innumerable such deathtraps all over the country such as the one at limehousc following this accident would it not be the part of wisdom to see that the brush is cut back from all the crossings for this distance it is well that some prevention may be given this crossing but the costly experience on this one crossing should be sufficient to apply preventative means to all others with similar surroundings in this instance it is interesting to note that during april which is prior to tlie beginning of the heavy uuto traffic there were eight deaths in canada from trains and automobiles colliding in that month there were 20 level crossing ticctdcilts and 31 were injured besides those that were jcijled n ontario six automobiles ran into the sides of trains twenty of the accidents happened during daylight hour every crossing requires all the pro tection it is possible to afford for it if the toll is to be lowered and why can the protection not be given every spot without toll being exacted trains being lnuu hand of ha driver ontario outute which requires motor ists to slow down to 10 mllei an hour when approaching a track where uiere la obstruction to uie view confidence in public business tlie question is being asked by citizens of acton where is the- school board business transacted apparently not all of it nt the meetings regular and special of that body the report of the special meet ing tins week following upon the remarks of one of the members at the previous regular meeting is con elusive proof of this the business that passed over the board table was carried out nt the instruction of the board by the secretary the applicant for the position would have hnd no knowledge unless sup plied from other sources of who the chairman of acton school board was he applied in the firt instance to the secretary the letter offering him engagement was sent and signed by the secretary why was the telegram of refusal of cngemerrt ad dressed to the chairman why did one member of tlie board have personal knowledge that mr ward would not accept less than 2500 when his applica tion to the board stated clearly he would accept 2400 what ground have any of the board mem bers to assume that the secretary should not receive the reply when he was instructed to write the ncceptnncc for the bourd these are the questions that will be turned over in the ratepayers

thut splendid weekly paper we noticed in a new york slate paper the othei day a heading stating that a supreme court justice had been the speaker at a local fiumcrs banquet and we were curious to see hit practical subject the eminent judge chose to help the fiumcrs whui he said in part was that in a few yeais the population of new york would be coi i in th i way and land values would rise to a
