Khe county's per diem allowance bill for the session was $1,035, and to this might be added at least another $100 for mileage paid to members, Slash Construction Costs One of the final acts of the Coun- cil was to reduce the estiamtes for road construction for 1932 $20,000 to $5,000, cutting down the mill rate rate for road construc- tion and maintenance this year from 24 to 1.9 mills, The estimate of $40,000 for maintenance was not touched, and nothing was figured at the present time for bridge con- struction, although it was admitted that some work along this line might have to be undertaken, The road estimates for the year as sub- mitted by the Roads and Bridges Committee, and passed upon by the Council after considerable discus- sion in committee of the whole arc as follows: venene.$ 5,000.00 Road construction Road maintenance ........$40,00000 Bridge construction ...... Machinery Suburban Roads Urban roads ..... Superintendance .... Workmen's compensation and insurance Interest, debentures deemed and payment not subsidized ,.... TOTAL ...... Will Not Buy Tractor A recommendation of the Com- mittee that a new Crawler tractor for hauling the heavy leaning wheel grader, at a price not to exceed $5,000, tenders for same to be called for, was defeated on a vote. chiefly on the ground that as there was to be very little construction work this year it would not be required, Council was told by Reeve John Low, of Uxbridge, a member of the County Roads Committee, that the repairs bill for the present tractor last year was $1875 because it was not heavy enough for the work, He was backetl up by County Road Superintendent D. J. Kean, who strongly urged that a new machine be bought after pointing out that the present one was costing too much in repair bills and was not capable of doing the work required of it. Bent on economy, the Coun- cil could not be induced to buy, and the motion to strike out the recom- mendation carried by a substantial majority, ing Economy Too Far? Several members of Council were opposed to cutting down the road construction estimate on the ground that in times like these men in the county needed work; and this would furnish some, Reeve John Low, of Uxbridge, went so far as to say that the Council had economy on the brain and was carrying its cutting down of expenditures policy too far, Reeve A, W. Jackson, of Whitby, held a similar view, pointing out that if men could not get work there would be less money in circu- lation and farmers and business men would suffer as a result, Reeve E. L. Chapman, of Picker- ing, suggested that as a means of providing work the Council use men and teams instead of machinery on road construction and maintenance work, Attend Convention Warden Somerville, members of the County Roads Committee, the chairman of Road and Bridge and Superintendent D.

Some who come by motor car were charging railway mileage, WILL PRESENT BUDGET EARLY Federal Government May Table Estimates With- in Week or Two Ottawa, Feb, 13--An early pre- sentation of the budget to Parlia- ment is indicated in government circles, Unless something happens to delay it, Hon, E, N, Rhodes, the new minister of Finance, may de- lives this most important annual pronouncement within a week or two, It is commonly understood that this year's budget will not be a pretentious document, except in the finansial end of it, No doubt is entertained. that new taxes will have to be imposed and other meth- ods resorted to to bring expendi- ture into adjustment to diminished revenue. The clear intimation is that the budget is to be balanced insofar as ordinary expenditures of the government are concerned, but the Prime Minigter has stated that even after this is done, it will still be necessary to raise about $80,000. for the Canadian National Rail way, Little doubt exists that the incoine tax will be changed in an upward direction, So far as the tariff is concerned, the possibility of some variations is not excluded, but they are expected to bc slight. The coming of the Imperial Conference here this, sum- mer to deal essentially with the question of tariffs may make inop- portune any antecedent of what may follow the report of the rail way inquiry, if presented during the session, the whole government leg- islation is expected to be down in a few weeks, DISASTROUS FIRE (By Canadian Press) Saint John, N.S, Feb, 13 -- The little village of Hampton, Kings County, was in danger of being wip- ed out by a fire which started at about six-thirty a.m, yesterday, Ten buildings including the Bank of Nova Scotia had been levelled, STRUCK BY LIGHTING (By in Press) Stratford, Ont, Feb, 13--An un- usual event for time of the year oceurred here on Thursday morning when a barn belonging to Richard Johnston, Morris Town- sip, was struck by lightning and destroyed in the fire that followed.

A brand new member, keen for reform--Humphrey Mitchell, La~ porite from Hamilton East-- stung the Commons tonight with his references to "political ban- ditry and Qighwayism," and the House accepted his resolution to set the committee at work evolv- ing remedial legislation, The Beauharnois lash was pro- vocative of a battle between Rt. Hon, Mackenzie King and Pre- miler Bennett, when the latter accused the former of deliberate misrepresentation of Beauharnols evidence at London, Ont,, where Mr. King allegedly had referred to monies "returned" by the Con- servative Party at Mr, Bennett's behest,' "Not a damn cent" -- this was the language which Premier Bennett, speaking last night with great waemth, sald had been used to the Beauharnols representa- tive whén he made his offer of a campaign:fund . contribution to the Conservative Party, The Commons got a new in- sight into the alleged election frauds and strong-arm methods from Hon, Charles H., Cahan, vhose very vividly portrayea ae- geription of election-day condi- tions in his Montreal Riding of St, Lawrence-8t.

Gallagher was requested to pay the costs of the court amounting to $18.26. In commenting 'on tho case J. A. McGibbon, Crown - Attorney, stated that while the offense was a most serious one he felt that a prison sentence would have more serfous results on the family ot the accused than on himself, In passing judgment His Worship as- serted that he was sure he would be criticized for placing the ac- cued ofl suspended sentence but due to the hardship which fit would impose on the family he felt. that suspended sentence would fill the requirements of the court, and at the same time act as a warning to the accused which would be a guidance to him in the future, In Memoriam LANDER--In loving memory of George 1.

A motion for this investigation, presented hy 'Thomas F, Don- nelly of Willow Bunch, was ac- cepted by Premier Bennett In the House of Commons on Thurs- day afternoon exactly In the words of the resolution, The Premier read letters from the Imperial Oil Co, MeColl- Frontenac and British-American Oil companies expressing thelr willingness to assist in the in. vestigation, Officials of these three companies expressed the view that they have nothing to fear from such inquiry, Premier Bennett promised that the committee will be facilitated in its efforts, and technical as- sistance will not he denied it by the Government, He read letters from the three largest Canadian ofl companies expressing thelr willingness for an inquiry into rasolené prices to he made, The Imperial Oil Co, has written him, stating the impression has heen created that undue profits are heing exacted hy the indus- try from the Canadian public, "We belleve it to be in our own interests, as well as that of the Government, that the situa- tion in respect to gasolene prices he thoroughly ventilated," Victor Ross, wice-president of the Im- perial Oil Co., wrote the Premier. Mr. Ross sald the company's willingness to submit to an in- quiry before a competent tri- bunal was largely prompted by the heneficlal results which were obtained by the company follow- ing the last public investization, which was conducted at the In- stance of the Government of Ontario. The finding at that time was that the earnings of the ofl companies were not exorbitamt and the effect of this upon pub.

On Friday morning, how ever, it was again reopened, when Reeve Grant Christie, of Reach, introduced a motion to repeal the equalization bylaw now in effect and to appoint valuators to make a new assessment of the county, There was much discussion during which Counell expressed the utmost confidence in the mem- bers of the special cammittee named by the warden, The opin- fon was freely expresed that the imaginary or real grievance of Reach Township would be thor- oughly Investigated, and that every municipality in the County would be given a fair show, A New Motion The motion to repeal the as- sessment bylaw and appoint val- uator was withdrawn when the Council unanimously passed the following motion which was mov: ed by Deputy-reeve Parrott, of Reach: "That instead of appointing county valuators to value the real property in the county, the equali- zed assessment of the county in 1932, (for the 1933 levy), be set up by taking the local assess. ments for 1932 and {ncreasing or decreasing the same by the per- centages that the equalization made by the Court of Appeal in 1926 Increased or decreased the local assessments for 1926."

"Certain persons, one of whom is Mayor Webb, of Winnipeg, seem to be under the impression that I have been in favor of deportation, I have never spoken in this sense, nor have I ever thought of it) Ald, Bernard Schwartz, of St, Lawrence ward, author of the pro- ject for the voluntary repatriation of jobless aliens, made this state- ment: "I regret that Mayor Webb has a wrong impression from which he seems to be suffering, It has nev- er been a question of deportation, but entirely one of volyntary re- patriation, and it is because of the question of repatriation that I sug- gested that the cities shonld try to secure agreement with the Federal Provincial authorities, Deportation of course, is purely a Federal ques- tion, DISCUSS CITY HALF HOLIDAY (Continued from page 1) merchants to discuss the merits of the application before Council, * It was decided to lay over for future reference the question of special taxation for chain stores, which has been in the public eye for some time.

In this exchange of communications Mexico has promised the United States her full support in the event this country should become more seri- ously involved in the Far Eastern war, Though officials are very retici- ent regarding the exchanges with Mexlco, it is learned from reliable sources that the State Depart- ment has expressed warm appre. ciation to Mexico for her assure ances of support in case of need while at the same time indicating that such a contingency is consid. ered remote at the present time. Offclals decline to say whether the United States sought assure ances from Mexico or whether Mexico volunteered them, The large number of Japanese in Mexico coupled with the strong feeling about the Japanese on the Pacific Coast, is thought to he one factor in the background of the exchanges, Then, too, it is recall od that the Senate passed a reso- lution in 1912 aimed to prevent the gettling up of a rumored Japa- nese naval base in Magdalena Bay, Lower California, under the guise of Japanese commercial in- terests. This resolution sthted that the United States Govern- ment "could not see . without grave concern' possession of any harbor or other place in the Am- erican continent by any foreign corporation or asociation which might threaten the communica- tion or safety of the United States. Charles Evans Hughes, as Sec- retary of State in 1928, 'referred to this resolution by saying that it was based on "the principle that every nation has a right to protect its own safety and that if it feels that the possession by a foreign power for military or na- val purposes of any given harbor or place as prejudicial to the safe- ty, it ig its duty as well as its Tight to interfere," i Bowmanville Daily Times ROBERT P.
