Counters Caterers Confectioner MONTREAL, Que. The inspection system as worked out in GRIMSBY is nit only a farce, but it is nothing short of highway robbery. A man steals a loaf of bread to keep his wife and seventeen kids from starving to death, and he gets seven years in Kingston. That‘s law. j : Inspector Stalford acting under instruction from the Hamilton Board of Control, comes into GRIMSBY and charges each and every person whose wiring he inspects, $1.50 expenses, for which he gives no valueâ€"simply takes it from them and he goes free: Is that law? Let me go on the road for a manufacturing firm as a traveller. My exâ€" penses every day are two dollars. I turn in‘an expense account at the rate of four dollars a day. Would that firm dlet me go free and continue to work for them? Was I not collecting expense money I had no right to? You bet your huckleberry I was and I‘d get jugged for it too. Mind you we have not one word to say against Mr. V. K. Stalford himâ€" self. He is only working on a salary like any other man and must do what he is told.© The Hamilton Board of Control are the thieves that we are after and we are going to get them. $ ‘__Lots of people would think that Farewell was holding them up. But he was not. He did exactly what the inspector told him to do with regard to the moving of the light and when he got done he had a bill of $19.38 for work. â€" Another thing that is wrong with the inspection system in GRIMSBY is that you can never get your work done when you want it. Let me go out tonight andâ€"collect money from a man under false pretensâ€" es and see how long I would be at large. Just about fifteen minutes and the balance of the night I would spend fighting the "bedâ€"bugs" in "Kasey" Konâ€" kle‘s "Kabin." j In the house occupied by Dr. Millyard, on Depot St., owned by Mr. Beverâ€" ly Book, it cost $19.38 to get one light moved three feet. The doctor â€"put a partition through the middle of a big room. The room contained two lights, one at each end of the room. When the partition was put through, the one light was too close to the wall. They had it moved three feet and it cost them more to move the light than it cost to wire the house in the first place.

He collected the same amounts respectively from the Where no special fee is provided, inspection may be made at the rate of 50c per hour, as well as any actual travelling expenses. §¥ When fixtures can be inspected along with wiring, a charge of 25¢ over and bove wiring inspection fees will be made.

But this is the first first time in our recollection that the citizens of GRIMSBY have had to bow down to the City of Hamilton and do what they say and hand out their cash in amounts named by them, without any say in the matter whatever. f na At the rate that Stalford is collecting money in this district, he is turnâ€" ing in enough money to the Hamilton Board every year, to pay his salary, .:«mdv show a profit of about $500 besides. This means that Hamilton gets all its work done for nothing and his Hamilton fees are profit. All the money col‘_: lected, at the same rate he collects in GRIMSBY, in Burlington, â€" Dundas, Waterdown and surrounding country is clear profit.. Looks like a pretty good money making game for Hamilton. But where does this money _ g0o to? â€"Is the Hydro Board of Hamilton in the same mess that the Works Deâ€" partment is in.

The people at the time thought that this was a rather stiff price, but took it as a regular course of.events. Every Tuesday found Stalford in GRIMSBY and every place he visited he collected â€" $1.50 expenses besides his fees. 8 Complaints started to reach the council and they immediately took the mattér up with the Hydro Commission and were. informed that GRIMSBY was under Hamilton‘s jurisdiction. ; At the July meeting of the town council held on Monday night, July. 18, a letter was read from Chief Engineer Frederick A. Gaby, that Mr. Stalford of Hamilton would be the inspector for this district. The council did not take kindly to that arrangement and instructed â€"the clerk to write to the Hydro and get more particulars regarding the inspection and the inspector. 9 At the August session of the council held on Monday night, August 10;= a letter was laid on the table from the Hydro Commission, stating that they were still of the opinion that Mr. Stalford would be satisfactory for GRIMSBY and that his charges would be $1.50 EXPENSES PER DAY, HIS INSPECTION FEES AND FIFTY CENTS AN HOUR. SV C n o( oo At that meeting Supt. Bromley figured out that Stalford was drawing pay at the rate of $7.50 per hour. ' : % In the interval between the two meetings the council had tried to secure an engineer from the Hydro to come to GRIMSBY and look â€" the . situation over. . They replied, stating that they could not possibly send an engineer to GRIMSBY inside of three months. $ ; ; Â¥ig: i oee The INDEPENDENT appeared the Wednesday after the August meeting and exposed the whole piece of "highâ€"handed" business that was being carâ€" ried on, and asked what was going to be done.: % § During the past month so man‘yr 7c‘ovnvx-p1aints have been received by Council and by the INDEPENDENT about the charges that the inspector makigg that they decided something should be done. About four days after the INDEPENDENT was out the council received a letter from the Hydro Commission, stating that they had seen a very uncomâ€" plimentary article in the GRIMSBY paper and that their Mr. Strickland would be in GRIMSBY on the following Tuesday to interview the council and see what conclusion could be arrived at. j o I ; ; He came! He saw! He went! And we are no wiser now then we were before, but we do know that we are still handing out our good hard cash and not receiving any value for it. + , Mc ? The matter was dropped at that stage of the game, in hopes . that . Mr. Strickland would see his way clear to have the matter adjusted. No word was received from him. The council passed a byâ€"law ratifying Mr. Stalford‘s apâ€" pointment as inspector, as one inspector is the same as another _ to _ the citizens.

If the inspection in Beamsville is a losing game for Hamilton, then let Hamilton drop them off their visiiing list or else charge the Beamsville people accordingly.

HEN the War is over what motor _"*" car or piano, for example, will stand highest in public favor? What cereal? W hat range or furnace? W hat brand of soap, paint, stock food, and so on?

Thus such populariâ€" Whon Their com Selling courage expresses itâ€" self in publicity. The withâ€" drawal or suspension of adverâ€" tising is a form of economy with a "back kick" in it. Not only may the farmer reap benefits from his ducklings, but the back yard fancier, whose space is limited, can find them paying good dividends. Ducklings can be raised in places and under conditions that would prove disastrous to chickens and the closer confinement the quicker the growth. : Belect a Breed The first consideration we â€" must paritive hardiness in early life, free dom from disease and inexpensive methods of housing and brooding are strong factors in their favor; as in GRIMSBY the.council suggested is Over d of Control come down in their +1 a that they have graftâ€" W ar One thing that should be borne in mind is that they must have a liberal supply of grit, etc. Sharp sand mixâ€" ed freely with their mash â€" while young, later using fine grit does nice |ly and green feed, chopped fine mixed with their food, works wonders. Getting Ready for Market [ Around the age of seven or eight weeks they should be ready for marâ€" ket and never over ten weeks, so as to avoid their first â€" moult, which renders them unfit for killing for several weeks. They should be fastâ€" ed for twentyâ€"four hours and killed by bleeding at the head. Plucking should be done immediately, while they are still warm. Place the duckâ€" ling on a flat surface and allow to cool thoroughly before packing. For the first few days oatmeal, bread crumbs and hard boiled eggs are most desired and form an excelâ€" lent diet which may be fed every two to three hours. After this, ground ;oats, cracked barley and to which is added meal in some form, is excelâ€" lent. Mashes are essential and feed liberally, such quantities as they will eat greedily at each meal and _ no more. Never leave any feed about as the ducklings soon muss it up â€" and make it unfit for feed. Water should be always before them, but under no conditions, should tney be allowed water to swim in. Corn meal, ground oats and shorts make a real good mash. being grown for weight, such foods as produce flesh should be used. In brooding, unlike chickens, ducks do not require as much heat as one would imagine. Under ordinary weaâ€" ther conditions, a week or ten days is long enough to have them in broodâ€" ers or with hens and in warm weaâ€" ther less time is required. The matter of feeding is a serious considâ€" eration, as ducklings have heavy apâ€" petites and must be kept well supâ€" plied. Their rations should be varied as much as possible and as they are Iface is the selection of a breed most suited to our purpose, and one canâ€" not do better than. take _ example from people.in our>vicinity who have made a success of duck raising and in nearly all caseswe find them raising Aylesbury~~ or ‘Pekin. The Aylesbury is claimed"to be the quick est maturing and in . this respect, without a rival. Its rate of growth is consideredâ€" unequalled and â€" very often ducklings weighing. from four to five pounds can be produced â€" in from seven to ‘nine. weeks. f The Péekin finds much favor and is a close rival to the Aylesbury and is extensively ~raised by duck growers in this country. s § The Rearing Problem Duck eggs require 28 days for inâ€" cubation and require the same heat units, as for incubating hen eggs. Inâ€" cubators can be used to best advanâ€" tage, while broody hens are excellent. wWEDNESDAY, NOV. 18, 1914
