He said that if governâ€" ments can hold the line on spending in their budgets then taxpayers may look forward to a two or three mill tax reduction. Later Ald. Carroll found that this clause was designâ€" ed to protect females from possible physical abuse. the driving instructor. ‘‘Its purpose was to proâ€" tect a weak female or a female from a male weakâ€" ness," said Ald. Carroll. Now the bylaw. once passed by council, will alâ€" low either a male or feâ€" male student, at their opâ€" tion, to have a third adult in the car during driving instructions..
