widemans sale on march 2s 192s four years ago tribune files were produced to show that the mare had been advertised as regis tered but wideman had lost the papers and held that ho was not bound to make the transfer ol registration the judge evidently thought otherwise but gave wide- man until next court to secure necessary transfer he also question ed bennett closely on tho apparent delay in bringing the case which bennett held was due to widemau repeately putting him off with promises and to the fact that for a year or two he did not know wide- mans whereabouts robt fleming tho veteran

conducted by rev e morton the pastortho pall bearers were messrs wm ratcliff david stouffcr morgan baker e r sinclair geo jlgowor and henry brownsberger declaring that he would take the bill back to the hydro and enter a personal protest reeve morden pocketed the document sent from the ontario hydro commission to the council showing the standing of the stouffvilie system for 1931 wo have a net profit of 155350 for the period but the hydro had de ducted 183 for depreciation and this proved to be the sore point it was pointed out that last year stouffvilie rebuilt the local system expending some 2500 cash to bring tho lines right up to date for the hepc to take off 183 for de preciation in the face of this was nothing short of highhandedness the writeoff evidently goes to swell the funds of the commission the reeve held that there should bo no writeoff when the line was actually improved as staled above tho amount labelled as depreciation is simply taken from tho stouffvilie earnings and held by the commis sion for their benefit if this practise is followed all over ontario that body is cleaning up a tidy sum of money in an easy way thus were sentiments expressed at tho may meeting of stouffvilie council hold on monday evening of this week all members were pre sent with reeve imorden presiding the reeve promised to take the matter of depreciation up with the commission in toronto in an effort to save the town the 183 taken from us undor this heading householders lose lights council also viewed some fifteen accounts showing customers in arrears for house lighting

not definitely set owing to the un certainty of the bad road leading into the dumping grounds out in uxbridge township the cleanup will take place during the week of may 10 but the actual date was left for councillor dowswell to advertise and he will be guided by conditions nearer that time councillor rusnell pressed for some action on the matter of dumping ashes on the street but council was noncommittal it was said that the proper time to place ashes on the roads if at all was when they are deep in mud but no action was taken other than leave the question with the road com mittee street oiling to the fore there was a lengthy discussion on the matter of street oiling tiios jones j p was present represent ing tho municipal road spraying oiling co and quoted a price of lie per gallon for road oil in the quantities likely required by stouff vilie if they undertake to do any oiling this price includes delivery of oil and spraying one mile of 12 foot roadway will requlro 17g0 gallons of oil if spray ed thus the cost would be 1s3g0 per mile as stouffvilie has several miles of side streets it was seen that tho cost was prohibitive for oiling all streots but it was agreed to pur chase 1000 gallons for use on the 9th and 10th concessions these two main roads requlro hundreds of dollars for gravel every other year and it is expected that a similar amount spent in oil for a fow years will preserve these places and give much wider satisfaction councillor dowswell said he was willing to have any residential streots oiled if tho residonts would petition for it agreeing to pay
