discussion mr purkis asked council for reasons why the reductions did not effect other citizens in local municipalities council explained that they had no jurisdiction over the matter and that the reductions only affected farmers residing on a five or more acre farm the council meets again on march 1st at 1030 am the feelings of the great majority ot the people of stouffville and the township of markham were sorely hurt when in the last redistribu tion brought down in the dominion parliament the village of stouffville and the township of markham were thrown into the riding of york east the conservatives estimated they could do better with the over whelming liberal vote in stouffville when balanced off against the equally onesided district in the eouthend of east york there are great possibilities of the two muni- cipalities now being restored to north york it is proposed to amend the redistribution act of 1933 and the matter has been up for dis cussion on the floor of parliament col v p muloek is anxious to have the riding boundaries on the east restored to their old position and speaking on the matter he is reported in hansard as saying before dealing with this subject i should like to make it quite clear that i am not asking to have any people removed from the riding of york north i am here to ask for justice for the people of the town ship of markham and the village of stouffville in regard to the treatment they received at the hand of the last redistribution committee i have in my hand a diagram of the riding ot york north as it existed before the last redistribution together with a diagram of the riding as it appeared after the redistribution and i quite understand what was meant the othe night when the hon member for leeds said that this problem was al most baffling when they reached the north end of my riding they were at lake simcoe they could not do any thing there down the side they had cooks bay and they could not very well drain that but as they worked south their troubles became less and less finally they added on a bit to the south took out a part here and a jog there which was the village of stouffville and so on i might say that at the time the last redistribu tion took place york north was the one really rural riding of the three york seats markham and stouffville are definitely rural districts but these people were taken out against their wishes and against their inter ests and moved into a riding which is predominantly urban new magisterial district likely evening telegram insists tlmt h a sanders of stouffville is likely appointee since the death of magistrate douglas davidson of mimico there has beon renewed talk about a general revision of the magisterial work in the county of york and a likely successor to magistrate davidson in this connection the evening telegram oias on at least two occasions mentioned tho name of ii a sanders of stouffville as the likely appointee although the re port could not be confirmed at queens park there has been agi- itation for a police court at new market to serve the northern sec tion of the county and if mr sanders is appointed he may be located there mr sanders states that he has had no intimation of the proposed appointment however if it is made as forecast in the daily press it will be a great source of satisfaction to stouffville where the
