COUNTY WONT "HELP PAY m "WAR MEMORIAL Most Municipalities Have Built Their Own and Would \ i Pay Twice, Council Saye Peterboro, June June 23. --"To late," fs Peterboro County Council's rea- son for refusing to contribute any sum to the City of Peterboro's war memorial fund, Wednesday after- noon they declined to reconsider their negative decision of last February, The represgatatives of only North Monaghan @nd Smith Townships indicated a desire to accede to the appeal of the depu- tation, composed of Judge Huvcke, G. H. Thompson and George A. Macdonald who made a final re- quest for a grant from the county. "We settled this question in February--why bring it up again?" 'remarked Reeve Curtis of Have- lock after the eity visitors had gone. "There's no occasion for chang- ing our decision," said Reave Tan- ner, of Lakefield.

A Case Rye apd iddleton probably knew the exact vole without pol- ing it. Both of them made a last stand, but most of the other mem. bers had previously declared their position, and as Curtis said "Why bring that up?" These objecting municipalities bought lots and erected their own memorials. To pay part of Peterboro"s memorial La AY mean that rural and village ratepayers would be taxed twice. The city's oversight or neglect was in failing to solicit a grant from the county seven or eight years ago, when it was decided to pre- pare for a city monument. One member said: "The city people may have been prompt enough in their action preliminary to ordering a suitable memorial, but they didn't consult us then, so we went ahead with our own." The vote of the council was call. ed on Reeve Curtis' amendment, seconded by Reeve Hawthorne of Dummer, that the "February mo- tion stand as it is." The motion by Messrs. Rye and Middleton pro- posed that the February resolu- tion be rescinded, and that the matter of a grant to the city's war memorial fund be referred to the Finance Committee. All three members of the depu- tation spoke briefly, Judge EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, LOCAL 18011 WHE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1928 Huycke reminded the council that a deed of trust would be givens to the Warden and the Mayor of the city as joint trustees of the mem- orial for all time to be preserved for the boys of the city and county who gave their lives for both the city and county. Judge Huvcke explained that there had not been any delay by the committee. "Since 1920. the Memorial Committee has been ac- tively engaged in seeing this work through. We are not asking for a large amount." "We do hope that the county will contribute something," said Mr. Macdonald, with a smile that seemed irresistible. "We are get- ting to the point where we can see the memorial erected. It will only be a matter of sixty days." He mentioned the need of funds, but a few minutes later the Reeve of Havelock was asking: "Why open that up again?" . OI YEARS OLD HE ENJOYS LIFE Stephen Brownell, Belle- ville, Finds Hard Work Has Not Injured Him Belleville, June 22.--Mr. Stephen Brownell, 58 Burton Street, caught up with the ninety-first milestone of his life, June 20th. He is receiving the congratulations of his host of friends and acquaintances. Mr. Brownell is residing with his daughter, Mrs. Oscar Reddick, 58 Burton Street. His other daughter, Mrs. Phillips, also lives on Burton many, it just isn't a circus without be taken to be many years younger than he actually is. Throughout his life he has worked hard and to that strain of working hard he attributes his longevity. Very little sickness has he known in all his days. He works from one year to another building additional and convenient things around the house, laying down cement floors and a little carpentry now and then. He is as strong as many another man twenty years younger and would put to shame the handicraft of a younger man. He is still keen of perception and his logic is peculiarly lucid. But the advance of years has left him with a slight deafness and his eye- sight is not so good as it was some years back. He is ninety-one and looks as if the winters and summers of another ten years will see him once again in the cycle of the vears. Ninety-one--and Bellevillians con- gratulate him on attaining such a great age. Mrs Oscar Reddick has been con fined to her home through illness for several days. -- » Anyway, Mussolini believes In the liberty of the suppress.--Dallas News, CANADIANS HAVE MANY TELEPHONES One Instrument Installed For Each 13 Inhabitants of Dominion Use of the telephone in Canada, according to W. C. Beamer, local manager for the Bell Company, compares favorably with any other telephone company in the world. The most recent statistics show that on December 31, 1927, Bri- tish Columbia led the provinces of Canada with a telephone in- stallation of 18.71 instruments per hundred of population. Ontario came next with 17.48 telephones for evary hundred pop- ulation, Then in order were the Prairie Provinces, Saskatchewan with 12.56, Alberta with 11.83, and Manitoba with 11.37, Quebec with a development of 9.99 stood sixth, with Nova Scotia at 7.65 seventh and New Brunswick at 7.59 eighth. The Yukon territory showed a de- velopment of 5.76 instruments per hundred population in ninth place und Prince Edward a close tenth with a development of 5.70. The Dominion as a whole with 1,256,869 telephones serving a population of 9,697,000 is on the enviable basis of 13.19 instruments per hundred population, comparing most favorably with any other in the world and with her own posi- tion of December 1926. At that date the figures stood at 12.73 per hundred persons. From 1911 to the end of 1827 Canada has added to the figure for the earlier year, which was 354,- 008 telephones, over two and a half times that number to reach the 1927 figure of 1,265,869, The telephone increase in that seven- teen years period was over 257 per cent, a most remarkahle de- velopment. It indicates the ex- tent of the great advance in com- merce and other phases of na- tional development which have heen accompanied by thig strik- ing advance in the field of rapid communication facilities, ."A COOL STTDY Copenhagen, June 22.--Profes- sor W.
