Save Taxz Dollars GarugeTo Curb As of Janua 1ry i Bowman- ville residents wiil have to carry their own garbage to the street for collection. Acýcording to a study done by Coun. Ivan Hobbs, Trea- surer Joe Descent and Direc- tor of Public Works Jack Dunhamn, the town has growa so much that to continue to collect garbage from the door would require additional staff. The estimated annual cost for the additional labor would be $40,000. To avoid this expense the committee has decided to recommend to council that the service be limnited to collection fromn the curb.

TOUGII 'OPPOSITION - While Finance Minister John Turner was presenting lis bud- get on Monday in the House of Commons, the Olympie Lottery winners names were being selected on television from Hamilton. We sus- pect most people watched the lottery, figuring they could catch up on details of the budget later. In the editorial columns, the Editor did some speculating before the budget was brought down and wasn't too far out, except for the drop in sales tax on building materials. There were many other changes but by now most interested citizens will have heard or read about them. Cigarettes hadn't jumped in price nor had the price of liquor as of Tuesday after- noon. There was no increase in the tax on beer which is going to -go up the first of the year any- way, according to one well informed source.y ON TAKEOVER AGENCY - Former Rhodes scholar William P.
