Then the Mayor told what Toronto is doing; how it is growing.

Council speedily got down to grips and a by-law authorizing borrowing from the Bank, if necessary, until taxes were collected, was passed. Next the by-law to set the rates for 1947 taxes was faced. It had been hoped to reduce the Consolidated Mill Rate, which last year was 23 mills, but ow- ing to snow removal expenses, the pur- chase of a scraper blade and that the County Levy will be higher this year, it was thought not safe to do so and the Consolidated Mill rate will re- main at 23 Mills, As each of the School Sections asked for a larger Section higher. ~The Council then faced the problem of establishing a School Area and a round-table discussion was entered in- to. The time seemed opoprtune. as Inspector Archibald had promised if a by-law was put through now the sections would each get a grant of $150 this year and the present boards 'would-continue-to-funetion-for-the-bal- ance of this year, Also the debenture problem had solved itself. No. 3 has no debenture debt, No. 2 will make final payment of their debt this year from this year's levy and No. 1 will only have the 1948 payment to make and this could be taken care of by their extra grant for this yéar and next 'year, so -those ratepayers who feared the establishment of an Area might mean that debenture debts of one section might be slipped over on te another section were needlessly alarmed. The matter was finally brought to a head by the introduction of a by-law to establish a School Area which was unanimously passed. The Department Auditor came on Monday also apd Roadmaster Mark and ex- clerk Hutcheson spent the day with him at the hall and got all balanced up. levies "wil all be slightly er --------------- SCUGOG 'Mother's: Day service was held in the basement with a good attendance.
