tinaitcial support fur. band, purposes.
The proposed rate of one-half of one
mill will mean an additional fifty cents
tax annually per thousand dollars of
assessment. To ' the average rate-
payer
atepayer this will •mean an annual tax
contribution of from forty to eighty
cents in support of the town's Baud.
Since its inception the Blue Water
Band has been organized, equipped and
maintained on a basis of voluntary
donations. This has meant that com-
paratively few have contributed fin-
ancial support while nearly everyone
has shared the music and other ser-
vices of the band. •Most progressive
citizens agree that • a well uniformed
band is an appreciable asset to our
town and it is general opinion that a
small tax levy is the better way to
equalize its support. Elsewhere in this
paper the band's annual financial re-
port is presented as evidence of the
financial commitments necessary to a
banes of this standard. A financial
statement will be published each year
by the Band executive. •
In answer to an irresponsible, state-
ment, recently made by an aspirant to.
municipal office, Gte Band executive
states definitely that no member of
the Blue Water Band ever has received
financial remuneration in any form, in-
cluding our leader, Mr. John] Huckinfs.
The entire band membership are inter-
ested, solely, in providing music to the
best of their ability and in adding to
the prestige our town.
Goderich for some years was without
the services of a town blind. We now
have--a--musical organization second. to.
none in Western_ Ontario, fully • uni-
formed and fully equipped. - Through-
