ltilities commission all hopes of those desiring the council to adopt a pasteurization by law for milk and of those anxious to have our light and water system run under a commission were dashed to the four winds on monday evening at a special meeting of the council when that body with every member present and reeve morden in the choir refused to grant either pro posal or to allow the people to ex press their opinion on the matters at the poll when the pasteurization question came up councillor alex scott said that he personally thought it the proper thing but did not feel in clined to make it law unless lie was sure the people on the whole favored it councillor lee thought the people of stouffville had done weil on the present unpasteurized milk all these years and did not favor a change councillor silversides didnt give the measure any support either and reeve opposed it in the board of health meetings councillor beebe couldnt see much in it but he sug gested that the people should be per mitted to decide but no resolution to give the people a chance was offered it was said they wouldnt vote intelligently on the matter while the reeve was sure a vote would never carry the discussion and the agitation for pasteurized milk was ended- when the following resolution passed the board silversides beehe that the re quest of the board of health to pas teurize the milk supply be not gran ted but that a more rigid inspection of the stables supplying milk be mads carried the discussion on submitting a vote on a public utilities commis sion received little consideration the opinion seemed to be that there would be little for a council to do if these two departments were separ ated from their duties the matter was dropped without anyone offer ing a resolution to submit the mat ter to the people mr beebe again brought up the question of building a sidewalk from e dayeys north to barkeys foun dry the difficulty seems to be that the people on the streets or what seems to be a public lane cannot get sufficient signers to a petition to have the walk constructed under local improvement bylaw the peti tion circulated respecting this walk some time ago lacked one signature of the legal number and this was inobtainable mr beebe wanted council to build the walk anyway and offered a resolution to this effect but could get no seconder mr silversides chairman of the sidewalk committee said the owners should have a walk and he promised them one but fully expected they would bring in the required petition in order to get the work done under local improvement a few matters pertaining to the hydro were dealt with it was de cided to have the monthly bills paid into the town clerk as collection through the bank meant extra ex pense and the 10 per cent discount on all bills over 1 would be allowed on accounts paid on or before the 15th of the month mongolia 82 years the few residents of markham township who have lived there for eighty years or more could be

queer things happen at farm stock sales in the way the public bid on what seems almost worthless article also the way they refuse to bid on other things of real value an indication of this was shown at james goulds sale on his farm just north of ringwood last week a splendid milch cow realized the long price of 110 while a work horse that had did yeoman service for mr gould for some years and was capable of doing still more years of service was knocked down at s3 and a mate for 10 being six for the team or a little more than the price of two horse hides mrgoulds sale realized on the whole 1600 which was more money than he ex pected and which shows that on the whole prices were high for mrgould i only had enough implements etcto work his 50 acres dclos morris had the biggest salo so far this

parliament of missions wednesday nov 21 s pm prayer service last week the tribune published the finding of mr burns provincial engineer in connection with the typhoid epidemic in stouffville some time ago and which has since prac tically all disappeared this was published under authority of the board of health who are supposed to act for the citizens in re spect to health matters and as re presentatives of the ratepayers the people should know what they are doing 0i wednesday morning mr j w mccullough solicitor requested the tribune to publish the following communications from drs freel and mr and mrs wideman editor of the stouffville tribune dear sir the petty spite shown in the resolution in your last issue of dpminant members of our local board of health re typhoid epidemic was due to our sending notice to provincial board of health of typ hoid in stouffville which brought out a trained epidemic physician to stamp out the disease why not it cost the corporation nothing in tuture epidemics would advise our board of health to lay aside their dignity and freely ask the ser vices of trained physicians of the provincial board of health who are paid by the province no one wants to be sick these are the facts 1 on october 2nd we sent a communication to provincial board of health that we had a number of typhoid cases under our care 2 dr mcclennahan the district medical health officer of the pro vincial board of health came out to investigate and in company of the senior member of our firm and dr ball local medical health officer made an inspection of cited cases a blood test was made of three of our patients which the laboratory pronounced typhoid 3 two days afterwards drmc- clennahan again oame to investi gate and was informed by dr ball our local medical health officer that there were no cases of typhoid except those under the care of the freels on the same day after learning the names of families with contin ued illness dr mcclennahan went back to dr ball and insisted on blood test of several of these fami lies which the toronto labratory diagnosed as typhoid one might think with these facts in- front of them- the stouffville board of health would don the mantle of modesty and be coy of rushing into print boasting of what they did do or knew they could do when a medical man from hamilton had to journey to stouffville to tell them of further cases of typhoid which they had previously denied note well the report of dr-mc- clennahan october 15th was not included in the board of health re solution why he is in charge of the epidemic he should know why because it rapped the tender knuckles of the spiteful twins in regard to engineers report have no hesitancy in saying it was based on inadequate information where did mr burns get his knowledge not from us who had had eight cases out of twelve re cognised cases and therefore cap able of giving information burns never spoke a word to us directly or indirectly why suppose the chief buglers kept up such la resonant duet that the poor engineer was unable to see our re servoirs were without a gate inno cent even of hinges in mr john wldemanscse the board of healt was a difference medical attend ture of his il decided lypho hans blood test that there ion amongst to the na- which was only by dr mcclenna- this must have been concealed from mr burns by the dominant members of our board of health why we do not want to appear that wc are speaking disparagingly of the town physicians such not being our intention as we know we aver age up with the doctors of the pro vince having our differences which is right and proper but on the whole anxious to do the right thing fail to see anything gained by the unkind unnecessary and impoli tic reference to mr john wideman a respectable man with respectable connections mr wideman through the dutch church might ask of the board of health whiye he got the typhoid might ask the nature of the summer illness in stouffville they might even go further and forget to do their trading in stouff ville as a protest to unnecessary publicity of one of their- valued members the freels have been practising in stouffville three generations for seventyfive years or over and will continue to take an interest in pub lic affairs accepting knocks and handing out the same in return but always we earnestly hope free of petty malice yours truly ira herbert freel nov 13th 1923 both dr mcclennahan and en gineer bums work under dr mc cullough chief health officer and when one issues a report as in this case we believe the other is cogniz ant of its contents however in fairness to drsfreel and to the local board of health dr mcclcnnahans report when he completes it ought to be published and accepted by all parties iditor mr and mrs e j davey vere

years ago were at their old home which they still retain near the disciple church west end spent the week end in town the barkeys find stouffville a good place to spend the week ends during the summer months to whom it may concern there has been an unwarranted use of my name in the columns of the tribune as the cause of the typhoid epidemic in stouffville first let me ask where did i get typhoid what proof that milk from my premises was infected none what ever s i was sick three weeks under the care of an other physician before consulting dr freel who said i had typhoid but it was only the blood test taken on october 5th that put the matter beyond doubt that i had typhoid moreover i was not the first case of illness in stouffville for there were two children on obrien ave sick for weeks and weeks with a continued fever last summey what was the matterwith the lad on mill street whowas so bad his life was dospaireir of a long siebnessat an east end house with continuous fever i think i got my severe sickness from stouffville unrecognised cases it was dr freel who told me not to sell milk both mrs wideman and myself were closely questioned by dr mc clennahan if i had been drinking stouffville winter it seems to me that other sources of infection should have been look ed for instead of so much time spent on milk which has never been shown absolutely at fault why was a card sent to each householder to boil water and milk signed by all the physicians- if i alone were to blame why was tho existence of typ hoid so flatly denied and it was only the pressure of an outside doctor with his blood tests that brought a number of concealed cases to light i would ask how many concealed cases has stouffville had this last year f i fully believe if all the doctors had been as out spoken as drfrcel in calling his cases typhoid- 1 would never have caught my long illness i live in a christian community and my long illness should at least have given me fair consideration but it seems easier to tag a sick man thtin to look deeper for the trouble business cards legal mccullough button barristers solicitors xs veyances c hcttovs hlock stouffvjlli money to loan dental- nov 10
