Reeve Replies
To Charges
Crediton, Ont.,
Dec. 15, 1952.
in reply to Mr.
of December 8.
To the Editor:
I am writing
McCann’s lettei’
I feel I must answer this letter
to vindicate the 1952 council.
I was not ignorant of the fin
ancial mess we had to clean up
in January, 1952, and made the
statement at our first meeting
that taxes had to be increased
to meet the deficit of unpaid
bills.
Mr. McCann’s report is correct
as far as he went. He did not
mention unpaid bills carried over
to 1952. These bills are as fol
lows:
1951 Grand Bend Tax
Levy ........................$11,237.99
Paid to Grand Bend
in 1951 .................. 6,000.00
Balance unpaid ......... 5,237.99
Unpaid bills presented
at January meeting 8,152.82
Total unpaid ..............$13,390.81
»In January, 1951, unpaid bills
amounted to $1,494.18, a differ
ence of $11,896.53-—a consider
able amount more we had to
pay in 1952 than in 1951. In
1951 there was only $506.94.
I did not include $915 spent
in January for tires for the
grader which had been left in
the yard without tires.
Mr. McCann reported a bank
loan of $10,000 unpaid. Today
we have no bank loan. Debts are
less than $1,000.
I don’t think I have been mis
leading. The 1952’council speaks
for itself. Stephen has had a
peaceful year.
Let Mr. McCann forget his
grudges. Christmas is near.
Yours truly,
John A. Morrissey

Questions concerning neigh

munities were discussed by the
Revere Farm Forum at the
weekly meeting Monday nivii
at the home of Mr, and Mrs.
Floyd Dykes.
Leaders, Mr. Wass, Mr. Perrin
and Mr. Mullin read several ex
tracts from the Farm Guild
Magazine and after the secretary
read the questions, four groups
were formed for discussion. The
questions were: “If there is a
community centre in your area,
what contributions is it making
to the life of people in your
forum?” and “How could your
community centre be improved?’’
Many of the members thought
that the schools best serve as a
combined community centre and
educational centre.
