» |The Whitby Daily Times REPRESENTATIVE -- JAMES EDUC WILL GIVE PRIES FOR HONE GARDENS ENCYCLOPEDIA WILL BE PURCHASED FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL Board Discusses Present Methods of Passing Its : Accounts (By Staff Reporter) itby, April 11.--The Board ot Lp voted $15 at its regular meeting last night for prizes for the annual home garden contest held among high school pupils. Principal A. Archibald pointed out that there were twenty-three gar- dens entered in the competition last year and all were of a high er, one latest edition of the Ency- clopedia Britannica will be pur- chased by the board for use in the High School. Principal Archibald was instructed to enter an order for the Encyclopedia last night, the eost being $119. "Upon recommendation or the finance committee the board went into. committee of the whole to consider several accounts total- ling $428.59. After the accounts had been passed Trustee Joseph King, chairman of the finance com- mittee made reference to a state- ment made by Trustee Larkin at a a previous meeting of the boara wherein he had suggested that the accounts should first be checked over by the finance committee be- fore being presented to the board. Trustee King pointed out that all accounts were checked by himself and the secretary before being brought to the attention of the board. Before they were passed they were considered by the board in committee of the whole and he thought that this should be quite sufficient, He knew of other #chool boards where the finance committees deliberated on the ac- counts but they were passed with- out going into committee of the whole. Accounts Properly Passed Trustee Larkin replied that he did not wish to cast any reflection on the ability of the chairman of the finance committee, He realized that the accounts were passed prop- erly but it seemed strange to him that a report should be received from the finance committee when the committee never met, "I think Trustee Larkin is ob- jecting to the terminology or the report," suggested Trustee Bee- croft. Trustee King stated that he would be quite willing to have the finance committee examine the ac- counts if this was the wish of the board. It was decided, however, that the secretary should change the wording of the report so that it would not appear that the com- mittee had passed upon the ac- counts. Dr. C. F. McGillivray, secretary, reported that cheques of $161.78 and $1245.22 had been received from the department of education. The first amount was a grant for the High School agriculture courses while the second amount was a grant for the High School agriculture department, Ratepayers Want School Trustee Wm. Harden made a request on behalf of the South Ward Ratepayers' Association for the use of the Brock street Public School for a meeting once a month, The association, he stated, had pre- viously used the South Ward Com- munity Hall, but it was in such a state of disrepair that its use was impracticable. He pointed out that the Association was organized for the interests of the community, Several trustees were in favor of granting this request but before taking action it was decided to as- certain whether the holding of such meetings would have any effect on the school's insurance rating. Due to the fact that the coun- cil chamgers were being used last night in connection with the Coun- ty of Ontario Old' Girls' Associa- BUY THE FEEDS IN STRIPED SACKS A weak hen never cackles Yyw can't a hen that isn't being fed right to do a full day's work.

Archibald, MEMBER LEAVES COUNCIL MEETING BREAKS UP QUORUM COUNCILLOR WALKS OUT WHEN MOTION NOT CONSIDERED Council Was Considering By-law to Confirm Farm Lands Assessment (By Staff Reporter) 'Whitby, April 11.--A bylaw con- firming the assessment of farm lands situated within the munici- pality and allowing farm property holders certain tax exemptions as set by the revised statutes of the Ontario Legislature may be intro- duced at the regular meeting of the town council, Monday night. The council held a special meeting in the clerk's office yesterday and was about to give first and second readings to the bylaw but Coun- cillor C. Broughton left the meet- ing breaking up the quorum, Councillor Broughton attempt- ed to introduce a motion whereby the council would revert to an agreement made with the farmers in 1903 and allow them exemp- tions under this agreement and not under the revised statutes. He could secure no seconder for this motion however as no other mem- ber of council seemed anxious to revert to the old agreement. Speaking from a personal stand- point Mr. Broughton declared that he did not think that the farmers would submit to the bylaw. After it has been passed they have a right to appeal before the county Judge if they should so desire. Previously the council had pro- posed to offer the farmers a slid- ing scale of exemption up to 10 mills but it has heen discovered that the council has no authority to do this under the Ontario statutes. 'Under recent enactment farm property not served by sew- ers is allowed an exemption of 4.9 mills, With the exception of F. L. Beecroft and R. Sleep all local farm property holders are entitled to this exemption. The highest exemption allowed is 6.6 mills. Those present at the meeting in- cluded Mayor L. W. Dudley, Reeve J. M. Kenny, Councillor C. Brough- ton, Councillor R, Deverell, Coun- cillor J. H. Ormiston, Town Clerk J. R. Frost and Assessor H. L. Pringle, G. D. Conant, of Oshawa, appeared in an advisory capacity.

'fhe ar- rials, numbering 29, were mem- bers of the Toronto Flying club, under command of Captain Earl Hand and their visit in the na- ture of a goodwill trpi. Leaving Leaside at 12.30 p.m., the Canaa- ans made the journey without inci- dent except that for a part ot the way they flew at low altitudes be- cause of poor visibility.

U.S. TROOPS MOVING TO MEXICAN BORDER Naco, Ariz, April 11.--The Ari- zona border held the spotlight in the Mexican revolutionary situa- tion today, as the United States Army began the movement of addi- tional troops to the international boundary, to protect United States lives and property during what it expected may prove the final chap- ter of the rebellion.
