REIJEF ESTIMATES
DOWN ih MILL
Seaforth ratepayers will pay taree
this year based on a net rate of 43
mills for public school supponters and,
42.5 mills for separate school Sup-
porters. The gross rate will be 1,mill
higher- in each case, the deetection,
being made possible by the perevintial
1 mill subsidy. The rate was set at
a special meeting of council on Mon-
day evening.
The net rate is an advance of 1
mill over 1936, which is accounted for
by Main Street sidewalks which are
being laid this year and which are
being paid out of revenue rather than
by issuing debentures. In this way
the council is able to save the rate-
payers a large sum in interest and
other costs. •
An encouraging feature Of the esti-
mates is the reduction of le radii seen
in expected relief expenditure. Dun
ing the past year the monthly outlay
for direct relief has been greatly re-
duced. Indigent hospitalization costs,
however, show a tendency to in-
crease.
Estimates as presented provide for
a total expenditure of $55,314.26.

were to walk down Whitehall, a short
distance, and turn off to your right
through a short and narrow street,
you would presently come to a smalt
and narrow house A weather-beaten,
smoke-stained, three - storey house,
built of brown brick, so inconceivably
insignificant in appearance that you
would wonder what it is doing in
Whitehall at all. Semi-detached, and
hardly that; just one of three dwel-
lings built together. In a land where
a house of any pretensions at all
bears a name, this house has none;
nothing but an anohymous number:
No. 10.
No. 10 Downing Street
It stands close to the pavement,
from which a plain iron picket fence
separates it. Its facade, its doorway
and windows, are quite destitute of
ornament or grace.
Yet No. la Downing Street is with-
out doubt the most interesting, the
most fascinating, the most romantic
dwelling house in -the world. So it is
now; so it has been for over two hun-
dred years. Each of its last fifty -odd
tenants, without exception, has been,

it a name -plate with an old-fashioned
inscription: "First Lord of the Trea-
sury"—the old-fashioned title of the
Prime Minister of the United King-
dom of Great Britain and Ireland.
The house was built by George
Downing, a colleague of Sam Pepye,
and described by that accurate ob-
server as an "ungrateful villain." At
the Restoration, he betrayed to their
deaths bis former Puritan comrades -
in -arms, and was. rewarded by Charles
II with a grant of land in Whitehall,
where he built Downing Street.
Curiously enough he was a gradu-
ate of Harvard, having spent his
youth in the American colonies. The
property passed into the hands of the
Crown, and was eventually bestowed
by George II upon his prime minister,
Sir Robert Walpole, who dedicated
No. 10 in perpetuity as the residence
of the First Lord of the Treasury.
And so it came about that the other
day Mr. Chamberlain had to pack up
and move into No. 10 with his house --
hold goods. He did not have to move
far for he was living up to that time
at No. 11, which is the official resi-
dence of the Chancellor of the EX -
chequer.
It must be remembered that No. 10
