Of. M Issues Annual Statements
Shows Increase' In Most Phases
Kew .high levels in practically
every phase of its operations
here,. throughout Canada and
in six .countries abroad are re-
ported by the sank ..of Montreal
in its 146th annual statement.
The figures were provided by
Kenneth Flett, manager of the
Clinton branch,
Commenting o n t he state-
ment for the year ended ()etc.),
ber 31, he said B of M assets
rose by more than $260 million
to record $4,275 million, At
,'he same time, loans of all
kinds, to individuals, businesses
and municipalities, totalled $2,-
419 million,
Total deposits at $3,961 mil-
lion, "included Canadians' per-
sonal savings, of some .81,987
million, which showed an in-
crease of $103 million in the
year.
Record Earnings
Earnings of more than 940
offices at home and abroad, al-
-o. reached a new peak at $16,-
747,023, the manager reported.
The figure is $733,516 more
than in 1962. 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,

Speaking at the Tuckersmith
Township nomination in Sea-
forth, Monday, councillor Art
Varley predicted that "in our
time" we will see some of our
roads black-topped.
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.

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.

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.
