Now that the Band Byâ€"Law has been declared legal in every aspect and the two members of the Council legally qualiâ€" fied and so entitled to vote thereon, let us look at the minute cost of such a Byâ€"Law. The taxable assessment of the Town of Waterloo ij about $7,200,000 which means that 1 mill will raise $7,200, and as only $3,000 is needed it will cost .417 of a mill. On an assessment of $2,000 the taxpayer would pay the small sum of 83 cents per annum in order to ensure the continuance of one of the great musical organizations in Canada, the Waterloo Band (sponsored by the Waterloo Musical Society). For this small addition to the tax bill make sure that the Byâ€"Law is favorably voted upon by an overwhelming majority As Waterloo has a population of approximately 9,000, the per capita cost would be about 33¢ per annum.
