The council had been addressed by representatives of several tractor and truck companies and the mat- ter was brought to a head when Councillor Ormiston asked what was to be done about it, remarking that it would be shameful for the municipality to secure further dem- onstrations of tractors unless it was ""$eally going to buy, Immediately a motion was put forward by Councillors Bowman .and Broughton recommending that the council should not purchase "This year. or Reeve Jackson demanded an ex- planation, Councillor Broughton re- , plying that to his mind a tractor was more or less of a luxury, He considered that it would be more economical to rent a machine for the number of days it might be re- quired for local road work. He hinted that repairs might be cost- ly. Councillor Threadgold, chairman of streets, was opposed to renting as he thought the tractor could be used to advantage in many differ- ent ways and estimated that for roads alone it would be required from 25 to 50 days. Speaking to the motion, Council- lor Bownran compared the town of Whitby to a farmer who bought everything he needed. He claimed that men of this class often failed, Mr. Bowman was sure that for or- dinary purposes the town coud rent a machine for $10 a day. There was need for economy, he thought, "Can we afford to buy a trac- 'Itor?"" asked His Worship "or on the other hand, can we afford te let our roads go to pieces?" The hardest blow against tne Broughton-Bowman motion was struck by Reeve Jackson, who, on taking the floor, announced that he knew little about machinery bur had been blessed with some "com. mon horse sense." He showed that, according to the chairman of streets, it would cost $500 a year for rental, He asked what the town would have to show for that outlay. By purchasing, the outlay of $500 a year would retire the de- bentures in five years and Whitby would have a machine which, with proper usage, would be useful for several more years. * Turning to Councillor Broughton the reeve asked if it were not true that he had bought a tractor on his farm and had found it profit- able, The reply being in the af- firmative, Mr. Broughton was again asked if in the light of his own experience it would not he profit. able for the town to buy a traec- tor, Councillor Bowman then joined in the debate with the query, "Is it not possible that the Good Lord has blessed others with horse sense besides the reeve of the municipal. ity?" Reeve Jackson answered that he had made no suggestion that other members of the council were lack- ing in this quality, Mp, Bowman had mentioned that a tractor could be hired for $10 per day for light work. Mr. Jackson's contention was that such a machine would not be at all suitable and he remarked that Oshawa had purchased a trac- tor even larger than the type com- templated for local use. Deputy Reeve Underwood was of the same opinion, and Councillor Pringle voiced the thought that the step was necessary and could not ve avoided, even though the council did not desire to spend money, Mayor Bateman saw a great obsta- cle in renjing, as the municipality might not be able to secure a trac tor when it would be needed most. Councillor Threadgold seconded an amendment made by Reeve Jackson to the effect that the coum- cil purchase a tractor this year. The amendment was carried, Reeve Jackson, Deputy Reeve Underwood, Councillors Mowat, Pringle 'and Threadgold voting yea, while Coun- cillors Bowman, .Ormiston and Broughton voted nay. The original motion was consequently lost.

Municipali- ties as It is -- Discuss the Question at Yesterday's Session (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, June 7. -- No change will be made in the equalization of the assessment rolls of the minor municipalities within On- tario county according to a re- port from the special committee on equalization of assessment re- ceived by the "county council at ils session yesterday afternoon. The schedule upon which the county leyy will be made in 1929 will remain the same as the schedule used in making the levy this year. A hylaw to this effect was passed with almost unani mous support.only three council- lors including W. ¥. Thompson, reeve of Reach, George Till, dep- uty reeve of Reach, and R. Ross, reeve of Thorah, voting against it. This schedule places the to- tal assessment of the county for purposes of 1929 at $25,796,239, Pickering fownship having the largest assessment with $4.462, 433.50, while Whithy of course leads the urban communities with assessment of $2,085,326.00. The percentage of this total for the various municipalities is as fol- lows: Pickering, 17.30 percent; E. Whitby, 8.72 percent; Whithy township, 8.08 percent; Reach, 10.08 percent; Scugog, 1.42 per- cent; Uxbridge township, 4.83 percent; Scott, 6.18 percent; Thorah, 5.73 percent; Brock, 11. 69 percent; Mara, 7.37 percent; Rama, 1.35 percent; Whitby town, 8.08 percent Uxbridge, 2.74 per- cent; Port Perry, 2.74 percent; Cannington, 1.73 percent; and Beaverton, 2,06 percent. In case of any municipality making appeal on this rating, the county con- sents to have the county judge de- termine the final equalization. The greater part of both morn- ing and afternoon sessions yester- day were occupied in committee work and as a result much is like ly to be accomplished today. R. Sommerville, reeve of Port Perry,, roused considerable discussion when he mentioned an incident which recently occurred in his township where a farmer had cut down several fine pine trees on the roadside in front of his 'prop- County Council Take Regarding Equalized Assessment Will Leave Present System' wa Road Commission, made appli- cation on behalf of the commis- sion for *an increase in the amount of debentures to be issued by the county to care for (ts share in road work instituted by the com- mission north of Oshawa. Mr. Pascoe pointed out the commis- siop had laid out 1.95 miles of paving and that! the cost of its work had exceeded the estimate by over $4,000. +The commission is therefore asking that dehen- tures of $20,000 be issued by the couty instead o $18,000 as previ- ously anticipated. The matter was referred to the county roads coma mittee.

'MEMBER WHITBY BOARD IS GRANTED ADDITIONAL $8,300 $7,600 Will Be Used for Erecting Building for Agriculture (By, Staff Reporter) Whitby, June 7.--By practical- ly a unanimous vote the town council has endorsed a request from the Board af Education ask- ing for an additional grant of $8,- 500, of which sum $7,600 will be used for the comstructtion of a cement block building to house the agricultura] and farm mech- anics department of the Whithy high school while the balance of $900 is owing to the board from debentures issued to care for the new high school wing, whereas the board did not receive the full debentures as this sum, represent- ing interest and other charges connected with the issue, was de- ducted. Deputy Reeve Under- wood alone opposed the granting of the request as he accused the educational body of extravagance. In supporting his motion to en- dorse the proposal Reeve Jackson expressed the belief that the board had given thorough consid- eration of the matter and would not petition the council unless it was sure that the building was re- quired. Incidentally as a result of a meeting between the board and the finance committee of the council the former body had de- cided to erect a cement block fireproof building instead of a less costly frame edifice and re- ferring to this the reeve mention- ed that he would not vote one cent towards construction of a frame building on account of the fire hazard, The motion was seconded by Coun. Bowman, who remarked that an annual govern- ment grant of $1,700 would be lost unless proper quarters were provided for the agricultural de- partment and he asked who would not invest $7,600 for a yearly re- turn of $1,700. Coun, Ormiston also favored course in agriculture and farm mechanics, more county pu- pils would be attracted to the school. "A county pupil in the high school is found momey for Whitby," he claimed. Active opposiaion was voiced by Deputy Reeve Underwood, who, although stating that he had favored a fireproof building to one of frame comstruction, thought that the board of educa- tion was 'stepping over the traces." Even if they should get boys from the county to take the course, he asked what good it would do them. What good did it do to nine out .of ten who went to agricultural college? At this point the deputy reeve was interrupted by Coume. Broughton who claimed that he had attend- ed agriculture college and found it profitable. "You may be the tenth man then," was the good- natured reply. Mr, Broughton joined in the general laugh which followed but had the parting shot when he added that Mr. Up- derwood would possibly see the matter in a different light if he had attended agricultur. ' himself.

In all probability the trees q had taken fifty years to grow to | their size before cutting and the Port Perry reeve wanted to know whether any action would be tak- en. The county was spending money on reforestation and he considered it inconsistent if fine shade trees should be stripped from county roads. Warden G. M. Forsyth commented that the matter had been brought to the attention of the county roads committee which was roused to indignation and had ordered the county engineer to take action. Mr. Sommerville thought that the county engineer should have real ized what had happened before it was brought to his attention by the county roads committee. The general opinion, Lkowever, was | that the road foreman of the dis- trict should have reported the | tree cutting to the engineer and henceforth the council will have road foreman to report to their superintendent any incident of this nature. Crown Attorney J. A. MeGib- bon addressed the council re- questing that an office on the second floor of the court house formerly set aside for the late Col. Farewell be fitted up as a private office for himself. Mr. MecGibbon explained that such am office was a necessity and the re- quest was referred to the property committee. .
