The decrease is made all the more apparent when it is con- sidered that there was 39 more bir- ths last year than in 1920,-as al- ready pointed out, Of the 69 infants who died under one year in 1921, 17 suffered from intestinal trouble, 15 from other causes, while 37 were pre- mature and stillborn. . Recently the nurses in the public health depart- ment have in addition to their clinic work turned their attention to pre- natal werk, and a decrease in. the number of premature and still births should result in future. The following statistics showing deaths under ome year since 1916 with comparative population and number of births, shows how during Crossing, met with a very unfortun- ate accident Tuesday afternoon. With a number of other men Taylor was assisting in chopping feed at Mr, Herbert Moon's, the chopping being done by a three horse power gasoline mgine.

W. G. McKay, in his annual report presented to the Board of Health a few weeks ago, pointed out that there was an® im- provement in the general health of the town, might account in some de- gree to the decrease in the number of deaths. The decrease in 'infants' deaths, however, accounts to a fair extent for the general decrease, Old High Cost of Living, although descending a little from his high perch of the past few years, may have been responsible for the decrease in the number of marriages, while the general industrial depression, throw- ing many men out of - employment, may have been the biggest factor.

Mr. Scott stated that the amount of gnan- ure alone that'he had put inte the land had doubled its value. The in- crease in the town's population, he sald had also made his land more valuable. Mr. Scott stated that le some land owners choose toNgub- divide for building purposes, he*did not, preferring to keep it as farming land. . ' Mr. Creighton asked Mr.~Scott if his land had any prospective value as building land, and if it would not be wise to encourage building in his section -of the town. Mr, Scott re- plied that while it could be utilized for building purposes, it was worth more for the purpose he was now us- ing it. > No Faith in Booms 'Mr. Scott told the Board further that he did not think it necessary to open up his land for building pur- poses. He had little faith in booms, as he had seen so many of them. Dust Hurts Crops ! One' item in Mr. Scott's bill of $15, 000 was $200 for damage to his crops through dust. Mr. Scott told Mr. Creighton that he figured he was entitled to this amount, which, cap- italized, amounted to a large sum. Another small item was $200 for fencing and gates, Mr. Scott claiming that on the west side of his property the contractors putting in the sewer tore down his fence beyond the 66- fdot strip. Mr. Scott admitted that the fence posts of iron were more expensive, but claimed that these were put in because there was no time to get the others. The whole of Wednesday was practically taken up in examining the Scott brothers and hearing their expert witnesses. Profits in Market Gardening Mr. Alex. Scott gave a lengthy testimony on the profits méle as market gardeners. They realiffd he paid, a gross profit of $1,400 pg acre on tomatoes. . Mr, Creighton asked Mr. Sook why it was that if growing tomato# was so profitable, he had not in th last] few years grown more of them. * Mr. Scott replied that war *ondi-| | tions, disturbing the labor arket, and the general disturbed copdition of the farm owing to the streef*xten- sion, made the growing of topatoes not so desirable, ! 7 Wednesday afternoon Mr} John Scott, while under cross-exam@ation, caused considerable when, in going into detaile operations, said he considered «a hen for the manure it supplied wth 50 cents a year on the farm, " Continues To-day To-day the arbitration is for the Corporation of Oshaw take the stand.
