It is, therefore, evi- dent that less water was used this year than last. Why? Three guesses are in order. (1) Less waste in the distribution system and (2) Less de- mand because of vacant houses and stores, and (8) Less demand for in- dustrial JuTposen: It is probably a ombination of all three. Power Demand Less fhe "peak" demand for power ap- pears to have occurred at 5.40 p.m. on Friday, Feb, 6th, and amounted to 739 H.P. The k.w.h. consumption for the month was 236,320, A year ago the peak demand for the month was 827 HP, with a kwh. con- sumption of 276,800. A decided falling off in both de- mand and consumption, due to the slowing up of industrial power us- ers in the present business depres- sion, is evident. The following billing records for the month of February will show the nigger in the woodpile: Power Light Water 1980 1484.15 4466.95 1036.25 1931 1184.10 4631.22 925.82 LACROSSE MEETING HAS BEEN CALLED FOR MONDAY NIGHT An effort is to be made to revive an interest in lacrosse in Whitby, A meeting of all those interested in Canada's national game, which was very popular and flourished in Whit- by many years ago, will be held in the office of Bob Richardson, of the Whitby Coal and Wood Yard, Brock Street South, next Monday evening at eight o'clock. It is expected that lacrosse enthusiasts from Brooklin, where a good league flourished last year, will be on hand. There is a feeling that with several good play- ers in town, lacrosse can stage a comeback here. SOFTBALL OUTLOOK FOR THIS SEASON IS STILL UNDECIDED With the grass beginning to show fn spots, the sun shining on both sides of the fence, and the boys playing marbles on the streets, it is about time to about softball. Just what Whitby will have in this line is uncertain at present. There is a good chance that there will be a girls' team as in former years, and possibly a town league. The fans in oth- cases will probably be called upon to meeting in conclave before many weeks have passed. In several places softball meetings have al- ready taken place. CRIBBAGE TOURNEY WAS BIG SUCCESS; "PRIZE WINNERS Results of the Cribbage Tourna- ment held on February 26th, in the Council Chamber are as follows:-- First prize, 10 wins, Chas.

Bassett, is un- dergoing extensive improvements. Mr. Bassett is renovating the entire building and putting in two new store fronts, as well as fitting up a nice apartment on the second floor. UNITED CHURCH SERVICES At the United Church on Sunday at both services the preacher will be the Rev. E. 8. Bishop, formerly of the Metropolitan Church, Regina. In the afternoon at Almonds the preacher will be Rev. D. B. Lang- ford, of St. John's Church, Port Whitby. The minister, Rev. A. L. | Richards, is now much improved in health. CHECKERS ARE MOVING Chief Quantrill is leading by two games, with only four more to play the score to date is 8 to 6 with 2 draws, and Capt. Best is on the small end of it. The remaining four games will be played on Friday night and Capt. Best's friends are hoping that he will do the almost impossible, cut. down his handicap and win the Whitby championship. The results will be announced in next week's Gazette, and it looks likely to be Chief Quantrille. Twelve of our checkerists will travel to Myrtle next Monday even- ing and play a picked team from the country around, in the "Com- munity Hall." Friday, the 13th, Whitby lovers of the silent game will journey to Toronto to play the return match with "Neilson's unbeaten team. Yes, "checkers are moving." ST.

Hutchison, ex-president of Whitby Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. J. H. Ormiston, former sec- retary, were in Uxbridge on Monday evening as guest speakers at a re- organization of the Uxbridge Board of Trade. Over fifty business and professional men of town at- tended a banquet served by the Im- mpire, in the Music Hall. Organ- ization was undertaken, officers elected and matters concerning the town's welfare, particularly from an industrial standpoint, considered. His Worship. Mayor Page occupied the chair. Mr. Hutchison received a warm welcome back to his former town, and his story of organization achievements, aims and objects of Whitby Chamber of Commerce, to- gether with some suggestions for Uxbridge, was enthusiastically .re- ceived, Mr. Ormiston spoke of the com- munity aspect of the Chamber, how it Drought business men together in a social way, and how a live Board of Trade could, by b: down the barriers of criticism and fault- finding and prejudices, and setting up in their place good-will, feeling and mutual understanding, accomplish a great work. The man behind the guns in re-or- gunising the Board was Mr. W. M. "roskery, the live representative of the Department of Agriculture. A pleasant surprise, in the form of a credit note for the substantial sum of $2,287.20, came to the offices of Whitby Public Utility Commis- sion on Tuesday morning, from the Ontario Hydro Electric er Com- mission. It was Whitby's much anti- cipated "thirteenth bill" from the Hydro for the year ending October 81st, 1930. Incidentally, Tuesday was the birthday of Superintendent G. W. P. Every, and he looked upon day gift. The amount is the largest for which the P.U.C, has been given credit in any one year gince the town of Whitby became a partner in the great Hydro enterprise. The note for $2,237.20 brings the amount of the net operating surplus of the Commission in the electric light and power department to $5, 759, all charges being taken care of. The cost of power delivered to the Town of Whitby by the Hydro last ear was $33.30 per horse power. t was $36.00 the year before, so that a substantial reduction has been made. This is due to more econ- omical operation on the part of the Hydro. The "thirteenth bill" shows an amount of $34.94 for interest ac- erued on 1930 balance, which is, of course, the amount of the credit note. The town's equity in the Hydro system for the year ending October 31st, 1930, was $3,837.89. The town's total equity in the system now stands at $8,677.18, and it is growing each year. Ultimately, Whitby and various other municipal- ities will own the generating sta- tions, transmission lines, ete., of the Provincial Hydro system. The Hydro is only a trustee for the municipali- ties which will eventually own ev- erything, lock, stock and barrel. It is interesting to note that Whit- by"s P. U. Cs gross revenue last year from all sources was $49,956. 28, while the operating surplus was $5,478.79, the difference represent- ing operating costs. Over in Oshawa the net operating surplus of the P. U.C. was greater than the gross rev- enue. Whitby Public Utility Commis- sion today is in splendid financial shape, notwithstanding the present depression and recent extraordinary expenditures. It is a very valuable asset to the town, and one which is growing more valuable year after year. ~ As was anticipated when the rail. way board recently issued an order for a new basis of daily train service on the Whitby to Lindsay line, the new schedule which has been au- thorized is to be of very little real value to the territory served. Notice was received by Town Frost on Saturday, also by logal C, N. R. agents of the schedule for the daily service, so far as Whitby is concerned, The schedule calls for the south bound train to reach Whitby at 9.05 a.m. which might bring the high school students in to school in fairly good time. The northbound train, however, is scheduled to leave Whit- by at 11.30 a.m. so that it will leave itors in Whitby Wishing to re- n home the same day a little over hours in the town, ; This schedule has been drawn yp in accordance with the railway board order which requires the train to be back in Lindsay within eight hours of the time it leaves there in the morn. at Whitby at 905 a.m. vil there on the return journey at 33 rial Order of the Daughters of the a3 erk J. R. : in the afternoon, and this is the ser- vice which the interested municial- ities were anxious to have retained The new schedule, it is announged, a go into effect on Monday, March The Board of Education at a spe- cial meeting on Tuesday evening de- cided to enter into an agreement with Garton's bus Inc to transport the High School pupils to and from the north, The bus will leave Manches- ter at 8.15 a.m, arriving at the High School at 8.50. Going north the bus leaves the school at 3.45 pau. and ar- rives at Manchester at 4.20 p.m. WHITBY HIGH SCHOOL Results of examinations held last week : Form V. French Comp.--M. Mec- Arthur 94, H.
