statistics it is issued by the bureau of municipal affairs under hon feric cross the com pilation for 1036 has just reached the free press desk and it is even more prized than its predeces sors which seemed to contain all the information that could be desired it contains less than one hun dred patges but everyjpage is filled with information cities towns villages and townships are grouped according to population por instance group a of villages are suburban and directly adjoining a city there are three group b villages that have popula tions of over 2000 in the group c are village of frarn 750 to 2000 and it is interesting to note that acton is the latest in this group with an assessed population of 1033 incidentally actons population is larger than that of 33 municipalities that are listed as towns as an example of the information obtainable from the books we will give the figures quoted for acton assessed population 1903 acreage 304 persons per acre 5 1 land assessment

current deficit of 1 396 was shown figures similar to these are obtainable in this book concerning every municipality in the provinc- of ontario they are the figures for 1036 in com panson with the figures of other centres those for acton compare most favorably it will readily bf seen why this book is valued each ear ns a reference volume another direct hit we dont for a minute suppose that it will make any difference if our voice is raised in the storm of objection against the increased radio fees but it will at least give an opportunity for getting rid of the pent up feelings which the announcement stirred up the radio commission has always had the last word anyway and usually collected all it desired incidentally we favored the forming of the com mission but we certainly had no idea it would become such an expensive government taxing unit the fee of one dollar was plenty for a radio license and at 2 50 the figure is ridiculous in our dual capacity of editor and justice of the peace wc have seen many brought into court and fined for not having secured the prescribed license and in man instances it was a stiame to take the money it is likewise a shame to charge these individuals 2 50 per year tor a lcense on the one hand we see arnved last week of the month governments handing out doles in the form of relief and collecting fees that are forcing more and more people to let go that last thread of independence and accept relief the picture is not a pleasant one or bringing a solution any nearer we have no quarrel with the tax on each addi tional receiving set anyone who can afford more than one set can easily afford the extra fee but we do object to the radio or any other increased taxation that hits directly at pocketbooks that are already strained

faith and earnestness would not be stopped from getting into his very presence it required four men to set the one man to christ but it is worth the most persistent effort of four to bring one to christ and it often re quires it they brought tne man to jesus because there was no one else who could help and they were confident he could and would it took much persis tence and scheming and toll to get the man to jesus but they never gave up until he was at jesus feet less earn est men would have waited for a more favorable opportunity but they had no guarantee that there would ever be any opportunity again jesus could be reach ed now i provided they were earnest enough to overcome the difficulties and they wert nothing will make men so lament lu surmounting the difficulties lying between them and jesus as a scnt of their utter need of him and faith thai he can and will help it was necessary to crcau u disturb ance and to violate the conventionalities to get the man to jesus

a pleasure vehicle the reason for this rather sur prising definition is that the purpose of the bylaw was to restrict the traffle on certain residential streets and to forbid heavy vehicles to use them it was then found that the lawmakers had forgot ten that deaths would occur rather than amend the bxrlaw which reserved the streets for pleasure vehicles the city fathers chose to widen the definition in the course of the inquiry into on tarios highway transportation now pro ceeding before mr justice ohevrler it has been alleged in on brief that on tarios highways were built primarily for the usboljilcaaure vehicles the makers of this statement while using it as the basis of an argument that commercial vehicles should pay the lions share of highway maintenance and construction carefully avoid the definition or their terms in common speooh the- terms pleasure vehicle and passenger automobile are in terchangeable but if an attempt were made to establish a difference between pleasure and commercial vehicles for purposes of taxation ontario s legisla tors would quickly nnd themselves en compassed with some difficult problems for example when a man drives his car to his office in the morning it probably is a commercial vehicle it certainly is commercial when he drives it to sell an order to a customer if he then drives to the golf course the same car becomes a pleasure vehicle if a farmer drives his family to town to see a movie and on the same trip takes a few bags of potatoes in the back seat to sell to a grocer is hla car a pleasure or a commercial vehicle if his wife drives to town on a shopping expedition how is the trip to be classified there were vehicles and roads in on tarlo long before there were either rail ways or automotive vehicles in
