Waterloo Township is also inâ€" terested in the dam construction although for a different reason. The city‘s main interest is from a flood prevention and water conâ€" servation angle. The township looks upon the dams as a means of replenishing some of the waâ€" ter that has been taken from unâ€" derground sources by the cities, as a means of recreation and conâ€" servation of â€" wildlife.

In several places in the United States, communities ate granted the right to use some underâ€" ground water but before so doing, they must show they are able to replace the water they are using.

Or do they plan on having all committee members take a secrecy oath so they can‘t mention anything to their wives ' I 1 Pohpreoe s 2oR omn ies o e e eeees Proba?:-ly the same men who framed this bylaw would be the first to scream if any of their preâ€" cious freedom was infringed on in the least. Yet they would deny the voters of the township the right through a free press of knowing what they as elected reâ€" presentatives, are doing If the press is determined enough, the probabilities are they will come up with a report of all committee meetings. If there are discrepancies in these reports, then the council will have themâ€" selves to thank. J {MLS. Road conditions are bad in buth Waterloo and Kitchener .

I Had to laugh while catmgl breakfast this morning, we heard | a broadcast from Walter Bowes in which he commented on the numerous starlings in Hamilton causing the fathers of that city a great deal ef concern. . o. m ie en nsc s A suggestion had been made that five hundred shooters be emâ€" ployed ~every now and then" to shoot these filthy birds. It was the commentator‘s opinion that Hamiltonians should leave the ciâ€" ty when the shooting started and take refuge in Toronto. We have heard some bright sugâ€" gestions in our day, but this one takes the cake. Who in the dickâ€" ens was ever safe in Toronto ... at any time? Even if there were five thousand shooters, Hamilton residents would probably be safer Thousands of shots have been fired in Waterloo during the eraâ€" dication of these birds, but there has yet to be a person hurt or even a window broken. This deâ€" spite a turnout of hundreds of youngsters and adults every time there is a shoot. There is not even any supervision b{l the local poâ€" lice. They feel such a move is not necessary considering the care shown by the shooters.

The year previous the city had the second highest percentage of tax collections of 20 Ontario municiâ€" palities. The city‘s percentage in 1953 was 98.50, equal to the 1952 record of Hamilton, which was tops in the province. Of a total roll of $1,007,267 last year, the city collected $992,202. In 1948 a total of $423,699 or 98.9 per cent was paid D. C. Schaefer, tax collector, pointed out that the amount of interest and penalties on late payâ€" ment of taxes totalled $1,.869, compared with $1,459 in 195‘2. The increase in the rate of penâ€" alty on current taxes from oneâ€" half of one per cent a month to one per cent has resulted generâ€" ally in a more punctual payment of taxes. The percentage of arrears colâ€" lectedâ€"79.15 per centâ€"was also the highest since 1948 when the -{i;ofi;t'r'ébrmemed 28.9 per cent In) 1952 the‘total was 74.55.

With the poll tax doubled from $5 to $10, Waterloo received $4.â€" 495 in poll tax in 1953, compared to $2,200 in 1952. l The increasing amount of taxes in Waterloo is reflected in com-' parison between the yeats 1943 | and 1953.
