AMD RESOLVED that this Orono 'Chamber of Cfcanmerce, having in minv! that the railway problem in Canada is one of the more serious problems confronting the people and Government of Canada, partially from the fact that the railways have for years by means of the pernicious sys- tem of passes been giving away a large part of the services1 which they should be selling, a. situation which is unfortunately working into bus transportation and considering that .even an Honourable Member of Par- liament with a pass in his pocket .from some transportation company .must find it harder to exercise his unbiased judgment in connection with any proposed legislation affect- ing that transportation company than if be did not have that pass in his pocket; and further, having in mind that both in Great Britan and in the United States of America the indis- criminate distribution of passes is made illegal by statute, therefore humbly memorialize tihe Right Hon- ourable the Premier of Canada and hie Government to introduce and pass legislation which will make it illegal for any transportation company to issue passes to anyone except their own. employees on company business and further make it illegal for any- one to have an illegal pass in his possession; and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Right Honourable the Premier of Canada and to W. F. Rickard, M.P. This petition was seconded by Mr. C. T. Miller and passed:. Mr. Miller said there were too miamy passes issued, that all the mem- bers of parliament received one and moist likely their wives and families. He told, that in- the United States the rate was 2 cents per mile straight, while in Canada it was 3 cents, and if there were no passes issued free, like it was in the States, Canada would be able to reduce the rates to 2c. per mile. Mr. 0. H. Frosita thought that there should be a place in Orono for issuing licenses1 for cars instead of Past Masters night was held at. the local Masonic Lodge, Mo. 325, A.F. & A.M., Orono, on Thursday evening of last week with a good1 number of tin, Brethren in attendance.

This is a great incon- venience to some people who cannot run their cars now to get them, and so have to depend on other people to se- cure them. It was moved by G. H. Froste, seconded by J. E. Armstrong, that Messrs. W. E.. Armstrong and C. T. Miller be appointed to interview the local member, Mr. Oecil Mercer, and try to have car licenses issued in Orono, as there were only two places issuing licenses now in Durham County. Mr. W. J.

HAPPENINGS IN THE SUNNY SOUTH For several weeks it has been ru- mored around town that our friend Torn Cowan has been painting his Florida house on Sundays, On his way home Charley Miller called on Mr, and Mrs. Cowan and Charley says that Tom denied this false and scandalous report very vehemently, however be did admit signing a pe- tition to have the town let the people play shufllehoiml on iSunday even- ings. While Charley Miller was telling this Charley Awde stepped up to the (penitent bench and admitted that he wenlt all alone to the horse races -at Du fieri n in Toronto last summer, but claimed that he didn’t bet any money although it cost him $1.10 to get in. Last winter alt one of those little nei-glbboihiood parties some of the men were playing .five cent showdown â- poker. While the game was going on- one lady that was brought up in that, good; old st rich methodist atmosphere, borrowed her husband's glasses s-o she could see wihiaf kind of a band the Present Snowplows Are In- adequate to Clear Roads Satisfactorily Numerous complaints have been heard throughout the Chunky about the opening up of county roads by the snow plow, and the following let- ter was received by Mr. F. J. Hall, dated January 26th, from Mr. A. S. Miller, Counties’ Elngineer and Road Superintendent, concerning this mat- ter. We print the following letter in full, which shows just what the Counties are dong in the matter : “Owing to the fact that our snow clearing equipment was unsatisfac- tory and inadequate, the 'Counties' Council ordered it off the County roads and we are not going to keep them open for motor traffic the bal- ance of the winter, excepting a num- ber of pieces of pavement that the Department of Highways plowed two years ago and will do again this year. The Counties will not pay for any men or teams used to clear any roads for motor traffic. If -a road becomes blocked ’any plaice where teams and sleighs cannot get through on the road allowance or in fields, then a road must be broken for such traf- fic. This will provide a passage for a doctor, a funeral or the mail car- rier by sleigh, and that is all we are obliged to do. I believe, this was all that was ever done up to the time we ’purchased the plows and will have to continue, until we get equipment that, will do a .sakiafaidbory job. Roads being plowed by the Depart- ment of Highways are : Trenton- to Wooler, No. 30 Highway to Wark- worth, Otibourg to Coldsprings, Wel- come -to Canton, No. 26 Highway to MiBbrook, Newcastle to Orono, and Bowmanville to Blackstoek. If any of these roads ,are on your section and if the highway plow gets stuck and has to be dug unit you are to give him the necessary assistance and send1 in your time,”, ---------â€"o----------- A strict check-up is now being made on auto license markers. winner had to have to take in the money.
