in
the
municipality,
parti
cularly
the
water
system
and
various
phases
of
general
taxation.
"As
far
as
I
am
aware,"
Mr.
Sewell
stated,
"Saanich
is
the
only
municipality
In
the
province
which
has
reduced
Its
tax
rate
by
as
much
as
two
mills.
In
addition,
Saanich
has
no
general
debt
rate
whatsoever.
The
entire
Saanich
debt
is
revenue
producing.
The
waterworks
pay
for
their
own
upkeep
and
the
schools
are
self-supporting."
He
went
on
to
describe
briefly
Uie
physical
aspects
of
the,
municipality
which
has
an
area
of
over
35,000
acres
and
30
miles
of
waterfront.
It
was
Incorporated
in
1900
at
which
time
its
revenue
from
taxes
was
a
mere
$19,000.
This
ra-.e
to
over
$200,000
after
the
war
and
has
since
receded
to
$105,000
in
1927.
Other
forms
of
revenue,
including
profits
from
the
sale
of
debentures,
government
grants,
liquor
profits,
etc.,
raised
the
total
revenue
to
$972,000
last
year.
There
were
260
miles
of
roads
in
Saanich,
he
said,
and
190
miles
of
these
were
"good,
usable
roads."
The
municipality
had
been
greatly
aided
by
the
arterial
highway
plan
by
which
the
east
and
west
Saanich
roads
had
been
taken
over
by
the
government.
