so ority Barries action was designed in the some of the known deficits Crusaders in bcountyCouncil To any observer at County Council session this week therecan be little doubt that the result of the recent court action by the Ibwn of Barrie has increased the resentment of other municipalities to the town We say increased because to degree the resent ment has always existed Too often in the past few years represent atives of the town have been outspoken in their criticism of proposed action by the county and too often they have vigorously opposed county action which was not in their opinion tothe common good to make these representatives popular in council The Town of Barriebrought an action ch resultedin Supreme Court ruling qu shlng of the moneyraising bylaw passed by ounty Council It was based on the met that the county had an illegal surplus andat the time theAcounty had no strong argument against the illegality other than the town was rather tardy in bringing the action later an amendment was approved by the Province of Ontario making it legal for the ooumty to put aside surplus of up to five per cent of the assessmentin this case about $57000each year upm total or 40 of the assessment over eight years Ten per cent of this surplus whichwas in tended as financial cushion to avoid short term borrowing from banks could be used to offsot taxes It is now arguedinsome legal quarters thatthls amendment should not become operativeuntil 1958 Further ohere is ap parently no legal sanction for the practice 01 municipality reopening estimates after the budget has been passed It has been known for some time that the council has been in the habit of carrying over surplus for which there was no auth main to force county council to abide by the rules Coupled with this Was also the belief orthe towns representatives that for any municipal or county government to carry large surplus was to invite Wasteful spending With surplus on hand it is too easy to find money for project which lwssihiyL would be otherwise No doubt other municipalities agree on the moral principles behind Barries action even lfthey feel the actual action taken was harsh These municipalities must surely face personaimoral problem when they are asked to endorse further misdemean ors of CountyCouncll at this session For faced with no monetary bylaw deficit in the cost of Judicial administration deficit in the cost of the County Childrens Aid Society and demand from Barrie for return of its sharevof the Surplus there seems no alternative but for the County Council to sanction

there are few phases of modern life which are not competitive But there has evolved an unfortunate trend in some forms of sport that are not creditable and which contribute little to the values of
