BRI MR. FLOUI Mcluxif 1311 51? Good ` n Ill t}ir_- Esti! REAL, ESTATE MAN P[-ZHR H.1%A. HENRY HAS Another unfortunate experience `in the honusing line is reported from Bracebridge. To induce a company to locate, the town gave $3000 and numerous citizens invested heavily on rosy promises. The plant is now closed down to the sorrow of the in- vestors. Bonusing industries in nine cases out of ten is a mistake. Where an industrial proposition is made to a `town it should not be submitted to the ratepayers until a most thorough investigation has been made by the town oouncil.~ Anyeonncil that fails ito do this is sadly remiss in its duty. ! For the past fisca1*yea'r_the Pro- , vincea of Ontario received from `the _sule of automobile fees the sum of '$3.477,430, which was over half a` , million more tmn the revenue from ithe same source in 1921. With the additional $1.00 being asked for each set of markers and the increase in ' the number of cars, the Government , estimates the 1923 revenue from this ` isource at $4,500,000. Motorists are ;making a direct contribution of no ; mean size towards good roads. Prompt payment of laccouxlts keeps the nimble dollar moving and helps everybody. l In Toronto there are 187,000 elig- lible to vote at municipal, elections. lyet only 80,520 votes were polled in {the mayoralty contest-~.-one of the hottest inlyearsq If the clamor iraised by the city press-on behalf of their candidates was unable to stir over 100,000 people sufficiently` to `record their votes, the indi'e.rence `is amazing. Such gures make a good argument against giving cities representation` in the legislature ac- cording to population. ` A Ex-Warden Train s re-entrance. in- i to municipal` life after passing the` fourscore stage is a record seldoml equalled. ` I Toronto's majority of 5196 against Beck's hydro radial scheme shows the wisdom of Premier Dru - ry s insistence that the people should be consulted.

Mr. Hammell was-elected` as` lav Progressive. He has turned over-to the Liberals. If the Progressives have any strings on their representative, now is the time Under the old and much abused party system, it was a matter of honor for a man to con- sult his constituents if he changed his political uniform. But honor is ' now considered too loose a tie on a public man's conduct. We shall see how the new system works in Ms". - 5 -- 'to this The very decided negative given ;to the garbage collection proposal does not by any means indicate that the ratepayers are satised with the present lack of system` in handling garbage. People in a great many cases voted against the proposition feeling that the estimate was too high andthat it had been arrived at I largely by guesswork. The need of improved conditions in taking. care of household refuse is pretty gener- ally recognlzed and the Board of Health and Council should co-oper- ate to see if they cannotmake some - .-umment satisfactory to the cit |' Donald Ross and W. A. Boys, M.P., united in denouncing the legislation _,which permits highway improvements to be forced upon the municipalities {without the consent of the ratepay- ers. If Mr. Ross accepted the sug- gestion of Mr. Boys that they go on the platform together at the next provincial election and get after the D'rur,v Government on this score, it should make things interesting. Though sharp differences arise at municipal elections, they should not be permitted to continue and pre- vent united effort for the promotion of the town's welfare. Chesley is to.have a new ink man- ufacturing company. That. expert_ ink-slinger, Weelum MacDonald of the Chesley Enterprise, will hereaf- ter `have an assured source of supply. Despite the very severe criticism directed against last year's Town `Council from certain quarters, the `ratepayers generally do not consider v [the -number returned. them such 9. bad lot, judging from` I Simcoe County will be consider-I ably advantaged by the contribution `of ten cents per day which the pro- ivincial authorities propose to make itowards the maintenance of _each in- =mate in county houses of refuge. Such assistance` would mean about $2500 a year in this county, which `is about ten per cent. of the total cost of maintenance of the Simcoe! House of Refuge. i i Another weekly news.paper hasi `gone under in the ghtagainst pres- ent-day publishing costs. This week the Preston Progress, which has been :issued for 38 years, suspended pub- lication, its proprietor announcing that he has been unable to make it pay. _ I : iA Col. John A.

The Colonel is an expert oni ;depicting roseate hues, which, unfor-1 `tunately for those who were attract-J led by them, have been wont to fade` V away. . I I I Chatham has been added to thel ue-paper towns of Ontario, W. J.! , aylor having purchased the Daily; `News and Planet and amalgamated} ,them. This combination, with a suc-i icessful publisher like Mr; Taylor bo- ~hind it, should give Chathamoa strong inewspap%eV2r.* .

I garded as a pretty denite expression on the proposed paving of the Pro- vincial Highway` route through Bar- rie, yet . we doubt if the feeling throughout the town is against per- manent paving to the extent this votewould seem to indicate. The proposal to levy frontage taxes had aroused considerable feeling both f against this plan of raising ey and the merits of perman- ing as opposed to the present patc work methods did not receive the attention that they might have had under other circumstances. In` the face of the adverse vote, it is most unlikely that any move towards permanent roadways will be made in 1923`, yet we venture to predict that it will not bemany years before Barrie adopts such a policy. A vote of 75 238 may be re` I In referring to the fact that the ;editor of the Streetsville Review is A; a candidate for the wardenship of i_Peel C0,, the Acton Free Press re- `marks that the three newspapermen who have been wardens of Peel filled the position with great efficiency. - This year the members of 'Simcoe i County Council will have the oppor- [ tunity of electing anewspaperman in the person of Mr. Williams of the Collingwood Bulletin. The warden s chair has. been filled by farmers, , merchants, doctors, lawyers and men 3 of other occupations, while the news- ! papermen looked on and let the world a know what a fine lot of fellows the .wardens were. Isn t it about time lthe honor was coming` to a pub- ! lisher? V But aside from this feature, Mr. Williams is entitled to tfie posi- tion for which he is eminently fitted.
