One of these goes into effect on April 1st and could be costly to the Star unless we adhere to the regulation. From that day on, the Star will have to pay 3 cents postage on all copies' more than three months in arrears. As the subscribers well real- ize, the Star has been lenient and co-operative, and many have been given longer time to pay for the subscription than the new regulations Hundreds of subscribers at the moment are several months in arrears, and unless they are # paid up before April 1st, the cost to the Star i conld become considerable. #Z Please check your label, and make payment before April 1st in order to avoid removal of your name on the mailing list.

The future operation of the local Fire Brigade will now become a responsibility of | the three municipalities, and | it was suggested that cost and upkeep should be shared according to the ability to] pay, and based on each com-! munities equalized assessment. | Tentatively, this will mean that Port Perry and Reach will carry approximately 40% each of the responsibility and Scugog will cover the remain- ing 20%. As far as Reach is con "| cerned only 60% of the Town- ship's area and equalized assessment will be based on fire protection cost, since the remaining 40% of the area comes under the jurisdiction of Uxbridge Fire Department. This again is decided on the amount of telephone subscrib- ers hooked up to either Ux- bridge or Port Perry.

He said that grants are paid in arrearsan if the program is proceede with in accordance with the regulations laid down, that a grant of 33:1/3% may be obt ained on each dollar spent. He said the committee would be responsible for the athletic activities in the village but it has to be understood that the committee is under 'the authority of council and}-- responsible to council. All athletic activities do not have to be managed through' the committee, but if a grant is required then it would have to go through the committee.
