THE MUNICIPAL 1933 BUDGET Our residents last week must have learnt with s feeling of satisfaction and thankfulness that the budget for 1933 prepared by the Reeve and Council provided for the same tsx rate as has existed for the past four years, that is 61 mills. It is all the more a reason for congratulation in view of the fact that not only hss the municipality been compelled to assume relief costs and a considerable amount of obligations such as Mothers'ensions snd Mental Hospital Charges previ- ously borne by the Provincial authorities, but it will not receive the substantial sums remitted in past years to them by Vic- toria for liquor and pari-mutual profits. West Vancouver hss always been fortunate in the calibre of the men who have composed its councils, and to this more than anything else is due the satisfactory condition of its finances today. It is almost unnecessary at this time to re- mind our residents that few municipalities, if sny, csn show such a record of balanced budgets, overdraft reductions, and progressive developments, more particularly in these trying times. The council have done their duty, and in so doing have rightly earned the support and encouragement of all our tax- payers, who can best show their appreciation by making a special eftort to pay their taxes in full this year in so far as it is humanly possible. There are financial and administration costs to be met snd physical assets to be preserved, all of which require real money. This can only come out of the taxes. As we have said before, the Reeve and Council have done their duty. It is up to the ratepayers now to do theirs. SWIMhilNG CLUB HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING At the annual meeting of the West Vancouver Amateur Swim- ming Club the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Hon. Pres~Reeve J. B. Ley- land; Hon. Vice Pres.--J. T. Watt and Councillor G. D. Elgar; President--L. C. Raid; Vice Pres.--Blair Clerk; SacrTress.--Murray Watson; Club Captain--Douglas John- ston; Life Saving Instructor -- G. R. Vance; Executive hfembers froin Club --Maurice Anderson and Gerald Mason. The President reported that final arrangements had been made with the management of the Clachan towards securing the lower portion of that build- ing for club purposes. There will be two well fitted dressing rooms for the exclusive use of the club this year.

An inhalator crew has also been formed from these troops. WELFARE NOTES y'istributionsfor April are announced by Mrs. W. B. Small as follows: 236 parcels of cloth- ing; 59 pairs of boots and shoes; 196 parcels of grocerihs; Shoes were repaired st s cost of $36.40, the money )Tun$ spent among local 'shoe repairers. Grant McNeill for the Gardens Committee of the Welfare As- sociation, reported that the re- sponse to the garden movement has been splendid. All the Wele- fare plots are well under way, but more volunteer help is need- ed in this work and those willing should phone G. Gemmill at the drug store. About forty dollars is still needed to complete the outlined scheme. Thanks! For the man's suit size 38, which was much needed. To the donor of 4 gallons of lubricating oil, and 20 gallons of gas. To the local business firm which generously donated a splendid ham to be raffled at the )Ye)fare Dance. For the butter. If even twenty people in West Vancouver would instruct their grocer or butcher to permit the chairman of the Welfare Associ- ation or his appointee to draw on their accounts every Satur- day to the extent of a given a- mount from fifty cents to two dollars, s big load would be lifted off the minds of the distributors, and much more important, the minds of a number of house- wives who cannot just make the grade with the means at their disposal. The pair of shoes, size O'A, needed for a school-girl have not yet come to hand, but the com- mittee is still hoping. COUNTRY DANCE SOCIETY TO GlVE DANCE The West Vancouver Branch of the B. C.
