ford dealer phone 184 stouffville ontario last week an important delega tion of roman catholics waited on premier henry in toronto urging on the government their plea for a greater share of corporation and public utility taxation for schools the church asked for an even break so that the separate schools would receive a proportionate sum of taxes as the public school so far as this paper is concerned we would favor wiping the whole separate school system off the map it never should exist separate schools are nothing but private schools and those who use them and advocate their existence should pay the shot separate schools are dear to the heart of the catholic because they devote about twothirds of the study period to religious matters and one third to secular matters public schools because of the various creeds represented do not give any real amount of religious training and this is one thing the catholics object to in the public school system in view of the fact that the separate school specializes in class religion we do not see any reason in their argument for general support protestant children must attend the public schools in this province or seek out a private school and foot their own bill for primary education children of catholic parentage should do likewise premier henry told the deputa tion last week thar his cabinet is considering the very matter troubl ing the deputation if he considers it well the matter is now ended farmers sued by packing co for unpaid notes country grain market it is almost impossible to quote local grain prices

farmers and held several meetings at wilfred in brock township to become a shareholder a note for 100 and another for 50 was required they could ship their hogs to barrie 20c a cwt cheaper than to toronto mr richardson called off the defendants m j nee- lands and oswin chambers s well as several others explaining to them the advantages of becoming share holders shortly afterwards need- lands and chambers came to barrie and after being shown through the plant signed contracts in the office they were told that the 100 was not needed immediatelybut would be called upon when required w f thompson former account ant in evidence gave the linancial standing of the company at the time the defendants signed the con tracts there were 1500 members signed up for 150 each so there would be about 225000 assets jos little president of the com pany said the plant cost about 170000 which was higher than estimated he also explained the failure to keep going in may 1931 when the plant opened hogs were selling at 10 and 11 a cwt while in april 1932 they were down to 175 fob a drop of g a cwt in ten months they also had poor sales organization when the plant opened they had about 1000 paid up members rather than press those who did not pay a loan of 50000 was secured from the london life insurance co owing to the decline in the price of hogs the company lost 54000 and they were forced to close down the plant only 25- 000 of this was charged against the farmers mr neelands in defence said that mr richardson when solicit ing for contracts told him the plant cost 100000 and that it was all paid for he went to barrie with mr chambers mr lamb mr brown and mr bagshaw after examining the plant they figured they would have a ready market for their hogs and be saving 20c a cwt- by shipping- to barrie sojthey all signed contracts they were all told that the company wanted all members lo produce hogs to keep the plant going he made several shipments to the plant the last be ing in march 1932 when his next shipment was ready the plant was shut down the last two shipments he made 25 per cent was de ducted and he told them to credit this on his note which they said they would do mr brown corroborated the evi dence of mr needlands adding that a condition on his note was that it could bo paid by holdbacks from each shipment of hogs he made his note is now almost cleared up mr chambers the other defeiw dant corroborated needlands evi dence in regard to mr richard sons line of talk and the visit to the plant ho had shipped between 40 and co hogs to the plant his main objection in paying the note was that the plant had shut down m harvie of orillia solicitor for the defendants maintained there was misrepresentation made of the conditions at the plant when the notes were signed mr richardson was told that tho plant was only to cost 100000 and only 90000 had been paid up when the defendants signed tho notes d f mccuaig represented the cooperative packers co whitby

village council on january 10 forbid any consideration being given the very important matter of unpaid taxes the fact that 2400 is outstanding of the 1932 levy the largest at any time since the village was incorpor ated is something that tequires attention it is probably the- great est local question that confronts us it tho present time the fact that we appoint no collector makes the matter more urgent banks are nu- tax collectors but tax receivers and this form of gathering taxes while all right in normal times is doubt ful at present councillor m e watts is chair man of the finance committee and he is the right man for the posi tion no doubt he is now giving this matter due consideration some places which collect through the banks as we do here are finding it necessary to engage publican or tax collector to go out and drum up the arrearages while other places are sending out letters to the delinquents probably it would help to notify those in arrears that they may make monthly or quarter ly payments on the account so many people are of the opinion that they must pay all or nothing at one swipe no council is holding to this rule today and many places have notified the bebtora to this effect the question of tax arrears is a big onein almost every municipal ity but we have every confidence in the finance committee of the local council looking after the matter is
