teachers has compiled an interesting list of salaries paid lu the rural schools including a few consolidated schools but not the york couuty graded schools out of 2382 known salaries dealt with in this list liss cr almost exactly 50 per cent are under 825 the ravorite salary 6eems to be 800 there being 565 teachers or nearly 25 per cut of the whole engaged at that figure there are 31 who receive less than 600 out of the 23s2 salaries 2s6 or 12 fer cent are iu excess of 1000 only 91 or less than 4 per cent re ceive 1200 or more while the list published in the educational courier does not pretend to be a completo one t shows the present trend toward low pay for one of the most useful classes in the community many municipalities seem to think that the first and largest municipal economy achieved should be in the matter of teachers pay although there is no oilier ser vice more important to the future wellbeing of the race the stouffville school boardwhile reducing the public school salaries in 1932 were very fair in the matter paying the female teachers 900 this year which according to the teach ers union or federation is a little above the average for the province trouble with most of us is we have debts we cant afford to carry but unfortunately we cant drop egg formula is fink if the hens know it phone 184 stouffville ontario how many eggs should a flock of 100 hens lay in a day to pay for their feed it sounds like one or those little problems the teacher hands out in school but its really little more important to the farmer than that f c elford dominion poultry husbandman tells of a fairly relia ble formula take the cost of feed per hundredweight divide it by the cost of eggs per dozen and multiply this quotient by three the answer is the number of eggs requireddaily to pay for the chicken feed here is mr elfords example feed costs 120 per hundredweight eggs sell for 20 cents a ctozen applying the formula the quotient is six this multiplied by three gives is the number of eggs the flock will have to produce day after day for feed at that cost i county and city survey urged metropolitan area committee find costs unfairly divided system worn out request that the province make a survey into the relationship of the couuty ofyork with the city of tor onto in the belief that the forma tion of a metropolitan area would prevent the excessive centralization ot population was t cconinteodcd by a special committee which included reeve morden of stouffville the chairman is reeve gray of york township the committee w complimented on the report but the council felt that the problem vyas too vast to discuss in the dying hours of tho session and it was re ferred to next years council we find from the facts before us that the difficulties which the county is facing have been brought about by the unequal distribution of wealth as between the urban and rural districts and the ever increas ing expenditures brought about by the ever growing population press ing outward into the suburban com munities which in so doing forces new problems upon the surrounding areas the committee reported cheaper paving costs york couuty tries out new type of asphalt possibility of the construction of cheaper highways iu the future was held out by harvey c rose county eugineer when ho addressed york couuty council at its december session ho said the commission laid a new type of asphalt pavement dur ing the year which cost 4500 per mile compared with tho usual cost of j1s000 the new pavement was constructed west of aurora the commission will have to wait until spring to see how the pavement stands up before it could consider adopting the type the engineer said the road was a secondary one built for the use of 700 to s00 vehicles daily boots

communication dear editor your suggestion in last issue regarding returning the present council and school hoard by acclamation is certainly to be com mended it is all the more sugges tive from you since your office would benefit most by an election the present school board has lower ed expenses and the present council has lowered the tax rate both bodies have given as good satisfac tion as any successors could if elect ed why then should the ratepay ers who are most directly effected wish to incur election expenses this year in particular tax payer normal city extension largely growing urban commun ities which exist outside the lim its of tho boundary lines of the city constitute the normal extension of the city to anticipate and provide for this inevitable growth would seem to be much more the responsi bility of the city nan the rural municipalities adjacent to it the report finds the committee cites the protec tion of life and property health and sanitation education

dollars contributed annually by business and industrial assessment in the centre of toron to for educational purposes the committee declares premier henrys metropolitan bill suggested in 19 21 proposed that toronto should contribute one mill of taxes annually for education costs in the metropolitan area and on that basis suburban toronto would be entitled to eight million jj i dollars which it has never received the committee states the com mittee expressed wonder that the suburban areas have survived so long under such conditions toronto should also assist in the relief of unemployed who formerly worked in the industrial section of toronto and moved just outside the city because of lower tax rates the committee believes in this terrible crisis of unem ployment many of these persons have been thrown out of work and are now supposed to draw relief from tho place in which they have homes and not from the section to whose wealth they contributed their labor wornout system the practice of organizing these suburban communities into separ ate municipal units belongs to a wornout system and is very much in need of revision the committee finds tho metropolitan idea in somo form is proposed as a pro cedure which will make practical and effective interrelations and in teraction possible it was never intended that the present county council should be composed of a large number of ur ban muncipalities or that those which now adjoin toronto should be part of that system or if this should have boon the intention we submit that the city of toronto as a muni cipal corporation should also he a part of our county administration and hear their fair share of the ex penditures of our county which are forced upon us through conditions in the city referring to road expenditures the committee points out that toron to with an assessment of nearly one billion collars in 1929 paid 150000 towards highways while tho county with an assessment of only 114- 324531 paid a similar amount for tho information of the coun cil we wish to advise you that the premier commended county council lor the steps which they have taken to consider this matter and proorhis- ed that full consideration would be given to any recommendation which the council deems advisable the report concluded fall fair i should like to continue your enquiry as one who sees things in the same light as yourself i suppose these matters could only be answered propeny and correctly by directors of the fair board as they are the only members of the society that have an opportunity to express their views on such matters from the inside i should like some one of the said group to explain how they could expect donators to con tinue giving when the directors start donating to each other i think this is a matter that should be looked into by members of the society and by doing so wo might get some light on the subject why is- the fair not paying tho depression hrs brought a great deal of underbid work to the surface hut we hope there is none in the markhani fair board if there be we hope the de pression keeps up and by so doing plug up some of the leaks that might cause the agricultural society to be come a detriment to the country through mismanagement we won der why the minutes of the direc tors meetings is not published we feel that all members of any organ ization should be familiar with the business transacted during the year i think mr observer you were right when you referred to the board as a senate with a life membership be cause some of those in connection with the fair are so old their eye sight is unable to distinguish a child from an adult in respect to admis sion tickets if any one is able to give an ex planation of the questions that have already been asked we would he pleased to hear from them in tho next edition of this paper yours truly onlooker markhani dec 1923 brown kid leather romeos slippers in either felt or leather felt
