page two g the tribune stouffville ontario thursday may 18 1939 established 1888 a member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher notes and comments we have been impressed the few fine evenings this spring with the way main street becomes crowded with automobiles and it leads us to wonder how big the crowd will grow on thursday and saturday evenings ere the height of the season is reached business men have speculated on the possibility of providing a parking space somewhere off the main centre yet close enough as to be convenient for motorists to walk to their cars so far the question has never been solved but it is a problem that a business mens organization should take into considera tion and by the way the recent meeting of business men did not complete the program of the evening when the question of daylight saving came up everything else was left and other problems such as parking space were never thought of it would foe a good idea to meet again and get on with some of those other items that should have con sideration of the business interests the orangeville banner raises rather an interesting point which we have frequently thought about when we are billed each year 500 for a post office box we have thought that 50c for small boxes and 1 for larger ones might be paid without murmur but here is the banners angle on the matter a movement is afoot to secure cheaper box rental in the post offices throughout canada those who are interesting themselves actively in the mat ter point out that city people have their mail delivered to their homes and offices without charge farmers too have the mail carried to their gates and deposited in their mail boxes without any charge holders of post office boxes in the towns and villages have to go to the post office and carry their own mail to their homes or places of business on the surface it looks very much like discrimination against the town and village box holders the wonder is that the paying box holders have so long continued to pay without protest when the big towners and rural dwellers receive free service provision for recompense to the post master for the loss to his revenue should be made and continued pressure should be brought to bear upon ottawa to abolish entirely the rental of boxes to citizens resident in towns and villages greatest good to greatest numbers should be the policy the construction of a decent road with tarvia top between stouffville goodwood and uxbridge town is still being made a political football with the usual result that no road is ever built unfortunately this year the same- old tactics are to be used to dictate to the hepburn goveinment and the department of highways as to what portion of the road should be hardtopped if any some business interests in the town of uxbridge are pushing for a hard top road northeast of the town so that persons liv ing in that town will have to travel north and east to reach toronto and people living in uxbridge township would derive no benefit at all the explanation for demanding a hard top road in that direction is said to be chiefly sponsored by business interests who fear that a road running south would deti business from the town it is an admission that those who think that way fear that business gravi- ates south and in order to prevent this happening they are opposed to building a road through uxbridge stouffville has two or more roads running south to tor onto and there is not a business man in town who would say one word against these roads ibeing as they are they know that we derive business from the south that would not bp got if poor roads had to be travelled to reach stouffville the natural and fair thing to do is to start construction of the stouffville road either at the north entrance to stouffville or at the west end of goodwood and extend it to the highway at stouffville such a road would be of service to uxbridge town and twpv alike and to the general public who come from the north enroute to toronto mortgage bank bill features following are chief features of the proposed central mort gage bank legislation 1 initial total of 210 millions provided to adjust existing mortgages and to finance new lending by member companies of
