Only a few of the men had to be picked up and be transported inch to the training centre. The trainees were in full battle kit. .carrying loaded haversacha, web equipment and rifles. Camp transport vehicles brought up the rear of the long procession which was witnessed by many thousands of Twin City citizens who took time off from the usual Saturday morning rush and waited patiently for the parade to pass.

In October, accord- ing to Secretary J. P.

The situation is causing line-ups at the office, and the extra work for the staff of pre- posing new bills. This is felt to be unfair to both those paying their bills. and to the P.U.C. office staff.

The same citizen, how- ever, on reading the chart, finds he is assessed $1.72 annually for cleaning and oiling of city streets, $1.45 for parks. and recreation, $2.48 for sewage disposal mainten- ance and efactly $5.01 on the standing sewage _debenture debt, Delving into the matter of the 42% mill tax rate, the chart shows that 14.75 mills go toward educa- 'tion; 2.74 to administration; 5.45 to health and sanitation; 2.45 to high- ways and streets; “.91 to civic park expenditures; 6.40 mills to protec- tion of persons and property; 5.75 mills to public welfare department; 5.51 to the general debenture ac- count; l.43 mills to other public services and enterprises and 1.59 mills to the "miscellaneous" ac- count. Police protection costs Mr. Tax- payer with the $2,000 assessment exactly $3.49 per annum and fire protection $4.23, while direct re- lief comes at $2.45. lrregardless of when he himself may reap the benefit from his investment, he pays 63c each year toward ceme- tery upkeep and $1.29 toward pay- ment of the eity's House of Refuge account This year, he pays the city ap- proximately $22 for education, public school and collegiate. Elec- tions cost the same citizen between 19 and 20 cents. Cost of education is represented by approximately 15 mills or more than one-third of the total levy of 42)f mills, aroyding to the gnu}. While large sums are spent an- nually in other ways, cost of edu- cation is much greater than any other single departmental expendi- ture. Next highest comes "Protec- tion", including tire and police de- partments, estimated at $174,789 this year, "charity and welfare", $157,000 and "health and sanita- tion", $148,995. Exactly $402,856 of the $1,283,- 786mbecollectedintaxesin Kitchener this year, will go toward education, according to the "do you want to know where your money goes" chart gammred by City Treasurer Louis .
