On Beamsville Theatre<br />
BEAMSVILLE, ONT.—The court of re-<br />
Vision for Beamsville reduced the business<br />
assessment on the Beamsville Theatre to $550<br />
recently after owner George Marfei told<br />
members of the court that the theatre had<br />
been operating at a loss for the last two years<br />
and he felt the as.sessment was too high In<br />
relation to the busine,ss done at the theatre.<br />

some reduction in taxation in view of the<br />
place the theatre holds in the community.<br />

reduce the property assessment, but they<br />
agreed to give Marfei relief on the business<br />
tax.<br />

ff<br />
Mid the frictions and animosities of the times,<br />
there is much for which we must be thankful.<br />

the good Lord has bestowed upon us<br />
