Properties Valued At $ 1,972,499 Changed Hands in 1951 West Durham properties Val- ued at $1,972,499.66 changed hands during 1951 according ta Miss Helen Cryderman, Deputy-, Registrar for the United Count- les of Northumberland and Dur- ham. The total represents an in- crease of $384,436.37 over a simî- lar figure for 1950. On every real estate transac- tion in which the sale price is more than $100, a transfer tax of $2.00 on every $1,000 is collected by the provincial government. In each case, this taK is based on an affidavit certifying the sale price of the property. In 1950, filed Land Transfer Tax affidavits, indicate the price of properties sold in West Dur- ham wvas $1,588,063.29. This fig- ure takes into consideration only those propertiçs on which a lanci transfer tax was paid. Comparable statistics as com- piled by the Registry Division for the West Riding of the Coun- ty of Durham point out that in ail but two instances an increase in business was expericnced. It is interesting to note that the registering of deeds and mort- gages has jumped considerably.

If You Want Io Know What's Ahead Bead This Informative Address On "Agricultural Outlook in 1952 Lack of Sign At Rural Office Irks Hydro Users Friday afternaon a Statesman reader telephoned and greeted aur genial "hello" with a stant- ling question: "Are there any wamen in the office," he asked, sourly. "I'm mad." He was but one of more than 15 People who have calied in ne- cent wceks ta complain about the veil of secrecy which appanentiy' shrouds the Rural Hydro office, recentiy apened in Bowmanville. "They have no signs. No noth- ing," one man compiained. "We can't pay aur bills if we can't find the place." Investigating this senies of coin- plaints we discovened that there IS a sign, but posted in such a place and in such a mainer as ta be of questionabie service. The sign reads: "ýH.E.P.C. of Ontario" and displays a pointing finger and the word "office." lt is posted on the wall at the base of the stairway ieading up ta the ncwr rural Hydro office which is lacat- cd on the second floor of the Specialty Paper Praducts build- ing on Temperance St., known to aIder residents as the Dominion Organ and Piano Ca. factory. In order ta facilitate customers willing ta pay their bills in good time, it would seem a sound idea for the rural Hydro ta erect an identification sign autside the building above or near the door which leads inside ta the stair- ,vay up ta the office. When a man complains because he cannut pay his bill, things are certainly in an undesirable state. Rural Hydra is pureiy a provin- cial arganizatian and is not coni- 'iected with Bowmanvilie Public Jtiiities even though rural Hydro business was tempoarily trans- acted at the B.P.U. office on Kling St. since April. 1951. h Canadian consumers wiIl bene. fit by a sharp reduction in the price of park during the first six months of 1952, but the price af beef wîll pnababiy increase con. siderabiy, according ta Ontario Live Stock Commissioner William P.

He based this statement on the assumption that a g&'eat part of the 1951 grain crop wili be mark- eted this yean, and on the proba- bility that more cattie and hogs will be mnarketed in 1952 than was the case in 1951.
