Full Consignment of Car: at Armouries For Big Show. Some Autos Take `to Ice And Mount 9`-Foot Hummocks. [ICED Llll Dllf: U}1Clllll8u Many of the cars have been `brought in by rail during the past week, but other dealers have been holding o'_waiting for the high- way to be opened. The Provincial Highways Department. however, apparently gave up the ght fol- lowing the last -big storm and left the motorists north of Stroud to their fate. Despite drifts four and ve feet deep over a score of cars have been `brought in under their own power, although all had to be towed in places. The worst spot is two miles north of Stroud. Pre- dictions are made that this stretch will not be open for ordinary traf- fic for two weeks. With the pre- sent mild weathc". conditions are hourly becoming: worse. Over the lee There were several who made the trip from Allandale dock to Belle Ewart over the ice of Kem- penfeldt Bay and Lake Simcoe. They mounted hummocks nine feet high en route. There is very little snow south of Bradford. To Hold Banquet Tomorrow evening at the Wel- lington Hotel sixty men associated with the motor industry in Barrie will sit down to the rst annual banquet of the Barrie Automotive Association. They will be address- ed by Ewart Everson, Assistant General Sales Manager for Cana- da of the Chevrolet Motor Co.

On Monday evening Mayor Mc- Cualg requested the chairmen of` all committees of the Town `Coun- cil to have their estimates ready for the first meting in April. This. it is expected, will be followed by a special session, at which the tax rate will be struck. It is inevitable that the rate will be higher, on ac- count of increased county de- mands, but there is a tendency on the art of Council to use the par- ing nife liberally and it will like- ly be found thatwhatever increase there is will be beyond its control. The rate now is 45.6 mills. This may be increased `by from two to three mills, the civic legislators predict. Earnings from the gas system, recently purchased by the town, are expected to take care of interest and principal payments on this utility. ` Alzdnunnon T awn` l\/fn'lnnw\n11_ MURDER CHARGES FOLLOW IN QUEST AT TOTTENHAM George O Neil Formally Arraigned in Barrie.

The extent to which Canadians rely upon the telephone is amat- ter of surprise to visitors from the old country. The London Daily Express recently carried an article by a correspondent who stated that in Canada, practically every- one (except the unskilled labour- er) has the telephone. _._.L_ -._ To judge from statements in the annual report of the Bell Tele- phone Company, even the excep- tion for the humbler walks of life is hardly as important as the Eng- lish correspondent intimates. Over sixty per cent. of the 668,383 Bell telephones in Ontario and Que- bec at the end of 1927 were in homes. Few Canadians, no matter what their circumstances in life, feel that home is complete with- out the service which in Canada, as the English paper remarks, is admirable, efficient and inex- pensive. 1 1b The excessive amount of snow the last month has been respon- sible for a variety of accidents.
