Taxes amounting to $4,910.25 were collected in February. Council received a request for rebate of business and property taxes on the British Exchange Hotel, which was destroyed by fire last December 4. The letter, writ- ten by a Toronto solicitor on be- half of owner Harry Levine, asked for a refund of taxes covering the period from the date of the Are to the end ,of the year. The re- quest was referred to the Court of Revision for decision. Goderich Public Library Board, which has been operating with the help of .an annual grant. of $5,000 from the town, sent Council a re= quest for $5,500 this year.

Council also approved use of the park by Goderich Pipe Band for a tattoo on July 26, and the Gode- rich Trotting and :Arieultural soeiation was given permission to hold races on June 1, July 1 and September 2. Fire Precautions Informed by Councillor Robert- son that the fire extinguisher is missing from the horse barns at the park, Council referred the mat- ter to the fire committee. Coun- cillor Peter S. MacEwan suggested it might be wise to have several pails of sand on hand at the barns in case of fire. The milder weather prompted some other remarks which Council- lor Robertson addressed toMayor J. H. Graham. "It's coming near spring, Your Worship, and the robins are start- ing to sing," he started off, almost poetically. He suggested that citizens be in- formed, through an advertisement in The Signal -Star, that trees are available for planting if they would like to beautify their boulevards. The Ontario Government has de= cided upon a change in the method of levying taxes, Council was ad- vised in a telegram from William K. Warrender, minister of mun- icipal affairs. Council was in- structed not to set the local tax rate until further information has been received from the province re amendments and grants. W. PROCTOR PUNERM.
