Although millions of feet of Beaver Board have been re-
quired by the Government for the building of army canton-
ments, all demands of the building trades are being met.
Government demands have preference, of course, but busi-
ness in general must go on, too. Beaver Board facilities for
large-scale manufacturing have made this possible.
OUR SUPPLY OF BEAVER BOARD FOR BETTER WALLS
AND CEILINGS IS ASSURED BY THE MANUFACTURERS
- Under present conditions Beaver Board is the most eco-
nomical form of lumber. Using Beaver Board instead of lath
and plaster is one way you can' reduce your building or re-
modeling costs. By a wise selection of material you can easily
find a way to go ahead with the building, repairing or remodel-
ing you need. Let us prepare estimates.

To the Editor of the Sentinel:
Dear sir: i have read in your issue
of the 19111, inst. the article entitled
Facts for the Tax Payers." 1 agree
with you that there is great need of
economy. I agree also that the taxes
pro high,-—and in my report to the
council last Tuesday 1 stated the plain
truth when i said they would be high
er before they are lower. There is no
sense in trying to deceive ourselves on
that score.
"llut, Mr. Editor, when you state that
the rate in 1913 for the Fifth Disirii|
was 5 0w mills, and _ that in 001159-
quencc the rate in 1917 shows an in-
crease of 200 per cent, you are not giv-
ing the taxpayers the facts.
in October, 1913, we paid in advance,
a town tax of 12 mills. This tax was
lpid on the list of 1912. The first F‘illh

you speak, was also laid on the list 0!
I1912, and for approximately the same
{period Out of the 12 111111 tax above
Ireferred to, 92-5 mills must be includ-
ed, making for such period not a tax of

fact you have overlooked, became
