power to add to their numbers from citizehs outside council Council would indirectly for the erection of 50 Iowqenu have decided advantage in such houses by Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation The land for this project was purchased from three different parties It all borders on Gunn St negotiations had to be carried on with the various parties concernt ed so that Gunn St could be wid ened from lane of 33 to II street with road allowance of 60 This entailed arranging for the moving of one house which will be done when the weather permits next spring gt The property committee is parti cularly pleased to report on the success of this project We feel that the 50 houses that are to be completed shortly will definitely help alleviate the housing shortage that exists in Barrie cveral other items of business might be mentioned these will suffice how ever to indicate that your pro perty committee has been actlve and that we have acted in the best interests of the Town of Barrie So much for the past years ac tivilies What of the Future cannot help being concerned over Barries future As you know themlll rate iii 1949IOr public school slipporters was 614 Bar Iles debenture debt now stands at $68354424 and when the fol lowing debentures are issued $67500000 for public schoalsV$70 00000 for sewers $500000 for the band $1000000 for sidewalks and $100000 for industrial sitesTit will amount to $145354424 while we all wish Barrie to progress yet its progress must be tempered with sound business judgment if Barrles strong financial position is to be maintained Close co operation between the finance comlt mittee of council the town treas urer and the assessor will ro ducthe guidance needed to tire ofmrown this end In 1940 council began the re asseSSment of all properties in Barrie This was undertaken with vidw to placing the assessment in fair and equitablelmanner on all properties within the munici pality Work on this project is progressing it is my ballet that with its completion the total as sessment of the Town of Barrie will be subs antially increased Thore has been some objection to Harrie completing its reassess ment before all other municipal ities within the county were so asseiised have it on the auth ority of the county assessor how ever that the completion of this Workln arrie will in no wise ef fectth levy by the county until all Other municipalities have com pleted thir assessment according to thesame pldn It is my cohtention therefore that this reassessment program Besides this house that they had to offer procedure as it would benc fit from each outside committee limit in direct maximum to their interest in the municipality It is my opinion that next years council should make immediate plans to take over the collection of garbage 115 civic enterprise at the expiration of this present contract in order to make this possible proper accommodation for the housing and servicing of equipment needed is imperative Such facilities would fit in with lthc present needs of the board of works and provide them with place to house and service their equipment as well The capital ex penditure required to provide these facilities will be worth while investment for every tax payer in Barrie Before we undertook the mat ter of building houses under the plan provided for by Central Mortgage and Housing Corpora tion survey was conducted to as certain the need for the type of In all we received 115 applicationsr up to April 1949 since then therel have been additional applicants As wear buildingbut 50 Houses itl would appear that number of those desirods of securing this type of accommodation will have to go unsatisfied Since we have reserved the land upon which more houses can be built believe that next years council seriously consider the erection of more such houses under this or similar plan feel that am qualified to fill the office of mayor If you choose toelect me on Dec 12 shall
