tion draws 12000 per year as leader of the government and 6- 000 extra as minister of education his total salary is therefore 18000 yearly and not 16000 as stated last week in this paper the announcement that the ontario government will reduce the number of seats before the next election will be received wita geneial satisfaction everyone knows that we are tremendously overgoverned thus the action of the henry government is a com mendable one the minister of education has issued a statement that a reduc tion would be made by the ontario government on all grants to public schools in ontario this will place an increased burden on the rural sections where the trusteas have already reduced salaries and other expenses to a minimum they are now faced with making further salary cuts or passing on to the ratepayers in extra taxes the loss entailed through a reduction in government grants the move on the- part of the dept of education is unfortunate from another point of view many boards of trustees had planned to reduce operating costs so that a lower tax rate might be struck with the government stepp ing in with a 20 per cent reduction in grants it will now be impossible to pass on any saving to the tax payer although the governments budget will look better by a couple of million dollars york county council city of toronto would contri bute to suburban education costs

result of york county councils hearty eu- dorsation of steps suggested by the metropolitan areas committee in a report submitted last week lending wholehearted support councillors voted an appropriation of 500 to be used in compiling of a report to be submitted to the spring session of the council showing the effects of such an area upon the units of the county and also upon the city of to ronto right of the bordering municipali ties to share in the taxation of high ly assessed factories and business houses of the city of toronto the livelihood of which aepends largely upon suburban business was echoed by reeve alfred j 15 gray of york township chairman of the areas committee and reeve r m leslie a member of the executive would meet monthly a verbal bombshell was hurled into the centre of thecouncil session by reeve rm lesliewithout warn ing in the late hours of the after noon meeting the chief magistrate of east york suggested that county council eliminate its annual ses sions of two weeks in january june and november and meet two days a month councillors hastily roared their disapproval of such a pro cedure and a general pandemonium resulted warden elliott read the bylaw prepared by mr leslie and was interrupted by a rising crescen do of shouts lost lost the ma jority of councillors shouted not to be frightened by the demonstration reeve leslie rose to his feet and succeeded in gaining a hearing we could do better busi ness the problems of our muni cipalities would be fresh in our minds it would be a better ar rangement all around he said reeve alex mackenzie of wood- bridge seconded the motion and it went to a vote nay- chorused the councillors drowning the hurried yeas of reeves leslie and mac kenzie a standing vote was taken and the motion was declared lost explaining the system leslie said gram reeve r m leslie said that that by meeting twice a month coun cillors indemnities would be reduced to cover 24 days as is now the case councillors indemnities cover 42 days suggest wqvic project the marshy swamplands of the holland river was the centre of a heated debate in the afternoon ses sion of the county body maintain ing that such an undertaking would provide work for hundreds of county men out of work j jefferson of king county asked that council re quest the government to commence construction of goocr roads through the reclaimed sections of the hol land river marsh members of vari ous municipalities stated their views on such a move and when warden elliott called for a vote the motion was carried deputy reeve j o little of newmarket asked that a clause be added making it certain that only canadian labor be employ ed on such a project if the govern ment gives approval to the scheme rumored plans of a syndicate owning over 2 00b acres of swamp land to import eight dutch families from holland to aid in the reclama tion and cultivation of the marsh land met with the disapproval of many county council members who maintained that canadian labor would suffice that these people are used to such land and would be a decided acquisition was the opinion of other members im against such an import the canadian market is flooded with such foreignevs said reeve alex jmackenzie assessments up a table of the equalized assessment figures in effect in the various municipalities revealed an increase of 1126795 in the equalized ass essment of 1933 over 1932 the equalized assessment figure of 124- 456 s42 stands for a threeyear term being in force in 19343536 equalized assessment in 1932 was 120330047 the increased equalized figures are brought about by southern muni cipalities who have increased their assessment in order that they may show a better debenture debt pic ture reclaiming holland marsh may provide homes for back- totheland groups hamilton spectator one of the largest agricultural projects ever to be attempted in the province of ontario is under way after a period of negotiations and experiments at holland land ing in the county of york owned and supervised by two hamilton men samuel r manson well- known local sportsman and ex- controller and a g may more than two thousand acres of muck land has been purchased by these men following experiments made on the soil during the last year by the ontario government and the ontario agricultural col lege the tests proved to bo far beyond the wildest expectations and it is anticipated that within a few years this onetime marsh will be converted into the garden of ontario feel at home the land will be divided into ten- acre lots and upon these houses built with facilities for settlers to make their home in this fertile spot at tho recent time there are ten families of dutch people living on the marsh which is seven miles long and three miles wide there are even twenty miles of real dykes surrounding the lowlying ground which was drained some years ago by the municipality of king at a cost of 200000 it is a wellknown fact that the dutch farmer is a man who culti vates a small allotment but can raise from it because of his super ior knowledge of soil and the way to treat it more produce off his small tract than another farmer would off a much larger area this land will grow 49 tons of cel ery to the acre and a car load of onions on the same amount of land it is excellent for head let tuce strawberries peaches roots and flowers municipalities interested it was intimated that several municipalities were interested in the scheme of putting families on the land at this point rather than send them into the north country where it is almost impossible to grow produce to any extent and the market possibilities are slight under this plan the municipalities could put a family on a tenacre of muck land at a very small init ial cost and they would be self- supporting within two years due to the fertile ground mr manson stated that the market board of ontario was going to cooperate in systematizing the selling of the vegetables the townships in the surrounding area are arranging to construct- cold storage warehouses to facilitate the selling of produce at the proper time rather than flood the market with a bumpei crop the foodstuff would be stored and the price kept where there would still be a slight profit for tho producer the location of this land is some 30 miles north of toronto in the township of king in the county of york between schomberg and bradford the highway up to muskoka runs through the tract boots 8hob6 give your feet the attention and the shoes they need dr scholls zino pads for
