The largest of the barns was . 109 feet by 50 feet; the second largest was 80 feet by 30 feet and was erected just last fall, A smaller barn 50 ft, by 30 ft. was also destroyed. Larry Davidson talking to the Star this morning (Tuesday) said that they lost about 450 pigs, 14 calves and one cow in the blaze, plus some machinery. Thirty-seven steers that were also in the barn were rescued: from the blaze.. He said that they had 526 pigs in the barn but they rescued about fifty or sixty of them. Mr. Davidson 2 estimated his loss of barns, livestock and ma- chinery at about $60,000.00. Police Receive Salary Increase At a meeting held on March 26th, Council reviewed the sal- aries of the Police Department. At the present time the Chief's 'salary'is $5,000.00 and the Con- stable's salary is $3,800.00. It was stated that most places having a population similar to that of Port Perry have more than two men on their Police Force. Council felt that the village police department were doing a good job, and the fol- lowing resolution was passed: "That Constable Roy's salary for 1964-65 be raised to $4,300. and Chief Cameron's be raised to $5,300.00, effective February 1st, and to be reviewed at the end of the two-year period." | The motion was moved by Coun- cillor Parkinson and seconded bv Deputy-Reeve Orde. .

Chief Cameron gave his rea- sons stating that the present staff is working twelve hours: per day, and sometimes eigh- teen and have to double up when the other has a day off. He explained that they were actually working seven days a week or a total of eighty-four -(84) hours per week.

After careful study of estimated receipts and expen- ditures Council approved and solution: passed the following Re- él That the Clerk be instructed to draw up a by-law to levy rates of taxation for the year 1964 for the Cor- poration of the Village of Port Perry with Commer- cial rate 88.23113 and Residential 80.00000.
