TAX RATE Lindsay, 12th largest of Ontario's towns, has one of the lowest tax rates for any town of comparable size, and one considerably lower' than the aver- age for the incorporated towns of the Province, according to figures released by the Department of Municipal Af- fairs for 1952. The-figures quoted are from audited reports, submitted by the towns. The town of Lindsay ranks behind borne, Pembroke, Orillia, 'Brockville, Mimico, New Toronto, Riverside and Trenton in population. The offcial as- sessed population for 19562 was 9,763. i LINDSAY-- One hundred and twenty-five em- ployees of Canadian Arsenals Ltd., in Lindsay, were laid off last week-end. A report to this effect was confirmed by plant officers. The official statement covering the; layoff was as follows: "The recent completion of an am- has resulted in the laying off of 126 employees. ~ "However, plant. officials 'express confidence that in the not too distant future new contracts wilb be forth- coming and that many of those em- ployces affected by the layoff will be rehired." 'The layoff of Arsenal employees which is 'still continuing, will not be permanent according to Col, E.

It seemed doubful at-one stage of Tuesday evening's meeting of Town Council whether it would be done or - | not; since the job will cost about $4,000 and only $3,000 had been budgeted for this year. Several quotations, were read. One tender from the Lincraft Co., which was for a complete overhaul of the Town Clerk's office. This latter ten- der came to about $4,000. It included a new floor, new counter, new stand- up ledger desk ,ete. "Ald. Baker, chairman of Town Pro- perty, said that $3,000 was budgeted for. He thought that possibly the $1,000 extra could be obtained from the 2 mills, $18, 000 of which the Board of 'Works are to receive $15,000. Claim 80 Bushels Per Acre in Brock An astonishing record, even for this exceptional 1963 year of wheat growth is" claimed . by a 'Sunderland corre- spondent to district papers, in a story of an afternoon's threshing record of 80 bushels per acre from grain on the farm of Henry Brown in West Brock. It was threshed by Mason Acton of Victoria Corners, but when the tabula- tion was made of the farm's total, it was between' 56 and 60 bushels per acre, . There is nothing exceptional in 66 bushels per acre, as some of the Base Line, 'North Gwillimbury farm- ers have a similar record from heavy yielding fields. Grain that heavy is reported locally by the Fergus Lockie farm (on 6th Concession) - and front two fields on Doug. Gooper's (ase Line). The story about the West Brock grain:crop states that it stood just 6 feet high when cut and was such a luxuriant crop that about one foot of straw was. left as stubbble.

"Generally, U.S. communities are much more concerned with technical aspects of the planning than we are and in this' respect' they are: more mo- dern than Canadians," said Mr. Mar- A report of this nature is something which might be expected from Berlin, where Communist infiltration units are' at work 'and violence is common- place.

In the motor car industry, it has long been customary for the car own- er to trade in his old model on a new one, Now the Fodersl Housing Admin. istration is conducting tests in six cit- ies to determine if it is feasible to take old houses in part payment for néw ones, ; The FHA is exploring the possibili- ties of assisting in the reconditioning of old model homes preparatory to trading them in-on new ones; and the Home Builders Association is also tak- ing an interest in the experiment. } To give a fair-test of the possibili- ties in widely divergent areas, the six cities where tests are being carried on are Columbus Ohio, Hartford Conn, Shreveport La., Washington, Oklaho- ma City and New Orleans. According to government authori: ties, four out of 'every ten. prospective purchasers of new homes are already owners, so there will be a fairly large number of old homes for owners to trade, on homes better suited to their needs. The FHA is providing' special archi- tectural and technical advice to build- ers and.-home owners in the test areas, One purpose is to show owners how they can make their existing proper- ties more attractive and valuable, 'Another is to bring old properties up to a better standard, thus heading off the growth of slums. ; The experiment ignores one well known fact--that in the motor car business, the "trade in" is the bane of the dealer, and the Achilles heel of the' entire business. : Oshawa Times-Gazette. serious concern-on the part of the pub- | - " WHEN BUYING OR SELLING industrial and Business Property. - . tin, recently retuined from San Fran- cisco where he was an observer at the annual 'national meeting of the Am- ericanInstitute of Planners. ning is emphasis on decentralization" U. 8, town planning survey and re- search techniques were especially highly developed with respect to growth of commercial and residential areas. Various détails such as buying power, psychology, extent. and quali- ty of transportation and recréation' required by inhabitants all were con- sidered while® planning U.S, centres, Towns were planned the same way as large industrial plants, On the other hand, in the aspset of administrative power, the U.S. town planner worked only as an adviser. The administration was often incap- able of co-ordinating private develop- ments, "Legislation in Canada contributes to the co-operation with neighboring municipalities to an extent which is hardly possible in the U.S.," Mr, Mar- tin 'said. - As far as urban accomplishments were concerned, the U.S. was more | successful in handling traffic than Canada, The Americans tackled the parking problem 10 to 15 years soon- er, and thejr traffic regulations were more up-to-date than Canada's. Mr. Martin said free and express ways, one-way traffic flow, prohibi- tion of parking on many streets and strict enforcement of regulations should become models for Canadian traffic. "Of course, cities cannot success- fully handle the present and future traffic problem themselves. If we are going to develop express and free ways in the citiek, we will need the help of senior governments. Today traffic is not only & municipal but also a vital national problem." »- - Cartwright Council The Regular September meeting of Cartwright Council was held on Tues.
