The enquiry opened at 10 a.m., and lasted .all day, but nothing` developed to show any grave irregularity, the deducting of extra percentages when payments of taxes were not made on time being admitted by former tax collector, VW. J. Latimer. Hearing Before Judge Vance on Saturday Lasted all Day. . +No Startling De- velopements ` _urer, in whom there has been the greatest condence reposed since his appointment .fteen years ago, was the rst witness. He explain- ed that it was customary for Col- lector Latimer to pay the taxes col- lected -by him into the banks at Lefroy or Thornton to the credit__(_>f the Township. Counsel drew at- tention to the law` requiring a settlement every two weeks, and witness explainedpthat this course James Black, the veteran treas- Ii had never `-been followed strictly. Wm. Latimer, who was appointed assessor at the beginning of this year, and who for eight years previous had been collector of taxes, underwent` a lengthy examination, during which he explained his method of depositing, in his own name, 7the taxes collected, and afterwards transferring them to the Township account, but the moneys he collected, he said, were never used for any other than township purposes, and='no funds left his hands until deposited in the banks. A number of bank hooks were pro- duced and checked over. Although non-residents in arrears sometimes did not remit the extra percentages` due, he always collected the inter- est on overdue tax-es. At Thornton the Union Bank accepted the taxes direct from the ratepayers" and credited the Township, but the Sterling Bank at Lefroy would not adopt this plan. 7 Judge Vance favored the former as the more `satisfactory method. - 1 1 I _ |~ The- small memorandum bookn carried by Collector Latimer for checking demands and payments had been destroyed for the years l1911and 1912, but the 1913 book Icould` be produced. I ` Collector Latimer stated that the total amounts collected after thelast previous deposit, were placed in the bank every two weeks. The statu- tory declaration as to the returns was unavailable, but _the one cover- ing the returns of 1912, and dated December 6th, 1913, was produced. T-he 1911 roll had been returned on April 8th, 1912, and the 1912 roll had not been returned until Deceme her, 1913. Some amounts may have been paid after the return, of the 1911 roll and "some ratepayers may not have paid on time in .1913, but (Continued on Page 5).

J. J . Kelso be- fore a special meeting. of. the Children s Aid _Society on vTues`day afternoon. Mr. Kelso further stated` that he felt there would be little` difculty in raising L the necessary. money if a vigorous campaign were started now. There were but - few" present, a. and those who were absent, missed` an excellent outline of the great work, `forming as it does a great economic, and social saving to the Province, now ' being con- ducted by the Children s Aid -So-i. ciety. Mayor Cowan was asked to pre- side, and _in- a few words introduced Mr. Kelso, who` had to 'lave for Toronto in an hour s time. In the County or `Simcoe, I the headquarters of the Children s Aid Society is Barrie, and there` are two` things essential to make the work of the society more helpful and more effective. These -are, said Mr. Kelso, a good -permanent agent and a well-equipped- shelter. The ` de- siralbi-lity of this forward step is apparent, and "I .believe the time has come when this County should be more thoroughly organized in this great work of. preventing crime, .1-poverty V and desolation. There are wretched families .-growing up in crime all around u_s, and if we do- " not look saiftuer the children they will follow in` the same `way. I know of people in "prison from this County whose downfall can be traced to the degrading inuences of T g their homes-. At Port Hope and Cobourg they had a, society similar to yours here, dealing only with cases which came to them, and this meant that the `harm had'been- done before they interfered.` ` `When the agent went there, he found homes saturated with every kind of vice, `where little girls had been debauched`, andnow they have more -woxk._.than they can do. The people have hadtheir eyes opened. o V _ `I-,_ -_.L___ `- __.....-__._. ......-.. Instances of the successefollowing` the appointment of a permanent agent were given by .Mr. Kelso, Port Hope, Cobdurg, Windsor and Sault Ste.

There were about 7 5 delegates pres-`- ent and Mr.,H. Lamont, of Col- wlingiwood, presided. ` Concluding that their ' eorts to carry `the Canada. Temperance o(or Scott) Act in this County would not meet with success,, it was de- cided to postpone any action on this `question, and to. ght with re- newed vigor for banishing -the liquor trade by `the tried and triat- ed Local Option method. There are 25 'municipalities out` of the 30 in the County now dry, the ve where licenses are still issued Be- ing: Barrie, Penetang, Bradford, Flos and Adjala.' The discussion on .the Scott Act was lengthy but the delegates were not unanimous _ on the `advisability hf submitting the measure. A resolution was passed asking the Legislature to nr.'I,, `|_,i__ ___,J m easure.' the rescind the_ three-fths clause, and pointing out that local option` would now be in force in a number _;of places had it not been a"three-fths majority required. _ _ I `V V V O - O O The license commissioners of Centre and East Simcoe will be ap- pealed to, . with a` request that no liquor store licenses `be granted in Barrie or- Penetang.
