(MfLondon, . June 15 â€"The judicial committee of the privy countil toâ€" d‘ay"fbfused ‘a petition from South Grimsby township, in the province: of Onta:io, to appeal to thé privy counâ€" cil in an action against Lincoln counâ€" ty... Geofffey Lawrence, for the peâ€" titioner, explained that the matter in dispute was with regard to the conâ€" struction of the Hamilton and Niâ€" agara road. â€"The Ontario Municipal Act, of 1882, provided that the asâ€" sessment toward the improvement, which previously had been botne by the undivided township of Grimsby, sffould in future be paid by â€" North Grimsby, with no assessment against South Grimsby. The question arose as to whether that statute was now annulled by the subsequent Highways Act of the Ontario legislature. Lord Haldane said it was unsatisâ€" factory to ask the judicial committee of the privy council to define the construction of a local statute, beâ€" cause it might be altered tomorrow. Lord Harmoor remarked that if the question was of great importance the provincial legislature had a very Obvious way of handling it itself. Lord Haldane said: "I think it is a case for the supreme court of Privy Council Will Not Hear South : Grimsby‘s Case FEORBIDAPPEAL | BEAUTIFYING |â€" NEW INTAKE ‘ Thereupon their lordships of the judicial committee decided not to al+ low South Grimsby township to apâ€" peal.. |( C€anada, and if the public satisfied, then for the Onta lature.‘ â€" w ofs.s _ Previousy/to the year 1882 the townâ€" hips of North Grimsby and South Erimsby were all one municipality known as Grimsby Township. In that year a division was made and in gxe process of settlement South rimsby agreed to assume all the exâ€" pense of the | upkeep . of. all the bridges in South Grimsby, as really all the bridges in Grimsby township â€"were. in the southern porâ€" tion. . North Grimsby agreed to pay to the County of Lincoln each year South Grimsby‘s share of the upkeep of the Queenston and Grimsby Stone Road. This agreement worked out satisfactorily until 1917 when theQ. & G. became part of the County Road System under the new goyvernment plan. The County Road System also assumed control of the bridges in South Grimsby, thus relieving that township of their cost of upkeep. North _ Grimsby township then claimed that their agreement to pay South Grimsby‘s share of the Q. & G. cost was null. In 1918 the Counâ€" ty of Lincoln‘ billed South Grimsby for their road tax and the southern township refused to pay it and . the County sued them in the county court and got judgment. in the shuffle of roads under the new road system South Grimsby received sixâ€" teen miles of new road work which would continue to be maintained by the county. North Grimsby were given nine miles. Court which threw out the Meredith decision and sustained the decisions of the County Court and Justice Orde. Then South Grimsby decided to go to the Privy Council in England, with #he results as stated in the above deâ€" spatch from England. South Grimsby appealed the Counâ€" ty Court decision to Justice Meredith, who threw the case @ out. South Grimsby then appealed to the Appelâ€" late Courts and Justice Orde gave a decision upholding the County Court. South Grimsby appealed this decision again and Justice Meredith reversed it.

Going further, he said, "I have always enjoyed taking an evening stroll down to the lake and sitting along the bank in the twilight with the cool breezes blowing about me. Previously, I did not stay long in the pump house section. ° Now, I sit on the beautiful grass sward at the rear of the building and watch the moonbeams plaving on the water."

Saltfleet Township Fixing Up God‘s Acres Two years ago the township of Saltfleet â€" inaugurated a system whereby all cemeteries should be taken over by the municipality and cared for under the direction of a board. By the innovation a numâ€" ber of neglected cemeteries, where the pioneers of the district were buried, were improved and made beautiful. Last week the. board made its annual tour of inspection, and reports that in every case splenâ€" did .work has been done by Superinâ€" tendent James Hildreth. At present there are two cemeteries in the township, one at Tapleytown and "Felkers‘"â€"a private burying ground â€"not included in those under the jurisdiction of the cemetery board, but it is expected that arrangements will soon be made whereby these will also be a part of the township sysâ€" tem. 5 ‘ Since the scheme was inaugurated by Saltfleet, other municipalities in the province have taken it up, with the result that many cemeteries, that were for years neglected, are graduâ€" ally being made into places worthy of the fine old pioneers whose last restâ€" ing places they are. In some localiâ€" ties none of the descendants of the families buried in the district cemeâ€" teries are now resident there. The municipal system is especially adâ€" vantageous in such cases, as tâ€"ere is no one to care for the plots. / HAISTâ€"At Niagara Falls General Hospital, on Thursday, June 15th, 1922, to Mr. and Mrs. Reg. _Haist, 261 Fourth Avenue, a son. ump House Engineers Have Made a Beauty Spot A GOOD WORK omene pio Ry CR \ ds ISZ, aU lk x T e it 498 5 SS s T84 t S ssm aod .vjf., Sore Yo T\ iss s w ShCce Euio iR y i F. s3 fie : peseitt e Arotoes BORN section. ° Now, I ul grass sward at ding and watch the g on the water.‘ is absolutely | corâ€" ents.

Some very badly needed improveâ€" ments have been made at Grimsby Beach during the past two weeks. The old pier has had new sleepers put in between the cribs and the whole length of the, wharf has been replanked. The driveway from the top of the hill down to the pier has been ceâ€" mented and for the first time in years is in a safe condition. Captain Corson brought the Macâ€" assa into the Beach for the first time this season on Saturday morning. Aâ€" bout two hundred passengers were on board.

The following is a short deâ€" scription of the workings of the different systems: Imhoff System The Imhoff tank system â€"was invented and patented by Dr. Imhoff, of Germany; â€" and thoroughly tried out in that country and the United States. It is designed so that after the sewage ‘arrives at the disposal plant it is Screened to remove the unduly large particles of foreign matter that unfortunately find their way into sewers, it is deâ€" livered into a channelâ€"which surâ€" rounds a specially designed conâ€" crete tank into which it then flows. ~ The compartment | into which it flows called the settling basin is Vâ€"shaped, slightly open at the bottom through which the solids drop into the sludge diâ€" gestion chamber. .

Considerable of the fall wheat was winter killed but what reâ€" mains looks good. .Appleés are a good heavy crop and fairly free from the â€"scale, pears are an average crop. Cherries are fair. Plums medium. The growers in this part of the county cover their strawberries, so have .a good crop already ‘set.â€" A number of raspberry «patches have been taken out but the patches reâ€" maining look like a good crop. The reason for removing the patches are that they were effected with fust. In conversation with a farmer from the southern part of Lincoln County, The Independent has learned that the farmers up there are a yery happy lot... The crops are real good and they look forward with pleasure to a large harvest. t l The root harvest looks very promâ€" ising. ugy . & [ss Pasture is exceptionally good and the cows are yielding welkh so that they are running out. _ This is all cheering news &o the householders, for a good crop means full cellars in the fall. Four and Oneâ€"half Per Cent. On All Job Work According to the new taxes inaugâ€" urated by Finance Minister Fielding‘s budget a tax of 44 per cent. must be paid upon all prifting. In May, 1920, a â€"tax of | per ctnt. was put on printing. This was, later increased to 2 per cent., and then to 3 per cent. Then later it was decided that a prinâ€" ter was in the same class as a merâ€" chant tailor who makes a suit to your order just as a printer prints a job to your order, and the tax was taken off. Now it is on again and increased to 4% per cent. . A (manufacturer who sells to a wholesaler adds 24 â€"per cent., but as a printer sells directly to the consumer he must put on the whole 4% per cent. tax. The Govâ€" ernment should derive a big revenue from the increased sales tax, but the war must be paid for.

That some of the Hamilâ€" ton Aldermen are not in favor of alâ€" lowing this company to sell fruit on the market is evidenced by the reâ€" marks they made anent this company at a council meeting held in that city last week.. The "Anvil Chorus" was at work, but their efforts to injury the company went for naught. The following report of the« meeting as clipped from the Spectator, will be of interest to growers in this section: ‘"*Market affairs in general, and the Niagara Peninsula Growers in parâ€" ticular, came under discussion by the property and licence committee at the meeting last evening (Wednesâ€" day), ‘when Ald. Birrell appeared to request additional accommodation on the market for N. Resnick, 19 York street. A report upon the request had been prepared by a subcommittee, and the recommendation was that no additional space should be granted. "I understand that I would have an opportunity of presenting my case before thewcommittee," Ald. Birrell said. In speaking of the space occupied by the Niagara Growers, Ald. Birrell declared that on one occasion, when there was a scarcity of asparagus on the â€"market, 40 \to 50 baskets were to be seen piled in the Growers‘ stands, and were not offered for sale. He believed that this supply had been ‘bought in‘. t ‘ h "The object of a coâ€"operative soâ€" ciety should be to bring produce to the market more cheaply than the individual is able to do," Ald. Lawâ€" rence said.. "If such is not the case, I am opposed to letting any society get control of a large space on the market. Unless the Growers can prove that they are cheapening proâ€" duce, I would not favor giving them so much space next year."

It is quite apparent thatâ€"the older and less ‘ attractive kinds are loosing their popularity and being supplanted by those of a much highest quality. It is interesting to know that these improved varieties can be studied here in Grimsby and any one wishing to associate themâ€" selves with the better kinds of Iris should not fail to see the collection of Mr. E. Muir, Maple avenue, who is specializing on the choicer sorts. Mr. Muir is always ready to impart helpful information, which will be found exceedingly profitable to anyâ€" one contemplating an upâ€"toâ€"date Iris collection. f .:0)-0.0-0-'().()-0.0-0.().().()-( u .;‘ 150 VARIETIES o ipur WEATHER | As an educational organization the Horticultural Society is endeavoring to fulfill its mission, and judging by the results of this meeting it was a remarkable success. _ One of the outâ€" standing features was the gorgeous display of peonies by Mr. E. G. Macâ€" Callum, carefully â€" arranged. The educational value of such a display must be very far reaching, as it has taken many years to build up this colâ€" lection of peonies, which now répreâ€" sents one hundred and fifty varieties and the owner still has the desire to add more. â€"It looks as if the O.

We were unable to learn the name of this variety as Mr. Marlow left to go and find out and at this writing has not returned, no doubt he is still going. The atmosphere got a distinct shock in the introduction of Ornithâ€" galum Pyrenaicum. This particular flower has its own peculiarities and has almost as notorious a record as a very much disturbed skunk. The active interest shown in these meetings is a strong endorsement for their continuance. The musical numbers rendered by Mrs. D. Hunter, Miss McKane acâ€" companied by Mrs. Alex.
