I Wmmihm (;eason of the large increase in popuâ€" jation in the district, will, it is exâ€" pecteq, soon be required for public school purposes. e i _ The school at Stoney Creek it was pointed out ,woulid not in any way i@te ere with theâ€" Winona continuâ€" ation school, which is doing such exâ€" cg}e work, but would /provide a school close enough to the students of the sections named that they would have ithe advantage of high school educiltion while living a their parâ€" Assistant Provincial Inspector Chisholm and Provincial High School Inspector Mills spoke on the feasibility of the scheme ,the cost of building and operation, and the legisâ€" lative grants to which such an instiâ€" tution would be entitled. A tax rate of 114 mills on the assessment of $3,000,000 in the district, would be sufficient to carry on the work once the school was built. The institution could be built at a small tax upon the ratepayers on a 20â€"year debenture plan. |â€" f B.A., and Provisional â€" Inspectors Chisholm and Mills. That consoliâ€" dated schools were unnecessary â€" in that section of the township below the mountain was noted by Inspecâ€" tor Robinson, who paid high tribute to the people for their very active and practical aid to education in providâ€" ing for their children graded schools. The fact that the Hamilton collegiate institute might at any time be closed to county pupils would be a distinct hardship to students in Saltfleet who desired to continue their education, after passing the entrance, was strongly impressed upon the meeting by all the speakers. A continuation schoolâ€"in Stoney Creek would provide a means of caring for students from school sections Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 11, all of which were within a reaâ€" sonable distance of the village. | Higher education for the students in the township of Saltfleet may be provided by the building of a. conâ€" tinuation school in Stoney Creek. On Tuesday evening, at a meeting of the ratepayers of S. S. No. 3, Saltfleet, the matter was seriously â€"discussed, and the conclusion reached that in the erection of such an institution, much would be done to alleviate the problem now confronting that thickâ€" ly populated section of the township which lies below the mountain, in providing a means of educating the students who have graduated from the public _ schools.

After reviewing various: changes in the duties of Sheriff in England, the report proceeds to deal with the position of Sheriff in Canada, where the occupant of the office never exercised judicial functions., The early history of the office in this country is rather vague. The second ordinance of :General Murray, the Governor of Quebec, dated Septemâ€" g| ber 17, 1764, provided for the early Under the institution‘ of frank pledgeâ€"the earliest police system on recordâ€"the country was didived into "tithings," or groups of famiâ€" lies of ten heads, who were mutualâ€" ly responsible for each other‘s good behavior, and bound to assist in producing any one of their number who transgressed before officers of justice. . Ten "tithings".. formed _ a hundred," and when the Sheriff held his "tourn," or court, throughâ€" out the~county twice yearly, hcl inâ€" quired of the heads of the "hunâ€" dreds" and ‘"tithings‘"‘ as> to what offenses had been committed since his last visit. Most offensesâ€" were punished‘ by fines, and the levying of fines was the general ‘business of the Sheriff‘s court. Had Wide Jurisdiction â€"\ ‘The Sheriff‘ sitting in is {court, ordered the arrest of persons accusâ€" ed of grave crimes, and tried all offenses. The Sheriff, sitting in the county court, or, as it is called, the Sheriff‘s court, had, until some time after the Norman Conquest, unâ€" limited jurisdiction in the civil afâ€" fairs of the country. With the Norman Conquest a change came over the Sheriff‘s . court. The Sheriff, or "Viceâ€"comes," became in reality a producer and collector of revenue for the King, by whom he was appointed. In Saxon times the Sheriff had probably been elected by the Freeholders, but the Norman Sheriff, or Viceâ€"comes, was appointed by the Crown, and had to show some substantial evidence of his zeal for the Crown. Hence he usually enâ€" deavored to collect as many fines as possible. This made the Sheriff‘s of< fice very unpopuular with the public, and, when the office was misused for the perversion of justice, the illâ€"will in which it was held was greatly inâ€" creased. â€" The Norman Sheriff was not particular as to details in case of legal transgressions, but simply fnied the whole township or borough, and left the community to settle who was to pay. * # Originally, the report states, the Sheriff was the Reeve, or, in other words, the High Magistrate of the shire. He was the executive officer of the Crown, and to him the Royal writs were issued. . He could arouse the countryside to arrest a felon. Sometimes he paid a fixed sum for the privilege of collecting the taxes of his county. ie se t c ty The Sheriff‘s court is continued in the Channel Islands to the present day. â€"The Sheriff (or bailiff, as\ he is there called) presides over the court, the Judges being farmers and tradesmen, who sit on the Bench arrayed in gorgeous robes. The old complaint of partiality on the part of the Judges is still heard there.

His office is largely an honorary one, and he receives no salary. He meets the Judge in state when he comes to: hold assizes. He has a large retinue of servants. â€"At one time he had so many servants that a law was passed prohibiting him from having more than 40 manâ€"servants in livery at an assize. : In fact, the qffice involves an: outlay rather than‘ provides an income. f "The Sheriff in Ontario, , with his income of $1,800 a year, cannot afâ€" ford to keep any retinue whatever," says the report. "Consequently,,. in order to maintain the traditions of his ‘historic office,‘ he has to perform personally the exalted offices and the lower ones. . . . He usually appears at court dressed in special uniform and with cocked hat and sword, while behind the scenes he performs offices many of which would in England be performed by ‘menâ€"servants in livâ€" éry.‘. No Ontario Sheriff should be selection <of,. "six. good* and suffiâ€" cient fmnen to serve as bailiffs and subâ€"bailiffs for each parish," the Govâ€" ernor to make the appointment from those nomniated. required. to array himself in this fashion. It puts him to large exâ€" pense, and, instead of adding to the dignity of the court, it provokes to mirth." The commissioners find that the office of Sheriff, despite its long hisâ€" toric record, is, as now constituted in Ontario, a dying office. ‘‘"The Sherâ€" iffs," they say, ‘"appear to be well paid for what they do, but they have so little to do that they cannot earn a living income. Many of those who receive Government grants are overâ€" paid for the comparatively | little work that they perform." According to Mr. C. L. Dunbar, a barrister of Guelph, who is quoted in the report, the Sheriff in Ontario is nothing but "a glorified bailiff with some ministerial duties that a clerk could perform." â€" He is “tht? survival of an ancient and honorable office, but really nowadays he is pretty much a Judge‘s valet."

Was Most Popular All this may sound as if young Wellington were a boring and unâ€" interesting youth, but his boyhood friends will tell you that he was "the most popular young fellow in . these parts." One gathers that Wellington was rather a young blood of the day, but that he filled the role in a judiâ€" cious way which prevented his beâ€" coming obtrusive. _ Anyone who sees him now will notice the inevitable pink flower in his buttonhole. That is merely the | natural sequel of youthful years in which the wearer kept careful watch of fashion‘s latest foibles. Those were the days of the Prince Albert coat and the bellâ€"botâ€" tom trousers and Wellington‘s choice in each of those requisities was the despair and envy of the town. Popuâ€" lar with the ladies, was young Welâ€" lington : Hay. He nevef'missed a dance or a party within miles and when he married Josephine Riggs, "Joey" as Listowel still Galls her, it was conceded that the beau and the belle of the town had captured each other. ul Young Wellington did not play Young Wellington did not play cricket or baseball and he was an indifferent skater. He took only a perfunctory interest in horse racing which claimed so much of his friends‘ attention. But in one acâ€" tivity he ied the crowd and, conâ€" sistently enough, it was the fashionâ€" able thing of the dayâ€"eyeling. Not Anything Freakish. Thus, if Francis Wellington Hay be a prodigy, certainly Listowel should know. . Listowel‘s verdict, howevery is that her son of recent fame is neather a prodigy NOF 2 phenomenon nor anything else freakâ€" ish in design. One learns, in fact, that if there is any one thing which Wellington Hay is nor it is a freak. The most remarkable thing About him is his supreme normality: Francis Wellington Hay. Those who knew» him six months ago labeled him only as One of the Liberal memâ€" bers who had been lucky enough to survive, the U. E. Q. déiuge .of 1919, and to most people he is merely a name . which has recurred with inâ€" creasing frequency during the last few days. r Listowel should know Wellington Hay intimately, of course, because it has known him for nearly fiftyâ€" cight years. . Wellington Hay was born here in November, 1864. Hte went to school here. He was marâ€" ried here. He has craved his career here. Last night The Stir saw the kundred foot lot of land on which stood in turn the small frame house of Wellington Hay‘s birth, the house of his father‘s later prosperity, and the present house of Wellington‘s married years, . Within a radius of fifty feet Wellington Hay has found his home since birth. f A great many people are asking a similar question since the mantle of leadership was draped gracefully on that gentleman‘s shoulders by six hundred Ontario Liberals in solemn convention .+ yesterday afternoon. Fame has come rather suddenly to Listowel, Ont., March| 3.â€"If you would know the public mind spend a receptive hour in any railway smoking car, for its gos‘gip is the faithful barometer of thxf people‘s sentiment. . At any rate in a smoker of the Listowel train lastynight The Star heard a question which accurâ€" ately represents Ontario‘s present thought. An aggressive looking genâ€" tleman, with neat christy atilt and bespatted ankles resting on an opâ€" posite chair was buried in the evenâ€" ing paper. _ Suddenly the paper came down with a crash and an aggrieved voice asked fretfully: "Say, who the deuce is this bird Wellington Hay?"

The saving of power taken at last year (1921) charges would mean at least $800, and as time goes on and services increase will mean proporâ€" tionately more. The lower pressure also means less wear and tear on the pumps, a larger delivery of water, fewer leaks, one less engineer at the pump house than at present. It can be sumâ€" maried as follows _ If a reservoir of earth with emâ€" bankments faced with stone and ceâ€" ment should be built the cost would be less by oneâ€"third. The outside cost of the most mod ern type of reinforced concrete reser voir of this capacity would. h $28,000 (exclusive of land). Actual yearly volr.. :. 247 If a feservoir of, say 3% million gallons capacity was constructed, it would safely take care of 7 or 8 days‘ supply, allowing at that for the growth of the town to the extent of 150 additional houses. The capacity of the reservoir when completely filled is 140,000 gallons, which is about oneâ€"third of a day‘s supply. The reservoir now in use has ani elevation of 303.8 feet" above lake | level, and shows at the pump house, a ’ static head of 120 1bs. and a pumping | presure of 156 lbs. ! 4 The pumping idea is all right to a certain extent, but is the most costly one in the end, as it would mean that the pumps at the lake would have to be run almost continuously as they are now in order to supply the demand for water. With a three million capacity reservoir pumping operations would be cut in two and the strain on the whole system would be lessened by two hunâ€" dred per cent./ No matter which system is adopted one or the other has got to be gone forward with at once. One good conflagration with a shortage of water will pay for half a dozen auxiliary pumps or reservoirs. _ In this connection The Independent has secured a short article from the pen of a well informed Engineer, dealing with the approximate cost and the operating of both of these systems. Fire risks are too great and our town is getting too big for us to monkey along any longer with an inadequate reservoir or without an emergency pumping system at the lake. One or the other has got to come immediately. _ It would cost in the neighborhood of five thousand dollars to instal a gasoline or steam auxiliary pumping plant at the lake. A reservoir with a capacity of about three million gallons of water would cost about Thirty thousand dollars. Power trouble had been experienced for hours before it finally gave out entirely and consequently it was impossible to get the reservoir full, and as a result there was no water of any consequence in the "eightâ€"quart pail" when the juice gave out for good. Even with the reservoir full the citizens would have been out of water before ten o‘clock on Friday, for even in the winter time the demand is away greater than the capacity of our "bucket brigade" reservoir. â€" t saving power......) 80U saving, engineer.. 1000 saving, leaks, unknown saving, wear and THINK IT OVER FACTS AND FIGURES v‘i“"! § E"C\."Z-. fi eeeluiis cost of reser $4 TX e oi o reiiine e tirinest s 4 U $1800,.00 $231.00 o oys AG m a ae T9 ko on m \. t Petes e e oA o pepaeans (o M be Semnen XWataat oosts F)'.\‘:fl:g!

Indeed, his recâ€" ords prove that during the past deâ€" cade the superstition has been disâ€" proved in eight out of ten year. Durâ€" ing that same period the lion has only ventured to even make an apâ€" pearance in the ring on four Ooccaâ€" sions, as compared to the lamb‘s recâ€" ord of sixteen, as shown in the folâ€" lowing table: 1921 1920 1919 T918 1917 1916 1915 1914 1913 1912 March came in like a lamb on Wedâ€" nesday last. How will it o out? Will it greet All Fools Day with a bleat or a roar? The blustery month of fable and fairy tale arrived in a most lambâ€" like manner and it is doubtful if it will go out otherwise. During the discussion which folâ€" lowed Mr. Rutherford‘s address it was suggested that roadâ€"builders could benefit themselves greatly by seeing the work of other engineers in actual progress. The suggestion was that a tour of the builders be organâ€" ized on the lines of the now famous Michigan Pike tour through Ontario. Because of the expense attached to such a tour, and the uncertainty of the method oftits financing, however, no definite action was taken. - MARCH CAMETH LIKE A LAMBEKIN W. M. STEWART DRUG CO., LIMITED Road scrapers, and tools of varâ€" ious descriptions, it is claimed, were taken possession of by workmen. One charge accuses a workman on the road of taking home enough ceâ€" ment to build a large sized cistern with which he never paid!‘ the county for. Since the investigation has been mooted, it is reported, that this man has paid for.the cement. 4 What action the County Council will ~take after investigating the charges today, is not known, but it is believed that court cases will follow, if the charges are proven at this sitting. _ At the Good Roads Convention in Toronto last week Frank N. Rutherâ€" ford, Road Engineer of Lincoln counâ€" ty, delivered a paper on "The Early Preparation of County Road Proâ€" grams," in the course of which he urged the necessity of coâ€"ordinating each year‘s program with that of the year before. County roads, in the first place, should be divided into the Glaaé*smmm{fv‘&‘fivwn- dary roads, according to/ their imâ€" portance,. and the weight/{and type of road laid should be in accordance with the demands which traffic would make upon it. By such procedure, roads would last much longer and would give the greatest service. The Canadian climate broke the roadâ€"building efforts up into wellâ€"deâ€" fined seasons. As a result of this seasonal work, and because of the condition of changing County Counâ€" cils from year to year, road work was not, in any case, coâ€"ordinated. Work in many counties was undertaken at different places before other work, which had been previously underâ€" taken, had been carried through to completion. He pleaded for a policy of continuance of construction, and advised the Superintendents to . Obâ€" tain this condition through their County Councils as much as possible. Serious charges against some of the county road employees are being investigated today by Lincoln County Council, and if proven true, will likeâ€" ly result in court cases. . At the last meeting the County Council, several charges from differâ€" ent sources were made against cerâ€" tain employees of the road construcâ€" tion crews of last year and thus subâ€" stantiated the vast number of rumors that had been afloat for some time. Some of these charges were made in writing and the Council decided upon an investigation into them. Some of the Council were in favor of having County ~Judge Campbell hold an investigation and a motion to that effect was presented, but defeatâ€" ed on a vote of 8â€"6, the majority of the Council preferring to hold a preâ€" liminary investigation first, ¢ So far as is known at present the most of the charges are centred around the county store house at Beamsville. According to the peoâ€" ple making the charges, county workâ€" men made a habit of using the county gasoline to run their flivvers with, and even went so far as to break a lock off the door of the store house to secure gasoline.
