this column reference was made to the manner in which the bus lines aro putting it over the railroads in the matter of tendering service thus leaving the train coache3 running up and down the tracks almost deserted notwith standing all this however it must not he forgotten that we aro linked up with the railroads in an economic way hence their failure to cope with this situation is a loss to the country at large referring to the eltuation right here in stouftvillo it is pointed out that the cnr is a great nsset to the community as against the bus line the railroad for instance pays into the coffers of the municipality some 175 in general taxes each year plus s00 per year for water privileges at the station for this sum of money we allow the company to water the big steel horses all they can drink and they have some thirst to quench too hence it is at once realized that a concern which pays us about 1000 per year in taxes and also gives em ployment to the heads of several local families is somo asset by pointing out their failure to cope with a real rival for business the good that may accrue is to spur the officials into action in the matter of competing against this thing
