As indicated in last issue Verulam and Somerville reported favorably on the proposed scheme; Emily, Laxton and Eldon reported against it and deâ€" clined to designate the roads they would like taken over in case the scheme was adopted; the other mun- icipalities sent no report at all. so; that council agreed that no progress could be made at present. School Inspector at Sturgeon Pt. ’ When the committee on Education :was in session Inspector Knight ap- peared to say that although there is noschool at Sturgeon Point yet a case is liable to arise in which it would be awkward not to have an inspector appointed. Having pricked up their cars at this reenarkable proâ€" position councillors listened careful- ly while the venerable educator exâ€" plained as follows :â€" “The statute provides that in the case of a union school section the ment for each party to the union, assessors shall equalize the assess- every three years. In case the asses- sors cannot agree upon the assess- ment of any one part, the inspector of the inspectorate in which the part of the section disputed about is 10- éated, shall «become a third arbitratâ€" WW“, “I-..” or. Now the section in which Stur- geon Foint is located is a union sec- tion comprising part of Verulam, Fenelon and the Point itself, but part of the section is in Inspector Knight’s territory and part in that of Inspector Reazin. Sturgeon Point itseli is also divided that way so that if a. dispute arose over the assessment of Sturgeon Point one in- spector would have as much right to act as arbitrator as the other and if both acted the board would num- ber four and might divide in a. tie the same as two. So the question is: Which inspector must act in case a, dispute arises ? ed right. There has been friction ever since the Point was ineopporat- ed. Likely the easiest way out of the trouble would be to have the corporation annulled but that will likely not be done. So the dimcuity is liable to arise any time and I should like you to get a. decision on the point before trouble does arise." Clerk McNeiIlieâ€"You might at- tach Sturgeon Point to either of the inspectoratei. â€" - . mn j-___5...nn6 “ u-wrâ€"-- , And I understand a. dispute is very possible. The authorities of Sturgeon Point tell me they are pot being us- llluyvvvv- “ VVâ€" . Inspector Knightâ€"The department might not agree to changing the boundaries that way. You may UUuuuw .Vv v--â€"' have the law but the department will interpret it to suit themselves. Mr. Shaverâ€"We have the power to fix boundaries. The matter was referred to the Minister of Education on motion ;of Mr. Staback. The committee on Roads and bridg- es spent an hour and a. half hearing accounts of repairs made to Various bridges. About $1300 was spent on boundaries of Eldon and Fenelon, a fact which moved Clerk McNeillie to remark that if the county rate was a little higher than usual this year. those townships would be able to unâ€"‘ derstand the reason. 1 i The bridge at Fenelon Falls came in for some attention. It had teen lexhibiting an unusual number of de- fects and information several times came in that it was quite a popular practice for people to drive over it without having regard to the signâ€" board overhead forbidding greater speed than a. walk. In his address the Warden confessed to hav- ing sent an officer to have an eye on those people to discover whether or not they really exhibited sucv- haste on the county structure and regard- ed so slightly the placard cf the law. As a result several at them were landed in the police court and fined. Among them were pro‘mmcnt citi- zens. ’One was a medical man of the village who demanded that his con- tiilution of 55 t".- tha county funds be refunded because his hastcv'as‘ ocsasioned by 1'») illness of a PM- i0 .41. 1.31.1 '1 - When the warden was about to refer to these circumstances and Wish- ing to avoid their too extended nar- ration he ventured the opinion that his_ colleagues all understood the circumstances, unless with the pos- sible exception of Dr. Wood, whereat the Kirkfield physician, just back from the untrammelled west, deman- ded to know it the warden regarded (Continued on Page 2). ”IV V‘-“rt 'â€" _ , the Kirkficld physician, from the untrammelled w ded to know if the wairw Bridge Repairs That is the Question Which Will be Vig- orously Tackled by the County Council When council resumed on Friday morning a delegation was present to ask for a. grant of say $300 to de- fray past expenses in the sugar beet investigation and to ascertain how many farmers would grow the beets in case a factory. were started. That delegation was composed of Messrs. Johnston Ellis, W. Channon . F. Payne, Jas. Keith and Thos. Stew- art. They spoke to the following ef- feCt :â€" WILL VICTORIA FARMERS GROW ENOUGH BEETS FOR A FACTORY ? Mr. Ellisâ€"We are here at the re- quest of some leading cictzens of the town and county to ask the council to assist in conducting still further the investigations looking to the esâ€" tablishment of a sugar beet factory in Lindsay. The experiments held have proved very satisfactory and now we must see about getting men to grow the b‘eets. There is no doubt money in them if we can get the industry started. We never had a worse year for roots than this. Yet we compared very well with Peterboro county where the season was more favorable to the light land We also compare well with the en- tire province. Mr. Channonâ€"Thc question now is. "Can we get. the acreage to grow the beets required by a. factory ?” At Wallaceburg, a. site was selected and plans prepared for a building. but it was found the acreage could not, be obtained and the proposed factory had to be dropped. I have no idea. of what acreage- can be got here. Hoe peas were doubted at first; new they are e. staple. It may be the same with beets. This was not a good year for them; the ground was wet in the spring and the ground worked badly. Then the authorities did not notify us about pulling them, and some or us pulled them too early I pulled mine for I was afraid it it would turn cold and I should not get them in at all. I got 6 wagon loads of 40 bushels of! a quarter of an acre. I had at least 28 tons to the acre. It is surprising how they yield. You see they are only 4 in- ches apart. Berlin is going on with a. factbry and ws have' a great deal of land as good as that around Ber- lin. Two years ago there was no facâ€" tory in Michigan; now they are 12 or 15. They had trouble in getting started in Illinois also. They had to go outside the county limit and the capitalists had to rent land on which to grow the beets for their factories. The town and county must work together; for the farmers must grow the beets, and the town must con- sider the demands of capital regard- ing concessions to a factory. To find out how many farmers will grow the bends is the next thing and we ask you to make a grant for that purpose. A A A - _. . ,,,,_A ‘ Mr. Keithâ€"Berlin has secured a factory although the beets grown there tested the lowest of any in the province. But Berlin gave a. bonus of $30,000 and 30 acres of land. If we get a factory here it will be able to draw from Peterboro, Durham and Ontario counties. I sent samples of limestone from Kirkfield, Fenelon Falls and Bobcay- goon, to the experts for analysis. The samples were found suitable for use inna..boet sugar factory. A facâ€" tory uses from 300 to 500 tons a day so that is an important item. Our farmers can grow the beets. One who grew a test plot told me that at the rate his turned out, if they brought $4.50 per ton, he could pay $30 an acre for cultivating and pulling the beets and have $55 an acre left for himself. Mr. Channonâ€"The price of $4.50 standard 12 percent of sugar. For is quoted on beets that show the those testing higher in sugar a pro- portionately higher price will be paid. Ours testing over 16 per cent. should be worth $5 or $5.50. Mr Pfiyneâ€"I grew 211/4 tons to the acre and am satisfied with the re- sults. The cultivation was about Dulw. LALV vu- -w-.---,- the same as I give mangolds. The land was ploughed last fall, cultivâ€" ated a few times :11 the spring, harâ€" rowed a couple of times before the 3 ed was sown and twice befow it came up. I won 141 have to draw the beets sure: 4.1 miles but would be willing to do so: ,__ A LA.-â€" Mr. Stewart-“This is a matter worthy of attention. Last, May this movement was begun at a wellâ€"utâ€" tended meeting of farmers. The beet grown here made such a favorable impression at Toronto fiiat a letter of inquiry about Lindsay as a. site w'as sent to acatizenâ€"Mr. Hockinâ€" by a capitalists promoter. That company has located elsewhere but (Continued on Page 9)! 75c. a Year In Advance: 5% if not so Paid INSPECTOR KNIGHT CALLED BEFORE COUNCIL TO APOLOGIZE Friday morning Inspector Knight wa.. requested to appear before the committee on Education at its afterâ€" noon session and retract a statement he had made about an action of the council last year. Mr. Knight. ap- peared and signed a retraction of his Words and apology for having used them. He Was Required to Retract and Express Regret for His Recent Designation of The remark at which the represen- tatives took offence was made by the Inspector on Friday night at a meeting of the Children’s Aid Society. The proceedings at that meeting were reported in the Waccnman-Warder and the passage in which the inspector’s unguarded words were spoken was as follows : “The question came up as to What shall be done with a boy who continues to run away from a place. Mr. Hughson said he might be sent to Mimico, but having in mind a certain discus- sion that occurred in the munty buildings not long ago, ventured that the county council might kick over paying the expense. the motion." When the committee met Mr. Knight. was present and alter the clerk had read the passage above quoted, the inspector was asked to make a state- ment which he did as follows 2â€"â€" “1 am not very well pleased at the way in which I have been summoned. I might. at least have been asked if the newspaper report was 'correct. I also think that. it I perform my dut- ies as inspector I should be at. lib- erty to act freely as a member of the Children’s Aid Society. I will not deny the accuracy of the newspaper report. The differ- ence between what I said and what it reports me as saying is not Worth quarrelling about. I may have said “Let them kick," and the other ex- pression is about the same as the one I used. One part, however, is left out. Mr. Hughson had said that since Mr. Steers had been police magistrate the town had been free from tramps and should feel obliged to the magistrate for its freedom from them. Then I said the county councillors made fools of themselves by censuring the magistrate’s action with regard to the boys sent to the Industrial School at Mimico. The expression appears strong: but there are different. ways of using that term. If a. man goes to a lot of trouble in a certain course and ac- complishes nothingâ€"I would say of myself that I made a fool of myself in such a case. Or if one pursues a course and changes his mind. he at, least appears to make a. fool of him- self. I have always been in harmony with the county council except on that point about the boys. I have spoken in the highest terms of your House of Refuge. good roads schemes and liberal grant to agriculture. the volunteers and free libraries. But now I differ from you on one point about which 1 have not changed my 1mind but the county council have- .You have departed from your usual ipolicy of liberality and objected to jthe cost of sending the boys where ithey should go. - } Hiserable Town Councils Your policy has usually been a great deal better than that of town or township councils. There is as much difl‘erence between them as be- tween day and night. We are always hampered in the town and township because they are afraid of spending a dollar. In town we have neither roads or light because we have such the county council seemed to turn miserable councils. But in this case right around to a similar policy. IfIamtobegagged becauseIam a servant of the council the sooner I know it the better. But according to your attitude toward Mr. Steers it did not matter if the county should be infested with burglars, thieves,» highwagunen and murderers- Not knowing the energy that is lodged behind the pedal extremi- ties of county legislators, Inspec- tor Knight rashly retorted. “Let them kick," 'and asset'erated that those oflicials made fools of themselves by that resolution condemning P. M. Steers. He would say that although one of his own friends was a. party to I say murderers, because as you like- 1y know the old man who was kil- led in town was killed by a boy who had been let go on suspended sen- tence by Mr. McIntyre. but fur that, the old man might have been living UA‘V '___ yet. But. as soon as Mr. Steers; showed a little more intelligence than his predeceSSor you turned right around to oppose him, If you do (Continued on Page 2):
