meeting on monday evening it was a sort of a freeforall speak when a thought comes to you ses sion reeve morden presided and at different stages the session bid fair to break up in disorder councillor lee opened the fire works when he said he did not want the job of looking after the hydro con struction in the village and have people grumbling all the while councillor silversides evidently took this as a sign to say some thing and he contended that mr lee should not be paid for services rendered councillors gave their ser vices free in the past and ought to do it now he would accept nothing for what he was asked to do fur ther he said people wro asking viv the council were keeping two bosses on the job with little being done but standing around to the reeve he said that if the people knew he was to be employed at the lake this summer instead of looking after the job the vote would have been different last january i dont ask mr lee to work for nothing however he continued but will you take the same pay as the other men of 350 per day mr lee i will not take the job at all you can get someone else to do the work for what i have done i will take the 350 and im through ive had nothing but dirty slurs from silversides all along hes out knocking this work and i wont do the job for 350 a day and use my car councillor scott said he figured on going on the job at 350 a day but not to boss things the reeve favored paying mr lee 500 per day stating that amount was paid by an old council when building the reservior they did not expect the reeve or any mem ber of council to look after the job gratis as for silversides he was knocking and grumbling mr lee had earned his money so far despite the statements to the contrary work on the hydro was going slowly through the fault of the commis sion and no one else they had failed to push matters and the cor poration was advancing with their end of the deal as fast as it is possible mr scott wished to have it under stood that he was not after mr lee but people did ask why two bosses should be on the job mr mcpherson who was present and who has been engaged to in stall the hydro said his duties were not to go out and buy material he must be here to look after the work after a couple of hours of similar argument to the above councillors beebe and scott introduced a motion to pay mr lee 50c per hour for his services and the use of car when it is necessary before this carried nearly every member had at one time or another grabbed their hat and started for the door but the reeve persuaded them to hold up and finish the job mr lee said he still refused to accept the position unless the ap pointment was made unanimous finally mr silversides conceded with tiie rejoiner that there would he achange of government next january and he would be out for the reeveshlp mr lee youll be out of busi ness the reeve ill fight you silver- sides next january for what you have said tonight during the discussion mr silver- sides was charged with gravelling a street to the oil tank which the company would have done at their own expense this was denied by mr silversides who claimed the company had no intention of doing it

over eightythree millions stouffville branch a c burkholder manager our birthday indianapolis july 7 1923 to the editor of the tribune i am a little slow in thanking you for resurrecting in a recent issue of the tribune that history of the be- ginning of stouffville it was inter esting and enlightening where it ends it is now quite easy to pick up the rest there is however still an important omission if i have not missed something i have not seen any reference yet to the time when it first became known as stouffville as a settlement it is more than a century old but is it yet 100 years old as a village with a name stouff ville ought to make a big fuss when it celebrates its 100th anniversary i hope mr editor you will con tinue your digging into the past until you get a definite idea when stouff ville became stouffville and that you will then concentrate on having some big doings on the 100th birth day and ask all us old boys and girls to come back home and help jubilate it ought to be some occasion wonder when it had its first village election or its first post office and how long it had been known as stouffville before that please find a starting point and the rest will be easy among a lot of other good news i have seen in the tribune lately the reorganization of the stouffville band and the stouffville lacrosse club stand out in my mind as the most pleasing so far as my obser vation goes a band of 40 pieces is some band you all ought to be proud of it as i know you must be there are hosts of bands of 15 and 20 pieces and some of 25 and30 but when you get up to 40 and 50 you are going some in indianapolis a city of 35000 we have only one band as large as siouffvilles and that is the indianapolis news news boys band of 50 pieces when we have need of a big adult band the regular bands combine the post office band and the indianapolis police band come nearest the stouff ville band in numbers but the pro fessional bands of the city are smal ler the news for twentyfive years has kept up a senior band of 50 pieces ami a junior band of 50 pieces made up of boys that carry the papers or sell them on the streets as the larger boys grau- ate and go out into the world on their lifes career their places are taken by the smaller and younger boys in the junior band who have been learning there are two bands at least in our state that have 100 pieces both university banc so as bands go stouffville ha- a big one while stouffville is showing class in baseball i was glad to hear about some revival of its interest in the game for which canada must con tinue to be chief if not only ex ponent i have still in my posses sion a couple of lacrosse sticks and a lacrosse ball memories of the days when i was secretary of the corn wall lacrosse club the game has never been seen in this part of the united states i find lots of good stuff in the tribune weekly and i dont see how anybody with a spark of interest in stouffville can do without it i hope they
