from the village ot tweed oat every vote on the list was polled this is a record worth noting at the session of the ontario county council which concluded last saturday a bylaw was passed rati fying the separation agreement be tween the county and the city of oshawa in accordance with the ar bitrators award handed iu some time ago the council decided to levy a twomill rate for the county co be expended on roads bridges and maintenance of the present roads which will yield revenue of 46000 and with a like amount which the government will pay the sum of 92000 will be spent on road construction this year there has been an agitation going on in different sections of the coun try with a viev to having the gov ernment reimburse depositors who lost money in the home bank be fore the government could very well take any action along this line one would think that depositors who lost in the farmers bank and other fin ancial concerns both private and chartered would have to be reckoned with more important than making recompense is that the wreckers of these banks and savings institutions be given long terms of imprisonment as a salutary lesson for the sorrow and ruin that they have wrought in so many homes m m a writer in the country weekly says for a real heartbreaking nuisance there is nothing to outdo he new nicme fivecent piece why this infernal horror has been inflicted upon an innocent public has not been revealed as a pro moter of profanity and other non- christian virtues it has no equal you innocently pass it for a quar ter and the recipient brands you for a dead beat you receive it as a quarter and you are filled with disgust at the smallness of the in dividual who palmed it on you the collection plates are filled with the obnoxious coin which the faithful pass to the lords treasury as quar ters the thing has no virtues and no friends the resolution adopted by the county council of welland at its last session that the legislature be memorialized to pass some legisla tion whereby sheep raisers of the province will be protected in some way from the ravages of dogs is a wise move in this country every township pays lalrge sum every year for sheep destroyed by dogs while the owners of a flock of sheep gets paid the actual value of the 3heep destroyed by dogs yet it does not reimburse him for the loss he sustains as his entire flock is affected and never does as well once they are molested by dogs what is needed is legislation that will safeguard the sheep raisers from this waste the owners of dog3 must be made responsible in some more stringent way the cost ot education has greatly increased during the last tew years and the question might well be ask ed if we are getting value for the money expended the expenditure of our schools in ontario vow reached the sum of 48000000 a year and the fprovimcdal expendii ture on other educational objects exceeds 5500000 so that on tarios total expenditure upon education reaches 53500000 yearly this expenditure is on be half of 680000 children of differ ent ages and we have 17000 teachers engaged in the task on the average we are spending about 80 per year tor the educaton of each child of school age and if wo estimate the school age to run from six to sixteen years it will mean that the province is investing about 800 in the education ot each of its citizens it is surely a good business proposition to insist that the money be spent in that way which shall secure for each child the education he or she most needs to fit them for lifes tasks the stouffvifilik markets
