last week at the regular meeting
of council.
Comparison with last year's
rates is rather confusing and diffi-
cult as Lucknow ,,and all munici-
palities 'in Bruce County, are now

decrease to raise the same amount
of money.

tance from the province with in-
creased grants has helped to make
this possible. The new mill rates,
with last year's mill rate in brack-
ets, had market value assessment
