Past District Deputy It‘s tough on the shoe leather when you’re shopping around for a used car, and it‘s sometimes tough to make up your mind too. It’s hard to go wrong, though, when you keep in mind that the used car lot of a franchised new-car dealer is known in the business as the safest and best place to buy a used car. The franchised dealer has been in business a long time, he has his good name to protect. He’s known for re- liability, that’s how he got his fianchise in the first place. and you know he’s going to be around next week, next month and next year. , ' This was the version of the speed reputation of that name has become so w of Maryland has posted big signs on its hig equipment.

The inscription at the- top read, “Most land de- mands some form of conservation practice. Here you have 'an area extending from the Ridges south to the Humber. On this Height of land there is a positive need for many conservation practices such as strip farming, contour plowing. farm ponds and wooded hills.

Moorhead made the mo- tion that the report submitted by the water committee to the meeting, be accepted with pro- posed rates, seconded by Mr. G. Dunn. YONGE ST. RICHVALE TU Many questions were raised, which Mr. Bailey answered. It has been established that front- age tax must be paid whether the water is used or not and the mill rate will cover the en- tire area. Mr. J. McCarthy ask- ed if the water committee could guarantee a sufficient supply of water without any more raising of taxes. Mr. Nunn wished to know what assurance the tax- payers have that assessments won’t be raised, during the 20- debenture period. It is expect- ed that if assessments go up, the water rate will go down. Mr. L. Morris felt the frontage tax was much too low, as people with vac cant land can double its value. Accept Report Owing to the expansion of the original water area, more capi- tal is needed, therefore anyone who signed the original water petition may now withdraw their names if they wish, otherwise they must accept rates now sug- gested. Mr. Bailey spoke on the de- velopment of the well on Carr- ville Rd. and said the area would be serviced from May Ave. in .the north to Uplands subdviis- ion in the south. with service on nearly all intervening streets.
