would 'mean two mills on the. dollar

would "carry itself."
Asked if ' he 'didn't think it, would
be difficult to put -across- a bylaw for
$150;000; Mr. Chapman said the towns-
people should realize' that a recreation
centre is needed in Goderich, especially
for the children. The taxpayers
wbuld have- something to show for
their money..
Coun. Brereton said he thought it
was far beyond th'tability of a town
the size of Goderich to handle. such a
proposition. There were other things
needed in -the town. The condition of.
the sidewalks on 'the Square was a
disgrace. he declared, and it would be
easy to run the tax rate •up 'to 57 or
58 mills. They were still "getting hell"
