In times like these Hensall has no great rea­ son to complain. The taxes have been paid up to about the usual at this time of year, we have no one . on relief, our municipal debts are being paid when due and next yeari should see a substantial reduction in the tax rate as there will be no more levies for cement roads and al­ though we hear of some other places in the county being in splendid fin­ ancial condition, Hensall has a great deal to show for the money spent and outside of our school debentur­ es our municipal debt is very small and in 1933 we should have again the lowest tax rate in the county.
