REID SHOE STORE THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG ACTION OF REEVES | IS CLAIMED UNFAIR Front Townships Pay Bulk of | | Assessment, Yet Held Up on Road Repairs. | | A Frontenac rate payer, who has | always kept in close touch with coun- | ty matters, has the following re- | | marks to make about the action of | the county council, by a vete of nine | to eight, in refusing to pass the ap-| propriation for the work to be done 198 the good roads system this year: | "About eighteen years ago there | was a system of county roads intro-| duced in Frontenac under the pro-| { visions of an Act of Parliament. At / the present time the sald govern-| ment is paying from 40 to 60 per| cent, on all money spent on the 8ys- | 'tem if approved by the government inspector according to the import- | | ance of the roads, making about 50 | | per cent. on all money spent. "This county road system, as I see | it, has given general satisfaction and | { the roads have been greatly improv- | ed, the system consists of 225 miles | {of the main roads running through six townships from Kingston north | | to the township of Bedford, as it does | not take in the whole county, the] | system has been managed and con-| trolled by a committee of the reeves | of the six townships concerned, and | all moneys expended on the system | | has been levied and collected from | | the six front townships and Ports-| { mouth. As the government will not deal with a committee, the reports have to be passed by the council as |a whole. | "Last year according to the report of the county road superintendent, there was $109,609.80 expended on these roads. This year the commit- tee reduced the rate for road pur- poses from 6 to 5 mills, and asked for an appropriation of $79,700. This by-law was voted down at the Janu- | ary session but an appropriation of $1,000 was passed to take care of the roads until the March session. Last week the by-law was laid over till the June session by a vote of 9 to 8, | and without one dollar being voted | to take care of the roads until that, | time, the most disastrous season of | | the year for the destruction of roads | and the time of the year they should | have close attention. Does it look like British fair play that the rate- | payers who have built up these roads | at a great expense to be told by the other part of the county that they will' not be allowed to further im- prove or maintain them? "Councillors Spankie and Hamil- ton who seem to be the spokesmen in bringing about this condition of affairs, I think are in duty bound to give the public a full explanation why they advocated and voted for such a drastic motion. "For the benefit of the rate payers of the county of Frontenac I give the following figures which appear in the proceedings of the municipal council for the county of Frontenac for 1923.

The time for making a final esti- mate of Lenin's work has not yet| come, Already, however, it may safely be said that he will go into history both as a revolutionist and as a statesman; as the leader of the most destructive and wasteful first proletarian revolution, and as the statesman who endeavored to arrest Joint Stiffness Goes, Swellings Disappear, 850,000 | .. 1,090,000 865,000 | 323,500 | Pain is Subdued RUB ON "NERVILINE" -------------- No Liniment Gives Such Uni- versal Satisfaction.

Baugh, of the staff| of Rockwood hospital, left Kingston | last week to take an appointment on the staff of the Ontario hospital, at Brockville. Before his departure he was the recipient of a very hand- some gift from his many friends at Rockwood hospital, Dr. Baugh, who is a graduate of Queen's University, made many friends both inside and outside of the hospital during his stay in King- ston, and his leaving is deeply re- gretted. He carries with him to his new post the best wishes of all. Dr. Baugh is prominent in Masonic cir- cles. Bovril President on Advertising. Speaking at the 27th annual gen- eral meeting of shareholders of Bovril Ltd., in London recently, Sir George Lawson Johnston remarked on the considerable increase in the company's sales and its relation to advertising. "The importance," he said, "of all this extra trade is that it is from the last half-million or so of sales that you make an increased ratio of profit, the main sales having covered the overhead charges. Those who have not studied the subject carefully have sometimes suggested that the public have to pay for the an article, but far from this being the case it is only the enormously increased sales ob- tained by the assistance of advertis- ing that can ensure large scale manu- facture, economy in production, and rapid distribution." Sir George Lawson Johnston also mense Bovril ranches which, in the Argentine and in Australia, comprise ten million acres, Sir James Crichton Browns, M.D., LL.D., F.R.S,, the well-known phy- siclan, one of the directors, in his remarks, struck a new note in cattle- raising. He claimed that sunshine was as sure an antidote to tuber- culosis for cattle as for human beings and that the 10,000,000 acres of Bo- vril pastures in the Argentines and in Australia produced cattle free from all taint, at least, partly due to the wonderful sunshine of the climate in those countries. The cattle from which Bovril is derived--said 8ir James Crichton- Browne--Iliving all their lives in the open on vast ranches, in sunshine and fresh air--are singularly robust and healthy and they are converted into Bovril under conditions of cleanliness and purity that do not always exist in the smaller slaughter houses in this country. The gross trading profit of Bovril Limited for the year under review amounted to £571,491, and the net was £351,898, Positively no "sinking about this report! feeling" -- GANANOQUE March 25.--The cup selected foi the golf match on the King's birth- day was received in Gananoque ou Saturday last.

SAID ON THE SIDE "Moving Day" is some weeks off yet, but quite a number of citi- zens are already making prepara- tions to make a move.
