After a lengthy discussion at its last meeting, the co.uncilap- pointed a committee to go into the question with the Board `of Health. Action alongthis line should be taken by the Barrie council. The very de- cided negative given to the `proposi- tion _submitted at the municipal el- ections was not a verdict as to the desirability of having a system of garbage removal. It was an expres- sion. of opinion against paying the price that last year's council saw't to attach to the proposal. Public 4 health demands a proper system of . garbage collection and disposal. Last;i year the matter was taken up `too 1 late in-theyear for the subject to 2 receive proper consideration.` With 1 a view to placing, exact information 1 before the ratepayers, the council ;: should without further delay proceed i to collect data fromother towns, de- c cide on what is the best method of t F It is well that the Town Council } has seen fit to consider the jitney \|regulations, and the proper time to. do this is beforethe licenses are re- newed. Whether they are justified or not, many complaints are heard as to the service and the manner in which the jitneys are driven, `though recently there have been fewer on the latter score. .Before dealing with _ the matter it might be well for the I: Council to invite all persons having!` complaints to lay them before the ' committee. In thisway they would 3 ascertain what the complaints a- ` mount to. Any person who would not take the trouble to voice his complaint when called upon deserves I very little consideration. Whatever 1 be the outcome of the [Council's en- ` quiry those operating jitneys should!` bear in mind that unsatisfactory ser-I` V 1 i ( E 4: vice might veryeasily cause an agi- tation, for the Town to go into the iitney business and run it as a public utility. - ... .,,,....,,,-.... ..-.._...,....., w.._, -....~ venience; large `grounds. .

In the towns, where the names `on the list in _any sub- division exceeded 200 an additional poll must be provided; in the rural parts the same applies where the voters listed number over 300 in a ` subdivision. With a list nearly doub- led. the extra expense for additional . polls will be no smallitem. ` In 1922 poll taxes paid" in the town of Barrie amounted to only `about $500. It does not seem possible that there are in Barrie only 100 men be- tween the ages of 21 and 60 who are not assessed'for general taxes. If the} assessor, going his rounds, reportedl once a month the names of persons liable for pol1"tax, and immediate use of this information were made by the police, the tax` receipts should show more `money from this source. 1 Treasurer Quinlan s -- statement shows an expenditure, of $5455 in connection with the county jail` in 1922, This being the case,. why] should the county council pay $50. to engage extra help for clearing; away snow and ice around the court} house when there were a dozen able-' bodied prisoners in the jail? If the `County Property committee is an- lxious to economize, it should use jail `labor for all such extra work. . ` .In the opinion of the Torontoll Globe, it is inconsistent that -at young woman who is qualied to vote in parliamentary elections should be held ineligible to take part in local! affairs. Why so? Why should thosei who have no interest in property and`. pay no_ taxes be entitled to have a` share in electing municipal bodies that control expenditures? ` U If the Attorney-General bythe! bill, now before the Legislature, to prohibit the publishing of. informa- tion"calcu1ated to assist handbook- ing, can accomplish what is aimed` at he will give a death blow to :1! method of gambling more -banefuli !than the betting done at race tracks.` The total cost of the Gregory Co'm- I mission to date is given as $205,- 076.89 in salaries and $23,814.33 in disbursements. The total'staff is four. Judging by the reports in the newspapers, the province is getting` very small returns for the expendi- ture. ` .---e _0ne Irishsenator has resigned his seat in preference to having his house burned over his head. He can hardly be` blamed for thus proving his desire for a quiet life. | ' Cushioned seats for school chil- dren, advancd as a preventive for spine curvature, are properly ridic- uled by doctors other than thoe of the osteopathic creed.

The name of Louis Henry Davies will be recalled by most readers, of an older generation, as a member of Sir Wi1fred Laurier s Cabinet in 1896, as Ministervof Marine and Fisheries, and as a prominent and active member of that somewhat famous group of statesmen, or pol- itical leaders, if the lesser title is preferred. While serving in that capacity, Mr; Davies undertook many , diplomatic and political missions for M his country and government that are mere echoes now of past controver- sies, such as the Behring Sea seal 'dispute and discussions at Washing- ton concerning the perennial ques- T tions of sheries and reciprocal trade. But he had achievedsdistinction ere `this in `the narrower but equally im- portant position of Premier of Can- ada s smallest province, Prince Ed- ward Island, where he was born in 1845 and which he_still regards as his real home--especially in the sum- mer.

Of the men who compiled this text book, the Telescope says: One of the`; authors acquiredhis familiar- ity with the teaching of public school geography by serving` as Greek Mas- ter in. a High School. So far as we can learn, he has never seen the in- side of a Public School since his ear- T ly youth. His collaborator prepared himself for the authorship of the geography. book by teaching English in a Winnipeg High School thirty- ve years ago. That these `gentle- men made a-few hundred mistakes in their book is surely not to be won- dered at. They have produced the kind ofbook youwould expect them to produce. These gentlemen are no _ doubt nice fellows and close friends of the officials who had the handing` out of the contract.` And they werel `no doubt paid a snug,sum for their work. And now their book is the geographical authority for the child- ren -of the Province.
