By some it is claimed that conditions are not as bad as painted, and for the good name of Simcoe County it is to be hoped that this may be so.

There is no traffic by-law adequate for present conditions. Naturally, the public look to the police for proper control of traffic, but it is scarcely fair to crit- icize them harshly when their duties and powers in this respect have not been denitely denedfor them. The preparationofva new traffic by-law ` is something that should receive the" 1 attention of the T Council. 1 Last fall a new geography issued . by_-the Department of Education had to be called in for revision owing to ; the many inaccuracies. The revised edition which recently made its ap- pearance still contains very many ex- amples of misinformation. In one chapter alone are to be found seven-. teen errors of fact. Surely there, should be some people in the Depart- ` ment who know enough about geogu - -raphy to see that such a text book ~' is accurate. - St. Thomas council is behind a movement to make it optional for a municipality to continue the impos- ition or not of the municipal income tax. -There should be no option about it.
