problem the careless manner in which bicycles are just dropped on the sidewalk when the rider wishes to go into a store is presenting a more or less problem since wheels lying on the walks are a

10th con just a small incident in town affairs there is a distinct advantage in having practical men on municipal councils especially in small places like stouffville where councillors are charged with the duty of look ing after the water and hydro utilities of the town instead of these departments being operated by a special commission who be come very proficient over the years the reeve has been stalling for days against digging out the hydr ant at the post office corner because it was labelled as faulty around the threads down in the ground four or five feet its a difficult task to remove this hydrant necessita ting as it would the shutting off of the water in town for a period of several hours one of his henchmen on the council e a button being some thing of a plumber the reeve appealed to him to use his best endeavours to correct the trouble without removing the hydrant since mr button was strongly of the opinion that the trouble was above ground near the top of the hydrant everybody shook their head it has to come out councillor button stood alone declaring there was every chance that the fault did not lav in the bottom of the hydrant but at the top mr button was fair ly sure of that and so the top was removed new packing and a good supply of crease annlied and now the post office hydrant is the best working one in town i want them all done over the same wav said the reeve in commending council lor bfitton one of our readers offers the sug gestion that a short note of thanks ought to be inserted in the paper on behalf of the trainmen on this line of the cnr

not come again reddy was sitting up on a nice rise of land perfectly still surveying the panorama dott ed with nice chickens that no doubt made his mouth water mr reesor raised his gun took what he thought was careful and unerring aim bang but the sly old fox just ambled off not appearing to be in anv hurry the shot missed the target and the target was gone mr reesor hopes he wounded the fox but if he did it didnt encourage him to jump or to move off at any speedy pace the hbit of the fox was to wait until the birds fanned out over the field in the early morning then he could have a good time running among them causing destruction of much more than a fox could eat leave stouffville daylight time to toronto to uxbridge a 715 am a 350 pm b 1225 pm b 925 am c 415 pm c 240 pm b 820 pm a daily
