IIAI'PY WEST VANCODVER ST. ANTHONY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. N. J. Corley Phone West 240-R In these dayu of stress,*̂ when so many monidpalities find themselves "in the red" at J;he end o f the "year, a municipality that succeeds in paying its way and in putting something by against the proverbial rainy day when bonds come due is regarded as something, quite out of the ordinary. In such a happy position is West Vancouver. West Vancouver, of course, is in a happy position in other ways. It has a site that is incomparable arid a, climate which is even better than the climate of which* Vancouver ̂ never ceases to boast. ' But it is its finances and its administration rather than its picturesque shore-line and sunny slopes that set West Van­ couver apart today. Those finances are something to regard with envy.

There is the sinking fund; all paid up to government requirements and $32,000 beyond, a sinking fund ' which amounts to practically a third of the municipality's indebt­ edness. There is the indebtedness, itself, pulled down from $1,021,- 800 in '1931 to ■ $1,470,12.1. The>e"'Id^tFe ^*ank'Werdraft7'r^^^^ ̂ $0000 last year, and scaled down from $51,800 in 1930 to $12,000. There are the roads, maintained in good repair, during, the year and even extended. There are the culverts, bridges, renewed during the' year in many cases. ThereUs the ferry account -- ,the ferries Jjeing the municipality's principal public ,utility -- showing an operating profit of $10,534.. And there. is . the * balance sheet, . showing a full million of assets in excess, of total liabilities I quite a record for a community of fewer than 6000 people- " The record for the year is'a fair'one, indeed,'hut"wlien it is considered that .it has beeq achieved without any' increase in tax­ ation, which has stood for eight years at 61 mills, without any taxation of • improvements, and with a . progressive reduction in. taxable assessment, from $3,165,212 in 1932 to $2,824,585 in 1935, the record must be regarded as, remarkable. . ' The secret of such an achievement should be. interesting to any municipality, but, according to Reeve Leyland, there isn't any secret about the plan followed. The>ecipe is the old one -- careful husbandry by' the council and co-operation by the property-owners and residents, , Apparently West Vancouver is to be congratulated upon more' than its site and its climate. It is to-be congratulated upon its reeve and * council and also, upon its citizens who have the good ' sense to choose good husbandmen and the goodwill to cb-Operate with them. ' . ' , The municipality is to be cong^ratulated, too, upon being, as the reeve ca,lled it, a "crimeless community."
