Grange last evening, came the resignation yesterday of Assist- ant Chief H. Johnston. Lack of ef- ficiency on the part of the fire de- partment was the reason the council had for demanding a change of man- agement. Assistant Chief Johnston sald he was uhable to enforce the ne- cessary discipline. The local fire de- partment is enjoying all the thrills of a spring housecleaning and it is stated that the ends of efficiency will not be served until there are a few more changes in the personnel.

In the new building there will be accommodation for the manufac- ture of both butter and cheese on a commercial scale so as to demon- strate the value of the most up-to- date methods in both lines of manu- facture. There will also be facilities for co- operating with the men engaged in the-vindustry in Eastern Ontario in studying defects which may develop from time to time and interfere with the highest possible quality in the product. The course at the school, as in the past, will be for those éngdged in the- commercial branches of the industry and an effort will be made to make these courses as valuable and attrac- tive as possible.

The public accounts tabled in the legislature are the greatest condem- | nation possible that could fall upon | the weakest and most extravagant government the province has ever suffered under, Whilé the general get-up of the! report is to be commended for its in- creased clarity over former years, and for its general conciseness (al- though conciseness is comparative only, in a volume. of | nevertheless, the matter set forth re- | veals that the credit of the province is seriously ' menaced and that the Farmer Government of Ontario is heading rapidly along the same rBute as the Farber governments of Kansas and N. Dakota--two states of the American Republic that after féw years of farmer administration fell into bankruptcy from which it will take many years to recover, if recovery by pormal methods can ever be accomplished. In spife of a grand total of expen- diture for the fleca] year of almost $120,000,000, the province has a total lability of almost three times that much, the figure being $241,- 842,159.20, of which $204,959,- 690.24 are direct liabilities.
