TAX RATE STRUCK AT 40 MILS (Continued from page 1) woulcl be put to a good use in the construction of permanent roads and part would probably go to aid the cemetery committee in their work. He explained that additional ,expendi- tures in arranging for the new course at the Collegiate Institute were in part responsible for the slightly higher rate than had originally been forecast, but that a three mill reduc- tion was quite in order. Speaking on the street situation Reeve Livermore said that he would be in favour of issuing debentures for a certain amount to be spread ov- er a period of years to take care of improvements. In this way part of the burden of building permanent streets would be passed on to the rising generation. Building permits were granted to W. S. R. Holmes for erection of a garage, to Chas. Elliott for building addition and remodelling building for dairy purposes, and to Jack Murch for erection of a dairy building. After the reading of the financial report for the month some discus- sion took place on the relief situa- tion. Last month $173.21 was spent for relief which was considered good by the acting mayor who stated that according to the Relief Inspector, Clinton's relief bill was among the lowest for places of a similar size in the county. It was moved by Mc - Goan, seconded by Trewartha, that no further meals to transients be given ,and relief to local residents would be cut off except in cases of extreme need. This to ,be left in the hands of the relief committee. The Women's Institute asked per- mission to clean up and beautify the Mary •'street park. This was one question on which a quick decision could be made without a dissenting vote, and it was left in the hands of the Park committee to meet repre- sentatives. of the Institute and ex- press the approval of council.

He explained that additional ,expendi- tures in arranging for the new course at the Collegiate Institute were in part responsible for the slightly higher rate than had originally been forecast, but that a three mill reduc- tion was quite in order. Speaking on the street situation Reeve Livermore said that he would be in favour of issuing debentures for a certain amount to be spread ov- er a period of years to take care of improvements. In this way part of the burden of building permanent streets would be passed on to the rising generation. Building permits were granted to W. S. R. Holmes for erection of a garage, to Chas. Elliott for building addition and remodelling building for dairy purposes, and to Jack Murch for erection of a dairy building. After the reading of the financial report for the month some discus- sion took place on the relief situa- tion. Last month $173.21 was spent for relief which was considered good by the acting mayor who stated that according to the Relief Inspector, Clinton's relief bill was among the lowest for places of a similar size in the county. It was moved by Mc - Goan, seconded by Trewartha, that no further meals to transients be given ,and relief to local residents would be cut off except in cases of extreme need. This to ,be left in the hands of the relief committee. The Women's Institute asked per- mission to clean up and beautify the Mary •'street park. This was one question on which a quick decision could be made without a dissenting vote, and it was left in the hands of the Park committee to meet repre- sentatives. of the Institute and ex- press the approval of council.
