_ ‘Increase Due to Collegiate and 1927 Overdraft.â€"Lively Disâ€" & ml’hl«nl Board of Works Estimates. E Grants Victorian Order $1,000 and * y r Praises Their Excellent Work. ® Waterioo Tax Rate ~â€"_â€"â€"Fixed at 39 Mills Mr. M. E. Braendle, secretary ofi the school board, who represented that.body at the meeting, contended that they were not sure that they would have that balance at the end of the year but had to prep#re for Rny unforeseén contingencies. He "€id not think that the surprius of $650 was much to play on. Chairman >Uffelman was also critical of an item for repairs at the Central School which it was intimated were recomâ€" mended by an insurance inspector. It was suggested by Deputy Reeve Toletzki that a provincial governâ€" ment inspector should have been seâ€" cured. Ee said there was no danger â€" After a lengthy discussion of the extimates of the‘ various town bodies and committees and debate as to the curtailing or postponing of certain expenditures which were submitted in the various budgets, the Waterloo council at its meeting last week decided upon a tax rate ef 39 mills for the year as compared with 38% mills last year. An anak ysis of the figures presented showed that there was an increase in the ertimates of the K.â€"W. Collegiate of $8,000 while the council, in striking the rate, also thought it advisable tw take care of part of the deficit of last year. This deficit of $14,000 eccurred through overâ€"estimating the emount of the rebate to be received from the county on the pavements eonstructed on North King St. and West Erb St.. Waterloo, a cheque not being received for the work until two years after the pavement was laid. There was considerable discusâ€" sion as to how much of this deficit should be taken care of this year, the town clerk strongly advocating that at least half of it be provided for which would put the towns finanâ€" cial position in a favorable light. The council finally decided to do this. These two items made neges sary the increase in the mill rate. . Payment of the entire overdraft this year was favored by Alderman Kaufman and Beputy Reeve Toletzki while Ald. Sturm and Mayor Brill favored the same rate as last year which would have provided for payâ€" ing only a small part of the over draft. A motion presented by Reeve Dietrich and Ald. Dotzert that the rate be 39 mills finally prevailed, with Ald. Kaufman and Deputy Reeve Toletzki voting against it. The School Board Estimates In going over the estimates of the public school board the item of $800 fcr changingâ€"the boiler at the Cenâ€" tral School came in for critical comâ€" ment. It was explained by Chairman Uffelmann that the school board had teen asked to cut their estimates by $2,000. The Board, however, followâ€" ing a special meeting, stated that it could not make a reduction. Chairâ€" map Uffelmann noted the the Board Fad made provision for a balance of $650, to which he objected, stating that if every board made similar proâ€" vision it would add several mills to the tax rate.

He thought the police committee could put a man on for nine months ard still cut its estimates $500. Discussion on Roads In proposing a reduction in the Board of Works estimate, Ald. Kaufâ€" man said that when he was chair man of the committee they never spent $6,000 for improving streets. Ee stated that if the residents don‘t want paved streets, gravel them and charge it to frontage which was the ;only way to get good streets.

According to town clerk Zick, the last two councils had no control over the deficit, it having occurred when the rebate on the pavements on King and Erb streets was overâ€" estimated. Mayor Brill. was of the opinion that when pavéd streets become so bad that they have to be patched up they should be torn up and new ones laid and the cost charged to frontage, while Alderman Sturm de clared that if we don‘t pay for patchâ€" ing on paved roads, no wore work should be done on dirt roads. The discussion on the roads quesâ€" tion was concluded by Reeve Dietâ€" rich, chairman of the Board of Works, who stated that several years ago the majority of the streets were impassable when a few thousâ€" and dollars was spent fixing them up for which they should not be criticized. He only wanted to see the streets put in passable condition: They couldn‘t gravel a street and iax the people and couldn‘t charge patching to frontage.

Dear Sir:â€" Editor of the Waterloo Chronicle Last fall the attention of the board was drawn to the condition of the boilers by the Insurance Inspector. As the board were not agreed reâ€" garding the necessity for any change and as the bunkers wore at the time full of coal, it was thought best .to leave the matter over and get expert advice. This decision was reached by the way, before the memâ€" bers of the council had heard anyâ€" thing of the matter. The opinion of the firm who installed the boilers and of an official boiler inspector will be obtained before any change MAKING FAVORABLE RECOVERY In striking the estimates for the year the board included the amount necessary for the work, as if it must be done, it is surely much better to do it during summer vacation, than wait until the boilers are in operaâ€" tion, and until the gaskets break and the leak occurs, making it necessary o dismiss the school and pay for the removal of about sixty tons of coal before proceeding with the work reâ€" quired. â€" â€" Also regardng the criticism re the balance of $651.00 shown in the budâ€" get statementâ€"if the ratepayers prefer overdrafts to balances as some members of past councils apâ€" parently have thought it will be an easy matter for the board to find quite le(ntlimate ways in which to use up ch more than the small amount left for unforeseen expenses. I might point out that last year the »board managed to slightly cut the rate and this year have not inâ€" creased it in spite of the fact that owing to increased school population we have found it necessary to open &n extra room each year.

The commissioners adjourned the in quiry sine die for the preparation of their findings. Before leaving the bench they thanked counséT on both sides for their assistance.
