villages total 16000 and interest en road expenditures 14 90s 36 amendment the imagination of the people has been gripped- by the possibilities ot the new highpowered storage bat tery invented by edgar ward young canadian inventor everywhere men in all walks of life are discuss ing this new form of cheap power and are foreseeing the revolution ary changes in transportation it will bring if successful first publicity was given to the in vention early in the new year it is claimed that the battery will op erate an ordinary automobile at a cost of 10 cents for 1000 miles and that it is sufficiently powerful to run aeroplanes trucks and possibly railway coaches the battery built on an entirely new principle will store enough power for 600 running hours it is said and needs recharg ing only three or four times a year announcement has been made that production of these batteries is already under way and that cars equipped with them will be put on the market by a detroit firm some time next summer railroad men view this invention with mixed feelings some believe that such cheap power for trucks will place the railroads in a worse position than they are at present others think that possibly the rail roads can utilize the power them selves one of our greatest operating expenses at the present time with steam power is for coal and the maintenance of huge locomotives amendment of tho assessment trains run by these batteries would act giving municipalities per- revolutionize railroading we could missive legislation to exempt new- run smaller trains and run them buildings from general taxation on 512 stouffville ontario oftener and the fares would be low ered the same thing would apply for local freight trains commented one railroader envisioning stream lined passenger trains running at almost hourly intervals between such points as detroit and toron to toronto and montreal and so on if we could run trains cheap enough and fast enough x the prob lems of the railroads on this con tinent would be solved lie said aviators and military men are distinctly interested in this form of power for aeroplanes the inventor claims that trial flights have already been made at detroit and that they were entirely successful think of what an aeroplane could do if it did not havoto carry heavy supplies of gasoline to keep its motors running provided the battery would supply power long enough there would be no limit to the length ot a flight declared an aviator space now used for carrying gaso line and oil could be utilized for passengers and freight the usual roar of tho aeroplane motors would be eliminated for electric power is practically silent many of the dangers of aviation would be lessen ed for with an electric engine there would not be nearly as many mech anical parts to get out of order the ordinary man on the street is intensely interested in the new bat tery as applied to automobiles a sliding scale over a period of four years was requested by the council the plan would provide total exemption for the first year 75 per cent exemption the second 50 pet- cent the third and 75 per cent in the fourth deputytreeve w l stephens of etobicoke and

prosperity and ending the de pression taxation of motorists in ontario has risen on an everascending scale until in the short space of five years for instance in gasoline tax alone their contribution to the pro vincial treasury has increased from 131 per cent of the total general revenue to 216 per cent a jump of practically so per cent according to a study of provincial public accounts in 1929 gasoline taxes represent ed 131 per cent of the total pro vincial revenue in 1930 is 7 per cent 1931 201 per cent 1932 227 per cent 1933 246 per cent while figures for 1934 are expected to showv another increase in regis trations the percentage remained fairly stationary official statistics show only 1477 per cent of the people of ontario own cars so on this basis according to the latest available data this relatively small percentage of the population paid 53s70 out of every 100 collected by the provincial treasurer in 19 33 in two taxes alone gasoline and registrations in addition to paying their share of all other imposts including dominion customs levies etc at the time they purchased their machine evidence is gradually accumulat ing to show that motorists resent this apparent inequality ill levying of taxes and are becoming restive to the point where eventually they will demand some relief the situation is aggravated in the opinion of motor club execu tives by the fact that generally speaking taxes from motorists are not earmarked for the purpose for which they are levied roads but are used for general expenditures e a ghubin registered optometrist will be at
