distance hauls to market. The project
was favored in polling divisions 4, 5,
6 and '7, and the ratepayers o h
f these
divisions have, since been saddled
with the financial burden. By 1912 the

had 'a $125,000 liability on its hands.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1947
Payments oommenced that year to
meet interest charges only, and until
1938 ratepayers in the four polls had
a fl e -m'
v 111 levyto meet this interest
charge. From the sale of the Town-
ship's share of material that was to
build the line, a sinking fund was
established. With khe fund wisely
invested, plus the sale of the right-of-
way in recent years- to the Highways
Department, the Township had - ac-
crued a fund of 5000 by "1933
and
d $7 ,
met their obligations by issuing a
350,000 ten-year debenture at 3r/2 per
cent. Since then the debenture levy
was 4 mills to raise an annual aum
of betweett 55,800 and 36,000. The 4
mills on the 1947 tax bili, is the last'
collection on the 550,000 debenture;
which will be retired when
it fails
due on 'August 15th, 1948. This West
Shore millstone has meant from 528
to 524 annually on the average 100-
acre farm in these four sub -divisions.
