But due ta regulations calling for the preparation ai a by-law, having three readings and approval by the-~municipal board, after which the law re- quired advertising for three consecutive times in the local press. this was found to be im- possible and the vote would have to be delayed until Feb- ruary. Reeve Rickard said he had de- cided to seek a third term be- cause too few citizens wouid allow their name to stand for public office and he feit it his duty to serve for another year if the people wanted him. He congratulated the members of the retiring council for the co- operative manner in which they had carried out the affairs of the village. He also congra- tulated the school board who had a most difficuit year and were able to carry on at a re- duced cost over the previous year, thus helping council to keep the tax rate down. In explaining the re-assess- ment now underway the Reeve stated that he had previously been assured that the Newcas- tle assessment was O.K. and that the Counties Assessor had stated that Newcastle had been the first municipality ta com- plete its re-assessment. How- ever when the new assessor took over it was found that there were no assessment cards in the counties office for Newcas- tle. Thus it was necessary ta have the re-assessment made at a cost ta the village of approxi- mately $450. The Reeve spoke briefly on county business explaining that debentures were being issued ta cover the cost of a new High School at Port Hope and an ad- dition to the Bowmanville High School of which the village of Newcastle will be required to pay approximatelyi $2,763 the first year. After that, he said, Provincial grants should bring the payments down to about - - -Lb. 29C - - * -Lb. 59C - - - -Lb. 49C - -- -Lb. 27c - M a aLb. 69C m Geese ti te ie is )f Ys il ýe al r f .s 0 d $700 annually for 20 years. He saiti that another counties service whicb was gaing beyond reason in cast was the Counties Health Unit, but as it is admin- istered by the Provincial Dept. of Healtb which pays haîf the cost, the council members have littie control aver expenditures. Coun. Jase reported ta the people on Finance, stating tbat the tax rate bad been held ta 42 milîs this year, but that there would flot be any surplus and the council would do well if tbey coulti break even. He stated that relief casts had been high- er than at any other timne during his termn in councîl. The cost a! police and hall caretaken were also higber this yean, but he be- lieved the people would agree that the new system of split- ting the positions was well worth the extra cost in the ser- vice rendereti. Coun. Caucb reported for the Property and Fine Committees. He said cansidenable new equipment bati been purclbased for the lire department and that a contract had been let for the replacing of the eaves on the community hall but that the cantractors had nat stanted as yet. .Coun. Dickinson reparting on roatis said that this tiepartment had had ta curtail its work con- siderably due ta the large cut in the government grant. He said he believed that the oiling o! some of the raads was an economical step and he believ- ed more streets shaulti be spray- ed this year.- W.C. T.U.
