stone protest interpretation of the garbage collection contract by which bob lane has agreed to provide sani tary land fill and a dumping loca tion as well as garbage pickup will be sought when councils public works committee discusses i this with mr lane this week at mondays council meeting a letter from smith stone ltd- drew attention to a 400 account sent to that firm which levied an 80 monthly charge for covering garbage which the firm has been depositing in the present dumping grounds company manager jack malcolm in his letter said no prior notification had been given about a charge and that the firm vigorously protests at cr fred harrisons request terms of the contract and the garb age bylaw were read by the mayor cr harrison said he could find nothing in the contract which allows a free dumping area fori industrial waste the garbage by law calls for putting garbage out for collection in containers he said and if smith stone did this the contractor would be ob ligated to pick it up several other council members spoke strongly in opposition reeve sargent pointed out that the firm is saving the contractor work in trucking waste to the dump if he is not being paid sufficiently for his work he should come to council he continued we are trying to encourage in dustry to locate here and this is no way to do it was the reeves opinion h cr em hyde expressed the opinion that it was implied in the contract that mr lane would con- tinue as the town had done in covering any garbage in the dump cr mcgilvray opined that if there is any beer council should be told we have a responsibility to industry they pay 3 more mills i on the dollar than householders said mayor armstrong i the contractor he said received an extra 100 per capita present- s ly 9000 when the town switched from its own sanitary disposal system last fall i wasnt on council when the town first entered this business said cr harrison but i believe at that time land filling was esti mated to cost 11000 a year public works chairman john elliott said he had been called by provincial paper ltd who had re ceived a bill for 70 a month council decided to find out from mr lane if there was an error in billing industries and how many had been billed the matter will be further discussed at next weeks meeting when we were laid off at malton on february 20th i read in that weeks herald that council was going to do everything pos sible for us said bill chard 14 i elizabeth st as he handed his tax bill to council mr chard noted that his taxes have increased 12 monthly a jump from 71 to 83 he also en quired why a lower cost home hsould be assessed more than one which sold at a higher price mayor armstrong explained that while council has found it neces sary to levy more taxes this year have many othertgwjmr but that the tax rise approximately 450 monthly it appears your mortgage com pany is setting- aside a cushionfor the future with the extra charge and that is a matter between you and them he said he explained that assessments arc not necessar ily based- on selling values but that council has no jurisdiction over this department of govern ment and a ratepayer has the privilege of disputing his assess ment in the court of appeal complaining that a neighbour cr ern hyde was using heavy machinery on sunday on his pro perty and creating a dust nuisance bruce harley 21 ewing st

councillor christ living saviour third baptist belief the third in a series of sermons explaining baptist beliefs was preached by 1st baptist church minister rev lloyd whan on sun day when he took as his text christ the living saviour mr whan told the story of a carving of a wounded lion which always attracts attention in a little park in lucerne switzer land the lion is dying with a spear in its side and is carved in a stone cliff in memory of swiss guards who died defending a french king the carving reminds us that suffering borne for someone else is a call to the higher levels of living he said baptists believe that his is supremely so in the case of jesus christ our saviour centuries before christ it was prophesied that christ should be a man of sorrows anfl be wounded for our transgressions isaiah 535 when he finally came to earth men put him to death on a cruel wooden cross god took his cross mans worst deed against god and turned it to gods best deed for man all this suffering had a purpose it was to save man from his heavies weight he has to bear his unforgiven sin because jesus loved us enough to give himself to che for our sins we can have hope forgive ness and new life from god or abundant life as it is called yes baptists believe that only through a personal faith in the lord jesus christ and a confes sion of him before men can the individual receive
