192s has we are glad to report been one of the best in the history of our society while we have not had quite as many members as in some years we were well pleased with the 179 that we did have for the year 1929 we are giving a special premium in order to reach a membership above 200 as you will recall that two years ago we had 222 members this should again be within our reach owing to the faithful work of our president mr h o klinck and the untiring efforts of our secretary miss mertens we have our society in splendid work ing order the willingness of a large number of our members to assist when called upon has also been of much value during the year there were 15 meetings held probably the most outstanding venture of our society during the year was the exhibiting of a large float in the floral parade at the cne for this we received a diploma from the cne as well as a special medal from the toronto horticultural society the society was voted 5000 to spend on the float but the total expenditure there- i on was only 1775 and we feel that our society and village got some splendid advertising through this medium other work by our society includ ed the supplying of bulbs to the school last winter as well as this winter we also had lectures with lantern slides by h j moore and on two occasions by mr j s hall also 2 sets slides from ottawa experi mental farm all these were of splendid educational value and en- joyed by our members we have maintained flowers beds at both ends of our village 1000 petunias were planted in the bed at the west end wealso had a bed at the public library ana two in the park mr moore has drawn up plans and work has been commenced towards a large perennial garden in the park and the sum of 100 has been set aside for the completion of this undertaking- it is expected that this garden will be planted early in the spring a large group of shrubs was also planted at the base of the new flag pole and we hope to get more beds started this year our society had charge of the july 2nd picnic in the park aided in a small way by the toronto old boys association prizes have been given for the best lawns backyards with garden included and best home surround ings any person who carries off the first prize in one year is barred tho following year from taking the tsame award and in this way we hope to encourage the unsuccessful com petitors our last great effort of the year was our flower show a real success from every stand point the decor ating of tho arena by mr george saunders was a fine piefcc of work and the total entries of over goo rvoro very encouraging to the society we wer fortunate in securing mrs t a patterson of aglncourt as judge and mr ward of our own town gave a splendid talk on flowors and tho value of the flower show we distributed shrubs perennials etc to the value of 121 last spring also 1000 tulips 1000 hyacinths daffodils crocus secured from a w smith this fall the a o collecting all water rates hydro bills and tax bills from the town clerk to the local branch of the bank of com merce and the new arrangement seemed to be working just fine but a new order from backing headquar ters is likely to upset the whole sys tem again the head office of the bank has notified all branches that all such accounts shall be collected in future at 5c per bill up to 15 and 10c per bill for all accounts ex ceeding 15 at present the water bills are col lected by the bank at a charge of 1 14 per bill most of which bills are j below 2 the new rates to be en- torced by the bank whl prove to be prohibitive in many cases it would not bt dvisable for the town to pay 5c per bill for collecting hydro ac counts and it will simply mean that the council will have to revert to the former system of collection through the clerks office water rates now that the charges have been almost cut in half for water could be collected once a year instead of half yearly except ing in cases where the bills exceed say 10 and the few that are over this amount could be collected semi annually without any difficulty stouffville has paid 100 per year for a collector of taxes and under the new system of bank charges on the basis of 500 bills collected they could still have this work done by the bank at a considerable saving the whole matter will come before the council at the next regular meet ing when the situation will no doubt be carefully considered and probably revised along the lines discussed in this article wanted the honor passed around wmkeiihisnow a magistrate william kelh of newmarket for mer mpp for

expected to take office next week was defeated as conservative candidate in north york during the last provincial elec tion he has represented that riding in the legislature since 1923 he was defeated by p w pearson who won the dry liberal platform the new position bears a salary of 4000 per annum apart from fees for exofficio appointments to the york county police commission which goes with tne appointment the new appointment leaves vacant a post on the toronto and york county highways commission of which he has been a member for the last 13 years entered politics early the new magistrate is in his 60th year born three miles out of new market he has lived all his life in york county and for more than 25 years has been associated with its municipal government he brings to the magisterial bench a knowledge of the county no less intimate than that of t h brunton mr keith entered the york coun ty council in 1907 as reeve of new market in 190s he became warden of the county defeating hon george s henry minister of highways and public works who was then reeve of york township on childrens aid eighteen years ago he became vicepresident of the childrens aid society for york county and has given valuable service in this connec tion since the death of hd rams- den he has been acting as represent ative of the society and attending all the courts he has also given as- sistantae to magistrate browne and cohen and others of late in inter viewing childrens aid and juvenile cases before they came into court and has in the words of attorney- general price shown a very un usual aptitude in carrying out this work this it is understood is one of the factors that influenced mrkeiths appointment colonel price feels that the new magistrate while be ing always available could prevent a great many cases coming into court and could deal with domestic relations in a way that would be very beneficial not only to those concerned but to the county as well in speaking of the appointment the attorneygeneral said there has been a discussion from time to time on filling the magistrates posi tions with lawyers ordinarily speak ing a lawyer should be best equipped to fill a position of this kind in many cases however a lawyer by training is too technical ana felies more on the bitter of the law than on the spirit the older practicing lawyers rarely want to take positions of this kind as they are not suffici ently remunerative on the other hand the country is often fortunate in being able to pick out men like mr keith who- have a wide range of municipal and parliamentary en deavor take laymans view this experience equips a magis trate to deal humanely with cases that come before him to consider women and children and general do mestic relations- tney are
