quite a section of the week ly press in the recent past includ ing this paper the tribune ex pressing the opinion that because of the provincial government talking so much out of their hand county councils should be abolished it is somewhat refreshing to find one newspaper at least standing firmly back of the county bodies last week the coderich signal discussed this matter and some of tio arguments advanced are interest ng the signal believes that in com parison with the way the provincial government does business the county councils are far more economical a county council will do anything in its power to keep the tax rate down while the pro vincial government apparently worries about how it is goiug to spend the money rather than how it is going to get the money and is continually adding new methods of taxation it would be better to leave affairs in the hands of county councils which favor the pay as you go plan rather than allowing the provincial government to gradually centralize various works were the county road system for example administered by the pro vince it is believed the cost would be vastly increased if we are to do away with extravagance in govern mental bodies it is not to the county councils we must look first in the past few years the pro vincial government had taken over large sections of the highways and other matters such as the appoint ment of school inspectors have been removed from the control of county councils the goderich signal believes that if there is to be any readjustment such matters decentralization should be the aim the most direct superintendance is the cheapest and usually the most efficient for the sake or economy it would he better to decrease the power of the pro vincial government and increase that of the county councils provid ed the latter would get down to business promptly at each session and eliminate a lot of mileage and per diem an honorable dis charged accounts or trouble can be settled

community betterment and even the cause of religion in its wider applications are subjects with fare well at the hands of weekly editors take for example a paper in the county of bruce which may be identified as having lor senior editor a much travelled man who was once a wellliked member of the legislature in one issue recently his front page contained ten items that might fairly be called religious although not pietistic in tone besides six other items of a constructive nature two prodigious fowl suppers a church anniversary a young peoples meeting and a memor ial service for pioneers make up the items of local signifi cance a laymens missionary banquet addressea by a sailor missionary an illustrated lec ture on northern indians the filling of a goodwill car for the west by six churches these are also reported with insight and generosity then there is an account of a mans gift of 500 pounds of honey to saskatchewan farmers and this report the editor aptly sweetens with a quotation from scripture and most touching evidence of the papers interest in all good deeds is the an nouncement of a kincaid hospital fund by which the people of chesley and district are invited to save the medical centre in a hardhit western town it all this does not look like the handiwork of mcdonalds of the chesley enterprise then all guesses have gone astray and the genuine article in

being enforced toronto wholesale potato and pro duce dealers last week agreed to form a committee to petition the dominion and provincial govern ments and the city council to see that the condition was remedied and that the produceis receive more i for their products i if the truckers continued to es cape the commercial license they said both wholesalers and retailers could not survive the competition samuel ilisey the chairman held the truckrs responsible for the low price which the farmers received for their potatoes if these truckers were properly licensed he said many of them would discontinue operation a merkur of the western pro duce company said that formerly he handled 25300 hags of potatoes a week while now he was only handling 150 hags per week if the price of potatoes jumped tomorrow from 35 to co cents he would still lack a turnover because of the truckers trade it was only fair he said for the city to enforce the bylaw dealing with the licensing of truckers mr hisey claimed that the freight rate on potatoes was ridiculously high he advocated and the others agreed that the dominion govern ment should he asked to look into the matter of freight rates a slight argument arose over the relative qualities of ontario and new brunswick potatoes mr ilisey said the new brunswick potatoes would sell for 10 cents higher than the ontario potatoes at any time because of their superiority of grad ing ninety percent of the ontario fanners do not grade their potatoes properly he said it is a disgrace there should be potato inspectors appointed by the government and stationed at every main artery leading into the city j h mitchell of alliston moved that a committee be formed to wait upon the dominion provincial and city governments enforcement of the licensing of truckers and to see what could he done to enable pro ducers to receivo moro for their products the resolution which pass ed unanimously was seconded by c stovel of toronto in the failure of past

and to refresh the memory of all the paper reprints the whole petition presented before the council in 1s90 as follows gentlemen whereas there has been no provisions made in the past for the lighting of our streets and the public have been dependent on the kindness of private individuals to furnish lights on particularly dark nights and whereas it is inconsistent with the progress and dignity of our growing village that the public should he thus dependant and whereas the first cost of placing say twelve lamps in the most conspicluous and advantageous positions would he abou ten coins per head of the ratepayers and the cost of maintaining them on such nights and during such hours as your honorable body might deem advisable is computed to be about 0 cents per night therefore wo beg leave to ask you as the chosen ivpresntatlves ol the ratepayers f stouffville to grant us such a sum is would suflice to light our streets in the manner suggested and your petitioners as in duty hound will
