beyond any possible figure it may be a fact that certain waste unnecessarily occurred through the employment channel but a reference to the figures will keep all critics within reasonable bounds having had an opportunity to-cx- aniine the financial statement which will be presented to the ratepayers at the public meemg next monday evening in hatclifts hall we gather some interesting figures it shows the total cost of con struction material etc to be 11- 86131 of this amount 373u3l appears as being paid to coun cillor george t lee under the itenv of pay roll for the wages of the workmen from july 14th to nov 30th before these dates and after there was spent for labor s244 additional the total charges foi express and truck haul age on all the material amounted to 214 22 which gives a grand total of 318852 we couple the haulage bill with that or labor be cause it is said considerable waste went on through material being brought out from toronto that was not wanted and then had to be re turned tjj remainder of the 1186131 hinvested in material transformers meters wire poles etc thus it will be seen hat the only item over which the council had con trol was the one of 3 18852 for tabor how much of that sum could liave been saved had the workmen proved themselves slaves to work and manage a job of the nature in justice to the council which brought the hydro to us it is only fair to say the sum cojfld not have run 2000 as is freely talked on the street the general impression seems to be that 2000 could have been saved on the job which would have only left 118852 for labor and haulage poultry killing demonstration a novel feature which added to the success of the peflerlaw mount albert and aurora christmas mar kets was a killing and dressing com petition staged by the department of agriculture altogether at these three markets upwards of 800 peo ple were given an opportunity to witness h h alp bsa a poultry specialist from the oac guelph kill and dress fowl along the latest lines following this demonstration a competition was held for ameteur killers and at each place the compe tition was well filled the christmas market committee supplied excellent prizes and a large crowd looked on with great interest a similar con test will be held on the evening of january 9th at newmarket during the north york poultry show such an event wriuld have been an added
