Village Assets Listed At
$20,000 In 1932 Report

Refreshing relief to the usual run
of municipal reports for year 1932
is that of the village of Abbotsford.
Instead of finishing “In the red" as
have many other districts, the
“Milb Town" shows an appreciation
of assets of a valuation of over $2,000
—in 1931 the assets were listed at
$20,500; on December 31st last the
Corporation set a valuation upon the
municipal estate of $22,854.82, ac-
cording to the annual financial re-
port, audited by Mr. N, Hill, The
park and swimming pool are valued
at $2,191.00 in the report,

Liabilities are comparatively light
—only $268. Among the larger
penses of the year wer ds $

un:
lights $1,165; park

and swimming

Tax receipts were $2,767; trades
licenses $1,778, water service $2,92
government g ts 200; num-

erous smaller item making up a total
2

of $10,

It will be noted that a profit of
over 100 per cent. was made on the
water plant, costs being $1275.09 and
collections $2,927.57. The Village
closed the year with a bank balance
of more than $1,000, It will be noted,
however, that the total expenditures
for the year exceeded the receipts, as
the year was commenced with a cash
balance of $1,210. Against this is
the added aset of the the swimming
pool, valued at $2,447.34,

From the North

Scriptown, B.C.,
January 12,

1933
Editor News:

There is the deuce of a mix-up in
our annual municipal electic in this
northern municipality of Scripsqui.

Two men were nominated for
Reeve; both are Bull Moose, so there
is a split in the fraternity right away.

Not only that, but one is a Presby-
terian as well as a son of St, Pat-
rick, so it was thou that he would
get the vote of the Christians as well
as the Irishmen.

The second is not only a Bull
Moose, but a Caribou and Atheist as

well The Caribous disqualify the
first man because they don’t mix with
the Bull Moose as well as the Pres-
byterians do with the Atheists, and
the Irishmen retallate by disqualify-
ing the nominator of the first men
because he hasn't paid for his 1933
Liquor permit, and they won't vote
for the second man because he ha:

n't paid his lodge dues since the Ar-
mistice,

Of the four councillors we had
last year, one has he ce
foreclosed; another has given him-

elf up, a nd the other two died of
« we can only find three

zens whe have pald enough taxes
p able to qualify, and they re-
to be nominated.

All the other old timers are on
relief; and the last bunch of emi-
grants we got out can’t speak English,

for anything but the
to the Inspector of Muni-
help, but someone must
off, because he's
and left no for-
warding «

We Hiram, who is a
hundred and ten, M4 seen
few things in these parts, what the

Sam Hill was going to happen to us
‘this year, and the old fool waggles
this beard and says; ‘’Taxes is bound
to go up.”

So you see the jam we're in, Mr.
Editor, and some of your

of $96. The claim was contested by
J. Blake Wilson and P. Burns, who
held a $5,000 mortgage against the
equipment.

Repairs have been made to the De-
Jair viaduct rampart, through which
an Abbotsford party of motorists
plunged Clristmas week, narrowly
escaping a drop to the railroad tracks
below.

In County Court, Chilliwack, last
week, Judge Howay refused the ap-
peal of T. Downie, Vancouver, fined
$10 and costs in Sumas police court
last fall on a trespassing charge laid
by H. E, Meilicke. Was argued
that warning signs did not constitute
@ boundary, but it was ruled that such
signs when placed not more than 300
feet apart do constitute a boundary.

Turnbull's Apiaries, a concern
which has operated as many as 1500
bee colonies, is moving from the O-
kanagan to Sumas Prairie.

The move is caused by the decision
of Okanagan fruit growers to apply
four lead sprays per season in an ef-
fort to combat the coddiing moth, and

“Tt Gives Me
Such a

“No, my house has never been
entered by burglars, said Mrs,
Hall; “it’s never been on fire
and we've n r had an accl-

dent or a sudden illness that re-
quired a hurry-up call for a doc-
tor. Just the same, any of these
things might happen,

“That's one of the reasons I
value my telephone so highly. I
know that in cas of emergency
a telephone call is the
way to bring help, The telephone
sives me such a sense of securl-

quickest

Mrs, Hall is right. You never
know when a telephone call will

since the spray is poisonous to bees,
they will have to be removed from
that vicinity.

The packing plant in Penticton will
also be moved to the Valley within
the next few months,

An organization meeting of S
mas School Parent-Teachers’ Asso-
ciation was held last Tuesday. Al-
though the attendance was slight,
plans were implemented to further
the movement. Officers as follows
were elected: Mrs, Baynes, pres.;
Mr. L. V. Kenny, vice-pres.; Miss G.
Day, sec.-treas.

It was decided that the best way in
which the P.-T.-A. could lend assis-
tance at the present time wéuld be to
procure clothi and footwear for
certain pupils who are unable to at-
tend school because of this need, To
this end a clothing committee was ap-
pointed as follows: Mrs. P. W. Starr
Mrs. D. Stafford and Mrs. D. G. Day.
Persons haying clothing to donate are
asked to kindly communicate with
any member of the committee.

Meetings are to be held on second
Mondays in the month {n the muni-
cipal hall at 8 p.m., the first to be
on February 13 to which an outside
speaker is invited.
