its spon sors reeve kenneth thompson weston and deputy reeve hugh griggs mimico to relieve high school municipalities like stouff ville from having to absorb the first 20 per cent of the carrying charges on capital debentures in computing the cost of education for students from outside municipali ties and the resolution was referr ed back to the november session it was contended that a munici pality should not be required to supply education to outside stu dents at less than it costs to educate a student who lives in the municl pality in which the high school is situated representatives of non- high school areas contended the school was ah asset to the munici pality in which it was located and that they had to meet added trans portation charges the reeve of stourfville also opposed the resolution along with the reeves and deputy reeves of markham and whitchurch on the ground that the school was a cer tain asset to the community and township school sections met their own transportation charges it was further contended that the 20 per cent imposed on the municipality where the school was located was intended to offset tne advantages gained by the municipality by rea son of the school being at their very door f while the adoption of such a change might prove a slight immediate advantage to stouffville reeve nolan told the press that it was unfair and might work to the disadvantage of the village over a period of time i consider the high schools a distinct advantage to the centre in which they- are located and i believe the reeve of weston knows thatnms an advantage and great convenience to the pupils in which it is located and for that reason alone it is only fair the municipality should pay the first 20 per cent of hs debentures with the remaining 80 per cent being spread over the district according to the pupils attending- from that district or adjacent townships he concluded as a result of the opposition the matter was defeated for the present at least by being referred back to at of dead son called to the funeral home of rg clendening in markham to view the remains of her son earl chester goodyear mrs r- g goodyear of unionville collapsed

mr wm evans another veteran of the lakeside said there was a health hassard and that the cotta gers were willing to pay their way if only the council would get on with the work a letter from the secretary of the ratepayers association backed up the request reeve leary and councillors agreed to oil the road just as soon as the petition was filed with the township clerk duly signed the amount of oil will be appro ximately 6000 gallons of a- good grade oil which would undoubted ly do an excellent job in both lay ing the dust and preserving the road the same offer made to mussel mans will be applicable to wilcox lake area the deputation thanked council for the cordial hearing and promis ed to get out the petition without delay it is expected that cottagers will be eager to sign up

may all have been in the conservative camp many liberals who voted con servative in the provincial election declared their intention of return ing to their own party in the do minion contest other liberals re fused to support toole on the ground that he was once a liberal and turned this is strange logic but exerted a real influence with many voters the campaign was clean and both candidates
