The outstanding tax arrears are ¢oming in slewly, but it is indeed slow work, commented City Treas- urer T. A. Blackburn to a represen tative of The Times yesterday.

There was, at that date, still $67,900 from the 1929 roll still un- paid, and the balance was made of 1928, 1927 and 1926 taxes. .. The serious part of the tax ar- rears situation is that, whether cit. izens pay their tax bills or not, the expenses of operating the city go on just the same, People demand police and fire .protection, health | services, schools of the most up-to- date-type, and all the other services. these conveniences, the city is fore ed to go to the-bank and horrow money to carry on the business. This is an expensive procedure, and entails interest bills that must be met out of the ensuing year's tax roll. This increases the tax bill of both the people that have already paid their accounts, as well as those that still owe for the previous year, And thus the situation continues, in an endless circle that grows stea- dily worse, unless the delinquents step into the breach and meet their obligations, DEMOLISH OLD STATION Interesting to Oshawans will be the news that the old union station at Toronto is to be demolished. Built in 1872, the station was for many years regarded as one of the finest buildings in the provincial capital. Thousands here will remember its corridors and its waiting room and the old train concourse with its arch- ed roof of glass, the panes of which had been darkened by the smoke from hundreds of trains.

The board was recently presented to Detective Sergeant H. Flintoff by A. Saunders, the maker, and De- tective Sergeant Flintoff in turn pre- sented to to the police department. I'he board shows no sign of having been used for over a half century and is an example of skilled craftmanship. Mr. Saunders, who resides now at 112 William Street east, has been em- ployed as a woodworker for the Wil- liams Piano Co. ror over 40 years. At the time he made the board he was living on a farm near here and his only tools were a jacknife and a hammer. The board itself is built of burley maple, a wood of lovely grain which is rarely seen now. The pattern of the board is made of walnut and hol- ly inlaid in alternate squares. The walnut is, of course, dark, while the holly has an ivory-like appearance. The holly was secured from the Wil- liams Piano Co. which had imported a quantity from England tor use in nianufacturing fine organs.
