ORMISTON TOUNGIL MAKES FURTHER MOVETO ~ SATISFY FARMERS Offer of Last Week Rejected =A New Proposal to be Submitted "That this Council deeply re- ets that the farmers of the 'own of Whitby have been un- able to accept the offer of 'the Council in regard to the assess- ment and tax exemption on farm lands, and in order to yet make a settlement of this matter, this Council offers a five-year agree- ment, a seven and a. half mill ption, on an t to * be fixed by the 1930 Court of Re- vision or his Honor the County + Judge, the proposed agreement to be conditional upon the with- drawal of the farmers' application to the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board - of secession from the Town of Whitby." Another effort will be made by the Town Council as set forth in the sbove resolution passed at the meet- ing Monday night, to effect a settle. ment with the owners of farm lands i nthe town the long standing dis- pute regarding assessments and taxa- tion. The Council with regret learn- 'ed from the farmers through a let- ter that the offer of an exemption of seven and a half mills based on the dssessment of 1929, with a five year agreement, had been rejected, 'and that the farmers were unanimous that they would only enter into an agreement as proposed on the basis of the assessment of 1 which is considerably lower than that of 1929. When the letter from the farmers was read it seemed as if the Council would make no further offer but in- struct the solicitor to write the On- tario Railway and Municipal Board asking for judgment on the applica- tion of geveral farmers for an order to leave town and join the neighbor- ing municipality of the Township of hitby. Different members around the Board expressed their opinion that the town had, in the interests of all other tax payers, gone the limit in an offer to make a just and fair settlement with the farmers and retain all of them as citizens and tax- Pou ids ' n. W. J. Davidson, 3 member of last years' Council and Court of Revision, advanced the suggestion that as a last effort to bring about a settlement the Council should ask | the ers to sign an agreement on the terms offered, allowing them, however, to appeal to the rt of Revision of this year for any adjust. ments of their assessments which they considered they should have. Coun. Davidson's idea, to make it more clear, was to have the assess- ments of 1929 apply for 1930, and give the farmers an opportunity, af- ter they have bad signed an agree- ment with the Council, to come to "the Court of Revision, or if found necessary after the Court had finish- ed its sessions, appeal to the County Judge, Coun. Davidson was certain that the tarmers would agree to such "an arrangement and would sign the afgrecment on the terms offered by . On the other hand, Deputy-reeve . Deverell felt that the offer would not be accepted, also that it was useless to bargain further with the farmers. He favored allowing the Railway - Board judgment to take its course, * * stating that in his opinion the Coun- cil had nothing to fear from it. He felt that even if the Council con. sented to the 1928 .assessment pro- posal, the farmers would not accep it and would ask for some further concession. + On he) 'motion jnirodteed by Bacve Al 'W. son, and seconde Abert Davison. to make the farmers the further offer, the Council was divided as follows, when deputy- reeve Deverell called for .the yeas and nays: Yeas--Reeve Jackson, Coun. Rowe, Thousands Now Ect Coun. Davidson, Coun. M Bowman. ays -- Deputy-reeve Deverell, Coun. Ormiston, Coun. Reid. Coun. W. M. Pringle was absent. A copy of the motion goes for- ward to the farmers and to the town solicitor to be forwarded to the Railway Board. The farmers ih their letter, signed J..G. Fothergill and John W. between the 1928 and 1929 assess- between the 1928 and 19299 assess- ments was $8,128, and in taxes, less the 7.5 exemption, and based on last years' rate, $307, They suggested that the amount involved was too small for the Council to stop at a possible sett! t an inted out that last year the farmers had to pay a higher increase in their taxes than any other citizens of the town. On the letter there was consider- able discussion and a general expres- sion of opinion. In making the offer the Council felt that it was strengthening its position with the Railway Board, which body would see that the Town was anxious to make a fair and just settlement with the farmers.

Broadbent Stressed--Annual Grant to the Farmers The Secretary of the Whitby Citi- zens' Band, Frank Threadgold, waited on the Council Monday evening with the request that the salary of the Bandmaster J. Broadbent, of Osh- awa, amounting to $250.00, and if ssible an increase of $50, be paid y the Council. The town has paid the salary for the past two years. Mr. Threadgold referred to the good work accomplished by Mr. Broadbent since he assumed the leadership of the Band, and noted that when he was offered recently the leadership of another band for $300 he had de- cided that he would consider Whitby first as he was satisfied with his work here. It was further pointed out that if Mr. Broadbent was not retained here it would be very difficult to se- cure a man who could take his place. Mr. Threadgold mentioned that the Band wished to erect a suitable bandstand in the town and was anxious to work with a special com- mittee of the Council, Chamber of Commerce and other organizations in order that the work could be financed without coming to the town. He pointed out that the Band was able to buy its own instruments and music and pay all other expenses but it could not pay the bandmaster's salary. The Council without discussion re- ferred the request to the Finance Committee for consideration, and to report at the next regular. meeting. ks Tax Rebate John Watson in a letter applied for a rebate of 50, the amount paid in taxes last year on his cot- tages and lots at the lake which he stated were flooded nearly all of last summer with the result that he se- cured absolutely no revenue from them while he also sustained consi- derable damage. Referred to the Court of Revision. A bylaw was passed to authorize the issue of debentures amounting to $3,300 to Jay for sidewalks built in 1928 and 1929. Clean Up the Cells Council supported by a vote a re- solution introduced by Coun. Rowe that the Chief of Police be instructed to make the men who enjoy the town's hospitality in the town cells in the municipal building each night clean up before they leave. Coun. Rowe described the most unsatisfac- tory condition of the cells morning after morning, old clothes, papers and other rubbish being left around. by the knights of the road . He felt that it was most unfair to the care- taker, and an imposition on the part of the men who were given shelter cach night, A letter from the Department of Agriculture, asking Council to for- ward the name of the Weed Inspec- tor before February 28 of this year, was referred to the Committee on Applications. An application from William Har- ris for a light at the corner of Byron and Maple Streets was referred to the Committee on Fire and Light. Council voted the annual grant of $500 to the Whitby Fire Department and also the sum of $75, the Fire Chief's salary for 1929, The clerk and Coun. Davidson re- ported that William Wilkinson, an old valuable member of the Firé Bri- gade, wished to resign. Council felt that although perhaps past the age limit Mr. Wilkinson was very active and a most reliable fireman, and, if possible, his services should be re- tained, The chairman of the Fire and Light Committee will ask Fireman Wilkin- son to reconsider his decision, ASHBURN ACTIVITIES Ashburn, Jan, 29.--Much sympathy is felt for Mrs, George Jeffrey in the death of her father, Mr. Jame Cook of Myrtle.

M. Davidson, man- aging secretary of the Industrial Development Board of Manitoba, In a review of Manitoba's indus. trial prospects. "Nevertheless the West, and rarticularly Manitoba, can look back on 1929 with the knowledge that real progress has bcen made in the Industrialization of the prairie centres," Mr. Davidson adds, Forty-six new industries came into the province during 1929 and it is estimated that they contribute between them $20,000 to the city's payroll - weekly, and they introduce" over twa millions worth of new capital, Be ides. the industria! development board, following through its polisy of keening closely in touch with eastern and United States concerns likely to expand weetward, estab- lished connections that will defin itely bring new capital of over $3, 000,000 into the province early this new year. This sum is repre sented by Canadian Explosives and a new gypsum prolucts company, Which will re-* their plants short ly. Other large developments in con- nection with manufacturing are promised for an improvement in the general business conditions of country, "Every mall brings the Board requests for information about factory sites, markets and rleative data, and as a result of one such question, we can say that we are well on the way to attract. ing a large sugar beet company here. This will mean much more than the establishment of an in- dustry that will absorb a large number of manufacturing opera- tives, for this particular industry means a great improvement to cer- eal land when the bects are grown as alternating crops. Probably it is superfluous to mention that sugars beets are always prefitable to the intelligent grower,' he says. Electro industries, because of Winnipeg's unparalleled power re- sources and wonderful water sup- ply. must take a very prominent place in western industrial growth, and a survey by an internationally known concern is among likely steps to be taken by the Boara early this year. Meantime, the Industrial Devel. opment Board Is reaching to all western centres with the object of bringing the prairie market as an economic unit into the conscious- ness of the people. "Given support tlt we hope for, 'Made-In-Manl toba' Week, an annual event that has the hearty support of the manufacturers, will this year be- come a 'Made-in-the-West' Week, and consistent propaganda will be carried on to urge that, all thinge be eqaul, prairie residents should glve preference to the goods made in their own centres," he concludes.

Playing as nice a game of hockey as has been displayed this season, the 'o- os] stalwarts held the Ontarios in check throughout the game and for at least forty of the sixty minutes had the better of the play. The game was clean, but nevertheless had plenty of thrills and the close checking of both teams provided some real interesting hockey for the huge crowd that attended the game. There is one thing very no- ticeable about Port Hope as a hoc- key town and that is the generous measure of support they award their O.H.A. representatives not only at the home rink, but away from home as well. If Bowman- ville had nearly as much support as have the Port Hope teams they would doubtless be stirred to great- er triumphs and measure up to ex- pectations even better than they now do. The game last night was exciting from start to finish, but the On- tarios did not play the class of hockey that they played when they beat Bowmanville a short time ago. While in comparison, Bowmanville played a better class of hockey and not only deserved their tie but really deserved to win. The see- ond period was Bowmanville's from start to' final bell and in the first und last periods they had as much to say the least as had their op ponents. The referee kept a close check on the game and uothing responsible for the cleanness of the game and the superior class of hockey which was displayed. As is the custom in playoffs no over. time was played as goals count on the round and if the game here on Wednesday results in another tie no overtime will be given but a further game will be played on neutral ice, But no one here is looking for a tie on Wednesday and everything points to a win for the home towners and another step forward in the O.H.A. sche- dule for the province. The local team all played a nice game and it would hardly be fair to mention anyone in particular. The only re- grettable 'hing about the game was the injury to Camigron at the start of the third reife: put him out of commiss or the rest of the game. We hope to see him well dnd on the ice on Wednesday. The Ware brothers, Roy and Ken, were the best for Port Hope with Crossett close behind but not up to his usual form. His rushes did not have the effect that they gemerally do mainly because of the close checking of the local lads. First Period The game opened with end to end rushes aad Port Hope playing hard for an early lead, but failing to get it. From the start team work and classy hockey was notice- able and at this early stage gave promise of being interesting. Char tran got hurt in a mix-up in the Port Hope defence area and Cam- eron took his place. Crossett took a two-minute penalty for boarding and the game continued with plen- ty of pep and the respective custo- dians have lots of hard shots to save. Ken Ware came close when he cleared the Bowmanville de- fence and shot from close range, but Colwell was there and made a nice save. Candler went off for tripping Crossett ahd Hills follows ed him shortly for tripping Char- tran. several spectacular dashes only to be effectively checked at the Port Hope defence. Game continued with end to end plays and both Colwell and Micks found they were at no picnic. Candler went off for two minutes for chopping and the home team taking advantage of the five men team pounded Col- well for & short while. The latter was, however, too good for them and each and every shot was treat- ed with the same coolness and was kept clear of the nets. Piper open- ed the scoring' for Bowmanville on ap ass from Chartran and the ex- cited fans were subdued for a while, The Bowmaaville checking' proved very effective and many & brilliant rush ended in failure by this consistent work of the visitors, Woods went off for boarding and Ken Ware shortly after scored the equalizer on a pass from Crossett, The huge crowd went wild at this and kept up a continual roar for another, end, Bowmanville took many a long shot in an endeavor to get a lead again but the period ended with nll even at one to ome. Second Period Bowmanville spent the first few minutes of this period in the Port Hope defence area and repeatedly shot for the home team's goal, but without success, most of their shots going wide. The local boys showed to better advantage in this frame than they did in the first and kept up A regular barrage on the Port Hope goal with occasional spectacular trips up the ice from the Ontarios. pass from Chartran but was dls: allowed, Chartran being offside. The game speeded up and the fans, were treated to some of the most exciting hockey of the season, "Mike" Osborne's ' Bowmanville | passed his notice. This was in part: Chartran and Densen made.

HERBERT MORTLOCK Bowmanville and Port Hope Tie 2-2 in Thrilling Game Micks was a very busy man and Bowmanville rained shots thick and fast at him but without success, On one of the Ontarios' breakaways, Ware emerged from a scramble in front of the Bowmanville goal and tallied the second for the home team and did the crowd cheer? They kept it up for about five min- 'utes until they began to get tired of the mnofse they were making. Play continued mostly in the Port Hope defence arsa and Hooper, gaining the puck took a shot from the blue line and evened the score again. The Shelks continued to have the better of the game till the end of the period, but falled to get in the lead again. Referee Ernie Parkes was checking closely and the result was clean, fast and ex- citing hockey. Score 2 all. Third Period Woods opened the third with a penalty which put Cameron out of commission for the rest .of the game. Just what happened was hard to say but Scotty had a ter- rible fal land had to be carried off the ice. Bowmanville again took the offensive attitude and t Micks busy for several minufés: Port Hope broke away several times but the close checking of the local stalwarts prevented any imminent danger. Crossett, who in thel ast game in Bowmanville did almost what he liked with the Bowmanville eee tubusfbaa cwn Bowmanville defenceb ut was up- able to pass them very often and seem worried with the constant checking of Moise. Chartran and Densen proved a.strong bulwark and Colwell did his part when the latter were passed. Port Hope tried hard to force the issue as the game wore on but were un- successful. Woods went off for shoving and Ken Ware missed a dandy right in front of the met with only Colwell to beat. Exgitement reached fever height as the game proceeded and many times Port Hope rushed the Bowmanville de- fence only to fall at the psycholo- gical moment. Moise went off for cross checking Roy Ware and Chertran followed him within a tew minutes for cross checking the same player. Theg ame evened up towards the end, and end to end rushes featured the rest of the play. The game ended after sixty minutes of real hard hockey with both teams still deadlocked with two apiece.

UNITED COUNTIES SPENT LARGE SUMS ON COUNTY ROADS The United Counties of North- umberland and Durham spent last year the sum of $640,700 on coun- ties roads according to a statement which was 'presented at Friday's meeting of the Counties' Council. Of this amount the provincial gov- ernment pays one-half, leaving $320,350 to be found by the muni- cipalities' within the counties. Another road account that has not been wiped out, is a debt to the province of the counties, share of the cost of provincial highways Several years ago it was arranged to pay the Ontario Department of Higkways, $60,000 a 'year as a plan of gradually reducing this in- debtedness but since then exten- sions to the provincial highway system in the two counties, togeth- er with maintenance, have largely counter-balanced the method of smoritizsation, Ex-Warden W. T Wood and M. J. Holman, chairman of the finance committee last year interviewed the provincial authori ties and reported last week tha' their suggestion "that the annua' payment be increased to $9.00 or that debentures be fssued to retire the debt. In the finance. conmities's re- port read Thursday by Reeve Vane Volkenburg, the chairman, Warden Nelson and Mr. VanVolkenburg wree instructed to interview the Highways Department and request that the payment con.inue for this market {s improved. Quiet Week-End The first week-end in February proved to be a quiet affair in Bow- manville and burglars and house- breakers kept away from the town giving the police little to do. The weather man, however, provided lots of work, for the business men and residents allke and all and sundry will have to get out and clear the sidewalks as an opening exercise for the week. The sun failed to put in an appearance on Sunday, thus not allowing the groundhog or bear to see its own shadow and according to this we will have spring with us in six weeks. Nobody will be sorry to see the spring, and the sooner it comes the sooner the unemployed, of which there are a great many, will be provided with something to do after the lengthy slack per- fod, Increased Grant to Children's Ald That the work being done by the Children's Aid Soclety in the Unit- ed Counties is satisfactory to the members of that body is evidenced by the fact that they decided to increase by $25 a month their grant to ft. This means that the Council will pay this year $375 a month. This action was taken af- ter complete review of the work of the Society had been made to the 'council by Dr. Daley of Port Hope last week. The finance committee's report also provides for grants to $750 to each of the three hospitals, Bow- manville, Cobourg and Port Hope. NIGHT WINDS IN THE ROCKIES The night wind from the moun- tain tops is a metoreological phen- omenon found among high moun tains and noticeable in many places in Waterton Lakes national park in the province of Alberta, Warm air rises from the valleys during the heat of the day but at sunset a ¢ool current of air from the peaks rushes downwards, bringing with it the scents of pines and larches and, it may be of the flowers of some alpine meadow two thousand feet above. This downward cur. rent is frequently noticeable aa% Cameron falls, at the base of Sofa mountain and in many other places in the park.
