deputy reeve jess cook councillors george leary herman kidd and herbert wells declaring that the upkeep of the lake wilcox road to yonge street had become well nigh impossible and that money spent on gravel was simply wasted former councillor lorno p evans headed a deputa tion of lake ratepayers asking the council to endeavour to have the road taken over as part of the county system which would lead to a hard top being built that would stand the heavy traffic upwards of 3000 cars passed over it on a summer sunday said mr evans who offered to circulate a petition if the council thought it would help impress the county authorities the proposal as outlined by the com mittee was to have the road desig- nated a countv highway from yonge quent visitor to mr wellman and gtreet to the lake

passed in 193g providing for replacement to the school accounts of the 40 per cent levy held over the end of each year in order to dress up the general account mr kidd held that the 40 per cent levy due the schools should be paid from out standing back taxes as the full levy had been collected each year and council should not collect the 40 per cent a second time i am strongly of the opinion that the 505 you levied for this december and will continue to levy far under the bylaw is inadvisable it is only cutting up the account said mr kidd after members had argued the matter pro and con mr
