After this paring of estimates the coîun- ty rate for 1955 was set at 12.36 milîs, based-on 1951 assessment rather than the 1955 equalized assessment. In Bowmanville's case this wili mean that the town will pay about $30,000 for counties purposes rather than the $28,500 provided for in the 1955 town estimates. This is considerably less than the $52,280 the town would have had ta pay if By-law 1748 bad been upheld, how- ever, and 1955 equalized as- sessments, bad been used as the basis cf taxation. The Deputy-Reeve pointed eut that Counties Couneil plans ta ose the new equalized as- sessments as the basis for 1956 taxation and some municipali- ties in the United Counties plan te appeal the use of the equa'lized assessments for next year's county rates. Bowman- ville bas until the end of the year te file an appeal alsa if it feols it is not getting a fair deal, Mr. Carruthers said. Coon. John Regan expressed the opinion that Bowmanville should appeal the use of thje new eqoaized assessment, for coonty purpases next year if the other municipalities do so. He stated that he had been in Coboorg that day also, and had Th ieves Take $497.00fOO Glen Rae Dairy IWithout using violence or displaying any kind of weapon, two men waiked out of the 'à Glen Rae Dairy beré Tuesda' q morning with $497 in cash and I made a dlean getaway.
