height for the season as the people flock in from the city and other points every day some of them are m town and their stimulus to the local trade is very consider able merchants who cater carefully to this business are wise in their own interests inadequate water rates if the water rates in the village of stouffville were on a comparative basis with the surrounding towns there would be sufficient surplus earned each year to pay four mills off our general tax rate thus enabling the council to drop the rates by this amount in making tnis statement this paper would not suggest that our rates should be in creased to the level of other places in order to do this but we realize that the present low level set for water is a mis take and sooner or later somebody is going to tackle the job of revising rates for both domestic and commercial users so that the town in general will earn some money that may be applied to meeting the general expenses of the village and to reduced taxation

there isnt enough work for people in the country now sd why bring in more to go on relief manufacturers also have been active in opposition when the suggestion has been made to have foreign indus tries set up business in canada now it is the farmers turn to speak and the spokesman for them this week is herbert h hannam secretary of the united farmers of ontario speaking before the civic farm placement com mittee in session at toronto mr hannanm declared that farmers would be found supporting the policy if the federal government decided to adopt a vigorous immigra tion policy fair to all industries and all groups at the same time he issued this warning but farmers object and even use fighting language when they hear a broker or a merchant or a manufacturer or a laborer recommend subsidizing immigrants so long as the immigrants are placed on the land and not permitt ed to start in their particular line of business the government at ottawa is facilitating the move of the bata shoe company from czechoslovakia to establish a big factory near trenton ontario it is inter esting to note too that a toy manufacturing concern from the same country is to be established in that
