investigating the The fact Barrie is bursting at the seams cannot be denied Withinjthe town building lots are becoming scarce and if all theprospectsthe Chamber of Commerce have con tact with were decide to erect plants in Barrie there would notbe sufficient ustrial land It wo un lSe to base our argument for annexation on possible growth of population alone Nevertheless while the town treasurers figure cit30000 might be overly optimis tic itwouldnot beunreasonahle to expectrthat it will increase to figure aroun 25000 in the next 10 years Accepting annexation as necessary step the question is how much land should the Town of Barrie annex For that matter howmiieh industry should we endeavor to have settle here At the present time 38 of the total assessment is paid by industry and commerce leaving 62 of the town bill to be born by theratepayersoi the figure given only9 is paid by industry more equitable solution would be if industry and commerce were paying 60 of the total assessment This from the pointer view of the private taxpayer is an argument in favor of the Chamber of Commerces belief thatif thetown is going to expand itshould think in big term mract it was on the suggestion his body that Town Cr nn xi iomo Strangely enoug at the recent meeting the strongest argument against thisline of thought was putJorward by the Town Planning Board who felt that totake in so large an area at one time might be more than the town could stand financially Whatever the area taken in there will be an immediate increase ncost in three major items schooling policing dren
