tiii:':"-"::'-': THE WATERLQQ CHRONICLE Sup-rate fret County Says Board at True At the Waterloo Board ot Trade meeting on Tuesday night Mr. Mel Snider presented a full and tho- rough report on the relation of the town of Waterloo to the county, He stressed the tact that Waterloo should have separated trom the county years ago and that now it may prgve to be more dig-Walt, Vol. 89, Ne, g Mr. Snider said that Waterloo may reach city standing in 1968 if present growth is maintained. otherwise about 1979, Waterloo in l947 will pay 2tsper cent of coun- cy expense, more than one-tN, the highest on record. The County Road Committee has set aside a re- serve tor future operations into which Waterloo has paid $18,000. The report also stated that the 1942 assessment for Waterloo is ”.135 per capita while Kitchener and Galt's is $825, Waterloo pays at- most five times as much as either Kitchener or Gait for roads and uses them less. It separated Water- loo might save $508522 in 23 years before becoming a city in 1968, The town of Waterloo in 1948 tee iiraiiiiii GsaGiGrot $7,471,557 but this when equalized for county purposes becomes $10,891,142. In a discussion after Mr. Snider) reported mat Reeve Hilliard who! represented the County councit," while not committing himself as hung in favor of a break-away or, 'remaining with the county. gaveI data in support of the county, buti explained that his idea was merely to give a fair picture of the setup. Reeve Hilliard said that a compara- l tive cost with Kitchener is not con- 2 elusive in its results, pointing out; that Kitchener is out of line, not Waterloo. I "It is the general feeling among many county men that Kitcheneri suburban road area should be well over 40 miles," said Reeve Hilliard l Once these suburban road areas we put on a proper basis Water- loo's costs will decrease with Kiteh- l ener's so that no appreciable differ- _ unce- will exist. The reeve contended that the main points of A. M. Snider's ana- lysis did not appear valid but he stated that Mr. Snider should em- phasize the road cost situation with the department and this way make it easier to get the change in sub- urban road areas. W, H. Timmis maintained that Reeve Hilliard's argument failed to prove why Waterloo should stay in the county His motion asking town council to take steps to sep- arate from the county was second- chby H. J. Beasley; In reply to C. F. Thiele's question as to why Waterloo has remained in the county “all these years" Reev Hilliard pointed out that it has been more than 20 years since any town has been given the authority to separate from a coun- ty. Reeve Hilliard pointed out that it Trade should ask the town council to appoint a citizens committee to undertake the task of separation.

McLeod, said the new Weed Con- trol Act, which came into etteet June 6, will provide means for a determined attack on weeds along Ontario’s roadsides, on farms an in urban municipalities. Leafy spurge. which sends its roots many feet down, is becoming a detlnite menace to this province, the inspectors were told. Although leafy spurge has been known in Ontario for several years, it was only during the recent war that it attained alarming spread. Farm Force Is Swarmed by City Students The problem which faces the Ontario Farm Service Force now is how to place the thousands of high school boys and girls who are anxious to work on farms this summer. A month ago it appeared as if the camps would have only skeleton staffs. It was. revealed by Director Alex MacLaren that 2,200 girls have registered with the O.F.S.F, Approximately 1,000 are actually in the camps or have been provided with transportation while another 500__wil} be_placed by ngy__1. The boys' camps at Burlington, Holland Marsh, beamingum and Blenheim have been filled, while a fifth camp is to be opened at Harrow at the end of this month. The five camps will accommodate some 300 youths.

Would Relieve Veteran Settlers Of Farm Debts Of the original settlers only HS per cent of the settlers had ac- quired title to their land and of the Will]? who started only 6.153 were still on the land. The average debt still outstanding was $1.254. _ orrAWA.-Robert Fair (SC. Battle River). objecting to a Com- mons resolution providing for a bill to amend the Soldier Settle- mom Act, rvnewed his efforts to have cancelled outstanding d_e_bts " veteran settlers of the First Great War. The bill which the Government seeks to introduce deals with inter- (st rates, Mr, Fair opposed the re- solution. “Tho 5 per cent interest charged vvterans of the First Great War is a steal and the 7 per cent on ur- u-ars tti a greater steal." Interest rate under the bill would no set at " per cent. Mr. Fair said the treatment given soldier settlers had been a violation of the solemn pledge of Sir Robert Borden when he was Premier in 1917 that the Government and the country would yltow "ppriciation to the men in thr "trccs, Resuming ttii, drhatc after the timncr room“. Mr, Fair said some of the veterans. even though they were "loaded down" with debt. volunteered to fight in the Second Great War. To satisfy the Treasury Board, the Government was taking money trom the wwos and children of lhvse veterans. That was their rt ward for fighting in two Great Wars Mr Fair sand the Government would incite a "revolution" if it Imposed on the "new" veterans the 59"]? conditions applied to than who fought in 1914-18. J A, Brooks stated that the pro- posed hill would ratify two Order» m-Council passed during the wu- which meant a reduction of $1,850.- 000 in the debt of the old soldiers. The veterans themselvec ap- proved of the legislation, and the manure was unanimously pin-ed m the Veterans' Committee. -Prol. J. yawn Hmyitt, hi“ M A WE
