I am plsased to report an increasg in our ; ~~ulation of 788 for the year; thethird highest increase in our hsâ€" tory, making â€" ourâ€" total â€" population now 15,338, â€"a population greater. than that of _nine of the. ~Ontatio cities.â€"Our total assessment at presâ€" ent is 7,159,535, an increase . .of gm.m over : the : previous _ â€" year. uilding permits granfed for the year numbered â€" 197, ~representing . building to the value of $364,093.

Notwithstanding this reduction â€"~ in the rates and the improvement in the service, the Light Commission â€" have been able to pay into the _ Town ‘Treasury out of theirâ€"net profits a sufficient sum to reduce our tax rate by one mill. â€" The year J912 will be marked <by mary municipal undertakings . of large proportions; money byâ€"laws have just been passed for the . expeniditure ~ of $100,000 on the waterworks system, and some $20,000 on other. public en terprises. â€" Municipal ownership â€" â€" of public utilities has been a pronounced success in Berlin and has attracted the attention of and has been. comâ€" mented on by the outsidé press. .
