“W
Treasurer’s Report ■MM
The report of the County Treasur
er, A. H, Erskine, as presented at
the January meeting cf council on
Wednesday, is as follows: Mr. Er-'
skine expressed strong optimism for
the future and
the finances of
past year.
"The close < f
a financial standpoint, exceeded the
predition I made at the December
session. AU accounts show a sur
plus. The General Account closed
the year with a cash balance of $6,-
304.16. In addition to this there is
owing the rebate on the October
quarter of Administration of Jus
tice. 'There are also Hospital ac
counts owing by municipalities.
The Provincial Highway Account
had a cash balance of $1220.48. The
County Highways account has an
estimated surplus of $2518,36. On
these accounts the total surplus is
$10,0 43 after paying off $45,000 of
a carry-over from 1933. The coun
ty is therefore $55,043.00 better off
than a year ago at this time. When
you consider that this has been ac
complished without an increase in
the mill rate, the year 1934 certainly
notes a marked change in
County finances. Detailed
ments have been prepared of
these accounts and will be incorpor
ated in the January minutes.
At this time I can give no definite
prediction of the 1935 mill rate. The
bill for construction and mainten-j
ance on provincial highways will be
the governing factor in setting the;
tax rate. I have written concerning.
this bill and before the close of the j
session expect to present it before1
council.
The notices of lands liable for tax
sale in 1935 has been sent to all
municipalities concerned. I enclosed
with these notice forms for the as
sessors to -complete and return, I
would like the various reeves to see
that these forms are completed.
These forms verify the description
and location and materially help in the proper listing of lands for sale. *
Assessors must notify the owners of
lands liable for sale, notification to
be mode on assessment slips.
Appended to this report is a sum
mary of 1934 accounts. A copy of
these reports and the detailed, state
ment is on file in my office and is open to inspection of all members of T^an^paid
-council. |

The feeding of fish meal has been
confined largely to swine,, but it has
also been used successfully for dairy
cattle, and in a limited way for
other stock. Growing market animals
and milking cows seem best adapted
to utilize efficiently fish meal and
other high protein feeds combined
with carbonaceous grains. Fish meal
is relatively mgre valuable for rapid
gains and high production than for
maintenance. However, fish t meal
may be included to advantage ,in the

be ’lower than that normally includ
