the town water system was turned off on wednesday afternoon shortly after three oclock to per mit repairs to a break in a pipe very few householders were pre- arcd for an undue shutoff lasting until ten oclock in the evening and as a consequence some folk went hungry others got by with a dry sandwich and a few cleaned the stores out of pop and all sorts of slush used in lieu of real good drinking water such our stouffville system is noted for investigation showed that workmen failed in their effort to drain the pipes so that necessary repairs could be made and it was not until reeve weldon arrived home from attending county council that he jumped into the situation and directed matters the situation certainly created no end of inconvenience while it lasted and even noahs ark and the flood was no consolation to the householder who had to go with out so much as a cup of tea while men folk walked about with long whiskers and wondering faces right in the height of the trouble a chimney fire broke out at the mansion house which threatened to call for the service ot the fire brigade however by the aid of hand fire extinguishers the danger was averted and wnat might have been a most serious fire had there been no water passed with only damage to the reputation of our good water system having experienced this trouble before of shutting off the water for an undue length of time would it not be a good thing to place some responsible person in charge who know how to really shut off the water and drain the pipes in the trouble area promptly if more shutoffs are required lets have them and so be rid of this great waste of water which while not serious at this time of year would have been a bad loss had it occurred in the dry summer season the reeve and councillors receive no recom pense for their services yet they are called on to get out and handle this sort of situation because they have no employee responsible in such an emergency protest 36c each toward

direct of oiling our road we will buy the oil ourselves and well keep the cost back out of qui taxes and you can sue us for it blazed bert lloyd president of musselmaus lake ratepatrs association speaking before whit church township council on satur day when a deputation appeared to protest the arrangement for putting oil on the roads throughout the municiality this summer in the past the lake areas have been oiled under instruction of the council and the cost borne by the whole munici pality increasing demand on the part of farmers living near the read- side and in hamlets induced reeve toole to lay down one policy for all and that policy is that everybody must have the same treatment what the lake people get the farm er should have and as it was im possible to give oil to all the idea was evolved that a 40 per cent conntribution should be ijortheom- inng from those directly benefitted the decision to do this had arous ed the ire of the cottagers mr lloyd said there are 250 ratepayers they put up their own road signs try to keep the lake area clean pay for collecting garbage in full help the farmer ray for his schools and spend but two months in the district the invest ment in one square mile he de clared is 200000 three out of five ears passing around the lake are outsiders failing to budge the council in their stand to treat cottagers on the same basis as farm ers in respect to oiling mr lloyd openly threw down the challenge to do the job themselves and refuse to pay their taxes to that extent reeve toole outlined the policy to the delegation he said we have adopted a policy equal for all concerned and i expected it would draw some opposition from cottag ers i find in other places oil or dust layer is put on the roads on a frontage basis that is the case in townships just north of us we felt that due to the situation at musselmans and wilcox we could not invoke a bylaw on the frontage basis as cottages are stacked be hind each other on side roads and these would escape we all think yon people need the oil or dust lay er and the direct cost will be so small one farmer badly needing a dust layer offered to pay as much as 6 or 7 and his annual tax ex ceeds 200 i think you men should agree to the same treatment as others like this are willing to accept past president wm evans pro tested against being forced to eat sand with every meal and also objected to someone who said the lake people were a kind of detri ment anyway we are not cheap said mr evans we help pay for cutting weeds shoveling snow etc etc and we are not kicking we are good hydro patrons too the past president said during a heated part of the de bate deputy reeve cook told presi dent lloyd to stop chewing before you hear my argument mr cook was explaining that some farmers who badly needed oil pay an annual tax of 200 whereas a hundred or moro cottagers pay only about 000 each councillor kidd said he always found the cottagers good citizens but he thought many of them were under the impression that all ihuir taxes went to the benefit of the township whereas about half of it ensures to the benefit of the county he favored the basis laid down by council for oiling as fair like wise councillor herb wells favoied it councillor leary said that since the government pay 50 pc of the cost the township assessment around the lake should take care of their share reeve toole again reminded the deputation that council was only asking cottagers to do what they have done in georgina township and others he named clerk crawford said that on a basis of 200 cottages the cost of each individual cottage would only bo about 36c but one farmer mr duffy will have to pay 7 or 8 whole hamlets have applied includ ing lemonvllle and bloomington at an average direct cash contribu tion of a dollar or more per house holder or 20c per rod better methods in water system it is high time that somethlu was done along this line our water system has been operating in a very sloppy manner and sooner or later will run into the red if more businesslike methods are not employed the fact that water is supplied at next to nothing is no reason that some should escape paying four dollars a year for all services while others pay the full amount if a householder has a bath room kitchen taps lawn tap that is all they can be charged and if some of these services are not supplied then the cost is less kitchen tap only is 2 per year lawn tap only 1 and bath and toilet service 1 per year sometimes there is a barn tap aad this is 1 for ordinary purposes where in canada can you get sudi low water rates we commend the action or council in getting after this situa tion and we hope they will insti tute such arrangements that will not allow the system to lapse again into such condition somewhere in the archives of stouffville is a bylaw which forbids plumbers householders and any other person from effecting an ex tension to the water system con nected with the domestic supply without securing a permit from the village clerk this bylaw has been completely ignored over the years and the result is that bath rooms have been installed outside lawn services added and other extension made without the knowledge of the village authorities with the re sult that some have gone complete ly free of the usual water charge for lawn service or bath room it is not that the amount to be paid is great but the principal that all should pay alike must be maintain ed in view of this situation the council will tighten up on the whole matter as a first step they have appoint ed air george storey to make a sur vey of the supply or service ot every householder and when once these are recorded they intend to clamp the law on those who in future open water pipes to make extension without first obtaining a permit propose a fire area in township hear rus creighton and canadian mountaineers at garden party next tuesday his the engagements mr and mrs a h lawson tor
