The highest point reached was in 1928 when the outstanding debt amounted to $1,180,196.00. Since that year the debt has declined steadily, until by the end of 1933 it is estimated the amount of outâ€" standing debt will be $931.295.00 includ‘ng $35,000.00 of Debentures issuâ€" ed in 1933 to take care of Sewage Disposal Plant now nearing completion.

We believe that these matâ€" ters have been successfully handled. Outstanding Taxes are in a satisâ€" factory condition, the Debenture Debt and Bank Loans are both reâ€" duced to a satisfactory level and expenditures have been kept well in hand. In regard to expenditures your attention is specially directed to the statement dealing with Distribution of Tax Levy for year 1933, which should be carefully studied. It will be seen that out of a total tax levy amounting to $451,882.00: Debenture retirement required ...................$ 96,029.00 (not including waterworks) School Library Maintenance required ... 197,745.00 Leaving for General Town Purposes ... _ ©158,108.00 Debenture payments are fixed and must be m’et. School Maintenance has been capably handled by the various School Past years have not been without considerable difficulty and it will be readily recalled by most of you that only a few years ago the outlook for the future of this camp was none too bright. It was natural, with such views prevailing that Real Estate values should be seriously affectâ€" ed and that taxes should become more difficult to collect. This was followed by the general depression, which, while not felt so severely here as in other parts of the country yet involved the Town in conâ€" siderable expenditures for relief. Faced by such conditions it became Library Balance for An examination of these statements reveals the fact that steady and substantial improvement has been made over a period of years and that the financial affairs of the Town have reached a position of considerâ€" able strength.

On account of his injury he had been turned down by the medical examiner for the Government when applying for work at one of the airports, jyet the Compensation Board had dropped payâ€" ment to him on the apparent grounds that he was no longer suffering disabiâ€" lity. The gentleman was present at the meeting and showed the condition of his arm. He was anxious to work but was evidently disabled. Council thought his case deserved consideration from the Compensation Board. â€" This case and the ones in connection with silicosis will be taken up with the Comâ€" pensation [Board to see what can be done to help fair treatment in all cases. Mayor Drew said that he understood one of the cases at least was a tubercuâ€" ous case and so not under the Comâ€" pensation â€" Board‘s assistance. The mayor thought it would be well to have the clerk write and get a report on each of the cases. ( Councillor Richardson thought it would be well to write the Compensaâ€" tion Board and get the facts of the cases as viewed by them. s Councillor Maltais thought it would be well for the council to take up the cases ‘with the Compensation Board. The cases might be reâ€"opened. If no action was taken there might be more of these cases thus burdening the town. Councilior Maltais referred to some of the cases where men unable to work were classed as not silicotic, though having been formerly classed as such by the Compensation Board. Councillor Morrison said he had brought some of the cases to the atâ€" tention of A. F. Kenning, M.P.P., who had taken them up. "Why have they been turned down? asked Councillor Parsons. Councillor Maltais said he would like to call the attention of council to a number of cases where the Compenâ€" sation Board had turned down payâ€" ments to those suffering from silicosis and the men and their families were forced to go on relief. _A request was received for the refund + of a license granted to a young man l London Looks for Still for the peddling of fruit in town.
