stouffville ont the tribune is published thursday afternoon rerms200 a year in advance- ra v nolan publisher stouffville ont markea31 tp council siktiaii mketixg editorial comment mkihts directory of canadian publications mr 1923 just issued shows a considerable mortality in newspapers there are now 1409 newspapers and regularly published periodicals in canada against 1553 a year ago daily newspapers have decreased from 121 to 114 semi- weeklies from 34 to 30 weeklies from 1022 to 975 high publication costs accounts mostly for the reduc tion in numbers thetown of uxbridge is distin guishing itself in the matter of high taxation with not more than a dozen exceptions uxbridge has the highest tax rate in the province and yet they have neither gotod roads nor domestic water service this years rate is 51 mills which is 21 mills more than stouffville tax pay ers were called upon to pay while enjoying cheap domestic water and good roads through the main street 1 now that the king government at ottawa are doing so well in cutt ing down the civil service staff at the capital they should not over look lopping off the position created for hon duncan marshall institu ted merely to give that gentleman a job the honorable duncan has grown wealthy since he entered poli tical life and he should be content to quit without this safe position of live stock commissioner which will surely be wiped out of exis tence when the king government make heir retirement if not he- fore hospitals are being filled with patients and the hospital authorities do not even have to try to collect from the patient all that is neces- saryis to demand the money 150 per day from the municipality in which the patient last resided and the money comes easy thanks to the enabling law put on the statutes by the drury government any institu tion or physician can send a patient to the hospital without consulting the municipality surely the mun icipality which has to do the paying should have some say in the matter and be able to protect its treasury against careless or scheming phy sicians and relatives to saddle fam ily obligations on the ratepayers of the municipality markham econo mist there is a growing and popular desire on the part of the owners not the bosses of ontarios hydro electric system to demand that the ontario government ourtail the sal aries paid to sir adam beck and a number of highup officials in the system in a great many cases these salaries are outrageous and men could be got todo the work some of these men do for half the money now paid we understand beck gets asalary direct from the hydro of 18000 per year and the next two officials to him pull down 500 a month gaby the chief engineer gets 17500 a year handed to him this comment on the part of the tribune must not be construed to mean that stouffville is dissatisfied with hydro par be it we are getting current now cheaper and bet ter than under the old town plant but we voice this protest in the hope that public ownership might not be spoiled for the people if it were not for these enormous salaries hydro power would be nearly as cheap as the splendid water system this town owns moxgolta school

settling down to business the council visited the allen farm on the 6th concession to look over the situation again and try and solve the drainage problem to the satisfaction of the parties concerned the members returned to the council chambers divided in their opinions and the matter is no nearer solution than it ever has been the reeve urged that the matter be turned over to the township engineer to make his award and if this did not prove satisfactory to the parties interes ted they could appeal to the county judge as provided by the ditches and watercourses act councillor clarry took the view that the council should not take any action and councillor campbell would like to give the matter more consideration the reeve reported that he had interviewed north york township council re supplying water for high land park subdivision yonge street and they had agreed to sup- ply same at 20 cents per 1000 gal lons james iproctor redfern estimated the cost of laying the mains 3000 feet at not over 9000 this would be levied on the front age on both sides of the road served under the local improvement act mr haley the president of the sub division company said that there were already thirty lots sold on the street to be served this property they were selling at 1250 a foot the reeve thought that a guarantee bond of 3000 for five years in ad dition to the lands would be an ample safeguard tb the municipality mr clarry thought the company should give a fifteen years bondand mr campbell would like to give it further consideration after much talk a resolution was carried that a bylaw be passed to provide for ttr laying of the mains and issuing debentures therefor by the township providing that mr haley gave a bond satisfactory the council after a lengthy discus sion passed a resolution appointing road commissioners and apportion ing the roads as follows div no 1 the whole of the 2nd and 3rd concessions and the side- roads therein contained 36 miles mr
