in two instalments in stead of in one payment on december 15th of each year as has been the practice in the past in future the money will be paid by the township treasurer to the school section treasurers sixty per cent on december 20th and forty per cent on may 1st the bylaw authorizing the new procedure vas passed at the regular meeting of the town ship council held at unionville monday nov 2nd it was intro duced by councillor w l clark and bad the unanimous approval of the members the purpose of the change is with the view of saving the municipality interest charges and it is felt that it will create no hardship at all ror the school sections in any event the bylaw contains a clause that by resolution of council the date of the second payment can be advanced any school section which in any year found that it actually needed the funds before the date of the second payment is privileged to appear be tore the council and present its case and the council is authorized to advance the date of payment if it so desires the idea has been suggested at several townships nomination meet ings and has been in the air and up for consideration at various times in recent years as it was pointed out in discussion the town ship levies on the school section the amount required by the trustees which should be paid into the treasury by december 15th of the same year the practice in the past has been that the requirement of the sections was paid out by the township treasurer in one payment shortly after the 15th of december however even in a normal year on december 15 th there is a great deal ot unpaid taxes a considerable portion of the school money has not been paid into the township treasury and yet in the past the municipality has advanced the money and paid it to the school sections it was pointed out that in the great majority of cases the school sections do not actually need this money until well on in the next year and so it seemed poor business for the township to be pay ing interest on the money borrowed to pay the requirements until such time as all taxes were paid the statute provides that payment to the school sections may be made from time to time as required and the members of council are confi dent- that they will have the support and cooperation of the various school boards in the action which they have taken which will be to the mutual benefit of all concerned mr warren wilson of the north york townline complained regarding the payment for a culvert at his laneway the townsnlp had improv ed the road and it was his under standing that bo had to pay for the culvert at his own gate he agreed to do this if the others did he has paid for his but said that bo was the only one who bad paid he was wilting to be fair and pay for his culvert but if he paid for bis own he didnt want to pay bis share of the other fellows as well it was pointed out that the other resi dents along the road should pay for their culverts the same as mr wilson and that although they had not done so the usual ouo dollar a loot will be collected from them mr william gough suffered the loss ot a horse while working for the township on road work he wonder ed if be could be reimbursed tor his loss the horse dropped dead while drawing a plow ou the road the municipality accepts no respons ibility for such loss and no action was taken the quarter

forty per cent the drainage work on the sixth concession cost 705 and it was felt that it was a very satisfactory job residents of the hunt subdivision just south of richmond hill appeal ed for some improvement to the road the subdivision has been opened up for some years and a number of fine homes have been established but the township has never assumed the roadway because it is only 33 feet

impressive observance than a public holiday reports from all over the province indicate an almost normal amount of business activity on armistice day wednesday november the eleventh it appears that the dominion government made a mistake in declaring armistice day a statutory holiday it is an unseasonable time for a public holiday and comes too close to thanksgiving day conditions in canada at the present tlmo do not call for more holi days but tor more work days and a public holiday in the middle of the week if generally observed usually causes a serious distruption of business as it did on wednesday thoso who are enthusiastically pressing for a total cessation of all work that it is possible to suspend on november llth a complete cessation of work for all employes at the samo tlmo is never possible are laboring under a sorlous misapprehension when they argue that tho general observation of a public holiday in memory of armistice day would be tho most fitting observation of that momorablo event long experience has proved that public holidays declared in honor of any particular ovont very rapidly loso their special signifi cance and merely servo as another occasion for a day ot merrymaking it would be vory regrettable to depart from tho custom of honoring tho memory of thoso who fell in the great war by the two minutes of silence hitherto observed at 11 oclock on armistice day nothing could be more impressive and any attempt to amplify this by a whole days cessation from business is doomed to failure it is wrong to assumo that those who arc not in favor of observing armistice day as a gonoral holiday arc any less loyal to the memory of our fallen heroes or less in sympathy if lth thoso who survive them than arc those who differ from them on this point
