secure socalled free transportation for children of our section and goodwood attending upper schools in either uxbridge or stouffville we hope our farmers will not be mislead in the matter as after it is all boiled down the cheapest way to transport our children is for the parents to attend the matter themselves if uxbridge or stouffville are asked to pay a portion those schools charge whatever is paid into the per capita cost of education and we have to pay that per capita educational gosts are high and any attempt to saddle transportation to the present tax bills will not be met with favor we understand that stouffville with 14 pupils from the township refuses to adopt the plan of paying a portion of transportation but that ux bridge more anxious to secure scholars will pay however the higher cost of education in ux bridge makes it still cheaper to send the pupils to stouffville uxbridge per capital cost is 65c and stouffville 43c compulsory dimming of motor car headlights at a dis
