The speaker went on to say : "As you know, the past year has been a week strenuous one for all of us. We see by the press that the Federal and Provincial Governments appear to have fallen short in balanc- ing their budgets by sub.tant lal amounts.

Moreover. we have been able to pay- and have paid the counay rates for 1931 amount - lag Io $12.29/0.62. .133 addition to the rates for 1990 amounting to $13,24&75, which were unpaid when this year's council assumed otter.

The &airman of the finance committee, Councillor BUS: will later present the financial talaiient, which i consider most satisfactory, and I know that you who have had an opportunity to study the same will agree with what I have said. The recapitulation on pages 21 and 22 of the printed financial state. meat gives a summary of the finances for the year.

COMMUNITY CHRiSTMAS TREE The violent rainstorm on Thursday afternoon last made It impossible to earry out the program In connection with the eommunity Christmas tree, and the scent was postponed to Mon- day afternoon of this week. A great crowd of children and some grown- ups gathered to see Sahta Clans (Mr. S. D.

Three hun- dred -pounds of candy and OU pounds of mixed nuts were used in the Ming of the bag.

Asgnith k Sen, Auburn, be- ing summonsed for failure to make a sales tax return In connection with their business as manufacturers of evaporated apples. In August last the tax was removed from evaporated ap- ples and the exemption wax made re- troactive to June. The firm made their return for August, but not for September or /subsequent months, having in the meantime learned of the removal of the tax.
