An analysis will reveal increases or decreases, as the case might be,) Mayor Pleased Mayor G. W. Nott expressed his pleasure that the tax , rate had been held in line for 1952, and complimented the Finance Com- mittee, consisting of Ald. M. J. Agnew, D. M. Pegg, and Reeve W. J. Miller, as well as the Treasurer. In submitting the estimates, the Finance chairman, Aid. Ag- new, said that estimate's were higher in a number of depart- ments of civic government than actual expenditures had been in 1951, still the day had been sav- ed through the surplus of ap- proximately $10,000 accruing from the sale of "wartime" housing property during the past year. Ald. Agnew said Council was levying for a surplus of some- thing over $500, which should be sufficient leeway during the coming year. Town Treasurer M. T. Corless stated that the total outstanding arrears of taxes was $3,3e1.28. which indicated collections at a very high level indeed. Town Dump Condition Dr. R. M. Aldis, medical offic- er of health for Huron County, wrote as follows: "Your !attention' is drawn to the neglected condition of the town dump situated in the Town- ship of Hullett. It is suggested that more supervision be give to prevent the accumulation "of refuse outside the pit and on neighboring property, Extra fill may be needed adequately to cover present and future dump- in gs, "Within the town, there also is large accumulation of waste, par- ticularly in the business section, A municipal collection plan, eith- er by contract or direct service, would improve this situation," The matter will be looked after. Help for Reliance Reliance Petroleum Limited wrote that the public used its service station on Albeit St., at Princess, as a "general traffic turntable" arid stated that it was impossible to keep it in good condition. The firm requested some assistance from the town, with the result that the follow- ing motion was pasted: "That the Mayor ands the enem- bees of the Street Committee be appointed a special committee to meet a representative of,,Relianoe Petroleum Limited to give cen- sidekation to the matter of pav- ing a certain portion in the area of the Reliance Service Station, that a date be set and the Clerk be authorized to arrange with the coinpahe's representetive." Aid S. W. Gliddon, chairman of the Cemetery Simard, thanked Council for its decision to extend the vvatermain to the cemetery. Mary St. Drain A Motion was passed "that the Town Engineer be retained to melte ae investigation of the Mary St, drain, particularly the outlet thereof, and report to Council his findings with a view to inipeov- ing the efficiency of the Said drain," '- she was yet a child, the family Congrattdations and best wish- proof Maas pprtitiou, one part "Stoii" Signor Reeve Millet brought the Revision Of Bylaw • P. an The hawkers' and peddlers' bylaw now in force in Clinton May be revised shortly, it was agreed-at Monday evening's Town Council meeting. After hearing a strong case put forward by W. le. Williams, local baker, in support of "teeth" in the bylaw, and some discussion, Council decided to instruct the Bylaws Committee to consult the Town Solicitor, consider all ang- les, and present a recommenda- tion. Mr. 'Williams• declated a "very unfair" situation existed in Clin- ton, in allowing outside firms to do business here with a $2 lic- ence fee involved. He thought it was "an insult to the taxpay- ers of the town" to have such a bylaw in force. He pointed out the disparity in investment of the small busi- ness man as against the large corporation coming in to do busi- ness. "Let us protect what we've got, look after ourselves," he said. "Let us restrain these over- anxious money-grabbers." Ald. L. G. Winter read the by- law in force in.the Town of Brampton which sets a $100 lic- ence fee for outsiders, and gave instances of hardship in this county, (V Mayor Nott, Aid. Agnew and Crich, and Reeve Miller, all agreed that some action should be taken, Aid.
