(By Chronicle Correspondent} Be Sure to Remember the I9th of December Help To Make Waterloo a City â€" Vote "YES" on December 9th SHOULD THE TAXES OF A CITY, AND THUS A SEPARATE MUNICIPALITY, BE HIGHER THAN UNDER PRESENT CONDITIONS? WOULD INCORPORATION As a CITY MEAN a CHANGE IN THE ADMINISâ€" TRATION OF OUR OWN AFFAIRS? wWOULD INCORPORATION As A CITY MEAN THAT WATERLOO WOULD NOT MAKE ANY CONTRIBUTION TO THE COUNTY? ARE THE MAYOR, REEVE, DEPUTY REEVE AND ALDERMEN IN FAVOUR OF THE CHANGE? No. There SHOULD be a substantial REDUCTION in taxes. sHOULD THE FACT OF OUR BEING A CITY MEANADDITIONAL OVERâ€" HEAD EXPENSES FOR POLICE, FIRE PROTECTION, MUNICIPAL STAFFS, AND OTHER SERVICES? It is ure{yA time that Waterloo became a city. 20 D) CHCCUG Ume imat Waterico became a city. But, unless a large majority of our citi indicate this as their wish, the, necessary steps to incorporate cannot be undertaken your own interest we urge every elector to vote "Â¥ES" on the question. For the benefit of those who have not had an opportunity to study this matter, here are the answers to some questions, which will help you to vote intelligently on December 9th next. & wHY IS THE CHANGE BEING CONSIDERED? To A great deal of thought has been given to this subject, but before anything further is done it is necessary to know the wish of the electors, If Waterioo is to become a city, # large majority of our citizens must be in favour â€"there must be no doubt of the will of the citizens as a whole. The men who were appointed by the Town Council on August 19th to look into the matter have made a careful study of the question. These men are conâ€" vinced that it WOULD be in the best interests of everyone if Waterloo were to become a city. The Committee reported to the Council on October 21st and Council VOTED UNANIMOUSLY IN FAVOUR OF INCORPORATION. "Are You in Favour of Waterioo Becoming A City ?" The Electors of Waterioo:â€" Yes. The elected representatives in council would have complete control of assessâ€" ment and expenditures. No. But instead of the amount being levied by the county, a lesser amount would be settled by negotiation. Because our population now exceeds 10,000 and is steadily growing: our financial and manufacturing institutions are of such national importance in providing steady emâ€" ployment, that it would be to the town‘s advantage to become a city; there are additional advantages, outlined below, which affect our citizens directly. No. We already have our own police and fire departments and sufficient municipal help. . Yes. They voted unanimously in favour If you have any questions in connection with this important issue line to: Citizens‘ Committee for "Waterloo As A City", Town Hall, Waterico ditures for the year ending Nov. 15th and a byâ€"law was passed adopting the 1946 assessment rolls as the rolls for 1947. The collector‘s bond, holdâ€"up inâ€" surance and highway accident inâ€" surance policies were renewed and the clerk was instructed to procure the necessary assessment notices for the assessors to make the 1947 assessments. The Reeve was also instructed to sign tax warrants to the collector in the event they may be necessary in the collection of taxes on certain properties, and following the passâ€" ing of accounts the meeting adâ€" journed until Friday, Nov. 15th at 2 o‘clock. To Abandon Yuletide Lighting Kitchener. â€"Kitchener Chamber of Commerce officials pointed out that the shortage of electric power is taken to mean that it will be impossible to erect Christmas lights on King Street this year. _ _ Chamber officials had been hopeâ€" ful Christmas lighting could be reâ€" introduced this year after a lapse of four ofr five years. The equipâ€" ment is still on hand and the comâ€" Citizens Committee for *‘Waterloo as a City" munity trade committee studied the matter from all angles with a view to making sure that all availâ€" able lights would be installed. They now state that "if the power is not available and lack of power may mean dumping the load of larger factories an cutting down on street lighting, it would hardly be proper to press for addiâ€" tional power for employment in Christmas lighting." The chamber‘s Santa Claus sign has been installed on the lawn of ‘the House of Refuge property. It is expected the power will be turned on some time this week. Permission to erect the srlgn there, instead of at Janzen Gardens (at the eastern entrance of the city) was granted at the last meeting of the House of. Refuge board. Vote To Be Taken On Cocktail Bars In Large Centres Toronto.â€"Ontario‘s largest and thirdâ€"largest cities, Toronto and Ottawa, moved toward obtaining Ontario Government permission for a referendum on the gmposec establishment of cocktail bars. The first move was made by Toronto when the board of control gppmved a motion from Control‘er tewart Smith c@lling upon the Provincial Government to amend existing liquor lsgislafion which excludes Toronto, Windsor, Ottawa, Hamilton and London from holding a referendum on this question. Within a matter of hours Ottawa had taken similar steps. Under the present Liquor Licensâ€" ing Act a ?Iebisciu may be taken in communities of 50,000 and under on the cocktail bar question but the same right is not extended to larger cities in the province. It was stated by Mayor Stanley Lewis, of Ottawa, that "the people, obviously, have the right to deâ€" mand the privilege of casting a Earliet the Ottawa mayor had heard a submission from a delegaâ€" tion of United Church ministers urge the advisability of a plebiscite. Controller Smith, who sponsored the Toronto motion, said: "I realize that the submission of this question by the civic adminisâ€" tration will have no Ie’nlity as to whether they (cocktail bars) are permitted in this city or not, but it f e'hm at least ':ve thteh ciflzenlioa ance to ak on the question and offer [l‘nfi-nce for thegrovin- cial Government," he declared.
