sale was held on thursday afternoon of fast week at the pre mises lately occupied by morden loiisborough stouiiville and al though it was poorly advertised a fair number of people assembled to judge whether or not the sheriff had any lualitications as an auctioneer they came away with the impression tf at anyone ought to be able to get people to bid at least st a ton for coal the trouble was the whole 12 tons had to be taken by one man but apparently there are people vno wouldnt buy a coal mine if ottered one at half price another stipula tion was that it should he moved in one weok but mr

summer councillor siiversidesjumped right in here and said one must be given but clerk urquhart explained that the courfcil granted authority to pay all wages fo councillor lee who handed it out to che men and the financial report would therefore not show the amount of money re ceived by each workman mr silversfdes further demanded the statement urging that many ratepayers wanted it and were already asking for t i mr leo taunted the former speaker with saying he had a chance to build the line and he should have did it instead of standing back offering criticism the reeve reitterated the statment or the clerk that mr lee paid the workmens money and what each man received would not be put in the printed statement he promises however to bring along the figures to the nomination meeting and any who wanted to hear them could have a chance mr lee said everything was straight and above board and there was nothing to hide wbile mr su- ersides declared there had been great waste in men loafing and drawing pay for it the dialogue was brought to a close with the understanding that the pay roll would hot be published excepting in bulk form but that the reeve would be pre pared tohand

sin on sunday evening vice was rampant in another section of the community lo a deplorable degree constable joe nendick on instruc tions from town officials raided hie club house at uie bowling green and caught red handed between 10 and 20 young men engaged 111 gambling in the form of shooting crap the offenders broke ihe padlock and gained an entrance they lighted the place with hash lights and proceeded to spread the gold the tingling coin led the cop to the den and like a thief in the night he pounced upon the boys with such suddenness that a real commotion ensued lights out a number made good their escape but a dozen less fortunate had thuir names recorded no court action we understand will be taken this time but the con stable declares that this is final and if it becomes his duty to take the boys in charge again ho will qrrest the entire lot not even the parents are to bo notified this time 1 with such incidents as this happening on a sabbath evening in a community of 1100 people with seven churches there should bo some serious thinking going on then some real action to provide the young men with better employment only last week the ladies aid of the methodist church discussed the matter pointing out the idle young men lining the street sunday even ings as a bad omen sure it was but what is wanted is united action it is becoming increasingly difficult to break these young fellows in very small groups to attend this or that- church community action is wanted the responsibility doesnt rest altogether on the church for in this case probably twenty homes were unaware of where the boy spent sunday evening county police reorganized about the most important bust ness that passed the county council sessions in toronto last week affect ing stouflville was the revision of the police force of the county a complete change was made which should work out to the decided favor of such municipalities as stouffville at the present time this municipality gets little or no assis tance from county police other than that paid for in lees made from a case yet other municipalities adja cent to toronto receive assistance almost daily under the new system each muni cipality will maintain its own police with the exception of six men to be hired by the county who would be available here if called upon at present it cost the county 20000 for policing one township adjacent to the city and stouffville is called upon to pay her proportion ate cost of this the new regulations adopted by the county embodies tne following changes 1 a that a reduction of the sal aried police force be made to one in the north with an assistant during the summer months one in the cen- treand four in the south of the county b all cobs provided with neces sary uniforms and telephones in their homes each constable to pro vide bis own automobile and the county to make each man an allow ance per mile to cover the cost of use for such automobile c to dispose of the automobiles now owned by the county and an arrangement made with one or more public garages for the use of high powered cars when the necessity arises d we rurther recommend that the local municipalities provide their own police protection which we think will be more satisfactory and economical to all concerned all such police to be under the control of the police commission of the county breezes from another quarter gormley ont dec 3 1923 to the editor of tue stoullvillo tribune dear mr editor permit me space in your valuable paper to reply to part of an article appearing in your issue if nov 29th re election breezes from whitchurch in winch it staled some ratepayers criticise councillor leary tor his activities in getting the townline road graded through to yonge street and that the cost to the ratepayers of whit church was nearly 15000 now mr editor 1 wish to state that this is a grossly misleading statement used for a purpose as a matter of fact it has not cost tne ratepayers of whitchurch one halt that amount and ali the grading is completed and all culverts put in place none of vine are less than 30 feet in length ami some as long as io feet there has besri considerable said about the unsurmoiiriiabie grades by these former critus but the writer wishes to say that h has driven from one ok of it to the other in a car which has served its full apprentiifsiij of 7 years and thatlie
