The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1935-02-07, Page 6THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1033 THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE “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. | Total Receipts and Disbursements ] General Account, 1934 explained in detail the county for the Huron state- all fiFNFBAT MATADC A NT NT A TT NT f" F C FAR 1QQC vJEi W CiJK1 UPJt*Sfc CT CT ** CT vJtiSr * JK Xw vd ■ ■ « CHEVROIFT TRUCK LINE ;’V: 1 MIME LEW M TRUCK MOTTOS Panel Truck, 131* wheelbase, delivered at factory Oshawa, Ont.

First, there is its rather high price in comparison with the price of other feeds; second, the lack of definite information regarding ifi?' use; and third, a variability in the product. ' f 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 maintenance ration of breeding ani­ mals, hut the percentage used should be ’lower than that normally includ­ ed in the growing ration.
