The following are the special rec- ommendations made by the -finance committee: "Meeting Of the Finance Commit- tee +held at the office of the Town Clerk, on 'Monday, the .115th day of January, 11914, present Messrs. 'Hud- aott, Broderick, Robert Eberhart, members of the committee, David Wilson, Town Clerk,' pro tem, the Mayor and Town 'Solicitor, John J. Haggard. "Your committee went through the tax ,roll for the purpose of ascertain- ing what taxes were over one year in arrears and the names of the persons owing sane. Annexed to this report is a statement showing taxes more than one year in arrears and also in- cluding the 1933 taxes, showing the names of the persons owing same, The total of such arrears aggregated $9;291.94. There was a large number in arrears for the year 19313 only but your committee did not deal with these. "Your committee recommends that immediate steps- should be taken to collect the arrears of taxes shown on ,the statement hereto annexed, The town solicitor eras consulted with reference to what steps should be taken and he recommended that a close enquiry should be made in connection with those persons, whose taxes are three years and over in arrears for the purpose of ascertain- ing if there is any lileeltlto•od of ob- taming payment and if not, the pro- perty should be duly offered for sale, under the provisions of The +Assess- ment Act. On the properties on which taxes are not three years in arrears, and also some three years in are'ears, a seizure should be made, under the distress provisions of, The Assessment Act and also in some cases Suit might be entered against those persons from whomit was likely that collection could ,be made. ' "In connection with the arrears of taxes of the Wolverton. Flour Mills and Avon Chests 'Limited, your com- mittee recommend that the town solicitor should be instructed to en- quire into the present status of these two companies and the possibility of collection. "Y.our committee 'feels that while the Chief of Police occupies the posi- tion of collector of taxes, neverthe- less, be has not been instructed to exercise all the duties of that office and it is recommended that he should be advised to enter upon and duly exercise the duties of tax collector and that, in accordance with the pro- visions of The ,Assessment Act, he should be bonded. It was pointed out by the solicitor to your committee that the provisions of the Assess- ment Act, as to bonding the tax col- lector, are imperative. (Respectfully submitted, Isaac Hud- son, chairman." McKILLOP MUTUAL HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of the mem- bers of the McKillop Mutual Fire Insurance Company was held in the town hall, Seaforth, on Friday, Feb- ruary 9th, at two o'clock for the bus- iness of receiving reports, general business and the election' of directors, 'Owing to the severe weather the attendance was s'm'all.

"This, I believe is a very satisfac- tory showing when many 'Companies have been forced to show a deficit. "This should greatly encourage each member, and by careful co-op- eration believe that this can be mat- erially increased each year until you will have a Company second to none in security and a material reduction in insurance cost. However I would like to point 'ottt that this can only be achieved by a material . reduction in ,fire losses, In looking over old loss statements 1 find that your largest losses have al- ways been under thecause "un- known." I wander if there is a reason for this. I believe there is. And I fur- ther believe that if each loss had been carefully analyzed and records kept that some interesting facts would be brought to light. Can these losses be avoided? Yes, to a marked degree. How? By the co-operation of every member. This Company is yours and should be your interest. If you know of any policyholder who is overinsur- ed or some other phase that makes his risk a hazardous one, advise one of your Directors. He is worthy of your confidence or should not be a member of your ,Board, and I assure you that any recommendations receiv- ed will be confidentially and carefully considered by your .Board. ]Before concluding, I would like to explain briefly some pleases of your 'Policy. In the first glace your Com- pany is one of the fen- who issues a policy 'without a limitation clause on livestock and dwelling contents. 'Pro- vided you insure for at least eight' per cent of the total value of your livestock, as defined by the Insurance Act, there is no limitation. I would ask you to investigate the majority of other Companies' policies. They all .have a limitation clause. Then again in hpuseho'ld contents you find a limitation on radio, piano, etc., not so with your Policy. If you instal a one hundred and fifty dollar radio to- day and to -morrow it is a total loss by fire, your policy calls for cash va- lue, not $05 or $50 as stated in many policies. Many applicants to other compan- ies are not aware of these conditions and if they were advised they would prefer to pay a higher premium and be fully protected. "I would also like to explain the new application. This has been re- quired by the Insurance Department. This application does not permit the accepting of insurance exceeding two- thirds of actual cash value on build- ings, implements, household contents attd tenants' produce and full value on owner's produce and 'livestock. This application also asks for a stated amount on farm produce and on live- stock and not jointly as formerly. I might say that this is the only form ac�ceptable to the Insurance Depart- meit now and in this the form of ev- ery Company will be concurrent, "Iii conclusion .I would like to state that 1 endeavor to keep records and '(Continued !out Page Five) NORTHSIDE W,M.S.
