The Trustees also met witli Mr. Bruce Tennant wlio was asking that the unused street allowance in front of his new home be made a proper street. 11e stated this would necessitalte the removal of some trees. He also pointed out that the Village map sliowed the streit in front of bis property ruinning north to the old cemet- ery. TJvý trees, lie said, did hamper hlm drîviing onto lis property.

Net Reassessegd We are informed thait tlie ad- juLstment and reduction of assess- ment of tlie Community Tebephone Company wthin the limits of Or- ono was not due to reassessment but nather to a change in arriv- ing at the assessment figure for taxation. Tlephone cempanies within a Police Village are 'assessed as a percentage of gross receipts anis- ing out of the defined area. Pre- vionsby Orono gained the benefit, of tlie gross receipts of the< en- tire CýommuiinLty Téleplione oper- ation in the area. The assessment lias been greatly reduced since 1969 wbpn tic gross receipt fig- ure could only be used as gener- ated out of the Police Village, not the entire opération. Telephone assessment ln tlie Township is based on a rate per muile of téléphone ine. Eaýrly>, Local Pictures Sparks Horticultural Meeting.
