Increase in taxes in Usborne
Toweship wa$ held to one mill
Monday night when council set
the 1957 levy.
Residential rate Is expected to
total 37,5, compared to 36.5 in
1956, providing the township
school area levy remains the
same, which officials anticipate,
Tax on commercial property
will be 39,5 an increase of three
mills.
Main reason for the increase is
the township's contribution to-
ward construction of the Morrison
•Dam and bridge, a Mile east of
Exeter, Usborne's share of the
Cost, equivalent to the expense
of erecting a bridge, has been set
at $18,720, 80 percent of which is
contributed by the Ontario De-
partment of Highways.
Secondary reason for.the hike
is that the township reported a
deficit on last year's 'operations.
While the corporation still carried
over a large surplus from the
yearbefore, its amount was less
than the previous year,
In adopting its budget, the
council decided it would require
1957,0exclusivne tof local hpublic
school rates. With estimated rev-
enues other than, taxation of $31,-
211, the balance of $80,789 has to
be raised by taxes. •
The township rates for farm
and residential property was set
at 8,15, and the commercial levy
at 10.151. Other rates include:
county, •12.75 • general school, 2.1;,
and high school, '1,0.
Council agreed to make appli-
cation to the Ontario Department
of Highways for an additional
$10,000 road expenditure appropri-
ation to provide for payment of
$18,720 .to Ausable Conservation
Authority as the township's share
of the cost of Morrison Dam and
bridge.
Two applications for tile drain-
age loans of $800 and $1,500 were
'approved by council.

For Control Of ,Pollution
•
A. M. Sniffler of Waterloo, chair-
manof the Ontario. Water Re-
sources commission, announces
a Comprehensive .program for
controlling water pollution
throughout the Provin%e is now
underway. ..
Following a meeting' of thee.
Commission, Mr. Snider said
that legislation, approved by the
Ontario Legislature at the seri,-
session, authorized the Commis-
sion to undertake 'such a pro-
gram. The objectS
i to ensure,
e,
clean streahts and water bour-
ses and make these waters avail-
able for all normal uses -...domes,
tic water supplies, industrial
uses, fish and wildlife, 'and re-
creation.,
T h e Commission chairman
said a good 'start already has
been made on the program and
outlined some of its procedures.
' "Construction of new sewage•
treatment plants and extension
of existing plants are necessary,"
he said. "These will be : built by
the Commission• or the munici-
palities themselves,
"Treatment ,plants for all 'in;
dustrial wastes, sufficient to pre-
vent adverse effects in streams
also are most necessary, while
complete and regulon inspection,
of all outlets and drains tovater
courses is being undertaken with
corrective measures a p p 1 ie d
where necessary." •

e•tan to occur.
Under these circumstances ar-
tners would be well advised to
keep a very close watch on all
grain fields, and to be prepared
to attack the armyworm when it
strikes.
Several chemicals .maY be
used effectively to control the
armyworm either as a poison
bait, a spray or 'dust, Where suf.,'
fietent man -power is ,available
the poison bait method is the
least expensive and very little
grain would be damaged while
spreading the bait it the field,
In order to spray the field, of
course, a tractor must be driven
through the grain, but the 'dam-
age caused by tractor is 'very
slight.in comparison to the dam-
age which en be done by army-
worm. The most common spray
used is Aldrin 20% Emulson .at
the rate of one-half 'gallon of poi-
son in 30 gallons of water per
acre.
The most common signs of ar-
myworm on oats are eaten
leaves and grain on the ground.
In barley the .armyworm will
eat the leaves and the awnsand
may remove •the barley head.
The' worm itself is green in co-
lour usually about 1% inches in
length and will be found utider
clods of earth, in cracks in the
soil or under ani- protection dura
ing daytime. They may .be found
OR the leaves and stems of the
plants during the evening and at
night.
I understand that supplies of
siutable chemicals will be 'avail.
able should a more serious out-
break occur.,
