_ $ Direct Private Wire Connections MINING and INDUSTRIAL STOCKS _ Last week there were several comâ€" plaints made because it appeared that chauffeur‘s licenses were to cost $2.00 instead of $1.00. Those who paid the $2.00 did so under protest, as it were. It was not so much the extra dollar as the principle of the thing that was complaine@ fabout. However, it turns out that the $2.00 fee was charged beâ€" cause of insufficient information to the local issuer of the licenses. As soon as there was complaint about the $2.00 charge, a wire was sent to Toronto by Chauffeur Licenses â€" Cost Only a Dollar Lack of Full Information Caused Charge of $2.00 â€" Last Week.

Accordingly the local issuer of licenses, A. W. Lang, arranged to reâ€" fund the extra dollar to the few who had bought their 19935 chauffeur‘s liâ€" censes under the $2.00 rate. Henceâ€" forth the licenses will be $1.00 as hereâ€" tofore. In noting the extra charge that appeared to be asked The Advance suggested that the Hepburn goverthiâ€" ment was not playing fair in adding the dollar to the last year fee. It deâ€" velops that the Hepburn government did not do this and so deserve no blame in the matter. Indeed, there is no blame attached to anyone, except that the instructions in the matter were not clear and it appeared that $2.00 was the fee. However, all will be pleased to know that the $1.00 fee has not been increased and that the 1935| permits cost no more than last year, _ Try The Advance Want Advertisements SET TLEMENT ........ 19c, 2 to a customer ........... 8 cakes for 25¢ Timmins ...... 29c and 69¢ For Friday and Saturday w2 2 for 39¢ "You run in noble company," .avertrâ€" ed the magistrate and the ‘case stood over.
