At a later date I will go into these thoroughly. Over Levies ‘These amounts represent amounts over charged to the ratepayer in previous years and should be wiped out. At the end of each year there must be either an over levy or an under levy as the rate cannot be struck accurately enough to balance the levy against the school requisitions. Howâ€" ever, these over levies or under levies sHould not. exceed $3,000,00. These amounts have been accumulated over a Bank Overdraft This is set up out of a number of bank accounts which do not seem to be related to each other. What all these bank acâ€" counts are needed for is beyond me, and I have not gone into them as fully as I will, Fixed Assets These assets were set up out of current tixes without debentures being issued. Depreciation: has been written off on a number of these items, but what the oriâ€" gingal amount of these assets was and what the depreciation that has been written off against them is I do not know. There may be a large difference in this as the report does not show the original cost of all fixed assets and therefore I was forced to estimate this amount. Roads, Bridges and Sidewalks ‘This amount: represents the cost of conâ€" struction less debenture equivalent to deâ€" preciation. Expenditures on Waterworks Services What these actually are is very vague, but I surmise that they are the cost of water meters, piping and tile on hand. To be on the safe side I have deducted depreâ€" clation of 10 p.c. for two years. This deâ€" preciation may be sufficient to cover any drop in prices on these articles. Public schools This amount represents the cost of conâ€" struction and outfitting of all schools less debenture repayments equivalent to deâ€" preciation., _ Waterworks This amount répresents the cost of conâ€" struction less debenture repayments equi«â€" valent to depreciation. amounts to see how ald they are and whether they are collectable or not. If they are not for water connections we must find out what they are. Deposits re Supreme Division Court® Actions. I understand that all of these actions have been lost.

The reeve stated that it iwas usual to have the employees give their resignation at the beginning of the year. She wanted their resignaâ€" tions now. â€" Councillor Jones:â€""What lig against them?" â€" Reeveâ€""Ineffiâ€" 1 | â€" Business was resumed for a few minâ€" utes then a motion proposed and secâ€" onded by councillors was put in the i clerk‘s hand to be presented to the | council. This the reeve took from the clerk‘s hands and tore. This action of snatching and tearing was repeated. Then the reeve sprang the prime novelâ€" | ty. of the evening. The resignation of | all the councillors was called for, and the statement made that there would be a new election. She claimed they were everyone disqualified and when asked to make any accusation that she had against them publicly, the only | reason given was that they did not supâ€" port her. Another attempt was made to put a motion before the council and the snatching was again repeated. Finally a motion did go to the council and was passed.

Councillor Hawkinsâ€" Councillor Hawkins questioned the reeveasto why mestings had been held under the pretence of the township‘s inâ€" terests without the matter having first been brought to the council for awhorâ€" ization. The disorder in the council chambers was so absolutely unparliâ€" mentarian that Councillior Hawkins said, "I ask you to have this noise cut out, if you are going to control this meeting!" Councillor Kerr asked the reeve if she were not satisfied with the Edwardsâ€"Morgan report. In regard to a personal report of the reeve given to a portion of the ratepayvers, Councillor Hawkins asked her what was the use of putting a statement before the public when there were points of it on which she was not clear. ‘"Bring your documents and prove it." To this the reeve made a slurring reâ€" mark as to documents of the councilâ€" lor‘s. She was asked to produce them also, but the matter simply ended in vague hints that seemed to have no foundation, for no definite charge of any kind was made despite repeated requests of councillors. The clerk read or started to read a moton calling for tenders for garbage collection. The reeve interrupted and said that there would be no tenders, that township work would not be done with the present council at the board. The financial standing of one of the councillors was asked but the answer was that the proper method to find it out be taken. Again the reeve brought up the plaint that the council had not ‘toâ€"operated with her but was asked by councillors had she worked with them. Insinuations were made that councilâ€" lors in the past had sat at the council board and exempted their own taxes. The Porcupine Advance has been reâ€" presented at most of the council meetâ€" ings of the past seven years and this has never been done to our knowledge. Being a councillor does not take away therights of a citizen from a rateâ€" payer. It may have happened on one or two occasions that a councillor would ask for the rebate to which a taxpayâ€" er is entitled on unrented property. In such a case the council would revert to court of revision with the property owner remaining off the board and having to present his case the same as any other ratepayer.

As Russia â€" had what is practically slave labour and sold irrespective of costs the Soviet competition was unfair to the highest degree. It was a North Land newsâ€" paperman, it will be recalled, who first brought to public attention a clause in Russian contracts for lumâ€" ber to the effect that no matter what price might be quoted by any other concern they would go under it.
