and low temperatures during the day the daily mean temperature for the week came down to 115 degrees as a compensation for the low tem peratures the winter clouds lifted and we got two whole days of full sun shine and wasnt that a delightful change just to find out how well old sol could warm things tip we placed a recording thermometer in our glass roof sun room and with no other heat than the rays of the sun the temperature went up to 103 degrees when the temperature in the shade out side was only is degrees when will some inventive genius give us some practical way of storing up all the

rvrlacted whom i hae been easdclatrd wtlh in the oom and rerr n ii brown who i am rarrrlnoecl wtu represent he municipality of oeorgetown at county council faithfully and wao trte past year continued to show marked tmpcowment tn the fin ancial situation of the own with a current levy of lajynoo tflnetyfite percent or tioeiioo aas oojccted and the total imui ware reduoed from leltsm tn 1w1 or

and the method to which the taire and water rates were collected if he arrangements made last year have proved to br unsatis factory and objsotlonable to he cttlsana i suggest that he finance com mittee afiould meet and submit raccsrimstvlstions and have them consid ered by the council at the earliest posxsbte moment the moat unaillifsclory financial mstter thai the auditors report will show sben completed is the tmvfctedneis ol h0xd0 00 by the arena company to he oorporauon realising as i do the problems that the arena board hse had to contend with down through the years know ing the benefit it has been to the people of oeonrrtnen and surrounding dtrlct nnd erprclally to the youth of uil oommium h providing an opportunity for clean upon and unuvminl in view of this fact i do not suggest to the council that ve should take advantage of the mortgage clauw thereby creating a possibility that this gtrat community asset might become die property ol private interests howcvrr i am going to be frank and say lo the arena board that in my opinion tn fslmrss o the public spulted men and aomrrt who approximately tvrnly years ago invested their money without any ihourtit of receiving either interest or principal in falmm to the taxpayers who have been conyng this indebt edness tn the tsx rate tn fslmnss to all clltsens who pay their accounuv to the corporation snd in view of the fsct that frequent attrmp have been mode to iirt nomr definite understanding with the arena board i do suggest that the municipal council should try and arrange a meeting with this board with the idea of formulating some agreement whereby from the beginning to the end ot the skating season the arena would be of greater community benefit and tn this connection if the town assumes part ol the financial responilblllty i submit all boys and girls up to and including secondary school age should be free to take advantage of this healthy recreation without any cost to themselvea therefore i submit the council should in the near future gtve some consideration lo this matter because in ray opinion if uniform methods are not adopted in collecting revenue in all cacs reganuren of persons or group o persons and it the council continues to ignore this unfavourable situation with the arena company then the present preemire applied tn collecting occounta from individuals should cease the total surplus of the town represented in bonds ot the end of december 1m1 was iis000 and i am assuming that he oouncu will use at least part of this to provide for some degree of tax reduction this year true essential servtoce must be maintained but with pvdcral taxa tion and other demands on the earnings and savings of the taxpayers at the present time the taxes collected for municipal purposes ehould be kept as low as possible although the admlnlstrauon of local hydro affairs is the responsi bility of he oeorgetown hydro commission i am taking advantage of this opportunity to call to the attention of the citizens that there is at the present time a hydro surplus in cosh and securities of gjoooooo this situation should not exist if we in the municipalities are going to follow the policy of sir adam beck the founder of itydro in this province which was power at cost with the approval of my fellow commissioners we shall make recommendations to the ontario itydro commission this year with a request to have the domestic itydro rates reduced tn oeorge town i am appealing to the members of the oouncu for their cooper ation while we are transacting public business throughout he present year regardless of how different our opinions may be or now freely our views on public affairs are expressed i nm confident the business of our meetings will be carried on with dignity and despatch i believe that we as a municipal council should during this world oonfttot not be unmindful of the men who have offered their services to their country and that weshould go as fur as the municipal act will per mit in seeing that the immediate relatives ot the men who are actively engaged in the defence of our freedom have the community considera tion which they so richly deserve and in this connection i know we all realise the time and thought that have been given by all organizations and individuals in the interests of the welfare of the armed forces it is my desire to express my appreciation and gratitude to all the churches organisations and citizens generally for the cooperation that has been extended to the municipal council in the past and i am confid ent that with that continued splendid goodwill regardless of the present or future personnel of your civic government and when our minds change from war to peace and contentment there will be more advanced civic legislation and a greater and better town of georgetown service notes heads masons e v uacooiutack local druggist who has reoenlly been appointed worshipful uastrr ot croat lod no 3i aj i all ui
