CARS FOR DEST SELECTION FULLY RE-CONDITJONED No Tax Raise Locally High School & County Up Public School Rate Down Due ta sanie paring o! the estimatçs o! the Newcastle Pub- lic Scbool Board,» the local council was able, despite sharp increases in the High School and County rates, ta hold the local tax rate ta 53 milîs, the same as last year, when striking the estîmates at the March meeting held on Monday evening. The total amount required by council will be $50,406.21 caver- ing County, High Scbool, Public School and local aýdministration rates. The largest increase is in the county rate o! $8,766, whicb is more than double the 1955 requirements o! $3.900. The Higb School Area Board require- ments for the year (including building fund debentures) is $7.806, an increase o! $2.806 over last year. The mast pleasant surprise ta council, and will be ta the tax- payers, is the drap in the est- imates o! the Public School Board o! $4,000, from $15,000 in 1955 ta the $11.000 requisition for 1956. The drap in the Board's estimates was explained ta council by John Rickard, Chairman o! the Finance Ca n- mittee o! the Board. He said he Time Theme bas always been opposed ta the Board budgeting for and havingi large surpluses and bas budget- ed pretty close this year, alloiv- ing approximately $600 for emergencies. He said last year's surplus o! more than $2.000 plus a capital expenditure grant coni- ing froni the Department o! Education made the reduction in estimates possible. This will leave $22.834 for the general administration o! the village, which is made up as follows: Administration____.$ 2,000 Council wages 550 Property-------------- - 1,000 Office expense . = 300 Fire Department 1,500 Police Departmcnt . 1,700 Caretaker ---------2,5001 Roads Committec 3,000 Street Lighting -------- - -2,000 Relief ----------------------- --- 500 Arena (incl. debentures) 1,600 Sidewalk Committee --- 1,000 Grants -- ------------------ -3,000 Health and Hospitalization ---------- -500 Unemploy.

Association o! the United Church was held in the Sunday School Rooni on Thurs- day, March th with very bad weather preventing the usual good attendance. In the absence o! Mrs. Nora Colwill, the devotional periad was conducted by Mrs. Fergu- son, assisted by Mrs. Clcmencý-, Mrs. Godfrey and Miss Han- cock. The theme of the talk Was "Tume". In Ecciesiastes 3, 1-8 we are told o! variaus activ-- ties 'Pach having its appointed tume. 2nd Corinthians, 1 and 2 states: "For He saith I bave beard thee in a time accepted and in the day o! salvalion have 1 succoured thee: bebold naw is the accepted turne; be- bold naw js the day o! salva- tion" . From Malachi 3:8, we learn that tbough tithes and of- ferings are ta be given ta God, it is possible also ta tithe aur time and talents. Prayer closed this part o! the meeting and Mrs. Cowan p]ayed, very ac- ceptably two piano selectioîîs "Longing" and "The story of the Brook", first giving a brie! description o! the music. 1 JChie!
