Elite idiotic Examiner Walla Publisher William Tolfer General Manager McPherson Managing Editor FRIDAY JANUARY in FAG Mr was Civic Economy Of Most Interest To Citizens Once the controversy about cosy compact on Barrie city council has been settled ratepayers can be expected to turn their thoughts to the more practical aspcts of civic business Perha the first question to come to mind deal with taxes Will the rates go up in 1968 or will council be able to hold the line and do its own part in fighting inflationY Then people will want to now about sewers and vatermains paving and new sidewalks They will wonder if capital works of this nature will be curtailed to keep borrowing to minimum People are always titillated by the charges and countercharges that de velo from time to time in civic ad ministration This is especially true to day when Mayor Robert Bentley has been requested to investigate his own allegations of the socalled compact His report wilibe awaited with interest tooth by the alderman and the people at ar gut once this matter has been settled and filed away in convenient pi eon hole the avera citizen will be ok in of his tax ill and the services he wrll receive This year there is an opportunity to hold the tax line The cost of administration of justice has been taken over by the province and this will mean 555000 out in civic expense If work on streets and side walks is curtailed foo thero will be saving Offsetling these economies will be the higher costs of materials ser vices and we as However the not re sult may ma it possible for council to avoid tax increase when taxes gen erally are going up People want services as result of good civic government but they also want econom In the final analysis they will say well done if council man ages to maintain these services within the framework of realistic budget DOWN MEMORY LANE 20 YEARS AGO IN TOWN Barrie Examiner Jan 1948 On Boxing Day hunt in Essa Donald IL Em ery bagged six jackrabbits Fred
