stouffville water works system have reason to know a break in the water pipe under the boule vard in front of william balls home provided an unenviable job for these men john castle and john gower but they were equal to the task digging through frost is inches deep they got down to the seat of the trouble pumped out the water and made the repairs in good time the boys certainly earn the thanks of the water users when they undertake such work under the try ing conditions which prevailed that day the leak had made its way along the outside of the pipe lead ing into mr balls cellar which was filling with water the constant plea for wiping out of county councils as unnecessary bodies is on the increase such inci dents are occurred in the york county last week is largely respon sible for the people becoming dis gusted with county councils york county council appointed two members as their representatives on the york county childrens aid board and it was whispered that these committeemen would receive 7 per day for their services as do all other committeemen when meet ing in between sessions of the coun cil the childrens aid board of probably fifteen members all serve without any remuneration and even pay their own travelling expenses and for the county to send in their representatives at such lucrative fees is certainly something that will not go down with the public or the members of the aid very well the county council condemned the childrens aid for their alleged extravagance and rightly so but the sort of example set by the coun cil is to say the least not very com mendable mr bert smith has resumed his former position at the greenhouses of muston sons mr smith will move his family back to town shortly and the citizens in general will rejoice in

broke down on a city street last friday afternnoon and it took until two oclock next morning to make repairs although the truck only had a broken spring the truck was passing along huron street when a rear spring snapped and the truck was taken to ernie stouffers garage nearby investiga tion revealed that there wasnt a dodge spring in the whole city hence one had to be made with the resultant delay
