history when it is urgently necessary that our town council should use every means possible to curtail expenditure during the next year or two in order that ourtax rate may not become unbear able georgetown has pretty mu61i everything a good healthy growing town needs at the present time and while there are some streets ye wc would like lo see paved we cannot aftord these local improvements just at present and they should not be undertaken this year especially when a large overdraft had to be carried over from last year- wo ore not blaming the councils of the past for the condition we find our town in at this time the great responsibility reals with the ratepayer themselves tttev have been derramur the- u- provements and they have been gett ing then and georgetown is a bet ter town for having the improve ments but we have been going a little too fast and we most cut down on the pace if wehopeto carry on with the present tax rate wp must be content with a utue less n every line and possibly put up with some socalled inconveniences our high and public school qards should cur- tan their expenditures as rar as passible and crttens generally should assist our town council by not
