last thurs day made drastic cuts in the salaries of its officials and at the same time effected a reduction in the per diem indemnities and mileage allowance to its members all of which come intj effect next year this was decided after a hectic debate and when reeve w g gohn of markham presented the re port of the committee making the recommendations reeve george b elliott of north york attacked the move which he said should not have been kept until the dying hours of the session a motion sponsored by reeve w e mc donald of new toronto which sought to have the matter shelved until next january however was lost on a division difficult to keep order when discussion on the proposal was then resumed reeve a j b gray who presided over the com mittee of the whole found much difficulty in keeping order at times four and five members essayed to speak at once while at intervals the chairman had to order members back to their seats despite the con fusion the discussion was carried on in a goodnatured spirit reeve r 01 leslie of east york suggested that there was something more than appeared behind the proposal and hinted that two or three mem bers were interested in loading themselves with the positions held by the clerk and treasurer de puty reeve meighan of east york warned his colleagues against what ho described as effecting economies at the cost of compromising effieney most unpleasant duty reeve gohn who introduced the resolution said that this was the most unpleasant duty which had fallen to his lot since he entered the council but declared that the step proposed would mean a sav ing of 9000 in one year to the tax payers of the county while icoioiipi r j stuart of york favored a 10 per cent reduction all round reeve h kidd of whitchurch was of the opinion that if- the matter was left for the 1933 council greater cuts than those proposed by the committee would be effected deputy reeve dr h im cook of forest hill in taking a gloomy view of the immediate future opinioned that conditions would become still worse before any im provement came we havo not touched bottom yet he declared the committees report as finally approved provides for the reduction of councillors indemnities from s to 7 a day while the customary mileage allowance vas reduced from 10 cents a mile one way to s cents the ages of all county police officers was reduced rrom 35 to 30 per week with mileage allowance set at 10 cents a mile one way tho most drastic reduction effect ed was that in the salary of treasurer d j macdonald which was cut from 4000 to 2600 and that of clerk r w phillips reduc ed from 4100 to 3000 other cuts made were police court clerk from 2400 to 2200 pro bation officer from 1s00 to 1- 700 icaretakor from 2040 to 1500 ami superintendents at house of refuge from 1900 to 1700 corresponding cuts were made in tho weekly wages of the assisting staff not excepting that of the switchboard operator who suffered a reduction from 17 to 16 in tho caso of the county engineer and the superintendent of tho childrens aid society it was recommended that inasmuch as theso two officials salaries were not wholly paid by tho county a reduction of 3 0 per cent be effected while admitting that it was only locently that tho salaries of many county officials wero brought to a fair basis tho committco pointed out that gowrnmcat and munici pal officials unlike those engagec in industry did not suffer from layoffs a bylaw will bo prepared for tho january session giving offect to tho new scale of salarioa recommended by tho committee a motion introduced by deputy reeve tyrrell of scarboro con gratulating mayor w j stewart on his refusal to accord count von luckncr a civic reception was with drawn after many members had oxpressed tho opinion that this as a city matter which did not concern at the markham high school got good start in homo school the very high standing gained by students from tho stouffville con tinuation school in finishing their dual academic course at markham high school is worthy of special note two cut of the three upper school prizes awarded at the com mencement exercises in markham on friday evening came to stouff ville students hugh thomas and blanche atkinson in addition students of the local school made a wonderful record during the year two pupils in the school made the signal records of passing ten papers in one year and one of these was a student from stouffville hugh thomas three pupils in the entire school were able to clean up on eight papers and strange to say all three are stouff ville continuation scholars 5 pupils passed on seven papers and three of these came from sttouffville while three out of the eight who passed on six papers also came from our school the signal success of our con tinuation pupils surely implies that they got a wonderful grounding in tho local school that enabled them to make such splendid success at markham not only is this gratify ing to pupils and parents but to the local staff and board of educa tion stopped at the border unpleasantness caused cana dian exhibitors at the bord er forgotten by ringwood farmer who won many prizes- tax returns goodlteam entered in as last year held for more than two hours at port huron mr james brodie of ringwood was one of the ten canadians enroute home from the chicago live stock exposition des cribed as wrathy over the treatment meted out to them by american customs officers who needlessly de layed the exhibitors as they attempted to cross- the border en- route home it is charged that ehroute to the fair some exhibitors were dis courteously treated by theso officials causing a protest to be sent to ottawa caught on the way home the canadians were closely questioned by the yanke officials and a hot wordy battle ensued herbert leo a husky young high- gate farmer threatened to trim the american officer but was quiet ed before any roughness commenc ed his friends will be glad to note that mr brodie returned home quite unscathed and with his usual basketful of prizes on south down sheep that will make him forget any unpleasantness caused him when stopped at the border extravagance charged by east york liberals as need for election a glance over the history of this liberal party is big enough and country is enough to prove that i broad enough to attract to its liberalism has something to offer to the people of ontario and of canada- as years of liberal rule have invariably been years of pros perity and progress said dr l j simpson mla centre simcoe speaking at the annual meeting of the east york reform association held at agincourt last friday night in 1923 the ferguson govern ment was elected on the cry of economy said the speaker they banners all those who seek a re turn of safe sane and economic government in the best interests of all the people we have in mitchell f hepburn as the j leader of the liberal party in ontario who can give us aggressive leadership he is himself a farmer and under stands to the full problems and anxieties which are perplexing those engaged in agriculture today i would suggest to the henry went up and down the length and government that it is time to hold breadth of this province telling of a general election said dr simpson the terrible extravagance of the they tell us the cost will be about drury government but we have a half million dollars but even if it since learned to our sorrow that tho would i submit that the great drury government were mere babies majority of the people of this pro- in the matter of spending money as vince would consider it a mighty compared to the conservative ad- fine investment right now and ministrations which have followed when that general election comes the total debt of tho province has and the people have the chance to increased from 23900000000 at pass judgment on the extrava- the time of the drury government gance of the past years there will to 51s00000000 in 1931 and the i not be much left of the tory running expenses of the government machine in queens park the tory have increased from 2900000000 1 party has been in power too long to 6000000000 in 1931 these and i will go so far as to say no are indeed startlinj figures he said party should be left in power too tho county council and despite tho increase in debt the taxation in this province has continued to increase uutil to day it is a very heavy burden on our people it has almost reached the breaking point and our farmers and people in all walks of life are ask ing the question how much longer can we stand it the expenses in the department of education alone have increased from five and a half million in 1921 to thirteen million in 1931 in his homo town of barrie dr simpson said tho high school was visited by five inspectors in a year whereas ono used to do the job it is not a case of a need for that many inspectors said tho speaker it is simply a caso of the department of education being us ed to provide jobs for party heelers and hangerson even tho ministers of tho govern ment admit the extravagance said dr simpson ho quoted tho hon william flnlayson minister of lands and forests who when speak ing in centre simcoe had stated that the department of education had become a sort of hobby for prime ministers and was wildly extravagant hon t l kennedy the minister of agriculture has stated that tho farmers of ontario aro the highest taxed farmers in the world when the next general election comes round the great issue before the people will be the wild extravagance of the conserva tive administration it is not surprising that under such conditions new movements spring up such as tho common- wealthy party recently launched i am not surprised such things happen becauso peoplo aro being driven to desperation by tho fiscal policies of tho bennet government and the extravagance of the conservative government in queens park under a mackenzie king administration at ottawa no such movoment would havo been started because there would have been no cause for dis content and although i am not rson dp long try as ho may to restore economic administration mr henry as premier is in the grip of the tory machine the pressure from behind is too great he is at the mercy of the patronage sobkars the party- heelers and has cluttering up every government dr simpson tion of tho ontario hard a said in my own ri that some farmer his farm onto tho the work of a lifetime h the hydro policy of lb on monday evening tho muni cipal council passed

to poll clerks namely 3 each tho treasurer reported on tho outstanding taxes which are about on the level of 1931 or 1300 out of a total collection of 1s000 reeve morden said the council should look into the agreement with the ontario hydro commission under which stouffville supplies power to users from the east sub urb to altona ho is of the opinion that tho demartd has doubled since the agreement started and that the town therefore may not be getting enough to pay for the power sold the reeve was advised to take the matter up directly with the com mission on behalf of the cemetery board mr john ratcliff requested council to procure them some receipt books request was granted a bill for 9 plumbing repairs at a b stecklys house obrien ave was rejected the tank in mr steckleys bath room sprung a leak after the town water was turned off and then on the jolt from the returning pressure was held to be too much for the tank fear of establishing a precendent and the contention that the system is only 56 lbs pressure which any tank should withstand were reasons for rejecting the account motions were passed transferr ing 1000 from the water works to the general account as interest payment od capital and paying 600 from the general account to the water works for hydrant rental a loan of 1000 made by the water works to the town account was also repaid by resolution tho
