charged with assault on reeve reeve george padget is laid uy with a badly swoolen eye as a re sult of being assaulted by one jas curtis of hedford according to in formation laid against the defend ant in police court last week the assault is alleged to have taken place in the stables on mr padgets farm when curtis called at the reeves home to finish out an argu ment started at a party the night previous when the two men met at the social function mr padget is said to have charged curtis with circu lating yarns about him in connec tion with the recent election and which are now before the courts iu an effort to unseat the reeve curtis vehemently denied the charge of having said anything about the reeve the matter was dropped but next day curtis called at padgets home and invited the reeve to get in his car to have a talk mr padget suggested they go into the stable which they did curtis again denied the charge and after some words was ordered off the place it was then the big fellow of about 35 years of age struck the reeve a terrific blow in the face which will confine him to him to his home for a few weeks it is reported curtis was brought before magi strate keith in

very serious fift some iiue cemetery difficulties are you the owner of a plot in the stouffville cemetery if you are not the owner do you at least assume responsibility on the owners behalf if the plot in which you are interested is located iu the socalled old cemetery have you paid the necessary amount to place it under permanent care if you have not done this have you annually reimbursed the caretaker for his work in maintaining the appearance of the plot for you the cemetery commission ex press keen disappointment over the unsatisfactory response to appeals made to plotholders asking them to do their part in cemetery main- tainence by meeting arrears of in debtedness for year by year care of their plots as the number of plots still not on permanent upkeep reaches into the hundreds the failure of many to pay for frequent grasscutting and other care has become for them a serious matter n finance though this money is urgently needed the suggestion that tilt illage pay for the upkeep of these plots will hardly appeal to our fair- minded plotowners as a civic duty taxation for such a purpose would fall upon nonowners of plots and upon owners who have already paid in the full amount required for per petual care moreover nonresident plotholders would escape re sponsibility entirely while resi dent taxpayers owning burial plots elsewhere would possibly have the burden of a double tax the commission therefor appeals to all responsible owners to do their part immediately to solve this problem the charge for the main- tainenco of plots not permanently endowed for upkeep is a legal one which can rightly be levied against unused plots or parts of plots action based upon this right is be ing seriously considered by the commission the most practical and satis factory course for all owners is to arrange as soon as possible for perpetual upkeep this will avoid annoyance and confusion on both sides and guarantee proper care through the years for the information of iold cemetery plot holders the com mission wishes it stated the sum of fifteen dollars per plot is required to place these holdings in charge of the perpetual upkeep fund a hearty response to this appeal by all who have neglected payment or forgotten that oven the care of a cemetery requires money will ho appreciated remittances may be made to john w ratcliff secy- troas or to ernest strong care taker
