Question was introduced in County Council as to when tax arrears re- turns should be sent into the office of +~~e--~the County Treasurer by the tax col-- lector and officials of the minor muni- cipalities in the county. Some members. of the Council ex- pressed the opinion, and were support- ed by the County Clerk and solicitor, R, D. Ruddy, that returns should be _made every year to the County Treas- urer., If the taxes were still in ar- rears at the end of three years, they contended, the county Treasurer would then return them back to the treasure of the municipility who would mark on them whether or not these were occupied or unoccupied and return them once more to the county treas- urer who would then sell the property. If the land were vacant, this would not be necessarily be done and sale could be made at the end of three © years. The other school of thought, cham- pioned by Reeve Gifford, Reeve F. T. Rowe, Reeve Wm. Parrott, and other members. of the Council, advocated that tax sales be made: by the local municipalities at: the end of three years, This, they said, would elim- inate the sending back and forth of epistles. They also advocated that tax arrears be not returned until the end of three years, Reeve F. H. Clayton, of Thorah, 401d the Council that his experience ay th the latter method had been most «1 "satisfactory. His township conducted its own tax sales as well, AGRICULTURE REPORT. The sum of $106,000 was paid out 4 in compensation to farmers in Ontario a. County whose herds of cattle were .w diminished due to one-third of them being infected, E. A.

The number of hogs marketed were increased from 36,000 to 53,000 last year... Ontario County ranks second or third in all.the counties, 9,990 were rail graded. The horse situation shows little change, Last year there were 39 stallions being used. Prices were ranging from $100 to $160 now. ; The Ontario County Holstein Breed- ers made a special effort to increase the number of herds in performance, and Ontario County stood second in contests entered. Testing is vastly on the increase, The treatment for Warble fly is be- ing carried on with good effect. "The past year has been unprofit- able to a large number of poultrymen, with the price of feed high, and the price of eggs and' poultry low" said Mr. Innes. Fifty-five applications were made for trees for reforestation, and 16681 trees were distributed. There are now a total of '1,250,000 trees in the county forest, and twelve demonstration wood lots in the county. : There were 7 fall fairs'and 14 rural school fairs held int he county last year,' WOULD REDUCE THE SIZE OF AUDITORS' REPORT The auditing company. for! this year is Firstbrook, Montieth and Company, of Toronto, Mr. Monteith himself pre- senting the report at the session, Reeve Letcher, in his remarks, wondered if the full detailed report could not be omitted from the book of proceedings. : It was moved by Reeve Gifford of East Whitby, and seconded by Reeve Johnston, of Cannington, that the auditor in future be instructed not to itemize all detailed accounts, that is, that no itemized disbursement sheet would be required, and that one auditor's report at the end of the year be presented to council, thug eliminat- ing lengthy sessions over the reports to be presented at mid-year. The motion was carried and was referred to the Finance Committee to be pre- sented in its report to the Council, INSPECTOR SAYS WEEDS IN ON- TARIO COST $18,000,000 YEARLY. . Menibers of the County Council were addressed in their sitting Thurs- day afternoon by the District Weed Inspector, R. D, Henry. In opening his address, Mr. Henry pointed out that weeks cost the Province of On- tario by way of lower yields, poor quality grain, and éxtra work, $18,- 000,000 annually, "Weeds must be annihilated", he declared and pro- ceeded to tell the councillors that only by their co-operation in keeping the sides of the roads free, and preaching it in their townships could this be accomplished, ; 'We advocate the use of the chemi- cals" he said, disclosing that perhaps the best chemical for this sort of thing was Sodium Chloride solution, which could be mixed one and a halt pounds .of sodium chloride to 40 gal- long of water. He also advocated the power spray which is used quite extensively in Eastern Ontario, The solution is not poisonous but is com- bustible, Ea He also told of a new ruling made by the government under which every threshing, machine in the county must be registered this year. A fee of $1. must be paid, unless the machine is owned by a syndicate of farmers. Then exemption can be obtained hy writing the department, Threshing machines should also be cleaned before leaving a farmer's pro- perty. In this way weed seeds are propagated, and if machines are cleaned, the menace will be stopped. "Let every man keep his dirt on his own place", he set down as a com- mandnment. He advised that the ma- chine be allowed to run for about ten minutes after the threshing was done. OVERHEAD, BRIDGE AT DANGEK POINT IS COUNCIL'S AIM, Members of Ontario County Coun- cil in session, passed a resolution that the Railway Commission he requested to meet with the County Road Com- mission and County Engineer at the dangerous crossing in East Whitby Township, where a fatal accident og- curted last week, near Raglan, with a view to' eliminating" the dangerous crossing, : The motion was sponsored by Reeve Lyman Gifford of East Whitby, and seconded. by Reeve R:. C, Reesor, of Pickering, and was given full approval of the council. . Negotiations were started in 1930 to instal 'an overhead bridge at the crossing, which is at the bottom of a winding hill where accidents have oc- curred with loss of life on previous occasions, The project was dropped at the time, as it was not felt that traffic was sufficient to warrant the expenditure, But now that the north .| and south road has been improved, and traffic -increased, it is felt by 'the county councillors that some action should be taken. HIGH PRAISE FOR COUNTY TREASURER High praise was extended Miss E. A. McKay, County Treasurer, by County Auditor Monteith. - Answering a question by Reeve H. J. Featherston of Rama, regarding what degree of efficiency prevailed in the treasury de- partment of the county, Mr, Monteith assured the council that there was no need for apprehension in that direc- tion, He declared that Miss McKay is handling her office in a most business- like and efficient manner. His office, he disclosed, had introduced a change in system in the treasury office which had brought the work there more up- to-date, but entailed no extra labor as far as he could judge. "The books are in excellent condtion, are well kept A VE wy mation", he said... " Something should be done at once about destroying tent caterpillars, or they will do a great amount of damage.

Clarence escaped the more severe injuries of his brother by jump- ing to safety as the train struck the truck. The truck was utterly de- molished, peuntt opin As far as can be the occupants of the truck were aware of the approach of the fast Montreal- Toronto train until it was almost on them, Clarence stated that it was not until the front wheels of the vehicle had touched the tracks that he heard the train's whistle, - = : Clayton, who was driving, applied the brakes but when he saw he could not stop before the truck was on the tracks he attempted to beat the train across. The train struck the rear end of the truck and knocked it down the embankment on the south side of the tracks to the west of the road, When Clarence, who was sitting on the outside, saw that the crash was inevitable he shouted "jump!" and did so "himself. He thought his father also made some move to jump from the truck but is not sure, It is be- lieved that Clayton was tossed through the windshield, Mr. Miller was immediately rushed to 'Oshawa General Hospital and at- tended to by a number of the hospital staff and then by Dr, Baldwin of Brooklin.

JEFFREY, Tearing up the Civilization does not always progress happily --or It is not 80 many years since Port Perry fin- ished paying railway debentures. And now the line is being torn up from Port Perry to Manilla, When the railroad question was brought before the Board of Railway Commissioners to decide as to the abandonment of the Whitby- Lindsay railway, that "body ordered that the line between Whitby and Port which, according to the dictionary, means "to restore to a former status, cap- The railway officials have interpreted the order to mean that the minimum amount of re- pairing be done that MUST be done to enable them to run two freight trains a week over that bit of line. Such an interpretation does not restore the line to its former status and capacity; and the presence of a wrecking crew tearing up the track north of the town is not very reassuring as to the ultimate fate of the line between Port Perry and Whitby. The following telegram has been sent-- Port Perry, Ontario, June 9th, 1937 Board of Rallway Commissioners, Ottawa.

Deputies vs, The Game Last Friday Night Well, the Single Boys finally rallied enough courage to come out and meet the married men last Friday. But the odd part is the married men say the score is not for publication. Bill Carnegie, with keen knowledge of crime, failed to find out just where the single men were putting it over him and his worthy followers. But Bill, (like a Mountie) says "we'll some day get these men." Bill Chapman found it difficult to "I'settle down owing to the hardness of the line drives he failed to get. He kept changing positions so as not to hole was in the ranks of the married men. Sam Griffen, after receiving a foul tip on the jaw, could hardly tel) '| whether Mr. Hayes was giving the married men the allotted number of breaks that was agreed upon. Of course, when the single men's pitcher was up, Mr, Hayes had to watch the plate, so closé that it was impossible for him to catch the mar- ried men when they took a lead off. Charlie Reesor, pitching for the "Dread-Me-Nots" got down to his usual form of grinding out balls with an occassional strike slipping across the plate. The boys will have to take things a little easy and not let people know about this crack ball team or they will find it difficult to Secure'oppon- ents to play with, Just look at this line-up; it would make the bravest man quake.
