"Let us not stop the wheels of progrss," Mr. Macrae says. With the continued coâ€"operation of the people, the various heads of deâ€" %artments, and the council, York ownship is assured of a bright future and it is only by proper business management that imâ€" provements in the way of better transportation, more parks and On January 1st, 1936, when Mr. MacRae was first elected, there were tax arrears outstanding of $2,359,000.00. _ On October 31st, 1943, this figure had been reduced to $91,429.00 together with the curâ€" rent 1943 taxes still unpaid at that date amounting to $283,000.00. This great improvement can be attributed in part to the close coâ€" operation between the council, the citizens and the treasurer‘s deâ€" partment and it is by improveâ€" ments such as indicated in these tax collections that the council is enabled to Eass on to the people a considerable reduction in taxâ€" ation. "«WEST YORK‘S NEWSY WEEKLY* W oodbridge Westmount Humber Eeights Although hampered by wartime restrictions, the council has enâ€" deavored to put the roads of the municipality in as good a shape as possible and in many districts the improvement is manifest to all. Since Mr. MacRae was elected to the council of the township of York, many important developâ€" ments have taken place. The variâ€" ous departments of the municipalâ€" itty have been put on a much more efficient basis than formerly. . On January 1st, 1936, there were overdue water rates amounting to $63,938.55. A committee was apâ€" pointed by Mr. MacRae and counâ€" cil with ti‘:e result that by the end of 1941 the department was operâ€" ating efficiently and there were very few past due accounts. Preâ€" vious to October, 1938, no discount was allowed for prompt payment of water bills, but since tfiat date ten per cent discount has been alâ€" lowed for payment within a ten or 15â€"day period. Arrangements are now being made to provide faciliâ€" ties for payment of water rates within the discount period at local post offices, etc., on payment of a fiveâ€"cent charge. Thisâ€"will be a great convenience to the people and is in addition to the facilities already ~provided by the branck banks in the township. The responsibility of governing a munic]u)ality of 82,000 people is great. r. MacRae has now had the necessary experience to do the job satisfactorily. Spr. W. H. Prast, 590 Huron Street; Pte. W. R.
