' - To those who prize the heauty_of their lawns and boulevards, it is most vexatious and disheartening to see the damage done by people who,. either through thoughtlessness or.laz- iness or a combination of these", per- aist in the habit of short-cutting. Those whohave acquired this habit should, before taking a short-cut over a lawn again, give a thought to the man who has to look after the grass. The Toronto Telegram has 7 just completed fty `years of publication. It is a fearless and powerful advocate of what it conceives to be right and ` invariably hews to the line regardless of whether the chipsfall on friend or foe. This, together.with the en-_. `terprise which is displayed is all mat-' ters pertaining to its pu-bl~ica_tion,-ac- ' counts for the great inuence it wields in the city of Toronto. T 2 I . Nature is just now bursting out ?_ii1 to new life and vigor in such a won- `derful and marvellous way," remark- "ed the Collingwood Bulletin last `week. With temperatures such as, `we have had the past week the burst- ing was more likely to occur in the `Water pipes than anywhere else. 1 Several municipalities north of the Severn are advocating an improved highway to North Bay. It is pointed out by the Huntsville Forester that the normal increase in_ traffic from `year to year has reached forty/per cent. ' ,When the highway from North _Bay to Cobalt is completed the traffic on" this` route will be still `further augmented. Midland has ordered a re motor truck somewhat similar to the one purchased by Barrie some years ago and the ratepayers are looking for a reduction in insurance rates. If theysucceed they will be getting more from the Fire Underwriters than most mukxicipalities "with similar expectations have secured. Users of anthracite coal ere ' not getting the April price reduction of H fifty cents a ton which it has been customary to give for -the last forty . years. It is estimated that the oper- ,`a'tors are in this way gouging an ex- tra seven million dollars out of the people. ` T North Bay is likely to "have an in- 'crease of eight mills in its tax rate fthis year. This wouldmake a levy of `55 mills. A heavy debenture debt, at =schq ol rate of 25 mills and large ex- Ppetfdituyes for waterworks and sew-' `e'r"g are jthe main features in the big civic budget. .

This double . tragedy cgining as the general n`iotor- ` ing season is opening up should. im- ` ; press _upon_ the drivers of automobiles ; the gredt need of exercising caution ' when approaching a railroad cross- . ing. . Figures compiled by the oper- ating, department of the Canadian National Railways show that during a 1925 on the lines of the system there were 65 grade crossing accidents to vehicles, in` whiclL40 people lost their lives and 51 were seriouslyor slight- ` ly injured. In every one of" these M cases investigation showed that. the ; railroad was not at fault. .'l`h" of- ficial enquiries showed -thatin. most ; cases carelessness on the .part of the ` automobile `drivers was `responsible. 3 Listed among the accidents are .two ` where autoists drove their cars into the tender of the engine; where the automobiles hit the `second A or. third car back of the engine, and -one where the driver actp'ally crash-`A ed into the twentieth car back of the engine. In addition to the accidents which occurred there were doubtless e scores of near-accidents, where the -occupants of cars escaped by good fortune. Racing a train to make a crossing is a foolish and extremely dangerous practice. three ' ' importance of sanf :the,orests .5fAIfob: many Canadians vseetningly have "been under the impression thatour forests- are inexhaustible and .~ that conse- quently no thought need be given to conserving or replacing `tl:1e:trees_ which are dis'appea`r.ing_ by tens' of thousands every year to `supply the requirements of the builders and pa- per manufacturers or through the scourge ofgre, whichhas been even more_ destructive than the lumber- man's axe.
