This was done with a view to withdrawing the returning officer as far as possible from political influence. At the time the amendmegys was introduced by Pre- mier King, it was intimated that appointments might go to officials in the respective localities = who, from the nature of their associa- tions and responsibilities should be "free from political bias," ~ Mr, Ward intimated that he will in the selection of deputies do so on an efficiency basis regardless of political leanings. == Thousands Now Ect Mr, Ward is well and favorably known in Durham County.

CANADA ASSUMES NO PROMINENCE (Continued from Page 1) Each has its separate sphere and authority; there is no subordination among durselves; but the allegiance and loyalty which each bears to the crown in the person of His Majesty supplies the living expression of "the tie which unites this great common- wealth, the & Devotion to King _ ~ "Let me say also that in no part of the empire could there exist great- er devotion and affection to our sovereign than in Canada, where the descendants of two great races have with those who come from time to time to our shores, united to develop and to preserve a nationality which rests for its harmony, its tolerance and if assurance of liberty on the freedom and security guaranteed by the British crown. "Canada comes here with no as- sumption of undue prominence or importance. She hopes particularly for the opportunity to be useful and helpful to those who will bear the burden of this great event. She is fully conscious that she is so situated as to be spared in some degree the anxiety which other: nations exper- fence regarding security. At the same time she has been ready to assume what she conceives to be her na- tional responsibility and has shared in full measure with the nations of the world the bitter experiences of war. In Close Accord "Our dominion is in close accord with the development in world affairs to which you, Mr. Prime Minister, have referred, which looks not wholly towards armament for secur- ity, but also toward machinery which forestalls the necessity for force by disposing of differences on the basis of discussion and reason. If her ex- periences in this Jaspect can be put to service in the deliberations of this conference, we gladly tender it for this purpose. "And so Canada joins with the na- tions assembled here in the sincere and earnest hope that definite and practical results may be achieved concerning the questions which con. front this conference. bi I add these hopes t ¢ 6 are int by : the Report Showed Favorable ; d thought that a successful outcome of this missoin will be. received by an anxious world as evidence of a genuine determination to work lout ways and means for the pacific set- tlement of international' differences and we cannot forget that after all this ultimate accomplishment, this high enterprise, is the supreme busi- ness to which the nations of the world have pledged unalterably their national honor and their joint en- deavor."

Join Good Roads Ass'n Council decided to renew its mem- berspih in the Ontario Good Roads Association, but declinéd to renew its membership in the Ontario Municipal Association the fee for which is $25.00. Council figured that the town did not reecive sufficient benefit from the Association to warrant. the ex- penditure, Police Report " The Chief Constable presented his report for the year 1929, containing a number of statistics as to cases dealt with, fines collected stolen, property recovered, and summonses served for other police forces. Coun. Davidson was not clear on what the words "cases otherwise disposed of" meant, and the report was referred to the Committee on Applications, of which Coun. Ormiston is chairman, to secure an explanation from the Chief and report back to Council. Accounts totalling ncarly $1800, representing an accumulation of over a month, were passed for payment. Five bylaws were given three read- ings and passed. , HH dealt with | appointments to civic boards, and the j other provided for a loan of $50,000 from the Bank of Commerce until the taxes are due and collected, The reading of these bylaws took up considerable time of the council. TOWN COUNC MEET FARMERS ON FRIDAY EVENING Offer of Settlement of Dis- pute Re-Assessments to be Made ---- Expressing a strong desire to reach if possible a satisfactory settlement of the long drawn out dispute be- tween the Town of Whitby and cer- tain owners of farm lands within the municipality with regard to assessment" and 'taxation. . of their lands, the Town Council at its first regular session of the year held. on Monday night endorsed a motion, introduced by Reeve A, W. Jackson, and seconded by Coun. F. T. Rowe, that the farmers be invited to meet with the Council on Friday evening of this week at cight o'clock, to con- sider an offer which will be made to them. Notice to the farmers will be given by letter, and the hope was freely expressed that every farmer whose lands are involved in the dsi- pite would attend. Prior to the meeting, Council had a conference' with its special coun- sel, Gordon DD. Conant, of Oshawa, during which legal aspects of any offer that might be made with a view ot settlement were gone into, The judgment of the Ontario Rail- way and Municipal Board, which carly in December heard the applica- tions of several farmers for permis. sion to leave town and join the Township of Whitby, has not yet been delivered, It has been sugges- ted by the Board, however, that the town and farmers make aneffort to come to some - satisfactory under- standing. Failing this, it was stated, the Board would give judgment. On the assessment as approved of by the county judge several months ago, The farmers were offered a straight mill exemption of 6.6, the maximum allowed by the statute. This offer was accepted by some far- mers and refused by others, the lat- ter appealing to the Railway Board. At the time o fthe hearing before { Judge Thompson, the farmers set up through their solicitor that the town under an act of 1903, still in effect, still had power to grant a larger exemption. The judge held, however, that inasmuch as the Council had re- fused to renew the old agreement drawn up under this act, it was not now before the Court, and could not be considered. If the offer to be made by the Council is nit accepted by the farm- ers. a deadlock in settlement negotia- tions will have been reached, Stock Market Prices Mark~, Summary by Uanadian I'ress Toronto and New York Stock Quotations Supplied by Stoble, Forlong and Co.
