two others with whom he was tied township council had a hectic few they are evelyn paisley daughter intimites on saturday when they of mr and mrs harry paisley j were called upon to strike the tax to break the for 1936 aud discovered that the rate pointed upward over three mills for general township purposes alone the county rate is up a quarter mill also while relief a quarter mill is a separate assess ment this year iii accordauce with instructions from the dept of municipal affairs whereas hereto fore it was included in the general township rate councillors said it would not make good reading but try as they did no way out was devised to escape the apparent sharp increase abso lute honesty maintained in determ ining to give the ratepayers the facts it was decided to get right on two matters heretofore allowed to sort of slide for instance some years ago there was borrowed from the clergy resoive5015 which was never replaced auditor roy andrews recommended that this should be refunded over a period of years thus in the general late there is provided 502 as first payment likewise a few years ago four it was said the council did not pay the total school levy raised handing over only 60 per cent before the end of the year and retaining the i 40 per cent until the beginning of the next year this improved the general statement for that year and ever since it has been necessary to issue the 40 per cent cheque early in the year as balance of the past years levy and again in the fall a 60 per cent cheque to each school on the current levy this the council intend to correct accordingly will raise 505 as a beginning to refund the total over a period of ten years these two items account for a levy of fourtenths or less than half a mill in the general rate reeve rao called attention to these matters but said the real reason for the increased taxation was that the township had carried 3000 in assets last year which proved to be false and were written off thats not all the reason for the increase and anyway you were a member of last years council observed deputy reeve toole mr rae held that had council known the assets were no good they would not have counted on them when they struck the rate last year roy andrew auditor said council overspent last year chiefly on roads several thousands including the writeoff of the false assets a new hall was built and paid for without increased taxation in 1335 the new rate he believed would put them on sound footing provided expenditures were kept within this years estimates the increased tax is largely due to even

proposition outlined in this paper last week to build a tarvia top on the road around musselmans lake alone the lines set out in thearticle and agreed to by the members of the lake musselmans ratepayers association in fact president wm evans brought the matter to the attention of the tribune and re quested us to set out the proposal in typo as we did the distance from ballantrao to tho south shore of lake musselman around the lake and north to the first sideroad and oack to ballantrae is slightly over four miles if the road could be built with the rate payers bearing a certain cost the municipality a set amount the county and ontario government a gocdly proportion tho proposal ought to lie advanced rapidly if the proper so called spade work is done this fall by way of contacting tho proper parties it is still possible that this road could he surfaced next year and the cost to the farmers of whitchurch would be no more than they are paying now for mainten ance tho ratepayers association should have met tho council last saturday when in session but there is still time to do so in september although many of tho cottagers return to their city homes before this meeting comes

isaac brillinger living in tho east end of the village were at home on sunday afternoon when mr and mrs ab raymer drove up with horse and buggy and they brought with them mrs john grove living on baker avenue also mrs david lehman of toronto was pre sent the combined ages of these six people will well exceed 480 years and may almost touch 500 mr brillinger we believe was s3 only last month

group in respect to ages for she is in her 87th year mrsbrillinger and mrs ab raymer are both in their 80th year whilo mrs grove is also an octogenarian this party was not prearranged but rather accidental and we never re call just such an interesting group casually assembling in such a simple manner friends or more than half a century they represent the sur viving link that binds the present
