happy new year pl golden phone 263 1 door east of stouffville library judging from the discussion heard at the last meeting of stouffville municipal council that body favors the purchase of a new bell or the erection of tho old one on some elevated position over the fire hall to the installation of sirens reove sanders and one or two members expressed an opinion on the matter tho objection to sirens they say is that they are apt to refuse to work and that at least three would have to be installed to be 100 per cent satisfactory these members who favor a bell are also of tho opinion that if a bell is sounded by an electric apparatus from the operator just pressing a button it would give forth more noise than when the gong is pulled by a rope in the hands of tho operator councillor brillingor condemned the present bell as useless and is not likely to agree to using it a now bell would probably cost 300 or 400 plus the erection of a satisfactory standard to raise it on sirens would cost more than a bell but the question of cost should not enter into the matter too much lets have the best whatever that la api from that angle only should tho c uncil view the matter bells do seem to bo antiquated as ore alarms and all places changing today go to the sirens however 1t it is demon strated that a bell can be made to do the job well no one will kick very much this fact howover should be demonstrated before council goes to the troublo of erect ing a standard or high platform the reeve reports that a further demonstration of the siren will like ly be given by another firm which has been invited to come hero at their convenience the village nomination meeting will be held in ratcliffs hall next monday evening dec 30 ratepay ers should be giving some thought as to who is to fill the vacancy in the council caused by the announced reirement of councillor arthur weldon there may be others who wish to retire but so far no an nouncement has been made by members of the school board or council there seems however no agitation for any change and in all probability those who served in office last year may receive an acclamation there is a real lack of candidates with new blood and this would tend to leave the im pression that the ratepayers are well satisfied with the manner in which the business of the village has been carried on by reeve sanders and his council and by chairman freel and his board in connection with school matters nevertheless lets have a good turnout of rate payers monday evening to hear the issues discussed mr and mrs harold a

the door mr- klinck proceeded on foot to do more business elsewhere it was not until he reached home that evening the goods were missed for ho did not check them over as he returned to the car to
