Mr. Elliott of Milton, who appeared on behaif of the solicitors for tse petitioner, said that be had no evidence to offer. Mr. Denton of Toronto, on behaff of Mr. Barber, said that be bad no instructions to ask for costs and Use petition was dismissed without costs. Neither Mr. Barber nor Col. Kems were present.

Mlton Time Capsules The Milton Victorias and Burlington jun- ior baseball teamns played a game at Burlington on Saturday, with Milton win- ning by a score of 25 to 23. The game was loosely played and boUs sides piled up rns without bits - in tis respect Burlingson gos Use better of it. The umpire, althougb very fair, did nos know Use irst tbing about Use game. Balks and bunt bits were entire- ly unknown su bim, wbich caused a lot of kicking. The bigllights of Use game were Use bating of H. Dixon, making a bit every time as bat, and Use base stealing of W Wmnn, wbosole 10 bases. Timbers pitched fairly well, exceps in Use fourUs wben hie gave nine passes on bails and bisthree men. Curves seemed unknown to Burlington, for Uey would walk away from Use base, and in Uis way Tnbers struck out 18. Milton team: R. Clements lb, H. Dixon 3b, A. Wharton ss, G. Timbers p, T.

TMe services of a graduate of Toronto University are avail- able as a very low salary, wbich can be pald by Use fees of a moderate number of pupils at $ 10 each per year. The fact Usas Milton is without a bigOt achool bas prevented Use increase of population wbich Use towns other advantages would otherwise bave secured, and Use wisdomn of Use economy wbicis some years ago blocked an attempt to establish sucis a school was as least doubtful. The proposed new departmnent would be a fair substitute for a bigh school and if opened will be a great boon su par- ents wiso cannot afford Use expense of sending Ueir children elsewhere for igher education.

Dear Editor: Sadly, Bruce Symington missed Use point of my lester regarding Miltons smoking bylaw, which was regarding governance and nos Use 5.7 million cigarette addicts in Canada. He should be on Milton counicil. 1 also suggest Usas he read Use Cisy of Medicine Hat's bylaw on Use same issue, where he will find a much clearer and well Uought out procedure in place ver- sus Usat of Milton coundcil. Ifs on Use Hatsa Weh site. More to Use point, municipal govemments daim su fame bas been hands-on govemmens. Milton lost Uis ability years ago, as it's Use town staff, with a multitude of con- sultants, who run Use town, and coundil follows like an aging bull with a ring Urough its nose. I could fil Use entire two editori- al pages with examples of coundcils muùsmanagemens and tax dollar waste and bow Uey're ous of soucis, but rll just stick wiUs a favourite of mine - which should be appreciated by old and new Miltonians alike. & e b pt f a mlgfutur- My tbfaaanrmoebco Nu1 tY Çà# endsx spce in wbicl o When water and sewage capacisy expansion was announced, hence allowing growth, many Miltonians raised concerna over who was gomng to pay Use bill. WiUs our mayor leading Use charge followed by bis council, it was stated pub- licly on numerous occasions Usas growth would psy for itself. Few public occasions wens by, where Uis Promise wasn't reiterated. It hasn't pald for itself anywhere else but our coundil was going to do is better. As expecsed and predicted by manY UseY were wrong and now it will get worse. Tax increases bave been projected for 2003. Why? To pay for new growUs. As well, is was stated in The Champion recentiy Usas Town staff feel taxes.could be going up every year for Use next 10 years. Wby? To pay for Use increased ssaffimg necessary to handle new growth. So mucb for Usas promise. Miltons biggest wealmess bas been poor financial and physical Planning, mainly due to lack of experience.

Sure Use Province said Uey could look after it. They knew it was contentious and a lose/lose situation. As a resuls. it will be your prop- erty tax dollars wbich are after tax mornes, Usas will be used to pay for our new smoking police. Most likely Usey'll be accompanied in Use future by pay duty regional police as $50 an hour, minimum four bours work. Meanwhile, Use feds and provinces who take in bil- lions of dollars from cigarette tax ges off scot-ftee. Sonry, but I Usink Usats dumb on our part su sllow it to happen. So wbat's next for our councils consîderation? A made-in-Milson Kyoto Accord? New helicopsers for Milsuns DM)? Maybe our own gasoline tax or isow about Miluns own gun registry?
