avorable but itoom for improvement in view ofa the topic that seem such a live one in many municipalities regarding the collection of taxes wc examined the list of acton s arrears as presented to council at mil session this week the filial penalty for oil year went on at may i and at this date the amounts outstanding were 1602 foi 1025 for 1020 73 67 for 1027 115 30 and for 1028 1625 49 the ideal condition would of course be to have no amounts outstanding at all but it would appear that such a condition is seldom realized jn any municipality taking a comparative view with other municipalities similar in size acton is in a very favorable position the position taken by the council of publishing all tax details in the auditors report and tin rigid enforcement of the penalties imposed hvc brought about this circumstance the constant oversight oy the council and the alertness of their officers arc too in no small measure respon siblc for the correct accounting of the municipal finances the same endeavor is apparently applied to collecting tlil corporation s funds as would be used in private business and it would appear that these methods arc proving very satisfactory the payment of taxes is undodgable the amounts out standing in acion that go back three years are for business or dog tax where the parties cannot at present be located the delaying of the payment of the property taxes is the using of municipal money at a rather high rate of interest when it is considered that two penalties of fivaper cent are added for non payment the taxes on properties arc shown to be settled in nlarly every case before the three year period has elapsed and tax sales in acton are a rarity the first one in many years was held in acton last year on a vacant lot where ownership was in dispute how they view the question a few weeks ago there was a conference to con sidcr the nefarious rum running between canada and the united states the leaders of that country and iliany of the newspapers have been smco studying the question as to wliat reaction there has been as a result of this conference the conclusion arrived at by many is that while no practical accomplishment con as yet be recorded with regard to the ant l smuggling treat between cunad i and the united states the meeting really meant further mutual ex i resmons of friendship and goodwill one leading paper snys what the representatives of american people meeting in ottawa asked was hat canada refuse to give legal countenance to an illegal trade can it be said hat the- request was so very un reasonable pcihaps it might help if for a moment the narrow ilj al usnect of the question be foi gotten and the issue- faced as a matter of public policy and rational i ood one paper viewing it as a purely canadian p oblejn for a tune and not as a matter olely huviii to do with united state prohibition cinnot see how aiiada ean refuse to take step complicated houj h they may be for canadawhich other countries including great britain have already taken and decline to be done with un unsavory and u dangerous business ii milium and norway can refuse to give clearances there is no technical prin ciple in the way of ganudu doing the same the boundary line may make a difference in applying the same rule certainly the clearances convey the im prcssion that cdiiad i is u willing partner in defeating tilt amis of the volstead law this is wrong of course but it exists in the light of this contention shall citudit adopt a lower standard of international morulity than the mother country j uc sincerely hope not ft will pay canada in reputation in friend ly feeling and eo operation m suf satisfaction to go as far at least us the mother country in the treatment of this exed hut very important question cnngrntnlntiomi o all plendul place the pupils o acton sahoo-js- uon in iiil musical le tival of llalton county on this their llrst attempt certainly rcllccted much credit on the ability and talent of the town and the capabil itics and pit in takinf efforts of the directress of music in acton school mrs m it moore 1 he opportunity that i now afforded the school boys and j iris to develop tfleir musical ability along with other ichool itudies can rcult in only one thing n greater galaxy of musical talent in the community and an increased interest in the musical training of the boy and girls and older people too thc spirit of the musical festival or competition is something olso that will make for good while acton as a school was fortunate this year in winning the largest number of prizes and arc naturally very much elated still the spirit shown by those who lost in the competitions cannot but be commended to those who won con gratulations to those who lost wc

township last year is being atleiiptcd the north end of the township of trafal a feels that the lake shorl property is not being assessed high enough there is a movement to raise the assessment of the township 550 000 the amount of the increase in nuson township last year was 110000 and the authorities of trafalgar who favor the equalization have consulted nelson township regarding the matter a meeting was held in milton to consider this and no doubt before it is settled there will be eoiisideruble comment and now it would appear when trafalgar has equalized and exhausted the shifting around on the county it has to set about bouse cleaning within its own borders the north end of the county has usually felt that the laltl shore properties have never been assessed high enough wc were under the impression that trafal gar in the county equalization contended that it was high enough now it would appear that when nothing more can he secured from other sections of the county the township is dividing into factions and when it has been lquahzcd up and down and a cross section equalization taken the roots of the affair will have been pretty well bored editorial notes with iood roads and
