The aforementioned R.C. deals with cases where players reside outside the six mile limit. The constitution of the W.F.A rules that a vlayer must register with the nearest) club (ex- cept his case be an unusual one.) On receipt of the papers' by Secretary Brown he forwarded them ito his first aide J. J. Gunn. of Woodstock, Chair- man of the committee. The Big Gunn without waiting to call up his reserve forces commenced .a bombardment and his projectiles were sighted fair on Milverton. causing our crippled for- ces to retreat and abandon all hope of becuring the 'Monkton 'phenomen. This being the third engagement that Gunn from his eminent position his thrown_ consternation into our ranks we hope hereafter to so man- ouevre our forces as to xeep out of range. Such inconsisteni decisions as that of Gunn & Co. are detrimental to the prosperity of the Western A¢rsoc- iation and have a tendency to Iead clubs to look on their constitution as 'a joke.

In order that each ratepayer may realize what effect the carrying of the Honderich & Eydt furniture fac- tory by-law to be voted on on Fridav Will have on the finances of the vil- lage it may be well to analyze the proposition. First. we give a_ site worth $300; second. we loan $8,000 for five years. free of interest, which at 4% per cent. the outside rate of interest for gilt edged securities would amount to $1800. making $2100 in all. The factory is also to be exempt from municipal taxation for a period of ten years which though an advan- tage to Messrs. Honderich & Hydt is no loss to the village as no taxes could be collected if the factory were not in existence. On the other hand the factory will bd subject to school taxes which at last year's rate seven mills on the dollar. on say a ten thou- sand dollar 'assessment would mean a yearly addition of $70 to the vil- lage's revenue or $700 in ten years thus leaving actually only $1400 to be financed by the village. At the pre- sent assessment $340,000 this would) render each $1000 of property liable to $4.11 taxes whic spread over period of ten yeard would amount! to less than 42 cents per year.
