busineaa gfnc 174 reatdence in better form thatvcry interesting and informative book pub lished by the ontario department of municipal affairs and giving the municipal statistics of the province has been issued in ricw and better form this year copy received with the compliments of hon david croll has been perused with great deal of interest instead of having to secure figures regarding the one municipality in several places it is now arranged for getting almost at glance an other improvement is the listing of municipalities by size rather than alphabetically and makes for an easier comparison of the various municipalities which go to make up the province the only fault that could really be found with the book is the fact that the figures relate io rhe year 1034 and are therefore not right up to the minute the detail contained in such book of course necessitates period of time to compile and accounts for this only fault always very valuable book to 6ciri possession of he 1034 municipal statistics in its new form is indeed fund of statistics that is prized the sunday school lesson foil sunday retuxltauy igul erfldr justified investment in an event such as last weeks fire the advantages of adequate fire protection and fire insurance are readily discerned the annual expenditure on fire protection may at other times seem heavy but in an instance similar to wednesday at last week it is paltry the fire brigade seemed in no way handi capped through the lack of facilities with which to cope with situation which might easily have re suited in wiping out big section of the business part of the town with the burned building star rounded by several frame structures and on one side with not more than six feet separating it from an other frame building the blaze was confined to tho one building which was doomed before the fire was discovered taken into consideration that the tem perature was well below zero and strong gale was blowing the charred pieces of wood for three blocks right over the centre of the town the efficiency of the brigade and apparatus is readily seen pressuic was all that could be desired there was no dimin ishlngofthe water availubleiirspite0fthe9000i gallons used on the fire and in the three lines of hose laid there was not an interruption from breakage fortunate one might say yes but also fortunate circumstance of being ready for such an emergency there has been steady improvement in fighting sucn fires and the advantage has been demonstrated and the expenditure justified ruler over small thingb first arthur williams was unseated asreeve of eust york when it wus shown he owed urrears of rent for over three months when he was nominated lost de cember tho constituency he represents is not in very enviable financial position and the filling of offices by men who cannot meet their own obligations is not means to bring about improvement the announcement that the ccf will use every endeavor to reelect williamswill not put that organization in any better light either men who aspire to office in any municipality should at least have some stake or holding in the community they aim to direct it need not be property holding but it would certainly make for better financial government in municipal affairs if all who aspire were required to show suffirierft financial responsibility to warrant them being careful in administration of affairs perhaps after all property holding would be the safest plan the re election of williams will not improve the standing of east york let him prove himself better qualified io small things before he aspires to administration over over great things his one talent wasnt used to very good effect tub bislno ql5wkaat10n towns and villages the publication of the municipal statistics and perusal of it prompts second editorial on towns and villages it might be termed the second in series we suppose only it isnt series these statistics show that there nre in the province sixty two municipalities designated as towns the smallest of which ojibway has an assessed population of gl it also shows that five centres designated as villages hnve population of over two thousand and the largest of these forest hill bus an assessed popuia tion of 7809 these of courbe are all based on the records of 1931 among the villages acton corneal sixth in point of population the five above have all over the two thousand population and in that point if they chose could become town it would seem that most of the centres below the two thousand figure had secured their classification thus on account of being county towns another interesting comparison in this baok of statistics is the acreage of the towns and the populaj tion actons population is given as 1809 and ucreuge as 304 or roughly about fiftli of an acre per person whitby has 3732 population and an acreage of 350 or over an acre person george town has 2203 persons and covers 1031 acre half an acre per person petrolia has over an acre in its borders tor every person ojibway the smallest town listed as such has an assessed population ofot and an acreage of 1398 acres in this town every body it would seem has twentyacre farm we wight go on at some length and really make series of articles but we wont do that but it would seem that the designation of town or village really docs not designate anything purticulur other than change ot municipal formation of the council fho contests are on dominion and provincial parliaments are in ses sion and the work of government and opposition farces has been pitted against each other one won ders sometimes why it is so unless it is the ageold delight that most people have in witnessing contest between individuals or groups as in games and sports in government debates however the government always wins so the uselessness of the contest is more apparent than in horse race where the odds are heavy for the favorite in the opening speech of hon benett it is hard to recall that just few short months ago he advocated what today he critic izes and that reciprocity agreement with the united stntes was part of the conservative platform in the election last october the program outlined in the speech from the throne touches on most of the vital points that it would seem necessary to inaugurate better conditions and yet it wdl undoubtedly be blockednt everystep reorganization of the bank of canada change to allow the government to have greater authority in the operation of the cnr inquiry in radio broad casting inquiry respecting monopolistic control of importation and distribution of anthracite customs laws relief camps unemployment and relief ques tions united states treaty nnd the british north america act are all points to be dealt with surely among these items on the program offered many of the vital questions of the day can be settled it would seem broad enough and the government has numbers enough to do all these and
