3307 trucking turnips to rochesterny mr ward hallman one of the progressive farmers on the tth con cession of markham is selling his turnips this fall in rochester ny turnips from stouffville are shipped by freight almost every year to points even farther south over the american border hence the above information about sir hallman is not exactly startling news but when we inform our readers that mr hallman is trucking his turnips all the way to market then it is something unusual to think about several loads have gone forward within the past few weeks mr george lee being the carter he has an american truck license hence there is no difficulty from this source in crossing the border the rochester price is sufficiently attractive to warrant carting them such a great distance

stouffville municipal council for 1931 was held on tuesday evening very little business was transacted the council having all their business well completed at the previous session some consideration was given the financial report in an effort to give the ratepayers a complete statement of all the towns financial business it is proposed to include this year a report of the hydro electric department also a printed statement of the school receipts and expenditures these two important spending departments have heretofore been conspicious by their absence unquestionably the citizens will appreciate the effort of the finance committeo of the council in issuing a booklet that will leave criticism unnecessary too much of course should not be expected in one year as considerable work is involved in such a change and the time between closing the books on december 15 and the nomination date is very short the council expressed their appreciation to reeve morden for the promptness and

retinesi made by mr everton smith for the payment of 14 being the amount mr smith paid over to the school trustees at ringwood for the privilege of taking his four children to the public school at ringwood during this current year rather than educating them in stouffville when children attend a school outside the school section to which they belong the trustees may make a charge which is usually 50c per pupil per month stouffville school itself collects around 5 or 6 per month from outside pupils in this way the act also provides that the parent making such payment may recover the amount from his own school trustees provided the schoo in the outside section is niorf accessible to him than the school in his own section mr smith continued that ring- wood school is more accessible for his children he being the teacher there on the other hand the school hoard are of the opinion that stouffville school is closer to his home and otherwise available hence their action in refusing the 14 asked by the ringwood teacher if mr smith could prove that ringwood is more accessible to him than stouffville he could de mand the amount asked the case hinges on the interpretation placed on the word accessible webster says it means easy of approach public school inspector wilkin son filed his inspectors report from his visit here in the fall he found the teaching and discipline good throubout the school and con gratulated the board and staff alike on the standard prevailing in this institution only a few minor accounts were presented for payment when adjournment was made on this

township he intim ated that there was every likelihood of the contest for reeveship not coin- been intimated to him that his old advisary exreeve owen e davis would again bo in the field and as mr cassie intends to remain in the contest an election is assured in this event which is a certainty the reeve is informed that deputy reeve isaac catherwood might possibly meet with opposition from other members of the council all of whom we understand are willing to remain where they are in the event of th contest for reeveship not com ing off the people in the south end of uxbridge feel that
