Chairman Albert W. Jackson, reeve of Whitby, brought down the budget prepared by the County Roads Committee, recommending expendi- sites of $96,925.00, a cut of appro- 16,000 from the estimates the Council at the De- The chairman an- the work proposed to be municipality had been ly into and cuts made possible, The budget is an expenditure equal to 2.3 the equalized assessment of county, which this year, it is ex- will be the same as the past oH L i ; pH AH 1 The rood and hridge budget of $95,925 The report with the above figures and several other recommendations, was considered in committee of the whole with County Road Superintend- ent D. J. Kean, sitting in to explain in detail the expenditures contem- plated in the various townships and to answer any questions. As each town- ship appropriation was read the reeve was asked if he was satisfied and given an opportunity to speak. "You are entitled to all possible details of " "the proposed expenditures and the committee has nothing to hide," an- nounced chairman Jackson.' Oshawa Road Grant the grant of $3,600 to the Oshawa Suburban Road Commis- sion, Reeve Ross, of Thorah, stated that" it was too bad that the county had to be tied down to a certain amount for this purpose each year. He thought that $3,000 might be suf- ficient this year when the Council was cutting down. County Road Superintendent D. J. Kean, explained that the Commission contemplated re-surfacing a portion of the nt, also extending its suburban area to take in a por- tion of the county road, which, of course, would relieve the county. Finance Report The report of the Committee on Finance and Assessment, presented by Allan Moore, of Pickering, contain- ed a very fine analysis of the tax rate of 1980, showing where the money was expended for all purposes and the amount uncontrollable by Council. Mr. Moore stated that so much had been said about economy at this session that his committee had pre- pared this statement showing actual expenditures which had to be provided for. He noted that the amount for ~ salaries required less than one fifth of a mill, yet there had been a great ery for salary reduction. Council, he pointed out, had no control over eleven and one-quarter mills. Payments of $464.76 for services rendered by constables in the county, also a number of hospital accounts for the keep of indigents, was recom- mended. Thomas Hazelton, a deaf mute from Peterboro will be given a free license to sell needle cases in the county. Printing Contracts The Committee on Printing recom- cents per mile, one way, the same as at present. This recommendation was amended on motion of Reeve Till, of Reach, to include private cars. In the discussion, Reeve Middleton, of Pickering, read from a county reg- ulation which provided pay of ten cents per mile for necessary miles travelled. This recommendation was therefore out of order and unneces- sary in his own case, he pointed out that it would cost the county more if he came to Whitby by rail as he would have to go around by Agin- court. It seemed that for some time there has been an agitation in Council to change the mileage basis. As a mat- ter of fact, the question is a hardy perennial. No New Gaol Cells The d yr d tion, namely, that the purchase of a battery of cells for the county gaol be not dealt with this year, carried un- animously, without discussion. It was the one and only economy measure adopted. County Engineer's Salary Reeve Jackson argued that Mr. Kean, a faithful, efficient and hard- working official, was being unfairly dealt with. Had he collected his regular commission of two and a half per cent. last year, he would have re- ceived $490. Instead, last year, he lost $180, saving the county that amount, and now under the guise of economy it was proposed to cut off the $300. Mr. Kean's salary was not too great for the work he was doing. Later on Mr. Jackson argued that Mr. Kean could not be replaced at a great deal more than the county was now paying him. Reeve Philp, of Brock, stated that 'he had - 'nothing against Mr. Keam: Reeve Low, of Uxbridge, did not think that the county was playing the game fair with Mr. Kean, who was efficient and working long hours. Reeve Till, Reach, declared that no doubt Mr. Kean was doing all he could for the county, but the tax- payers had been obliged to take a cut of 50 per cent. in their income, and why not the officials. R. M. Deverell, Whitby, said, that he had not heard of any other county official getting a salary cut. Reeve Somerville, of Port Perry, said that Mr. Kean's salary was not in keeping with salaries of engineers in other counties. Plea For Sincerity Reeve Johnston, of Cannington, said that public sentiment demanded ec- onomy, and this council should try to retrench, even to the extent of cut- ting salaries. "Let us do it like men and show the ratepayers that we are sincere in our efforts to economize," he added. Reeve Philp, of Brock, stuck to his economy guns and asserted that the council had a right to say what its officials must do and the pay they shall receive. The cost of living had decreased 40 per cent. and officials should be able to work for less. "How many men around this Board would keep a hired man, give him the same wages, but tell him that he would not have the same amount of work for him to do?" Mr. Philp asked. He declared that he was sincere in his desire for economy and wanted to see some cuts made as an evidence of council's sincerity. pe Grants Made to High and Continua- tion Schools.

M. Alger, re names and number of county pupils from Shelter. The report was adopted without amendment. County May Get Relief From Road Taxation At the County Council session on Friday afternoon, Reeve Luther Mid- dleton, of Pickering, reported for the Special Committee of Council which some time ago waited on the Provin- cial Highway Advisory Board and asking that the government relieve County of Ontario and other counties of a portion of or all of the twenty per cent. now charged for provincial highway construction and mainten- ance, also that all provincial highways be classified, the ' counties being charged for construction and main- tenance only in proportion to the lume of the foreign traffic. The committee reported that the Advisory Board had these suggestions under consideration, and promised that legis- lation would be introduced at the next session of the Legislature in connection therewith.

The coach, played by B. I. Watts, sends Monk, the trainer, played by Grant Robertson, over to the Sorority House to find Jerry. Jerry sees him coming and knows he will be expelled from the team if caught there, so with the help of his girl, Jean, played by Dorothea Na- smith, and the Freshman Bill, (Albert Cawker), he hides in the house- mother's room. The old housemother has left and the new one is coming next day, and has all her clothes there and in order to sneak out of the mothers's clothes, but in trying to escape is discovered in the outfit, and is mistaken for the housemother. Jerry's attempt to escape from this predicament so he can play in the game brings on a series of extremely funny situations. The Butter and Egg Man, a wealthy Alumnus of the college, played by E. L. McLean, while attending the home- comings visits the Sorority House and falls in love with Jerry, thinking he is the housemother. The Butter and Egg Man promises to give the college one half million dollars, but makes two conditions for the fulfillment of 3| the promise, first that Bula Bula Col- 'lege win the football game, and that the housemother goes to the game 18| with him and eventually like him well enough to marry him.

Also, how is he going to report to the coach where he has been, and thus be ex- pelled from the team. Jerry's effort to work out of the difficulties bring about many hilarious situations. There are many other funny situa- tions. Jerry's girl gets mad because he makes love to the other Sorority girls, especially Nellie, played by Mrs. Alex. Woods. Professor Gaddis, (Robt. Levia) who has been in love with Dean Howard (Mrs. I. R. Bent- ley) for thirty years, forsakes her and proposes to Jerry, as the house mother. George (Storey Beare) and Monk, spend a lot: of time running after Jerry trying to get him over to the football field to play in the game. The College President, (A. M. Lawrence), his wife Mrs. Seamore, (Miss Ida Downer) 'and :Mary (Annie Farmer) add to the dignity of the cast, and the two freshmen Bill and Brick (Hugh Nind) complete the cast.
