1930 it showed that business had gone on very satisfactory leaving a comfort able surplus at the end of the period during the year an increase of 23 new services were installed bring ing the total number of telephones in use on the local system up to 117 to serve the patrons within its boundaries there is erected some 200 miles of pole lines the increase noted last year is gratifying in view of the fact that 19so was a year of depression and also it is borne in mind that the local company have limited boundaries beyond which they must not seek business the bethesda stouffville tele phone co

farmers and others too the drop in eggs last week to 22 cents for extras 18 cents for firsts and 15 cents for seconds was the sensational feature of the produce market and is the lowest price for hen fruit in the winter season that has been recorded in the last quart er century the cause is attributed to over production due in part to the wild- ncss of the weather and to the in numerable chickens hatched in multitudes through incubators that are now performing on the job also few eggs are going into cold storage placed in favorable circumstances and in the right type of climate biddy can he counted upon to do her stuff and in the way she has been delivering the goods of late was making the eyes of her owners sparkle with delignt until per chance they discovered through the trade reports that the market was being hopelessly glutted and that something akin to egg war was be ing waged with the consequent drop in price while the price only broke in stouffville last week the low ebb was hit on tho uxbridge market a ycok botoro and one of our citizens who happened to be in the northern town on market day two weeks ago brought homo five dozen- imagine- ng he had a special bargain under

called attention to the need of a couch at the school the teachers room is fairly well equipped with good furniture but he observed that a couch was required in the school for use in case of sick ness the matter was left over un til next meeting inspector wilkinsons report on the public school was a pleasing revelation to the members the critical eye of the inspector found nothing to he desired in
