Last week Dominion and Ontario governments announced large deficits alongside claims of savings. Tax hikes affect businesses and individuals, while Ontario plans expenditure cuts instead of new taxes. Prospects for a balanced budget next year remain uncertain amid recent leadership and policy signals.
Readings of last week’s county council comparative tables show Acton in stronger financial health with far lower tax arrears and education costs than similar towns. Teachers’ salaries and examination costs are notably below those in comparable municipalities, arguing against drastic cuts without proper context.
In Milton last week Halton County Council debated school board funding and municipal payments. The writer argues four municipalities paid the county levy in full while Georgetown and Burlington promised, predicting future deficits and a weakened council fate with no funds to administer.
The Fergus News Record plans to report on the proposed Fergus memorial once details are known. The piece critiques Dominion tax funding, notes 1932 gasoline usage in Canada, and discusses wheat exports, government purchases, liquor policy, and the U S prohibition image. It includes figures on car sales and Vancouver port grain capacity and remarks on Canadian made products versus printed in the U S A.
A columnist reflects on avoiding budget talk and enjoying a perfect day in the city. They praise the lake view, miss the sea, and recount kinder moments from a salmon purchase and shop interactions, including a helpful fish-cooking tip and a pet shop distraction. A Persian Balm paragraph concludes the piece with a beauty ad-like note.
The piece recalls Edwin Markhan at a home where he offers a long silent grace and muses on friendship. It extols lasting ties, cites John Wanamaker on true friends, and invokes scripture about laying down life for a friend. It also promotes Millers Worm Powders as a health remedy and closes with a Browning quote on prayer.
