bushels to the acre this peachs corner farm obtained 34 bushels and 41 pounds off slight ly less than s acres wm simpson has returned from western canada after spending six weeks at aberdeen sask where hu had a new barn erected on his farm there following the fire which de stroyed the former structure in june last mr simpson who is qualified to estimate the wheat fields of western canada anticipates not more than half a wheat crop on the average and this may be further lessened by continued drought ai aberdeen however where his own farm is located there has been more rain and a good yield is promised none of the 11 tenders for com plete construction or 6 tenders for partial work on the proposed new aurora arena were accepted by aurora council at a special meeting in every case council considered the price offered too high council finally decided to call for new plans for a less expensive structure stouffville is fortunate in having an arena con structed by private enterprise as other towns are being forced to build civic arenas the first accident and it is hoped the last to happen since the roadway job started in town occurred on wednesday last week when mr john atkinson an aged west end resident fell into the deep ditch running down the centre of the road mr atkinson was crossing the street in front of his home when he mis judged the pathway and stepped in to the open ditch falling some twelve feet into a muddy bottom his groans were heard and help was soon at hand fortunately his injuries are not serious and he excaped without any broken bones although his chest is very sore it is believed that mr atkinson fell into the end of the ditch where there is a gradual decline instead of an abrupt fall this probably saved him from a fatal fall auditorium theatre stouffville friday and saturday august 15 and 16 the price of sears bui cody pathe news collegians comedies friday and saturday august 22 and 23 girl overboard pathe news collegians comedies stouffville section is coming in for a full share of road work this summer both in town and at the outskirts extensive work is under way which when completed will leave nothing to be desired in giving us fine roads all about the district where main travel runs from ring- wood two and a half miles north the grading and draining is completed and the south half gravelled so that this work will likely be finish ed early the work here is under contract to the jupp construction co it has gone along fast as there has been no heavy fill or other work which usually takes so much time the road is very good to travel on at the present time over on the 10th concession work on the big fill at lincolnville is still under way the engineer has decided to further cut down the south hill in order to widen the roadway at the bottom and eliminate any danger of the sides going out when this is com pleted and the hills gravelled the last really bad road in this section will have gone right in town there will be big inconvenience for some time until the new road is completed this fall whitchurch share of radial placed at four per cent of total cost would be borne by ratepayers on yonge street o second concession the purchase of the metropolitan lino from richmond dill would cost newmarket 80000 this is half of the entire cost of the radial price at the spdeial session tof new market council last week various acts and figures were presented by the tt decommission as to cost of operation annual deficits etc the price of 100000 includes track line poles wiring sub station at bond lake property at newmarket and aurora it does not include cars the different percentage to be paid by the municipalities involved would bo newmarket 50 per cent aurora 37 per cent king 4 per cent whitchurch 4 per cent markham 3 12 per cent vaughan 2 12 per cent debentures to cover the purchase price over a period of 15 years would mean practically 12 mills in newmarket annual deficits on this section of the line according to the record of the railway board amount to be tween 30000 and 40000 annually that the cost of operating figured at 55c per mile was too high and that it was now costing richmond hill 35c per mile would voduco tho annual lose considerably 150000 which the city say is scrap price for the line take it or leave it in the opinion of chas leacock electrical engineer is be yond reason his scrap valuation is 08000 auroras not coming into it he declared you stro wasttra your time discussing the question my idea would be to light for a bet ter bus service and a 2c rate what you are entitled to instead of the 10c rate you are paying while none of the council in tha short time our representative had to stay spoke pro or con on the matter the various questions asked and the sentiment displayed led one to believe that while a vote will more than likely he taken in the near future the town fathers are not anxious to purchase the line at the price whitchurch council is said to he not favorable to tho purchase but is likely to consent to a vote being taken by the ratepayers concerned if a petition asking tor the vote is presented to them by the farmers on yonge street does the name matter much effort is expended and a great deal of money spent in naming products in having a name that when mentioned immediately brings to mind one certain brajnd of a certain product a name that sells but if the product itself is inferior if it is not what the name promises then it might as well have remained nameless all of which brings us to carservice and our slogan
