summers peak the keen demand jor rural electrical services continues and will likely continue for a number of years evid ence of this istound in the fact that at the end of october 1047 there were on hand and in immediate prospect some 31000 rural applica- ants requiring service in lmh to servo part of this group it would be necessary the report states to construct 5300 miles of new primary lines the commissions objective is to serve some 30000 new consumers in 1 048 nnd to con- trtict 3400 miles of new rural lines a splendid program of expansion but some thing like building n new railroad without any rolling stock it appears that ontario has fail ed to provide adequately for this new or the old field with sufficient power all of which pro- es that the cackle came before the egg or the people arc ahead of the leaders iocriioii3iiol recollections ol acton lfo1 leis have the fads we are interested to note recently that the county assessor had made a report to county council on the progress of the county assess ment in halton we vere disappointed however in that the report gave only the number of as sessments under the new system in each muni cipally we would like to know and we feel the gen eral public has a right to know how the new figures are going to apply in each municipality now that assessments have been made under the new plan in all municipalities it should be an easy matter to give examples showing osscs- ment under the old rate and assessment under the new schedule it should be an easy matter to select in each urban municipality three residences three retail establishments and three industrial plants and give the present and the proposed new as sessments in rural townships three typical farm assessments could be given these ex amples should be selected by county council as giving a broad picture of the whole plan and its general effect on the county county council passed the new assessment plan and now have a further responsibility in keeping the public informed on the progress and what it means to the taxpayer responsi bility did not end when the system was decided upon an informed public is generally a fair public but lets have the facts on county assessment figures now that they are ready a marked improvement most folks arc delighted with the gradual improvement being shown in the observance of halloween somewhere in the past ages the custom of destruction came to be associated with the last night in october there was no justification for it or in fact anything associat ed with the night that called for such observ ance but like all bad habits it grew and grad ually became more serious it will take time to eradicate the nonsensial destruction entirely but a fine start has been made in the past few years with the children and young people and halloween is getting a saner and more enjoyable observance as the result of the parties arranged by service clubs its the same old story that if parents and children join in the fun together a very happy time can be had but if the children arc pushed off on their own there is no estimating the trouble that can be concocted on halloween or any other night theres an improvement in the observance of halloween that will grow for the better for both young and old perhaps the changed at titude will spread to other days than october 31st we may some day find more pleasure playing together and less in war destruction if we get the right attitude back in 1898 taken from tlw iwii of th vrwm 1tva t thurndky novmtwr 4 ihoh tin honor roll for october for nitnnuoklmrn school lonrtt
