The gederleh Signal -Star, Thrd uue 704 1942 a Ouderieh tax rate -for th Year an residential prop, erty is•down.six and a half millsifrom last year's, at 71.3, and on business, as,sessinent is lower by 5.2 mi4s, at 77.5. On residential (and farm) ,assessment, the general rate is 28.4 mills, for collegiate 14.4, public and selyarale • 6chools 15.8,- and for Huron county 12,7, The combined • school rate', 30.2 mills, compares with 34.82 litst year, and this drop, assisted by proyineial grants, represents two, ' thirds of the decrease, but th. general rate is 1.2 'mills lower, and,o, slight drop in the ,cotinty rate accounts for the temainder. • The Break -Down Translated into the amounts to' be raised IV taxation, the total of $543,466 is, divided as follows: general purposes, $26- 539; education, $224,355; county, $92,574. Keeping down th,e, ambunt to be raised for schools are the provincial grants, which for 1961 totalled $178,576. A mining payment ef $39,932.- 85 (on the rock salt mine pro- fits assessment) was subject of comment by. Mayor Fisher after council on Friday evening gave all three readings. to By-law 15 "to adopt the estimate_s , and strike the rates." "I am • quite happy with the 'reduction in the mill rate," his worship said, "and I am. sure the citizens will be. It is due to many people, and I congratu- late the council committees up- on keeping withintheir estim- ates. Boards- and commissions have done the same. We wound up last year, with a surplus, and in 1962 the boards ..,and commissions have carefully scrutinized their appropriations and held them to the line as far as they could. "We must congratulate the -Ontario Department of Mines for' their contribution.. I think. a lot of it is due tv the—way the former -prime Minister of Ontario helped us out. When he laid the cornerstone of the' new hospital; he and I and Mr. MacNaughton had a little dis- cussion on this, and I think it expedited things. We regretted his going out, and passing the reins to Mr. 1;tobarts may have expedited this," (The mayor'S allusion was. to prolonged correspondence con- ducted with Ahemines depart- ment,' then headed by Hon: James Maloney, the resultant classification of ,Goderich as a mining town and establishment of its eligibility for Mine pro- fits tax, in addition to ordinary taxation: of surface property.) "I would like to repeat that I think a lot of this credit is due Mayor Fisher," said Reeve Frank Walkom,' finance, chair- man. "Approaching Premier Frost at that particular time he succeeded in getting action that I know we would not have had otherwise." • A. C. Beaudreau, a supervisor of municipal administration, department of municipal affairs, was in town on Friday and gave his OK to the estimates and budget. ...Council has .. budgetedfor $543,468 from taxation, ComPar- ed with $539,660 last year. The reduction in mill rate is prim- arily due to' the raining pay- ment of $39,932. The uncondi- tional per capita grant from the Province IA Ontario, $19,000, re- presents 4% milts, on the rest, dential and farm assessment. Exclusive of school grants, hro- vincial aid totals $85,19). A -reserve of one mill for fire equipment, placed in last year's budget, and now carried into 1962 revenue, helps to take care of the new pumper. The lire department budget this year is $46,000, compared to $13,500 last year, on account •31 the new equipment being paid for out of current revenue. Street lighting is to cost an estimated $26,300, instead of $12,000. 'Public school estim- ates, $110,500, are down by $4,500, collegiate expenditure about $1,500 higher at $10i,960. Recreation and community services are estimated to cost $63,000, a little less than in 1961, with the main items as follows:. parks $13,500, arena committee , $12,000, cemetery .$7,500, library $7,250, harbor $3,000, recreation committee $9,500, MacKay Hall $2,500.. Total estimated revenue for 1962 is $757,640, With ea,timated expenditures leaving a ,surplus. of --$588. WEST ST. CAR COLLISION DAMAGES ARE .$2,1b0 , A rear -end collision on West street, at 12.40 a.m. Sunday, caused $2,100 damages to the two cars involved. A 1962 Chev- rolet, 'belonging t� R. D.

J. ten Hoopen preached on the subject: "Christ the Head of the Holy Catholic Church."' • , "The ectunenical spirit of the Church is growing everywhere," Mr. ten Hoopen said. "I think the day is ahnost over in this country, only for a few places, when a Protestant minister will attack.a neighgbring minister bn ° "The guidance for our unity is in the words of our Lord UNINTENTIONAL DISTRESS SIGNAL • LAYING 4,000 FEET SUCTION PIPE FOR SHIP ISLAND JOB Cool, cool water and an equal- ly cool northwest breeze held down atetndance at 'Harbor beach over the week -end. A good representation of prospec- tive bathers confined their out- ing to sunning .anct strolling during Sund# afternoon. A few perch were hooked but the anglers were a mite less than enthusiastic about piscator- ial proclivity. Meanwhile, Mi. Sam Argyle .took time to point out that the Union Jack on the Snug Harbor flagstaff was fly- ing a distress l signal. Accord- ing to protocol, the wide white diagonal stripe on the Jack should be flown at the.,top and against the staff. Snug Harbor was flying itt; upside down, re- cognized in most harbors as a signal of distress. Perhaps it will be left thataway until the weather warnis up or the perch start biting in earnest. Back at Ship Wand, Ernie Porter and his crew of nine men. are -busy- -with-. the preliminaries of the island removal. Three scows and three power shovels have arrived on the site, With a suction dredge and drill boat expected shortly. Now in pro - dress is the laying of 4,000 feet of suction pipe mounted on steel pontoons. The Cement. plug in -the river -to -harbor tun- nel is posing a problem but the original plan of using the tunnel :for suction transport is still in order. Drilling of the plug will start later thig week. From 10 to 34 feet of over- burden, resting atop the island, must' be removed—by—suction dredging before the main rock substructure 'can be 'blasted but. A staff. ,,of 50 men, working a six -shift 24-hour day, will ,be employed on the project as soon as 'the preliminaries are arrang- ed. Qne interesting item is the three -ton orange -peel robk bucket -aboard one of the scow's. As its name implies, it re- sembles an orange with the peel partly rolled back. These' giant scoops are manufactured only in Germany. - Mr. --M .J.Atkey,oFLWinnjpeg, Manitoba, visited at the week- end with his mother, Mrs. G. Atkey, and his sister, Mrs. R. W. Hughes, Dr. Hughes and family. when he said: By this shall all men know that ye are my' disp ciples, if ye have love to one another.' We speaktabout sep- arated brethren and put all the einphasis on 'separated,' not brethren. 'There is an appalling lack of any demonstration of love between the two divisions. "In order to .accomplish the command of our Lord, it will de- mand the giving up of our pride, and -of the feeling ;of superiority, the spirit of intoler- anceand., acts of persecution on both sides.. Those pt. tile Orange Lodge should not mis- understand this, for I was brought up on Soil that fought 80 years for religious freedom, and your King William came from thy native country." . The choir sang the 'anthem, "0 Saviour of the World," and at the offertory Mr. L. Dotterer played Bach's L„Air from Suite in D. . Flags of the lodge were borne by W. Bios. Percy Blundell and Charles Rtiffell.
