custom of holding church ser vice in the park on sunday evenings during the hot weatheris abandoned this year unless one of the churches decides later to worship there there seems to be ho real de mand on- the part of the church goers to forsake the church tarild- ings and we understand that the preachers are not enthusiastic for the change for the most part the church attendance is holding up well this summer during the holiday sea son in all the congregations although richmond hill only sent over one rink to the stouffville bowling tournament held on wed nesday ot last week it was a good one manned by gldmoodie for they cleaned up the day and came out on top of the 32 rinks participating as a consequence they were presented with the auto rugs as first prize h w sanders rink from lakeview jacksonspoint won second prize being cut glass bowe3 and third honors went to simmons rink from toronto withrow park the trophy being silk umbrellas all the visi tors spoke very highly of the good time they had and of the ladies who provided the meals and conducted the lunch counter to the general sat istoction ot all when the board of trade hands the park property over to the cor poration of stouffville it will relieve those using the park from collecting an amusement tax at the gate the town of alliston until recently col lected this tax but later refused to do so and the herald newspaper of that town comments oh the matter thus the town of alliston has had a show down with the amusement tax department and the result is that the council is sending back the tickets the town was compelled to purchase and the clerk will make no more monthly reports of entertain ments held or not held in the town hall the imposition of such a duty on a municipal official after having killed all the shows that used to travel the coitntry is a piece of in justice which the amusement tax department does well to remove the chief clerk of the department has ceased to demand that a private individual take out a license for riverdaie park in many cases of the municipalities of the province the reason why the amusement tax department is successful in its de mands is because the majority of people do not take the trouble to look up the statute and do not know what the requirement really is the council of this town should have re fused in the first place to take out a license for the town hall the small towns and villages of the province are exempt under sub section h of section 1 of the rules and regula tions drafted by the department in connection with theact which reads as follows public hall shall be deemed to mean any place or build ing to which an admission fee is charged or where after admission a charge is made or feecollectedbut shall not include community hall or athletic field owned by a township or village corporation the word town is not mentioned and of course the department seizes that as an excuse for salting alliston pubuc notice at the request of a
