On the new equalized assessment of $1,024,235 the 43 mills will raise a total of $44,042. Last year on the old assess­ ment, 54.6 mills raised $35,124. Council had hoped for a 40-mill rate but indigent patient costs, along with other increased costs, necessitated the boost.

Under plans of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, the 2,700 square miles of part wilderness, larger than Prince Ed­ ward Island, will, over a period of years, be gradually brought back to where it was when it was first estab­ lished in 1893. Admittedly, this is a long-term plan. But, henceforth, no new leases will be granted for cottages or tourist camps.

At present, no leases are granted in ' other Provincial Parks such as Quet- • ipo in the northwest section of the ■ Province, and Sibley Peninsula in the Port Arthur » Fort William Dis- . trict. [ Fearing that commercialism might ; enter Algonquin Park with the en­ croachment of so-called civilization, the Government has decided to return to the original policy as laid down . by a Royal Commission in 1892, In the Algonquin Park Act as passe'd by the Legislative Assembly of the following year, a summary declared. “The pro­ posed Act was intended to provide a public park and forest reservation, fish and game preserve, health resort and pleasure ground for the benefit, enjoyment and advantage of the people of the Province.” Vast changes have taken place since that Act wasvpassed. A highway was built across the southern end of the park and about 500 leases for con­ struction of cottages and camps were granted. But, even so, control has been main­ tained over the years. There are no unsightly billboards, honky-tonk re­ freshment booths or gasoline stations even today in the big park area. There are numerous cottages on the lakes adjacent to the highway but few off the road and, by following the age-old canoe trails leading to the north from the highway, holidayers can still be in relative wilderness within a few miles. By reversion to the original plans, however, it means that no new roads will be built leading off the main highway, no cottages with private fac­ ilities which would prevent the ordin­ ary citizen of the Province from camping where and when he chooses. James Dickson, then inspector of surveys, in his original report to the Royal Commission of 62 years ago, declared: “I would strongly urge that neither moose, deer nor any fur-bearing ani­ mals should be either hunted, taken or killed in the proposed Park for all time, By doing this, the province will have a large breeding ground and harbour of refuge for her game. As the Park becomes stocked, they would naturally spread out into the sur­ rounding country and the whole pro­ vince would be better stocked than it is at present.” That was one policy which has al­ ways been followed. Hunting is still prohibited in the Park, and bear, deer and, other animals walk fearlessly on the road and around present cottages and camps. Fishing is allowed, how­ ever, and, in accordance with the or­ iginal plan, streams and lakes have been stocked over the years. In addi­ tion, some years ago, a plan of alter­ nate closure of lakes was inaugurated and Nature's methods of propagation have made fishing as good today as it eVer was.- Lands and Forests officials emphas­ ize that there will be no drastic meas­ ures taken to bring about the return of the original plan. Persons at present owning cottages or camps in the Park will be allowed to- remain. It is estimated that it will take 40 years before the occupied or leased land will revert to' the Crown. But the day will come when Algonquin Park again will be owned and con­ trolled by all the people of Ontario and “no trespassing” signs will be ended for evdr in one of the conti­ nent’s most noted Wonderlands. NEIGHBOURS AID GREY FARMER About 95 farmer friends of Henry and Gordon Beaton, of the fourth con­ cession of Glenelg Township raised the framework for a barn to replace the one destroyed by fire June 13, The frame 45 feet by 10 feet was raised by block and tackle with driv­ ers of four tractors stationed on the four sides holding the guided ropes. The barn has been dismantled and transported from the farm of Robert Peart, GJenelg, by neighbours about a week ago. Sheeting and closing in the barn and the roof is expected to be completed in a few days in readiness for the hay crop. Harry Allen, Mt. Forest, supervised the barn raising and John Gibson Durham, wag framer assisted by Alex Stonehouse, Glenelg. 1954 WINGHAM’S 75th ANNIVERSARY JULY 31, August 1 & 2 SPORT SHIRTS AU new 1954 stock in Grey, Tan, Brown, Blue Satin Yokes.
