Bowman, at the Town Council on Monday evening, announced that he would at the next meeting three weeks hence in- troduce the question of the issue of tax prepayment certificates, a sys- tem which on one hand makes it easier for Taigjayes to pay their taxes, and on the other hand saves money for the town and those who pay. His Worship stated that he had been ir touch with the treas- ury department at Toronto and ob- tained some particulars regarding the certificates, but he was not in TAMBLYN Saves You Money inaugural address in January sug- a position now to acquaint the Council with full particulars of the scheme which he said was working well in Toronto and other places. The mayor suggested that the Council send the treasurer and tax collector to Toronto to get full par- ticulars so as to have them for the next Council meeting. It will be recalled that the mayor in his the issue of certificates as a means of helping the taxpayer. Town Clerk and Treasurer John R. Frost pointed out to Council that under the certificate plan the Council would pass on to the rate- payers the amount usually paid in- to the bank for interest. For in- stance, a man might purchase a ten dollar certificate from the town and get same for $9.75, and so on with certificates of various denom- inations. In addition to returning the bank interest money to the taxpayers, the issue of the certi- ficates would keep the town's credit er at the bank, as the town wduld not have to borrow so much. Mr. Frost pointed out the certi- ficates were only good for the first instalment of taxes. The town was now allowing a discount of two per cent on this instalment when it The Council decided to send the To Horne to get Coli poreciors o To! ge 'particulars of the Segtificate system from the treasury. department there.

Good Trees Dying That the town was in danger of losing hundreds of valuable trees now lining the town streets, un- less something was done to. save the opinion expressed by Town En- ineer H. L. Pringle to the Council. e engineer pointed out that many fine maples and other trees were rotting because of huge holes in them and dying.limbs, and he thought that some action should be taken to save them. Mayor Bowman thought that the expense incurred in this work would be very heavy. Personally, he thought that the better plan to maintain trees on the streets was re-planting. Deputy-reeve Fred Rowe pointed out that the town was well blessed with trees to-day because of the foresight of our forefathers, who had visions of the future. He felt that the Council of to-day should look to the future and not only re- place trees cut down, but adopt a policy of planting new ones. 130 Children Attend Clinic Last Saturday A total of 130 school chil- dren presented themselves for inoculation against typhoid fever and diphtheria when the toxoid clinic, sponsored by the Board of Health, and operated by the Ontario Hospital, open- ed at the Women's Infirmary at the Hospital Saturday ers and that both they and the| ° them from total destruction, was | : Clothing Depot The clothing ' depot of th e clothing of the Chribtmas.

AMONG THE NEW BOOKS "Something to Think About" is the arresting title of a little book- let which came to the editor's desk this week. The author is Robert Johnston, a former Dewshaterizn and an employee of the Mundy- Goodfellow Company, Whitby, who has adopted the non de plume of Elbert Robert. Evidence that the writer is a deep thinker is much in evidence in such articles as "The Greatest Thing," which the writer claimg to be the unseen-- the substance and reality of all things visible and invisible. The unseen, he says, is the greatest thing in the world, and in his ar- ticle he very forcibly proves it. -An- other article along educational lines is that entitled "The Oceans are Salty--Why?" and Mr. John- ston tells why, in a most interest- ing manner. Other articles in the booklet are of equal interest, and the booklet should have a ready sale, It is the author's intention to make it a regular publication, and in his literary effort the Gazette and Chronicle wishes him every success.

In order to adopt the new tax payment system, it was pointed out by the treasurer that certain difficulties would have to be over- come. The certificates would have to be sold in the town offices, and someone placed in charge of the records. He did not know if the bank would treat the certificates as cash. Some arrangements with the bank would have to be made if the system was adopted. -- 4 $250022 IN CASH Given for arranging these 7 uses for Fry's Cocoa in the order - of their popularity -- PRIZES HERE ARE THE PRIZES: . +s $500.00 . « $350.00 3rd ...... $300.00 4th . + $250.00 200 Prizes, $2.00 each 5¢ . » » 2nd "= 8 BB Cake Icing [ 4 2 o uses Children's Drink Cakes and Puddings 5th. ..... $200.00 6th ...... $150.00 7th . . . . . . $100.00 50 Prizes . . . . $5.00 each TOTAL $2,500.00 Here are seven different and well-recognized uses for Fry's Cocoa, arranged in alphabetical order: Chocolate Fudge Chocolate Sauce Hot Cocoa Drink Iced Cocoa Drink ISREGARDING the above order entirely, write down these seven uses in what you think is the order of their popularity in the average home.
