Welie ere, as well as a few thousand others.' In The Canadian Statesman. also Feb. 26th issue there is an article about how thiving The Towin of Newcastle was in 1856. For M. Dewar's infor- mation also around that time BOWMANVILLE had its first Centennial. In 1958 it hacl its second. Now let us hear again. Is there no such place as Bowmanville? I have been instrumental in helping to collect very close to 2,000 name of people here and throughqut the region, some of these from Newcastle. Ahl these people strenuously oh- ject to any change in OUR Town's name. Thousands throughout this region for business as well as other reasons, are waiting, wlling and eager to add their names to this lîst. Aratepae's Assoc. was formed b y many of us in Bowmanville and region. The first item on the agenda of that 'ratepayers' Assoc.. was to have been "Keeping Bowman- ville's name as if is." The people who pushed for the organization's formation, did s0 for the specific cause of laving Bowmanville's name kept intact. If that Assoc. ever gets through haggling over land developers and energy, per- baps we can get bac k to the main reason we were enthus- iastic about thé forming of a Ratepayers' Association. That reason being to keep Bowman- ville, BOWMANVILLE and nothing else'but! A ratepayer & loyal Bowman- ville-ite, Mary A. Morris and Anne Darch (former Reeve of Bowmanville before Mr. Bowman.) Editor's Note: Some of the above statements don't jibe with those in our faulty memory but the theme iS good.

Orono Public School Flooded Students at the Omono Public School were given a haîf day holiday on Monday due to a flood of watem into the classmoom amea of the school. About an inch of water covemed a section of the campeted floor in the school thus necessitating the closing of the sehool until the watem could be cleaned up._ The water appamently came up ttirough the I loor ofthtte school due to the freezing of Storm pipes carmying water away from the school. With the use of vacuums the watem was taken off the floor. A steam jenny was also used to clear ice outof the drainage pipes. c)f Gol-&den TulîIps s Plan- for Jubilée This is the result of many groups representing about 20,000 persons uniting in Winnipeg in 1925 and holding their first Unity Conference there in 1926.

Another feature of th,, anniversary year will be, a Dominion Convention in June, 1976 in Winnipeg, the birth- place of the Legion.

Assess ment Reg ulation s Accordîrîg to Town of New- castle mayor, Gamnet Rick- ard, the Ontario Assessment Act is 'wong." H1e expressed this opinion at the Monday, Feb. l7tb meet- ing of council in a discussion on a lîst of applications for cancellation, reduction or me- fund of taxes. Coun. Allin requcsted some clarification IibraryBudget Doubles for 75 The Town of Newcastle Lîbrary Board set their bud- get for 1975 wbicb when finalized will be doubled the expenditures of 1974. The total budget is expected to amount to $130,000 wbicb compares witb an expenditure of $62,220 in 1974. Lt was ponted out that the Town's share of tbis budget will amount to some $2.42 a person for the 29,600 esidents of the municioalitv. Some revision is to be given to the budget before it is nresented to council. on an item and something in the answer prompted Mayor Rickard to ask about the tax assessment on a commercial building wbich was not being used. He was informed that a vacant, commercial building would be assessed at the residential rate. At this point, Mayor Rick- ard declared vehemently, "If that is true, lIl have to say that the Assessment Act is wrong." H1e went on to explain that certain charges for ser- vices are contained in the residential rate which could not reasonably be applîed to a vacant business. Town Clerk, Joe Mcllroy explained that under previous legislation taxes were, sus- pended after three montbs of vacancy, but this was deemed unfair, and consequently the act was amended to levy residential ta'x on vacant businesses. t was also establisbed at the meeting that local officiais bave no control over assess- ment levies. If the assessors make a mistake (many of th e items on the list of appýlica- tions for refunds were bec, 2se of assessment error or double assessment) the municipality has no. recourse unless the individual taxpayer com- plainss Mayor Rickard pointed out, it is unlikely a taxpayer would complain th2sý bis taxes were too low. The discussion ended with Mayor- Rickard stili shaking his head.
