depart ment of agriculture farm prices for 1938 are ex pected to remsin at about their present levels until die new crops can be appraised in these times of changing prices this information will be steadyiing at least for this important psrt of canadas industry the report says further the rise in farm pro duce prices during 1037 wss greater thsn in sny other important commodity group as a result farm produce wholesale prices compared favorably with those of other groups for the first time in eight years it is probable that a aubstantial part of this recovery in prices will be maintained and that relationships between agricultural and nonagricultural prices will not be seriously disturbed during 1938 big gain in construction last year the current issue of construction trade- shows a gain of 302 per cent in construction work of 1937 over that of 1936 a total of 222 millions was the amount of last year which was a gain of 50 millions over the previous twelve months with four years ounbrease behind it the indus try is now aiming directly at the 1031 level of ac tivity and at the present rate of progress would attain this in 1039 on the evidence if possibility is excluded of major economic upset or a great war the earnings of construction in 1038 aided by projects reviving from depression paralysis should amount to not much under 275 millions should this hope materialize the industry will have returned this year not only a large part of the way toward 1931 volume but as well all of the way toward the ten year average volume for 1018 to 1927 a period characterized in the main by normal national development and business conditions largest percentage of increase took place in quebec where the total for 1037 was 69 millions representing a 23 millions gain or 50 per cent better than in l36 quebecs share is 31 per cent of 1937 dominion activity ontario however in keeping with its record for previous years contributed 436 per cent of the 1937 total for canada the

time preliminary estimates place the 1037 out put at 4054700 fine ounces which when valued at 3499 the average price ior the year of canadian funds amounted to 141877000 a gain of 10500- 000 over 19367 increased production was recorded in all provinces except alberta and yukon territory and near the close of the year canadian mines were producing gold at the rate or 400000 a day the long estab lished mines maintained their outputs and produc tion from the younger properties continued to in crease about fifteen new properties entered pro duction during the yean in addition to the usual expenditures of the producing mines large financial outlays were made in the development and prepara tion for production in 1038 from gold properties in the lake athabaska region in the larder lake dis trict of ontario in the cadillacmalartic area in quebec and in several other areas throughout the dominion tj experience barrie council has under consideration the mat icr of paying members of the council for their services in other centres we note that he same subject is a municipal topic of interest after a period of trial in acton the matter has never receiv ed consideration again since its discontinuance three or four years ago the question always arises that if councillors are paid why not every other branch of citizenship service and this question is usually answered by the fact that no municipality can afford to pay for all these servies on the other hand public spirited citizens can afford to give a share of their time to the interests of their community snd a division of the work is better from a community standpoint than the payment of a few officials the argument is sometimes advanced that payment for services bringsfprth a better type of oflciak in acton such has not been the esse reeves and councillors who havtrsetyed without re muneration havebeen of the highest type and com pare favorably with those who drew an allowance for community service the question has many debat able points both ways but sfter s trial of payment for services in acton the plan was discontinued snd the municipality has gsined not only the amounts but a better cooperative conduct of

they fol lowed the practice which is becoming more general in ontario of charging a nickel for every bottle which goes out of the dairy people would cease being careless with milk bottles or would not
