Provision for tax- es is $18,204,530. The bank's more than 22,500 shareholders are receiving divi- dends of $2.15 per share, or a total of $13,061,250. The manager said that smith closed their dump for the winter, ratepayers/ took their refuse to Seaforth. He suggest- ed Tuckersmith give some con- sideration to helping Seaforth keep the road open in winter. Consideration over the dump was promised by Reeve Thomp- son, Other reports at the meeting were given by: Alex Chesney, Huron County weed inspector; Cleave Coombs, a member of the school area board; George Falconer, CHSS representative; A. Y. McLean, on behalf of Scott Memorial Hospital. In his report, Mr. Falconer said "the past year had been the roughest he had had since becoming the township repre- sentative. He was property -chairman. Tribute for his efforts was expressed by Reeve Thompson, who told the ratepayers their representative was one of the hardest working men on the board. "quick" 'assets amounted to $1,966. million, representing 48,4 percent of the bank's liabilities to the public, against 47.8 per- cent last year. This reflects the bank's traditionally strong liquid position, he added; The valuation of bank Pre- mises is shown at $69,091,403, compared with $85,878,133 in 1962, an indication of the bank's continuing program of branch modernization and ex- tension in this province and elsewhere, James Livemore, Clinton Resident For 'Many Years A large crowd of former friends and neighbors gathered at the Beattie funeral home on Friday to pay their last re- spects to a resident of Clinton for 80 years, James Livermore.

Noting that the amount • of gravel applied had risen from 10,000 cubic yards to 14,600 in the seven years he had been on council, he said he did not know whether they were doing the right thing in regard to road construction.

YOUR VOTE AND INFLUENCE SOLICITED MONDAY, DECEMBER 2 For Transportation to Polls, Please Phone 482.9523 Early Vern Alderdice, RR 2, Kip- pen, who was named for an- other two-year term on the area school 'board, gave some insight into the problems being faced by the board. "We're getting to the point where changes hove to 'be made," he stated, referring to proposed school centralization of some type. Noting the controversy over the formation of central schools in Usborne and Hay Townships, he said he hoped something could be worked out satisfac- torily for Tuckersmith. He indicated there had been some thought given to certain pupils in the township being sent to schools at Egmondvil-le; Hensall and Clinton, if this could be arranged. This brought a disagreement from former reeve Art Nichol- son, who ,said he favoured build- ing a school in the township, rather than sending students to other centres and losing the 'assessment. He said that with increased enrolment it would probably be necessary to build a new SchOol some time, and added that it should be done rather than "I'm afraid it's going to get out of hand," he stated, adding that the opinion of the road superintendent and the grader operator was that there still wasn't enough gravel being ap- plied, even with the increase. Varley told the ratepayers that the gravel supply was be- coming very. short, and that it was all coming from outside the township. . He said d'ue to the diminish- ing supply, the gravel cost would result in an increase in the mill rate. The seven-year council vet- eran explained that had a one - mill rate each year been appor- tioned to black-topping ten years ago, there would have been a goodly amount of work already done. Varley added that the one mill would have raised $3,300 and with a 50 percent grant from the government, a nice bit of construction could' have been undertaken. • "it,should have been done be- fore," he commented. In, seven years the rate had , only increased from 8.7 to 9.0 and he felt this was low in com- parison to many townships which range from 12 to 15 mills for township purposes. Reeve Elgin Thompson also noted that something would have to be done about the dust situation, as it' was no use putting on gravel and have it blow away. He said there would have to be more gravel and calcium ap-, plied. School Question Outlines Work ReeVe Elgin Thompson made a detailed report of the work undertaken by council during the past year and also reported on county council work. In reference to the township, he said the problems had been varied and many, but council had accomplished some of the things they had hoped to, He noted in particular ,t,hc straightening of the road ilk?" Egmondville, the construction of the new fire hall in Brucefield and improvements to certain railway crossings. He said his council were con- scientious men and "we owe them a good deal of credit". Thompson also commended the clerk and assessor for their good work. Councillor Victor Lee noted the extensive spray program undertaken on the roads during the past year, and said he felt it would be much better than the "spot" projects which have been undertaken in the past, He told the ratepayers coun- cil had not had very many livestock claim's due to maraud- ing dogs and foxes. Ervin Sillery pointed out the accomplishments of the year had been clue to the "team work" of the councillors. While he said the back taxes were not too high, he question- ed if more incentives shouldn't be considered in an effort to get the tax money in on time. The reeve pointed out there was an allowance of six per- cent given for pre-payment of taxes. Greetings f'r 6 m Seaforth council were brought to the meetnig by Carl Dalton, who called for `some better arrange- ments between the two groups in regard to the dump situation. He noted that when Tucker- sending students to other cen- tres. "Stick to your own town- ship", he urged. The other trustee appointed at the meeting was Ken Gib- bings, who was named to re- place George Lovell. Neither man was at the meeting, and Frank Falconer paid tribute to Lovell's work before he had moved' out of the township. The financial report of the board was given by Ivan For- syth, who is also township as- sessor and a former reeve. TOWN/ MUNICIPAL OF PROCLAMATION ELECTION.

Dollars went to ,L`.• wk n96 ori 13 .., Kenneth Flett, Manager Clinton Branch , Bank of Montreal This is my personal report to the customers of my branch on the use the Bank of Montreal made of the money you entrusted to us in 1963. Nearly one-half of the total deposits of $3,961,675,039 at the Bank's year-end on October 31st, 1963, were the personal savings of our customers. From this total deposit figure—highest in our 146 years of operation —loans totaling $2,419,627,136 were reported. Much of the money you deposited ,at the B of M went to assist people in financing the purchase of things that materially improved their way of life — cars, home improvements, household goods of all kinds. A substantial amount was also invested in loans to small and large businesses encouraging them to expand and employ more people. Your money helped create new industries and new jobs—assisted farmers in improving their farms...built new schools and brought higher education within the reach of students...constructed new roads and sup- ported all kinds of community projects. Virtually every community throughout Canada was aided directly or indirectly by the money you put into your Bank of Montreal account. Your savings dollars did a man-sized job for many people in 1963. And, accumulating at interest, they are growing steadily as a sound investment in a better future for you. For the Bank of Montreal and for myself, may I say "thank you" for your trust and for the assist you are giving us in helping to build a more pros- perous Canada. m my DANIs r, 16enitaX1/1 ats r TO 3 '1111110N CANADIANS ....,. 4......
