Orono Times. CLARKE COUNCIL RE- CEIVES ACCLAMATION (Continued from page one) soon as -spring opens up we will have the inaintain-er on this road. Mr. Reid remarked thialt the town- ship had never burrowed a -cent in five years and consequently have never had to pay a cent of interest i-n- that time. He showed in detail1 how during 1937 when floods caused a. great deal of damage the revenue was greatly de- pleted and how the township today proudly presents the surplus in the bank, although they know by the 1937 experience how close they can come to debt. “In 1936 your county; rate was- 14.3 mills, in 1937 it w-a-s 13.2 mills, while in 1938 it is 9.3 millls, which showis that the United Counties aire getting on their feet. You must remember that the assess- ed value of your township has- come down considerable, due to the rail- way being abandoned, also some fac- tories. In 1936 the township of Clarke was assessed at $1,995,888; in 1737. $1,980,485, and in 1938 $1,- 962,989. Mr. Reid then told how the county council spent the- monies of the town- ships, and gave a statement of the re- ceipts a-nd expenditures, the receipts being $435,874.0-9, while the -expen- ditures .amountetd to $439,117.70, leaving a deficit of $3,243.61 for the year of 19-37. There was an old debt of $85.000 that had been accumulat- ed throughout the years and: this debt h-a-s now been- cleared off the books, while $27,000 a year has been paid off fr-o-m 19-35 to 1938 for construction of N-o. 2 Highway along with interest, this debt also being cleared off. The county has now only a bonded debt of $555,198, a-nd are n-ow getting onto their feet again-. There was $77,- 20.80 spent on County roads from Dec. 1st, 1937 t-o October 31, 1938, yhile machinery purchased for road y-o-rk amounted to $11,151.44. Mr. Reid then closed, thanking the at-epayers for the splendid way they làv-e paid their taxes in the past, aaklng it possible for the town-hip to how a surplus to their credit. Mr. Patton remarked that he was .leased to stand on the platform an- ther year and that he had repl- anted Clarke township ais deputy leave for seven years, and during his hue they had never- borrowed money. Mr. Laing stated that he thought Jr. Reid had explained satisfactorily ill the derails in township affairs- and hat some may think it is- rather easy 0 get a balance in the bank, but it •a.nnot be done without being watch- u-1 of all expenditures .and spend inly that whi-dh is taken in, “We have nothing to hide or cover ip,” -said Mr. II. Lowery. I suppose re have made mistakes-, who hasn’t ( Ue can’t satisfy everyone but have l-one what we thought was best i-n the nterest of the Township. “I believe hat if we had followed any other loutrse we could not have shown you 1 bank balance.” He then spoke on axes and bow the money is spent. I-n 1936, Mr, Lowery -said, “the lou-nty naite was 14.3, township rate I, general school rate 5.2, making a otal of 24.5, bring the total taxes *f the township to $59,106.09.” In .937 the County rate wa-s 13.2, town- hip rate 4, school rate 5.2, total 22.4, -ot-al taxes $54,891.73, while in 1938, he county rate was- 9.3. township rate school rate 6, total 19.3, total -axes $48,733.58. This money is all he township has to spend. In the Township of Clarke there are 886 -ax payers, which means an average ef $8.90 for each tax payer. There va-s 8370 feet of snow fence made at Drone last- winter, including posts for he amount -of $657.24. T-o buy snow unices it costs from the manufacture srs $9.50 per 100 feet delivered, while n Or-o-no- it only cost the -County $4.- '5 per 100 feet delivered. “Some people have asked me,” said Jr, I.ovekiti, “why we haven’t a road iro-gnamme.” If the people want it re could do it, but it would cost the leqpfl-e more mloney to enter into a â- rag-ram of this kind, but we would to it a-s economical as possible.” “R'oads are -considerably harder to ;eqp up today than they were in the -airly day-s, owing t« the car traffic nstead of horse and buggy.” said Mr. ioyeMn. “If we entered: into a road u-ogratn we wo-uld have t-o- Have def- erent equipment in the township and core gravel pits.” “The reason why the United Coun- iea are getting on their feet again,” aid' Mr, Lowekin, “was- the fact that -e was the seconder 0f a. motion- that ras introduced at the -counties -council nd passed to tighten- the purse [rings and Stop a lot of the spending f money. He -said1 it did not make ini so popular at the counties council1 POLICE TRUSTEES RE-ELECTED (Continued form page one) that the trustees realized this point and that their in tent-ion:? were to erect a couple more tanks in order to give this necessary protection. He recom- mended the erection of a tank close to the Continuation School and one at the creamery. A-s -i-t stands now the nearest tank to the school is about one thousand feet away, and if hose w-ore used at that distance the pressure would not be very lwavy in case a, fire should break out at the school or near the creamery. Mr. Riddell stated that the village have a wonderful fire equipment and the trustees would like to -see every place protected. A motion was passed that the Trustees be instructed to build two water tanks, one -dosé to the school and one opposite the creamery. Mr. C. T. Miller asked that, the Trustees see that the side streets of the village be provided- with cal- cium chloride to -lay the, dust this s-ummer. “The- people on the back streets have to help pay for the pave- ment on the main street and we don’t , see why we don’t get the s-ame service,” s-aid Mr, Mliller. A rather lengthy discussion took place regarding this question. lit was finally decided on Mr. Wad- dell’s suggestion that the matter be left with the trustees, trusting that they would look -after the dh-st ques- tion on the side streets as economi- cal as -possible. Mr. Riddell: remarked that several sidewalks in need of repair would be looked after this coming year. -----------------oâ€"----------- Local News Mr. Milton Morris spent Christm-as week-end- in Toronto.
