Aa will be seen from the proceedings of the Town Council �n another column, Wingham's tax rate for •this year has been planed at 24 nelIs. This is one shill ;iigher than la; t year. The tax rate last year was mode np of one millfor county rate, stxte al mills for town rate and 6 mills for public school rate. This yearthiecounty ate takes twomilla, -town rate fourteen it ills, public school six and a half mills high school one and a halt. mills. It alt be seen from the above that the r to under the con- trol of the Council is two mills less than last Sear. The increasing of the rate being caused by n extra mill for county rate, extra b mill for public school rate and the a and a half mina for nigh sohool purp sea. Wingham is not yet taxed as hea�,y as is the case in many other towns, bat our rate iaplenty heavy enough, and another year will probably see it drop •o 24 mills. telephone B dly Needed.
