Macpherson Phone 708, All Departments New Sewage Plant Won't Add 7 Mills To 1947 Tax Rate Members of the Town Council have been unable to walk along the streets of the town without being threatened with dire catastrophe, since it was announced in the Toronto papers that the 1947 tax rate was to go up seven mills, due to their decision to build a newg state that such is not the case, and that the report was erroneous.
