Customs returns for Oshawa for March 1927 were $1,061,677.06; and for fiscal year ending March 31st, 1927, are $8,926,785.84. A record month and a reord year. The Port ot Oshawa has become among the busiest in Canada and ranks among the first There is something about the Clerkship of the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham which plaes the office in a class by itself. It has been filled by members of the MacNachtan family for the last sixty-five years. The present Clerk and Treasurer, Col. Neil F. MacNachtan, C.V.O., succeeded his father in 1891, while the father was appointed in A bill to create a divorce court for Ontario, passed the Canadian Senate. Senator Willoughby, who. sponsored the bill and who is chairman of the divorce committee, said that so far this year, there were. 226 applications for divorce and of these it would be impossible to dispose of about 50. Applications for divorce had become so numerous that the Senate was unable to dispose of them and this caused a great deal of hardship among the applicants. In 1910, bill for the creation of a bill for the divorce court was carried in the Senate but rejected in the Commons, but at that time necessity for such court was not so great as now. Every province in Canada had divorce court but Ontario and Quebec. The passed the senate on division. GRANTS ON ATTENDANCE In the opinion of several residents of the county, Premier Ferguson's proposal to amend the basis tor Gov ernment grants to public schools to one of attendance of the pupils, will throw a considerable increase of taxes on the residents of many of the school sections of the county. It Is pointed out that many schools have a limited number of students attending, and the grant from the Government in those cases would be very small. It often occurs that the children attending these schools are forced to do so because of the distance to the next school. With attendance adopted as one of the basic means of apportionment of Government grants, the school section would be taxed with the difference between the present grant and decreased grant based on attendance. In schools having a large attendani it is not expected there will any great difference in the size of the grant. Proposals for compulsory licensi of hawkers, peddlers and transient traders in Ontario municipalities were given their third annual year's "hoist" by the municipal law committee of the Legislature on Wednesday. A bill sponsored by F. W. Smye, West Hamilton, contained a new scale of fees. Opponents of the measure stressed principally the hardships said to be involved upon certain interests with large investments. Hon. Dr. Carr, East Hamilton, took the consumer's side, pointing out that they were the people who needed protection, rather than the retail merchant. A feature of the proposed legislation that impressed the committee was that it left the large mail 'order houses untouched. The committee was sufficiently sympathetic, however, to recommend appointment of a select committee of the House to investigate the entii problem which transient traders re SIDEWALKS There is an agitation in various parts of Ontario to make provision for pedestrians on the highways. Sidewalks are proposed or, at least, footpaths. Of course, pedestrians .are few, but in some parts of the Province, we have seen school children trying to make their way along the edges of the highway with the automobiles coming up behind them at an average rate of six or seven per minute. It is a dangerous process. One remembers walking about a mile on Sunday morning and taking the trouble to count the one hundred and twenty-five motor cars that whizzed by during the short period of time involved. It is a nerve racking experience. Pedestrians, though almost an extinct race, are still entitled to protection and to an opportunity to walk they must walk or prefer to walk, en footnaths would be of immense •vice. The Department of Highwavs has the matter under consideration will, no doubt, provide either foot paths or sidewalks. SAYS FINLAYSON "Every municipal officer in the country is under paid," was the dictum of Hon. Mr. Finlayson, when the Municipal Committee of the Legislature considered an amendment to the Municipal Acet by which every qualified person elected to any municipal office must take the oath of offii within 20 days after election and, in default, shall be deemed to have : signed. Hitherto, a defaulter was si ect to a fine. The Act was amended so that county judge now has the right to investigate the affairs of any business conducted by an elected commission or by a commission appointed by municipal. council. Hon. H. C. Nixon said he would next year sponsor an .amendment extending the municipal franchise to farmers' daughters. E. C. Graves (St. Catharines), said he would next session introduce a bill providing that candidates for municipal office must have property qualification. He thought Labor men, now they were owning property of their own, would rather see substantial men elected. Baseball appears to be dead in Port Hope. Only four fans attended a meeting called last Friday night to ascertain whether a Port Hope team would enter the Lake Shore League, to comprise Oshawa Motors, Peterboro Goodyear's and Port Hope. Last season they had a successful team in he D. & O. League and went into the semi-finals to be beaten by the fast Delora team. the hog market.

This will n creasing demand for Canadian hogs grown on wheat, oats, barley and clover or alfalfa. the hog Hereafter all cheesemakers in On tario will be required to have a certificate of qualification based upon their ability *o make good cheese before they can assume control of factories. Such is one of the stipulations laid down in the new regulations just passed in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. Abe Robinson who was acquitted a few weeks ago on a charge of murdering Constable St. Charles at Eldorado, and who was placed under surveillance as to his sanity,-was adjudged not insane when he appeared in Police Court at Belleville hist week. If the "bright lights" attract young people to the towns and cities, why not light up the country with Hydro? The 20 per cent, rebate, recently announced, will help a little, but the moon is by far the cheaper so yet. For the year ending Jan. 1st, 1927, Mr. George Goodrich, License Inspect-S*. seized $1,200 worth of liquor, which was sent to dispensaries, and fines in connection with his regime for this same period, amounted to $7,380.
