fields, we should be even more
proud of someone who did well
at home.
Mr. Dinsmore, he said, brings
a wealth of experience and'
knowledge to council. He has
had previous council experience,
as well as police experience.
Referring to financial mat-
ters, the Mayor compered the
situation •a year ago and now.
.:`Our tax arrears were, $63,000;
our bank overdraft $64,000. Al-
though we, had a tax sale com-
ing -up, this had been•neglected
for years.' I,: found it was a
compulsory -annual affair and
I can assure you 'it will be put
on . every year from now on.
Asse>;sment had not been fully
reviewed for years. I made a•
careful study of the operation
of our office- and found many
things to criticize. We have had
a housecleaning and already
there are signs .of a big im-
.provement.. An estimate of tax
arrears for Jan. 1, 1962, is
$54,171.00, compared to $63,000
and the bank overdraft, is ap-
proximately $29,000, compared
to $64,000. This is ran improve-
ment, but we can go a long
way yet."
Describing a dm in i s"trative
changes he had introduced, the
Mayor said he anticipated a
greatly improved operation in
the future. He paid tribute to
Clerk Lyle Hammond for the
way he had assumed the re-
sponsibilities of office in such a
short time,,
Suggesting a new committee
arrangement that would para-
le11' accountiing requirements,
Mr. Daly said that he would
not sit as an active member of
committees as in the past, since
he would be ex -officio a mem-
ber. He had acted as an active
member last year, since he had
wished to personally supervise
many changes in procedure.
This year he would anticipate
that committees would assume
greater responsibility.
Looking to, the new Lem, ; he,.
saw the three ;rain projects
facing council; as l'mprovement.
in storm drains, extension of
sewage facilities, and rebuild-
ing of Seaforth streets. He saw,
too, a requirement for increas-
ed industrial promotion, for
face-lifting in blighted areas,
and for ,a low cost housing pro-
ject.
