unfortunately there seemed to be conâ€" firmution of the reports. It would seem that for a time at least all roadwork was being stopped and plans for main tenance work had been sidetracked.

The closing of the office of the agriculitural farm at New Liskeard, the announcement oi the closing of the office of the agriculâ€" tural representative at Cochrane, and other evidence:: of what appeared to be false econcmy, all these things had been cited to show that the Government was deserting the North.

Haileybury, for example, this; year has a rate of 60 mills for public school supporters and 73 mills for separate school supâ€" porters. These rates are <«lightly higner than last year, public supporters then having a rate of 58 mills and separa<:?> school supporters, 73 mills. There will, however,. it is claimed, be an actuai reâ€" duction in taxes for Haileybury, the small increase in the ratos being more than effect by the increase in the taxâ€" able assessment. New Liskeard also has struck its rates for 1943. The rates this year are 38 mills for public school supporters and 53 mills for separate school supporters. This is a nice little reduction from last year‘s rate. They were in 1942, for public school supporters 41, and for sepâ€" arate school supporters 55‘ millk; New Liskeard‘s assessment will not be much different to last year, so the reductio® in taxes means a material saving to both public and separate school supâ€" Try The Advance Want Advertisements 'h:fiu\t Results in Development at Aunor Gold Mines Reported at Annual Meeting of the Company at Toronâ€" The chief matters of interest at the recent annual mecting of the Aunor Gold Mines was the report of importâ€" ant development results at. the 1.375 and 1.500â€"foot levels, and the reâ€"elecâ€" tion of the 1942 board of directors for the ensuing year.
