The business men of Barrie associ- ated with the coupon system will do well to consider whether they are, or are not, fostering a spirit of municipal disloyalty among citizens by sending two per cent. of their sales to a trading stamp company. Under that system merchants give three per cent. reduc- tion to purchasers, and two per cent. to the company for, the coupons and a` partial monopoly. This means they give a discount of ve-per cent o' their goods. It is a reasonable con- - clusion to reach that it would be better for the citizens of Barrie, and therefore for the merchant himself, if he were to give the whole ve per cent. discount. to the purchaser and thus keep that latga amount of money represented by two per cent. of sales also in town. i Train! leave Barrie for and arrive from_ the n-Jnoaunnbhsnn along: an "Ann-in u BARBIE RAILWAY GUIDE. r131` D L 51` C74 .17 mm.

A - . ` ` ' 'Gusm-ta. Dec. 27:12, 1898. Dear Sir,--In answer to questions from many electors. I wish to say that all the members of the County Council are paid $3 00 each per day while attending the ses- sions of Council, the difference in amount paid is the mileage` All members areal- lowed` 10c per mile one way in attending meetings of Council. As to committee work it is a well known fact that the workof the County Council is nearly all done by com- mittees Some members are on more com- mittees than others, and therefore have more work to do during the seasions__of the Coun- cil, and are at times called to attend special meetings. As I am an old member of the Council, my name stands on four of the standing committees and on four special committees, . to all of which I have given close attention. and am prepared to show to any ratepaver day, date." expenses paid out, and work done for every dollar 1` have re- - ceived from County funds. `It is only right that men should be paid for the work they -do. and no` more. It is also well -known that a ver large amount of ' unusual work has been salt with by the Co. Council the last two years, all of which has taken time | and expenses. The House of Refuge and the Sanford `matters alone have taken much time. both of which arebeing brought to a close. No doubt a very larze-reduotionlwill . he made in the expenees_of_ _the Clo. Council ' duringthe next two and following` years. F V ' ' ` -Yoursj_truly, .' ` Jastnnn` Dana - , School Examinations Again. Dear Sir,-With your permission a few questions I with many morewould like to ask. (1) Why are our retiring trustees so anxious for re election after all they have said about the unthank- fulness of the public; yes, anxious when they will sacrice their dignity by asking support and` paying the most extravagant compliments to the judgment of the electors. Surely there is` a plum for them in disguise. (2) Why do not the children of the Barrie schoolspget the County examination papers? Of many reasons I hear in circulation I mention one which is a dead secret, so let it be whispered :- Tbe Sen. IV. class is too tall, so we must make papers that few can answer. An easy matter, of course. When the teacher thinks she has about twenty ready for advancement she nds that there is room for only three. A very sad reection surely on the judgmena of the teacher! She would not, I am sure. drag these poor children through the trying ordeal of another examina- tion and yet another had she supposed ` them unprepared. Well, what is she to do now, to comfort them and their parents? Of course, though against her better judgment, she tells them to` remain anotheryterm where they are and they will do better at-the next trial. She might add if there is room. I can see, Mr. Editor, that children thus treated not only lose interest in school work, but worse yet, . lose fespect for teacher and all connect- ed with school and become idle and worthless. It would never do for the teacher to complain as this would mili- tate against her in the future. We must have a Board room, a private room for principal, a room for school supplies, a. model school room unused - half the year, a fth form room with half the seats empty, and yet there seems no room to rise to Sen. IV. Yours respectfully `A Morass. nuns-ecu-avg... -av vn naamuuovnrwn -UnjIa-OD _ It is proper that your paper ehould` take a -large interest, in the ahira of the School Board. and keep theneople posted. Give credit. where credit is due, and likewise condemnation, but don t, Mr. `Editor. unnecessarily cast. reectic 11% on even the humbleet person the sovereign people may choose to re- presentthem in public posisions. '-Q`I'\'U I will not get my ink bottle in Barrie because I can get it :4 little cheaper some place else, then the citizen-em- player might reasonably say to such employee All right then, I will not; employ you for I can get some one else to do the same work for less money.

In speaking to the Town Council last Wednesday night Mayor Wells said that lack of municipal loyalty is a lerious drawback to this town. Put in plain English the Mayor's accusation means that many citizens of Barrie do their buying in Toronto or elsewhere though the goods desired may be ob-, tained as cheap or cheaper in Barrie and also that many citizens delight in "talking down the town. \IlIl!\tI Mr James Henderson. of Durham, is visiting his dauglner, Mrs. Robt.
