We do not believe a single ballot was cast by a Unionist who is not in full membership with St. Andrew s and on the roll of the Church. The Church Union Act may enable our opponents to take possession of the material wealth, the bricks and mortar, of ` St. Andrew s; we hear. them no ill-will and wish them God- speed. But as loyal Presbyterians we shall respect the decision of our Church and therefore can no longer worship where some of us since child- hood have seen so many Sabbaths; Collier St. Methodist Church will on June 10th become a congregation of our own United Church of Canada and has responded to our enquiry for church accommodation with a most `cordial welcome. "We thereio-re invite the Union group to join in public worship at Collier St. Church on Sunday, Feb. 1. The Rev. J. H.

To Change Batteries Regularly The matter of changing batteries in the telephone regularly each year cam_e up for discussion. It was explained that the batteries at present were furnished at cost to the subscribers, that a bar-" rel was purchased at a time and be- fore they were all used. while the bat- tery would show the same test . they were not as good as fresh batteries nor would they give as long. a service. Some of the subscribers changed their batteries every year and complained that others would.not change` theirs and the result waspoor service. It was urged that it the batteries were all changed at the same time there would be no kick about service which was what they were paying .,or . It was not fair that they should suffer be- causeother subscribers, would not P1132 in batteries when they should; other companies had found the service im- proved by regular change of batteries.

Finlayson, M.P.P. for East Simcoe, expressed the hope that the iCounty Council would be` able to re- |du-ce the levy. Municipalities have ,no controlover the greater portion of their expenditure, he said, and if the County can cut. down on theiri levy it will help the local councils to reduce their tax rates. The burden of taxation is becoming a serious. matter and the County Councill ' should bend their best efforts to hold- 1 ing down expenditures. . I` Governed to Death Speaking of government, Mr. Fin- - layson said Canada is governed to! death. There is enough machinery` for the government of a population; of 100,000,000. He favored cutting`- _it in half, doing away with one of the 1 iFeyderal\ bodies and reducing the 10,-` cal legislature and county councils. 5 The closer the man who pays thel taxes is to the man who imposes` them, the less waste and the more responsibility there will be, he de- clared. Tlie rural school section is the best evidence of that, for there! the ratepayers get more value for their money than in"any other-case,l beca se the. trustees are under the eye 0 the. ratepayers, who know all that goes on.

Mr. Finlayson did not approve ofl the Government policy of imposing taxes in a left-handed way, as in the] case of the Mothers Allowances, half ' of which is_ paid by the Legislature] and half by the county, who pass it u lony, to tile municipalities, who have] to collect it. The man who devises I such a measure and" receives credit for it should collect the money, said` Mr. Finlayson. As it is now, the responsibility is local and the credit{ is away up. County councils have` become merely collection agencies and hand over the money. to the Leg islature to spend, and none `assumes responsibility to the ratepayer. nu.-- ~.-m..__:_.. :_ 1___-_.1 ;._._-u_-_. -L__ I avuyvanvowaogua -av V.-\.. -wvyru~J s...
