For four years I was overseer of four and.one half million dollars, and I had to show a profit from it “Figures show a lot to me, and a lot to you also,” he said “General tax in 1959 amount- ed to $249,251 against $212,- 741 in 1956, showing an incr of 17% or $36,510. Should the mill rate not go down then?” Douglass asked. Building permits in the city of White Rock were down $175,000 from 1958, largely be- cause of the stringent regula- tions on building stipulated by council, he said { White Rock has the highest administration cost of 37 municipalities in B.C. with pop- ulations under 9,000. Only four higher under 11,000 population were Dawson Creek, Kitimat, Kelowna and Nelson. Citing the municipal stat- istics, he stated, White Rock had the lowest expenditure on public works of any municipal- ity over 4500 population. White Rock also realized the lowest expenditure on recreation and community service of any |structed tion, except villages. “In dealing with figures, you must first put your house in order. When you are manag- ing the city of White Rock you are dealing with big busines: T am concerned with the ris- ing costs of administration and all other costs in White Rock.” He feels the construction of sidewalks is more advantageous to the taxpayer at the present jtime than the construction of more roads. rifty percent of the people of White Rock walk, and at the present time there is no place for pedestrians except on the| roads, where they prove to be | a ménace to motorists. “With the erection of more sidewalks it would free 2 roads of pedestrians and en- courage motorists to park on side streets where a well con- sidewalk would take them quickly to the shopping area they desire, “Sidewalks are an issue present council is sidesteppi: he said.

Just to keep the] logs on the street? That is exactly what has happened There are more dogs on the streets now than before the dog law was passed. Why did n't the council do what other |towns and cities do: put two |notices in the local paper and jset a dateline, and after that |date the owner of roaming dogs |be fined $5, and the city over- seer be instructed to report ar keep his eye on all loose dogs, even if they employed a few old age pensioners for several weeks to check up. Their co: would be easily offset by fines and it would not have cost the taxpayers one cent. It looks as f the council has a terrific |fear, for that Dog Society to I\ve to throw out a huge paci fying bait to keep them quiet We had a visitor remarking on our dogs. He said he seen about 15 without licence tags, And also those owners of dogs on leash. Why must they take their dogs up to the stores and 's in front of stores and on sidewalks. I watched a lady (?) let her dog mess on the corner of a store entrance, She waited till he was through. As soon as she left another dog came along and messed on the same corn er. I can’t understand the merchant s, if they have a res- pectable place, putting up with this. It more and more proves what you said in your editoria’ several months ago, There ap- pears to be no plan or system. And why do the taxpayers of this place not get up and join the ratepayers association, and around us lately, with these building affairs like assessing a woodshed not worth a nickel $210, and asking $3 for a per- mit to tear it down, and $3 to put up another one, refusing a house owner to occupy his own house because some siding Was not on, and other such building rules I have tray- elled this continent from north to Mexico, from east to west, in my 50 years of travel never heard of such ridiculous things as are going on in this place. It seems this incorporation really went to our heads, In fact, this is the only incorpor- ated city I haye seen advertis- ed. One can now plainly see our council wants to make a suner-city out of a bungled up village.
