The next item is the installation of systematic methods of doing business. This requires work and expenditure of money. For many years the treasurership and clerkship of the town have been looked upon as 'sidelines,'"' that required but little pay. $150 per year was the salary of the treasurer until four or five years ago. Such pay, with municipal officers in charge who received nothing a year for their services, is not conducive to the establishment of carefully carried out systems. However, Port Perry has never had a man better fitted in"mind and temperment than Mr. Figary to put municipal affairs on a proper working basis. If anyone can do it, he can. True to his promise, Mr. Smallman resigned from the coun- 'cil as soon as Mr. Figary was elected, and Mr. Real resigned with him. For their action we have not the slightest word of blame. Those who condemn the action, would "themselves be most likely to do the same thing if placed in a similar position. These men worked hard for the town; giving their best. They had supported Mr. Rundle, and when he was defeated, they 'considered themselves defeated, When they saw that their service was not desired, they resigned. This clears the way for the next cnapter in the program. On.Monday evening, July 24, there will be another Nom- "ination Meeting, and it will be necessary to secure "three new Councillors to assist tHe new Reeve and Councillor Crosier who decided to remain in office. : Important as was the election just past, it is more import- ant that Mr. Figary should have competent men to support him in the work he has undertaken. - We would suggest, too, that one or more of the younger business men be secured to act as Councillors if possible. It is time some young men were being trained for this work. The municipal program this year is a big one. "First comes the Hydro. There is much financial and con- "structive work to be done in that connection. The town estimates have to be made and the tax rate has to be struck. The voter's list needs thorough revision. Some adequate road policy needs to be formulated, includ- ing a plan to secure the best possible assistance from the d the Province. equate review of the financial condition needs to be made. togéther with proper provision to take care of the de- benture debt; also the matter of the inflated assessment. Something should be done to make the town hall safe and clean A program like this will need good men, Entrance Examinations wing were the successful candidates who wrote at Po Pa "Fitty-one were successful out of the sixty-nine 'who wrote.

G. Hutcheson, Manager "PROSPECT To the people of Prospect, Myrtle and vicinity, who have circulated a "malicious story' about a prominent lady of Pros- pect owing our store five hund- red dollars. I beg leave to state "that there is not, and never was one word of truth in the state- ment."' The 8aid lady has always been one of the best people 1 ever had any dealings with, and I always felt it a pleasure and an honor to haye her custom in the store. I positively deny that there ever was one word of truth in the story, and 1 hope the per- son that started it will be man enough to come forward and apologize. Our country has come to a sad state when such ""'out- rageous falsehoods' can be circu- lated by people who call them- selves Christians, Yours sincerely, JAS. BEACOCK, Gen. Merchant, Myrtle Station. Bell Phone in Uxbridge A deal is on in Uxbridge to have the Independent Telephone Co. take over the Bell Telephone system in Uxbridge. This is part of a widespread 'plan to avoid duplication of phones between the Bell Co. and the Independent Co. Uxbridge people are much opposed to the proposal. The Twelfth at Lindsay "For a change it did not rain enough to spoil the Celebration on the Twelfth of July. A well loaded special train ran from Cobourg to Lindsay and picked up a good crowd at Port Perry. For a couple of hours, too, load after load of autoists came through from the South, with members in full regalia, band playing, and banners flying. About 125 Lodges took part in part in the parade, together with many bands. SE MARRIED At Greenbank Presbyterian Church, on Tuesday, July 18, 1922, Elsie Jean Leask, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. H.
