Newcastle's share of the $5000 donated by the Northumberland and Durham Counties' Council to the Aid to Russion fund will be approximately $44.50. Newcastle's iiability for the Counties' Council general expenditures, based on the ratio of its equalized assess- ment to the total equalzied assess- ment, is .89 per cent. of the total. So this donation won't bear very heavily on the ratepayers. An ap- peal was made, from Newcastle churches last Sunday for contri- butions to the Aid to Russia fund ROYAL THEATRE- Thurs.-Fri.-Sat.
