T11e province is buying the deb- entures at a rate comparable to that secured by a good municipal credit on the public market, Pur- chases from the first two applic- ants, the towns of Georgetown and Southampton, were at 9,5 per cent, The program implements the 1970 budget announcement that the goverrinlent will help smaller municipalities with their capital borrowing needs. "We are not encouraging munic- ipalities to borrow, " Mr. Mac Naughton emphasized, "llowever, where essential capital projects must be financed, we want to ensure that smaller municipalities have the same opportunity to provide facilities for their citizens as do larger centres." I -Ie pointed out that the current review procedures of the Ontario- Municipal ntarioMunicipal Board, which gives local ratepayers the right to question capital expenditures, will continue to apply.

The Treasurer also stressed that municipalities are encouraged to secure capital financing from other sources if they can get better rates of interest, "Municip- alities may sell their debentures in the public market, if they prefer, " the Treasurer stated. "Tile citizens in many of our smaller communities have been in the habit of purchasing local debentures at a rate of interest slightly below that of the market. This practice is commendable and should be encouraged where ever possible." In the 1970 budget, the Treas- urer promised to provide $10 mil- lion for capital financing by all municipalities under 10,000 pop- ulation. Subsequent consultation with municipal leaders, including the discussions at the Provincial Municipal Conference in April, indicated that the population level should be raised to 20,000 and that the amount should be. increased. Prepare Soil Now For Fall Bulb Planting Spring -flowering bulbs planted in early fall generally produce better blooms than late -planted bulbs. horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Agricult- ure and Food advise digging the bed well in advance of planting. Bulbous plants do best on a medium sandy loath soil but will do well on a wide range of soils as long as adequate drainage is provided, heavy soils may be lightened with the incorporation of sand and organic matter, Well - rotted manure can also help in raising the fertility of the soil, Early fall planting will allow the bulbs plenty of tittle to prod- uce roots and become well estab- lished before winter, These bulbs can then start growing at the first sign of spring t o give the best floral display. bulbs can be planted until rhe ground freezes. These bulks, however, cannot be expected ro give their best display as their root s) steles must develop in the spring before flowering can begin.
