TAX RATE GOING UP ..The Counties' levy reciuired of Col-borne for 1921 is made up as follows: County Rate............$2409.45 Public and Separate School . Rate................. 49.70 Debenture and sinking Fund 55.71 Total................$2514. SG This is an increase of $707.78 over 1920, when the levy was $1,807.08, and means an uncontrollable addition of 2 mills on Colborne taxes. Colborne School Board have increased the salaries of teachers By about $1200, so that 2 mills advance nay be looked for in the school levy. There appears to be no lessening permissible in any o? the- departments under corporation control. Where and when is this "goinj, to end ? DEATH OF ALBERT JOHNSON After an illness of only five days, Mr. Albert Johnson died on Thursday, June 23rd, 1921, at the Cobourg Hospital, where he had gone on Tuesday afternoon. His condition way found such that an operation on Wednesday was abandoned, the •geon realizing that 'relief was impossible. The funeral was held from his late residence, King St., West, Colborne, on Saturday afternoon, the services being conducted by the W. A. McKenzie, D.D., assisted by the Rev. R. A. Whattam. After which the interment took i in Lakeport Cemetery. There was a good attendance of friends, to n the announcement of Mr. Johnson's death came as a sad shock, only a few having known of his short illness. The bearers were Messrs. Walter Clarke, Joseph Kirk, D. C. Matthews, ~hos. Martin, Capt. John Shaw and Capt. James Shaw. Anion c those from a distance attending the funeral were Mrs. S. Mcskill and daughter, Miss Maule Mcintosh, of Toronto, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Johnson of Trenton, Mr. and Mrs. John Vandervort of Carrying' e, Mr. and Mrs. Thos.. Martin, and Mrs. A. Macklam, and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. FiddicK, all of Brigh- Deceased, who was 72 years of je, was a former resident of Lake-port. About twenty-three years ago he removed to near Brighton, where he as engaged in farming, until two ;ars ago, when with Mrs. Johnson > came to Colborne to live. Leav-g their only son, Arthur, in charge of the farm. He was a quiet, industrious man, upright end honest, d was highly respected by a large cle of friends and acquaintances. On Saturday morning at about 11 a.m. Mr. V. R. Weese, salesman for the Canadian Oil, Ltd., while driving his Ford touring car, had a very narrow escape, when his car plunged headlong down the steep embankment on the south side of the road at Fenton's Corners, about four miles east of Grafton. On this section of the road construction work is in progress and Mr. Weese met a team hauling some sort of road machinery on a very narrow piece of road, near the bridge. The road, it would appear, was too narrow for the vehicles to pass, and the rear hub of the Ford car (which was going slow) was caught, with the result that the car was thrown down the embankment. Fortunately, however, Mr. Weese, who was the sole occupant of the car was not injured although the car was badly smashed--to the extent of about $200. Mr. Weese says that the road there is very dangerous and the conditions should be drawn to the attention of officials. He had heard that since his accident, another accident had happened there, in which a lady was hurt.--Cobourg World. A woman fell on an icy sidewalk Cobalt atod broke her wrist. S sued the town, claiming negligence, and was last week given $1200 damages by the court. The 'town con tended the walk was regularly sanded and there was no negligence. In Bracebridge Mr. Geo. Hines fell on the icy sidewalk and so injured himself that he was bedfast for a long time. When recovering he again fell through a hole in a sidew.alk and after a considerable time is still able to do any work. His business had to be closed and He Had great ex pense. The town settled with Mr Ilines for $2000 and some are in clinea to doubt the wisdom of making the settlement. If the Hines i had gone to trial and Mr. Hines won is it at all likeiy a judge would give him as little as $2000 for his complete loss of business, probably for all time, and his painful injuries? Mv impression is that the tewn saved at" least $3000 by getting settlement Let «s hope the town also got $2000 worth of knowledge that it is a policy to have dangerous places streets.--Bracebridge Gazette.

One from Mr. Floyd Clarke's was found on the highway the farm of Mr. James Thomas, Wicklow, having been abandoned owing to the breaking of the differential. Friday evening, another car was seen with a broken axle at about the same place; where it remained until Sunday •ning, when someone mentioned fact to Mr. J. J. Sayer. who upon going to his parage near Mr. Clarke's livery, found thaf his Briscoe car was missing, although the lock showed no igns of having been tampered with, nd later found that the above car was ■ is. In connection with taking Mr. Clarke's car Chief Jamieson has two .oung boys on remand for preliminary hearing this week. It is said one of them has admitted taking the car for a ride. We understand this was taken after Mr. Clarke had ned from the midnight train. ;ems xsiher strange that parents should allow as young lads as these to be roaming the streets at such an hour. After 8 o'clock Saturday evening the two hind tires were taken from Mr.. Sayers car while it stood the road. The two young men, Inglis and Puffer, who "jumped" bail a couple of months ago, when allowed out by Magistrate Miller, were rearrested by Chief Jamieson and County Constable J. E. Alyea, last Tuesday ing, at the former's home, near Morganston. They were charged with unlawfully using a motor car belonging to Mr. Clarence Cole of Codrington. They were wrought before Magistrate Miller at Colborne, Wednesday morning, and remanded for one week, In the mean time they are in Cobourg goal.

One Hundred Gallons of Wheat, Prunes and Sugar Brewing On Monday afternoon License Injector Goodrich paid a visit to a farm in Hope township, six miles north west of Port Hope, owned by a named Wallace, and found in a small frame house rented by Wallace two men, a complete still for king moonshine whisky. In company with the inspector were Inland Revenue Officer Grandy and Chief Colwill, of Port Hope, and in the le was found 100 gallons of the r in barrels, which was made from wheat, prunes and sugar. A quantity of rye for future brewings was aiso in the house. With the above mentioned was found a coal oil stove, lamps, pails and tubs. In some straw in a corner of the room used by the moonshiners for sleeping purposes was found the worm. While Grandy and Colwill were away interviewing Wallace, Inspector Goodrich investigated the yard and found some freshly dug earth thrown up against "outhouse. Inside in a deep hole v. as found a complete new 20-gallon copper still, which had evidently been u.-.ed. So new was it that it still c rried the express label, showing t' at it had been shipped from Toronto to Port Hope on May 28th. Two hotkey of the brew were brought back for analysis, while the rest of the 100 gallons was emptied out.
