended in not having any serious fire losses more so than moat places the size of georgetown and it is only with the cooperation of all the citizens that we can keep our qra losses down by being careful at all times where we throw our lighted matches cigar and cigarette butts where we dump our not ashes and how we leave- pur flrta and furna ces when going away let me giv ynuqnojdatancp of downright carelessness which 1 found when i went into a ceitain busmeaa place right in the oentre of our main street stores the tenant having been either too lasy or indifferent had dumped all their coal ashes in one of the roomb on tbe second floor and when i went to see about it there was easily from 18 to 80 inches deep of ashes tn the room and they had had to scrape them back befbrethey ooold get their stove door open now in this business blook there are five different lines of business carried on and you can easily see what a risk the rest of the tenants were placed in on ac count of the carelessness of this one tenant we cannot be too careful and i hope that for tbe welfare of our town that although yon have all been careful ttyaud more so for 1988 we have twenty eight members in good standing and our regular meetings are held in tbe council mber on the first thursday of each month to which we extend to you a hearty invitation to come and see us if you have any eng gestiou that you think will be of benefit to us we will be very pleased to have you come and talk them over with us during the months of april to september in elusive we bavaour practices on the first and third thursday of each of these months there were eight fires in the town during the year and we were called to two fires outside the corporation namely mr deoison a and mr h bessey s the fires in town were h gartley geo near drill shed georges church grass corke woollen mills eli board georgetown floral co basket factory from these we have received the following donations and letters thankmg the brigade for their ser vices mr denison 86 mr corke 886 mr harding 15 mr l grant 10 tree gift this mono has been placed in the bank as a fund toward the purchase ot new uniforms which we so badly need wo would like to tbaok the hoove and council of 1981 and all others who helped us to get our new truck and hose etc and although it has coat some money yet if you wiu go to the fire hall to day you will see that eiery foot of hose that we have ib in use we would recommend that the present council take up the qoes tion of a proper fire alarm system as the present alarm system is not at all satifsactory as yon all know the one at the station s use less and the outlying ratepayers have no alarm at all having to either get the central telephone office to get some one to ring tbe bell or oome in and do it them selves what chance have the firemen got if some one has to come in from we will say mr herberva mr tl irwins or mrs dr nixon a to ring in an alarm trusting thib will meet with your approval i beg to remain yours respectfully a
