addressed
to
the

The

by-law
forbidding

Is
termed
a

"The

At

it

His

GityGouncaSelsFM.Rate
of
48
For
Year
Schools
Up
But
General
Levy
Is
Reduced
A
mill
rate
of
48
for
the
year,
as
against
45
mills
in
1929,
was
struck
by
the
city
council
at
its
meeting
last
night,
on
recommendation
of
the
finance
committee.
The
rate
is
divided
as
follows:
general,
12
mills
schools,
21;
special,
15.
The
general
rate
this
year
is
four
mills
less
than
last,
the
school
rate
five
mills
more,
and
the
special
rate,
two
mills
more.
The
increase
in
the
school
rate
this
year
is
due
to
the
fact
that
a
sum
of
$17,213.83,
covering
annual
interest
and
sinkintr
fund
on
school
debentures,
which
was
for
merly
charged
to
general
revenueO
In
special
rates
has
now
been
charged
to
the
schools
where
it
rightfully
belongs.
Economies

fected
by
the
administration
this
,
year
are
to
a
large
extent
respon-;
'
sible
for
the
decrease
in
general
rate.
The
special
rate
Includes
In-
terest
and
sinking
fund
on
deben-j
tures,
and
is
something
that
is
governed
by
spendings
of
the
past,
rather
than
by
those
of
the
pres
ent.
The

not
mean
