Council set the rate last Tues- day night at 75 for commercial and industrial properties, 70 for residential and farm. The county levy requires ap- proxiamately one mill of the in- crease and the public school hike amounts to about five mills. Secretary - treasurer Robert Reaburn explained that the pub- lic school increase resulted from a deficit in 1960, a decrease in the provincial gov't grant and raises in teachers' salaries. The decrease in the provinc- ial grant involves funds raised for the construction of the new school in 1957. By investing the debenture receipts in short-term securities, some $2,700 was real- ized in inteerst over a period of several years. Although these funds actually went into the countit budget, they have been charged against the school board as revenue by the depart- ment of education, which re- duced its grant accordingly. Mr. Reaburn indicated that the board hoped its levy would be a "little lower" next year engineer; Ayodeie Okusaga, chairman of the Nigerian West- ern Region Housing Coroporation; Mrs. Ayo Rosiji; Chief Ayo Rosili,.

The move results from nego- tiations with the co-op, which objected to the closing of a portion of York street which would be given the firm ac- cess to No. 4 highway.

This plaque will later be placed in the reception area of a building yet to be built. Although completion of the building of the entire hospital is scheduled for January, 1963, it is believed that the hospital will be ready for occupancy late in the fall of 1962. At the moment, the working force is running at about peak employment. There is a total of 150 men working on the hospital site. Of this number about 75 are working on sub trades. This number keeps fair- ly constant since as men on some sub trades complete their work, men on other sub trades move in.
