WET iitATE WILL
• BE 41 MILLS
Over-riding the recommendation of
the finance committee, Seaforbh coun-
cil in an uprecorded vote lowered the
1942 tan rate .two mills at its meet-
ing Monday night. The • net rate will
be 41 mills
The finance committee in presenting
estimates recommended a continuance
of the 43 mill rate. Even at this
rate as -deficit of $417 •was estimated.
With the reduction of 2 mills the es-
timated deficit on the year's business
will be approximately $2,200. Esti-
mated expenditures total $70,42'6.00.
Councillor M. A. Reid, chairman of
the finance committee, in presenting
the estimates, pointed out that while
the town had a surplus, this surplus
had not been acquired. from current
earnings, but rather as a result of
the • council's effort in cleaning up
long overdue tax arrears: Current'
revenue, he stated, was pot sufficient
to cover current expenditures.
During recent years council has ab-
sorbed increased levies., required by,
'bodies not under its control, such as
school boards: This .is the same as
a - reduction in' the general 'rate, he
pointed •out, since had the general
rate. been ,maintained_at its same lev-
el the net rate would have had to
be raised in order to pay the increas-
ed levies of the boards.
The necessity of maintaing a sur-
'ples is now rebognized by the Departs
meat of Municipal Affairs, ;Mr, Reid
pointed out, and the -practise. is being
recommended to all municipalities.
The surplus maintained by the town
proved a definite ,saving ,since inter-
est is received rather than paid out.
Should the rate be lowered this year
there would be no alternative but to
raise it. within two years, since the
source of the surplus—uncollected
tales—would be dried up, he said.

ing • and Hoimes,,spoke along the same
lines, pointing out the, necessity of

County Council Opens June
Meeting At Goderich ; On
Tuesday. -
Huron' County faces an expenditure �
of ,•$1,090,000 ' in the replacement of
old bridges, the county road commis-
sion stated in its report to Huron
.county council ' on Wednesday.
Heavy motor loads are playing hav-
oc with bridges built far, five tons,
and now forced to carry 15. ,tons. ' '
"Since the rubber situation has be-
come serious, and there is a shortage
of labor, it has been the endeavor
of your commission to ' keep the roads
•passable with a 'minimum of w,ork,.
and no , new road' construetiod has
'been started," the report said. There
is, however, a' great deal that must
he done, in which is included, the re-
pairing or re -building of five' bridges
that have failed. Since it is 10 yearp
since any such failure occurred, this
is a very unusual 'obligation.
- The recommendatiottthat the road
levy be the same as last year -n-1.55
inille—was endorsed: nilrearnport em-
phasized that "during these days of
higher prices it is a proper time to
reduce the bank loan,, as .many ex-
penditures held over during the war
will have to be faced after it is over,
..and it is not likely that money will
be easier to s•ecure."
Owing to the rubber and gasoline
situation, it was advised that no snow
plowing be done this winter. This
was left to the discretion of the com-
mission. a Action on, requested add'i-
t'ions to , the county road system was
deferred until after the war..
The total estimated expenditure on
roads for maintenance for 1942 was
set at $91,250. Equipment that will
probably be needed will cost $80,500.
Council opened its June session
Tuesday afternoon when Warden
George Armstrong expressed the hope
that council would not reduce its tax
rate this year because of possible re-
duced road •ex'penditures following the
lowered provincial subsidies.
"I 'believe," asserted the warden, in
a pay-as-you-go policy and the carry-
ing of a small surplus" '
The Hydro Electric Commission, in
answer to a resolution prbtestin'g
against the discontinuing of rural e17
ectric service, advised that - the real
reason the commission is prevented
f"om extending the rural service is
because it is unable to obtain the nec-
essary... materials for this purpose. Tlie
-Dominion Controller advised the Com-
missioa last October that due to the
acute shortage of material such as
steel and copper, it was necessary to
eliminate all rhral line extensions.

I received the cigaretteswhich you
and your fellow members of the Can-
adian Legion sent me, and. wish to
thank you all very much for them. I
sure appreciate getting them at this
time, as I expect to go on my leave
any day now, and my, supply of cig-
arettes was very 'small. So again
thanking you: .for the gift and wish-
ing you all the best of luck. I re-
main, yours truly: WM. KELLEY.
On Active Service,
Just a few line§ in appreciation and
thanks for the three. . hundred Sweet
Caps I received from you today. It
certainly is very kind of you to think
of me over here, and I certainly ap-
preciate it. You should see the 'smile
on us when we get cigarettes from
Thome, because when ave have to. buy
them here they cost a shilling for 10
cigarettes,so it is pretty expensive
smoking when We ,have to buy them.
I just came back from seven days'
leave last Friday. I spent it with my
wife and we;had a grand.time. Buzz
Dale . and Bob Smith ar'e. still going
strong. I guess you have seen 'Gurly'
Bolton by now, at least I hope he has
landed home safe. We haven't heard
from him since he left here. He
eame up and said' good-bye to us. This
war certainly 'doesn't look so hot just
now, but I think we 'Will come out on
top some of these' days. Would you
tell Arn. Westcott' for me that I re-
. ceived the ide}itification disc okay
from Tuckersmith Township; it is a
nice one. 1 told my folks to tell them
that I got it, but I guess they never
act the letter. •
Well news Is scarce, so 1 will ring
off for now. • Hoping to hear 'from
you again soon. And thanks a million
for the smokes. ••So cheerio. As ever,
