is shown by the re turns to the dominion bureau of statistics the average farm in canada in 1911 was 15023 acres in 1921 19835 acres there was an increase during the decade in the number of occupied farms of one acre and over from 684505 to 711- 000 and in the area of occupied farms from 100 million to 141 mil lion acres farms of 100 to 200 acres now number 229 64s and those of 300 acres and over came next to the number of 164897 under five acres there were only 21503 farms reported stouffville should have a public utilities commission or in other words a light anft power commis sion the need of this in the past is apparent to many of our citizens but now it is even more so as we are about to receive hydro electric power such commission would have vested in them full power to control the business of the light and water systems of the municipality and their increasing knowledge would be an added value to the cor poration in connection with hydro there are many things the average citizen or councillor may not under stand in dealing with the head commission at toronto the local councillor must have a knowledge of the system employed by the hydro but about the time they become ac quainted with the system or busi ness methods employed in running the power business they are remov ed from office then a new council must stop in and learn the same business the result is the town has inexperienced men at the head of this public ownership thing al the time if a commission were appointed it would consist of three members the reeve and two elected j men by the people these men are subject to reelection every year or every second year but tf they are rendering satisfactory servico it is not often they are not out of office i the resnlt of a permanent body to control our public utilities must be apparent to all who give the matter any thought and it is something that should be dealt with before the en ot the year all the latest magazines roadways drug store from a
