nolan publisher stouffville oxt i on unwilling subjects i would like to remind him that the day when government officials can dictate terms to the people whose hired servants they are is a long way off ratepayer sditorial comment slowly but surely the tax tentacles are closing- around the man or woman who has a large or fairly large income bachelors are being hit doubly hard its enough to drive the most confirmed old bachelor to take a chance on conjugal felicity the walkerton telescope puts it thus when tlv assessor starts on his rounds in february he will have a new item added to his duties thai will be the lining up for municipal income tax of all citizens who ar at present paying income tax to the dominion government in the past the only persons assessed locally for income have been men of known income such as salaried government officials school teachers etc but under the assessment amendment act of 1922 passed at the last session of the legislature the term income is defined as including all persons deriving money from wages busi ness profits interest from invest ments and every known way of get ting money together the exemp tions are to be the same as under the dominion act ie 2000 for householders as heads of families lno0for bachelors etc in towns and cities and 1700 and s00 in vil lages and townships 200 is deduc ted for every child under is years or other dependant under the do minion law it is now 300 the public library building being now completed the library board will shortly be planning to move into the new premises we notice by the annual report prepared by the board for the government that there are 6b6s volumes now on the shelves there were 32s books added last year all being purchased and not donated the number of books and magazines read during the year totalled is os and of this amount fiction as is usually the ease received the greatest patronage the books in the library are valued at over 5000 the grants last year to the board for maintenance were municipal 525 legislative 142 and county 25 these of course are the chief source of revenue the members of the library board are rev r young chairman rieeve w e morden dr f adales h w sanders a e booth a c burkholder and w a silvester treasurer miss c a chapman is librarian and also acts as secre tary for the board against consolidation editor tribune in answer to mr hutchisons letter re claremontwebbs schools i would like to ask mrhutchison on what authority he states that the only argument offered against con solidation was that of transporta tion if it was on his own i would like to say he made a very poor in terpretation of public opinion in this district i however can assure mr hutchison that it is a real one and not as he claims an unknown fear on four different days during the past two weeks the roads were not passable for a team until noon and our school was in session every day with a high average attendance i have known the roads to he practic ally blocked for days and yet the school children trolled along to school every day any one who has ever had any experience with coun try roads knows that there are weeks in the spring after a winter of heavy snow when the mud is deep it is not fit to put a team of horses over them and mr hutchison claims one team could draw a heavy van loaded with thirty children or over i think he shows a very de cided lack of good judgment on this important question i regret the fact that personalities be drawn into the discussion but mr hutchisons must he answer od mr duncan morgan may or may not be a big man i will not dis cuss that part of the argument mr morgan lives on the main road run ning through claremont his farm lies on the south side of the section on the very outskirts of the village of claremont certainly he would favor it as to mr hutchisons claim that in northern wisconsin consolidation i is a success i understand that in i that part of the usa the attend ance is very small in some in stances a one horse outfit is suffici ent to transport all the children in one section the argument that a graded school can give a much more thorough education even though it comes from an inspector is certainly open to criticism statistics do not show- it he cannot prove it some of our large cities are al ready bemoaning the fact that they are in the grip of the graded school system and have no alternative at the last convention of the oea one delegate declared that he had known boys who had become dis gusted with our present muddled system and had left to take up in ferior jobs such as delivery hoys etc thus he declared a good citizen had been lost recently a large mass meeting in j slmcoe ontario went on record as declaring that inspectors find de partments were too arbitrary in the matter of calling for additional out lay on expenditures boyi they de clared were being taught to sew and cook and girls to farm i give mr hutchison mwe credit thin to suggest the introduction of kalsorlsm to force consolidation continuation school form ii iliysiograpliy w l vanzaant s3 harry white 81 vv k allan s2 m oboyle 76 e peters 7c jean hessel tc anne paisley 74 alfred
