on the staff which is as follows a stoulter 1900 miss mclvinnon 1400 mr boadway 1300 and miss huxtable miss spoffard and miss vansickle 1000 each this makes a total paid in salaries of 7600 the greater portion of which is received by the section in pro vincial and county grants versides with only one exception all the milch cows sold at 100 or over horses were a litttle down implements sold high the binder brought 100 for which mr hoover paid 135 five years ago a seed drill realized 33 and cost 35 eleven years ago that makes pretty cheap farm implements for mr hoover but an even better investment were his sleighs at the sale they brought him 50 and they looked worth the money at todays prices hut mr hoover paid only 35 for them 7 years ago the farm of 100 acres which had been in the hoover fam ily for the past forty years is sold to j smith of almira mr hoover is moving this week to stouffville and will live on albert street next door to his fatherinlaw robert vague elsewhere in this issue will he found the abstract of stouffville plib- lic and continuation school for 1923 in respect to the financial situation it will be noticed that it requires in round figures to maintain all the classes for one year and if there are 265 pupils it costs a fraction over 15 per head to educate them for one year fortunately the corpora tion of stouffville is not called upon to pay all this 45 per head out of her taxes what the ratepayers pay in direct taxes of this 12000 is 570087 and the remainder is made up of grants legislative county and township os will be seen in the statement last year the board started out with a bank ac count of 141417 and finished with only 41538 which indicates they did not make a large enough demand on the council this small balance is used up very early in the new year and necessitates the board borrowing from the bank much ear lier in the new year than should be william smith more familiarly known as bill blew into town last thursday night after his mysterious disappearance a couple of months previous bill had learned that his better half had since left this part and no longer sought to live with him but it came with some thing of a shock when he learned that the old home with its little furnishings had been sold and nothing but his wedding suit remain ed in the vacated property realiz ing that the way of the transgressor is hard william resolved to make the best of matters and being un able to work for ho is infirm and go years of age he applied for quar ters over on yonge street at the king- palace where plenty of warmth and simple food is provided and a real smoking room for the old men yes they are provided with tobacco rations too avhat more could our old townsman wish he didnt always have it before but now hes going to live as old people should cheer up william things come to the poor that cant get in at the door of the rich it isa great thing to be poor said a well known writer but very few have sought to retain it land yet many have learned to prize it nicer looking wood comes in for twelve inchienth 1400 is being asked this length sold at 13 and 16 last winter when coal was a little dearer than it

stouffville be coming a manufacturing town are not very rosy then why not turn our attention to making the old town one of the most beautiful places on the map to live inthis is something we can do let stouffville be known as a beautiful residental tbwn and it will surely attract more people to us with ojiir splendid public utilities everything is most favor able to beautifying our surroundings and a good way to get together on this matter is through the formation of a horticultural society affiliated with the provincial body richmond hill markham aurora and many other plaeeslwe might mention have such organizations and their streets show a wonderful improvement since horticultural societies were organized when a society is organized say for instance in stouffville the mem bership fee would be 100 per year and this entitles each member to a choice of shrubbery or plant which is furnished by the provincial de partment each year other assis tance given is the sending out of speakers and just now many towns are enjoying addresses from promin ent borticulturallsts we notice that henry j moore who came into prominence for putting victoria park niagara falls on the map is delivering splendid lectures in on tario and it would be a good starter to get a man like mr moore out here he talks on town beauti- ficatlon the care of shade trees comes in for the maior part of his address and he delivers something of an invective speech aganst the habit of allowing the bell telephone co the riighway dpt and others to carve up and otherwise maltreat shade trees to suit their purpose of stringing wires and widening and irving roadways etc he miks some practical suggestions as to the election and planting of flowen hat the best effect may b obtained ard that there mav b a
