FOR - T T RONTO CONFERENCE 64th { uuuzac. Arguments for the Stroud com- 1 pan`y werepresented by R. A. Suth- ; erland, manager, Albert Purvis, treasurer, and Lennox Black, secre- tary. The main plea was that with the low rate, the lines were used so much for conversations which were not business that important business messages were often held up. In reply to a question from the Chair- man, it was stated that the company paid ten per cent. to_ its shareholders and was in a good financial position. Underthese circumstances, the Board thought it could stand going bacls to the five-cent rate for at year, when a new application may "be made if acuuzcu Lul.` M I - In checking up the agreements of the various comp'anies, the Board discovered this original agreement and` -the application` for aproval. of the` 1922 rates followed in due course. ' ` ` A____________;__ 1!,,, :1 an I r v _ _ v -- vvd-`I In-the original agreement between- the Bell Telephone Co. and the Stroud jelephone Co. the toll for three minutes between Barrie and Stroud was fixed at five cents. This was changed in 1922 to ten cents, but the approval of the Ontario Rail- way and Municipal Board was never secured for it. '/ Tn n`nnn'I-3...... .... LL _ _.,, The Ontario eRailway and Muni- A cipal Board, with Chairman 0. R.

D. Milne, chairman of the sports committee, reported that a horseshoe pitching contest wou'ld'be added to the `sports "programme and there was so -much interest in _it that a regular `schedule would have to be drawn, up. H. M. Lay announced, with refer- ence to a suggestion made at the last meeting` by Dr. Lewis, that Hon. W.` L. Mackenzie King might be ,se- cured to speak at the Sunday ser- vice, that the Prime Minister will be engaged on that date in connection with a service `on Parliament Hill, Ottawa. uuc p1. uyc1' p1uce., ' H.

' chairman of the Pioneers Commit-p Arrangements are being made to have the Cookstown Women s Insti- `tute put on their Confederation pag- eant at the Diamond Jubilee Celebra- t-ion in Barrie. A. F. A: Malcomson, _ tee, announced at the general com- I I mittee meeting on Tuesday night that he has been in communication with the Cookstown ladies and met a deputation of them, who expressed their willingness to come. If the `pageant is brought to Barrie it will prove one of the best features of the day. The cast comprises seventy people, representing the provinces and variouscharacters in the pioneer life of Canada. .The' pageant. has ` been put on -before by the Cookstown women and ,has`!been favorably com`- mentd on by the dailypapers. Some discussion arose as to where the pageant should be staged. Mr. Mal- comson suggested that it should be in the evening, as it would` lose its effectiveness if done in daylight. He thought of using the rink, though the Town Hall was also suggested. The feeling of` the committee was that the latter hall `would not be large enough and that the rink could be seated and made suitable for the purpose. l\/h.41\Il'..1...........'.... ..J...|....1 nu; __ 4--_ V 1 i 5 1 I < r I. .15 Negotiations with Cookstown To Pu ; ' oh Pfbduction `ln Barrie ' PAGEANT `MAY BE `JUBILEI-1 FEATURE Anulsrolug CANADA, THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1927. desired.
