owners lands in taxes the tribune has been able to dis cuss with engineer maddoek of the hydro electric power commission the recent new rates enacted for stouffville and are able to announce that there is no relief or reduction in sight for ithe householder who gets onto the 2 cent rate the re duction in rates only works to the ad vantage of that class of customer in stouffville who burns around 30 or 40 killowatt hours per nrondh and they are greatly in the majority the matter of rates is worked out on a percentage basis the domestic com mercial power and street lighting each bearing a portion of the cost ac cording to tne investment in that part of the system also the two- wire house service is separated from che threewire service and as the latter group is small in number they

high a pnice for tootng their horns stouffville band which last year was engaged to play at the annual school picnic at lake mussel- man at a cost of 50 was dropped this year in favorof tlhe newmarket band which took on the job at 25 them last week the uxbridge band was engaged to play at the good wood field day for 15 a contract the locals had last year at nearly three times this sum anyone will agree that a decent orchestra couldnt ibe engaged at 15 and the conclusion is that the uxbridge band many of whom are business men of the town wished to do something to assist goodwood people on their sports day if this conclusion isnt correct then jack lows pipers are so anxious to iblow their own horns they are willing to do it for nearly nothing f y w brathwaite successor to silvester bros hardware open tuesday thursday and saturday evenings and close wednesday afternoon i a couple of gentlemen who have each spent more than half a century in stouffville were discussing mat ters in the tribune office on satur day afternoon respecting the needs of the town they were botih agreed that two things badly needed here now were appointments of a magis trate and a coroner the need of an official to fill tine former post is mere apparent than that of a coroner every time a constalble finds it nec essary to haul someoone for speed ing or for some other offence he must take his man all the way to toronto at a big expense and a great loss of time with the appoint ment of an official who could act in thi capacity for say stouffville anl markham it would be much more convenient and would save expense n order to bring a matter of this kind before the proper authorities it would probably be necessary for the municipal council to take the matter up with the attorney general at to ronto the appointment of a coro ner for this section of york county would also be a good move it would cost nothing to have an offi cial in our midst and when occasion arises it would eliminate the necess ity of sending for a medcal man at newmarket or aurora anyhow if newmarket aurora uxbridge and orhcr places provide such officials why not stouffville the following case in whitby should lead
