' ing the problem of municipal govern- , . i .If citizens would realize that there is a close analogy between a municipal corporation and a private corporation, that each consists of the lstockholders, president, board of dir- I ectors and executive heads, we would have gone a long way towards solv-Q ment, declared H. L. Britain, secre- tary and director of the Citizens Re- search Institute of _Canada, address- ing the Kiwanis Club last Friday. It was Civic Day and the. luncheon. was . featured. by the presence, as! guests of the Club, of Mayor Craigl and members of the Town Council. `I7V_..|. -2 1.1.. 1.1.... `L._-..-'L-... -. _ KIITIZENSARE W % STOCK-HOLDERS % IN CORPORATION IGIII-I IIICIIIUCLB U1.

The board decides on jand the latter carry out the policies and advice of the board as to other policies. If these six functions can be improved, it will improve mun- icipal government, stated Mr. Bri-5 tain. The,real method is not to; I treat the symptoms, as is done in Australia, Czecho-Slovakia and Bel-V izrium, where they punish the stock- holders who fail to attend the annual I meeting, he continued, but to get .at the cause. A recent survey con- iducted in Chicago showed that the !largest cause of failure to vote was indifference and that this indifference was mostly due to lack of informa- ;tion which the people could under- i stand. 77.. ____ TILL`- `[)--A. flV_-_-.. policies and appoints the executives, 1, Very few citizens, stated Mr. Bri-' 1tain, really know much about their municipal `affairs except the size of their tax bills and scarcely one in ve | knows the amount of the municipal: debt, which represents the portion of 9 the corporation's investment that is] not yet paid for. 5 `HUD ycb Pal LU1} Before coming to Barrie to speak, Mr. Britain had looked up some g- ures about the town and he found` [that in 1925 the municipal debt re-I presented $53.68 per person. Com- paring` Barrie with 88 other towns in Ontario of from 200 to 10,000 pop- .u_lation, he found that 61 towns had- a larger debt and 21 lower. while 59 towns had a higher per capita assess-I ment. Looking into the_ matter of taxes, he found that in 1925 the amount of unpaid taxes in Barrie | was $7.90 per head, a steady increase since 1921. when it was $4.16. He was interested in noting that Mayor Craig` is his/inaugural address point- ed out. the necessity of dealing with .the situation, as it is one of the most important matters in municipalities all over Canada.

The boys followed instructions but they got into an ar-`. gument and the caps were re laced. . In `some way the gun was disc arged_' and the back of Lewis right elbow ; wasvshot away.

The same conditions prevailed all over Ontario and the Department of High- ways adopted the policy of granting only one license. on each, route over _which they had control and requiring the operator of the bus line to run on a schedule. The jitney business has reached a stage where you must either take it over as a municipal en- terprise or grant a franchise to one man, stated Mr. Huxtable. I am prepared to carry on and improve the service if I am protected by the town adopting the same policy as the Department of Highways, but if you put on another bus it will injure me and I can_not see that it will help the town. `` __.2._., _,,,, A I I1 UVVllo Various aspects of the case were discussed when Council went into committee-of-the-whole. The Allan- dale representatives stated that the present service is not what it should be. Ald. Knight suggested that the jitney business be let by tender. The opinion was expressed that in grant- ing .a license the Town could not stipulate that the operator of the bus should give a specied service, as they could under a franchise. How- ever, an agreement could be made nvith regard to the service to be giv- en, though it was felt that such an agreement would not work out satis- factorily if made with more than one man. Action was deferred till the next meeting and in the meantime efforts will be made to ascertain what lservice is required and to reach an agreement with the operator.
