One of the Ingest nomination meeting crowds in history jammed the town hall. "This band question affects more than just the town of Waterloo," Prof. c. F. Thiclc. leader of the "and. told the meeting. "The try- law affects all the bands. in Can- ada. for it will mean the first time the band tax has been tested at the Canadian polls", ho declared. The former grant to the Watcr-) loo band of $2.000 was discon- tinued two years ago, and Prof. Thiele stressed: "The cessation of band grants to any band means the death of that band in any town. Under the name of the Waterloo Band Society. your band has been m existence 60 years-why should [audition and service like this die?" Prof. Thiele. who has been presi- m-m of the Band Association of Canada for the past 19 years, as- serted: “I don't want to ever see the Waterloo band with too much money-we just want enough to carry on without fear or worry." He felt "criticisms of the request for a $3,000 grant have been point- ed at me more or less directly." Vol. 85, No. 49 Aldt Gordon S.

He added that he had "cvery eonftdenee in the abili- ty of those on the Waterloo Music- al goiriety executive to see that funds granted them will be put to only the proper use". The mayor pointed out that there was "no fear the tax rate will come up next year. providing the government pays the one-mill subsidy." He paid tribute to the "oundreds of Waterloo boys now doing a great job in uniform". and told the meeting that their town had now risen to a population 9,400. a sharp rise \ovcr the past two years, Finances of the town are now in “excellent condition. all obliga- ttons have been met, and the town is now able to finance on a lower rate year after year," Reeve H.
