Clarke in Decision to join the Ontario Mayâ€" ore‘ Association was deferred until last night by council, after much voicâ€" ing of opinion at finance session on Friday night. Reeve Herr‘s suggestion that the finance committee table it until Mayâ€" or Bmith of Kitchener can be queried as to whether the Association would stand behind ‘Waterloo‘s quest for comsideration on the government‘s new income tax legislation was passed by the committeo. Mr. Heer pointed out that membership in the Ontario Association of Municipalities would be much more benefit to Waâ€" terloo, the latter association being able to give reports on government legislation, and on reports of the Mayors‘ Association conferences. Council Defers Action on Joinâ€" ing Group Whose Petition Council members could not see where the Association had benedfitted ‘Waterloo, it being the Mayors‘ body which had asked the government to tuke over Old Ago Pensions and Mothers‘ Allowances costs. ‘The govâ€" ernment did, but is keeping the inâ€" come tax formerly co‘lected from municipalities, which will cause a loss to Waterloo this year of $9,800. "Is it to be our attitude that we are to drop out of the association beâ€" cause we have lost out so far", Ald. Honsberger asked. Ald. Welker sugâ€" gested the council was losing a lot ofi time quibbling about a $5 fee. Nol. 81, No. 10 Town To Build Mayor McKersie questioned wheâ€" ther the town had ever benefitted from its past memberships. "On the other hand", said Ald. Sturm, "we can‘t expect the mayors of other towns to do our work: we‘ve never seen it happen where a municipality will do the battling for another." A joint office in the basement of the town hall to serve as headquarâ€" ters for Dr. C. K. Mader, Twin City Food and Milk Inspector, and for R.

Welker said the Board of Health also would want space in the town hall shortly. finance committee of council unaniâ€" mously decided Friday night. _ _ Of Mayor‘s Body TO PURCHASE COAL Was Costly. L Mayor McKersie in his report on the delegation‘s meeting at Queen‘s Park two weeks ago with Hon. David Croll, Mimister of Municipal Affajirs, eaid Mr. Croll had promised Waterloo every consideration possible. The minister did not know of Waterloo‘s loss, since the town is within the county system, and expressed his surâ€" prise that the towns‘ loss could be so ereat. and wou‘d mean an extra mill at least on the tax rate. Mayor McKersie said the delegation had told Mr. Croll the town would strike its 1987 mi‘l rate and if difficulty was experienced, a copy of the esâ€" timates would be sent to the Minisâ€" ter, Mr. Croll repeatedly asked the de‘legation for suggestions. l "It‘s discouraging after the way previoums councils have strived to keep the tax rates down," Ald. Heer stated. "On the other hand we can feel proud of our citizens in having so few receiving the two social serâ€" vice pensions. Mr. Croll‘s statement that Waterioo could get some monéey ‘back through relief channels is a sore epot, and a reflection on our record of financing anr own relief during de pression years. ‘ Ald. Frickey took issue with the delegation for not taking the local member, N Asmussen, with them to meet the minister, feeling that the presence of the sitting member would 1ave weight. Mayor MoKersic and _ "No bill is ever passed in the Onâ€" tario Legislature without a rider atâ€" tached", Ald. W. D. Brill said Friday n‘ght at finance moeting in expressâ€" ing hope that Waterloo would receive some adjustment on its $9,800 loss through the government taking over and keeping municipal income taxes. "Waterioo is being penalized beâ€" cause it is one of the munictpalities that collected municipal income tax", said Ald. Brill. Windsor will gain tremendously, not collecting much of the tax and having a great expense for Mothers‘ Allowances and Old Age Pensions". Ald. Brill said Mr. Croll had intimated that the Old Age Penâ€" sions would shortly commence at age 06.

They pointed out that another policy for $7,000 from a Waâ€" terloo firm cust a promium of only $39.50 for three years. The agency piacing the former insurance was to be asked to explain to council Monâ€" day night its rates. We shouldn‘t sit back and let the irsurance companies te!l us what we have to pay", said Ald. Sturm "We may be paying more than necessary." Ald. Welker remarked that Waterâ€" Ino‘s fire protection today was the most efficient in its history. _ The committee also renewed insurâ€" ance of $2500 on the sewer farm house on $500 on the barn at $19.06 for three years, placed with the A. K. Cressman agency. Ald. Wolker felt the insurance on the barn was too low, but the policy was ordered reâ€" newed without change. Ald. Brill disagreed, saying that Waeâ€" terloo had to state its own case and Mr. Asmussen could not have helped. Clerk Norman ‘Bolduc told the counâ€" cil he had tried to contact Mr. As mussen to arrange the appointment with the minister, and failing, had arranged the interview direct. ‘The $7,000 insurance policy on the town hall was ordered renewed.
