Fn 'COMMUNITY HALLS The Ontario Legislature is introducing an Act which will authorize the payment of a percentage of the cost of the erection of Community Halls in rural municipalities. The Bill provides that the Government shall pay 257 of cost of such halls up to $2000, the title of the hall to be vested in the municipality in which it is built, and the type of hall to be approved by the Government. These halls, it is hoped. will furnish a meeting place for ' the community, for dances, social events of all kinds and meetings. Club rooms could be built for Women's Institute meetings and for farmers' organizations.

The "Beer and Wine" idea is a sort of "red herring." It seems to have been put in to confuse the voter and split the uote. When the ballot is presented, the only safe way will be to vote "bone dry" and make a sure job of the whole thing. "Beer and Wine" will simple mean the thin edge of the wedge, and if this concession is granted to the "wets," they will get the complete license system in operation again within a few || "years.

The amending Bill is now before the Legislature. It changes the original Act entirely, and provides that Oshawa shall, if sep- aration is consummated, pay its share of practically all the County expenditures on the basis of population. If the Bill now before the Legislature is passed, and separation carried out under it Oshawa will have to pay in the proportion that its population bears to the population of the whole County. This would make Oshawa contribute over 20 per cent of County expenditures; whereas under the original Act Oshawa wasto . . . pay 14} per cent. of such expenditures on the basis of popula- tion. Furthermore, under the Bill the County is now asking the Legislature to pass, Oshawa would contribute on the 20 per cent. basis to the cost of all County bridges and roads,and to the County debt; whereas under the original Act, the town contributed nothing to such expenses.
