construction in our covntry building and construction contracts awarded in canada in 1030 amounted to 50oidqoo the 1030 total was 20i ppr cent less than in 1020 when tho total vqluc of contracts was 570651800 it is pointed out that 1020 was the most active year for building that canada has over known and was 221 per cent higher than the total in 1028 the second highest year for tho value of building ever recorded- the 1030 total is only 34 per cent below that for 1028 of tho amount spent for building and con struction last year engineering works accounted for 300 per cent business establishments 331 per cent residential 204 per cent nnd industrial plants 00 per cent canada is certainly not stagnating in the matter of her building und construction programme cmuulah incrawed cold production gold production from the mines in the province of ontario for the first nine mouths of 1030 had a total value of 26213324 an increase of 1480020 over the production in the corresponding period in 1020 during the nine months under review ore milled aggregated 2828871 tons compared with 3012720 tons for the threequarters of 1020 the latter figures indicate that average ore values for the current year are running somewlmt higher than those of last year cnnndu is the third largest producer of gold in theworhj south africa holds list place nnd the united states second tho prospects are that it may not he long before canada overtakes the united states in production of the precious metal most of the gold produced in canada comes from the mines in northern ontario a section of the province also rich in several other kinds of minerals no time for allow those who upheld the bennett regime with all its promises of a cureall for tho sins loid at the door of the lute kinpj administration are now apparently beginning to worry about tho meeting of these promises we get this alibi from the brampton con servator when the king government went out of office last august it was apparent that canada was headed straight for a deficit in national finances for the current yenr that would approximate 00000000 this meant a reversal of over 100000000 from the 45000000 surplus fcf 102030 no new government nor any power on earth could stem the joint tide of world depression and old government inefficiency in eight mouths there were definite income reduc tions to be expected from the shutting off of liquor exports from tariff changes from income taxes for 103b in fact almost every source of federal revenue was badly hit and depressed foreign trade accomplish ed the rest now at a time when a surplus of funds is most sorely needed for relief and emergency work funds are lowest and this journal goes on to wonder how the situation will be met it was considerable of a puwle at the time it was put forth but we thought mr bennett and his colleagues gave nsurunce that the thing could be done as we said recently its the fulfilment of the promises that is most desired not alibis

four yearn old wlien told that a noua from the cellar was a bur- tflur replied oh but i dont believe in biimuir ita eiuty to sneer many people waste a large amount of reverence on the professional sneerer when they hear some one sneering at the countrys great men sneering at the human race sneering at the ideals men have held sacred they get the idea that a man who has such a poor opinion of everybody and everything must him self be a sort of superman thnt is a big mistake little men can anccr quite as effectively as great men and are much more likely to do so do not waste any reverence on the professional sneerer in stead of being 11 superman he is generally n poor specimen instead of being profound he is super ficial instead of being dourngeaus he is n mercen ary seeker for the shekels for he has capitalized impudence and found it profitable when death says to him thats enough and the pen drops from his hand the great things at which be sneered will be found unchanged unharmed the only injury he caused it will appear was to the souls of those silly enough to listen to him the recent trouble that milton has been experienc ing over its last municipal election should prove nsa warning to other municipalities which might easily be caught in the same predicament the election regulations are matters not to be trifled with if the municipalities would save themselves a certain ex pense and trouble in any election where the contest is keen uud an issue is at stake a small technicality may be discovered and change the whole election and bring on the issue again in most clectibns these items would not be hurd to secure too often the regulations provided are not strictly observed very often the candidate ore not thoroughly nware of th6 stipulations set forth for their compliance in tho excitement of the contest rules that seem mere formalities are forgotten and not observed by people who know full well that they arc part of the election code milton is no different from many other mini icipalities in this respect we would judge they aro in the midst of a rather unpleasant experience and we believe that if every municipality would take a lesson from this experience and endeavor to ncquainl themselves with tho requirements of the law and see that thoy are observed they could avoid an occur- rence of such an annoyance the election laws have undergone many changes in tho past few years a cortslltltuyorthesctsssary to keeptfuliy informed an effort also to make the changes fewer on tho par t of the provincial government wo keah m toward eliminating a iot of tho confusion i ttdltottlal notes so far we have refrained from a hockey editorial but judging from the developments of the past week the subject matter is still capable of being written about the fears of those who thought wc might not have a real canadian winter are beginning to be allayed now since the first real snow storms of the season this is thrift week and the truest thrift is judicious spending or investment study your needs and practise the truest economy this week and every other week whoever it was that said that the winter months were dull must have made the

about some startling disclosures and milton will have trrhnvc a complete new election in orillia the press reporters were debarred from part of the proceedings of the council meeting this is a condition that is not conducive to the best interests of the community as u whole and shows a decided weakness on the part of the ruling body the cobourg sentinelstar last week mnrked the completion
