CO. : HENRY. the Admmistrator. $1.40 nes 'RENCE this 26th day of who died on 1929 The action of Southampton in sup- porting the bylaw is to be commend- ed and will no doubt have a good ef- fect on the municipalities who are yet to vote on the question. Personal- ly. The Chronicle thinks Southampton has taken the only sane course, and while the workings of the Hydro may not always. be clear to them, as it is a most intricate system of accounting, we have yet to find one instance in which the system has failed to cecal fairly with any municipality. Like everything human, the Ontario Hydro has its ball-ups, and occasionally some of its lesser officials develop bram- storms. but the big thing is that it has since its inception given its pat- rons hydro at cost and hydro munici- palities certamly have a distinct ad- vantage over those with privately- owned systems, which of necessity are operated for a profit._ UVVLAVO'V- ___V can change 'su'flici'ent votes in Their threatened coming protest,‘ there may yet be a fight over the result. ‘ The whole . campaign has been one of hard feelmg If e 15 to believe the daily press .re , and in one instance a promment churcn member of the town had threatened to with- draw his support from the church it the pastor. who was a Hydro advocate, was granted the privilege cr voting on the church property. The church of- ficials, not to be blufl'ed, had the min- ister‘s name placed on the list, but a later report states that the minister rather than cause any Iriction had decided not to cast his ballot. Whether or not this action can come under the “tampering with voters” section of the Municipal Act may yet be decided by the courts. zens not to pay too much attention to that portion of the Ontario press that professes to know that the Ontario private interests are more interested in the municipalities than they are themselves. Hydro in Ontario is merely a banding together of Ontario municipalities for cheap power and they should be able to look after themselves without any outside advice. The private interests had the ground to themselves for a long time and did not lie awake 0’ nights thinking up schemes on how to save their pat- rons money. The advent of the Hydro naturally has stirred them up until now they would like to regain the ground they have lost. . Our advice to Ontario municipalities is to stick to the Hydro. It is ours. and if it is not being run r1g_ht we _ “Wé * oongratuiate Southampton on its good sense and woulg a§1_~: @5231th can find a way to correct it.

T. S. CLASS HAD EXCELLENT PLAY Queen Street Society Presented Play “Cranberry Corners” in Town Hall Last Friday Night. One of the most pleasant surprises for Durham playgoers took place 1n the Town Hall last Friday night when the A. O. T. S. Class of the Queen street church made their debut as budding Johnston Forbes-Robertsons and Ellen Terrys in that delightful little comedy drama in your acts, “Cranberry Comers”. When the last curtain fell it was a delighted audience that wended its way homeward, an audience that filled the hall to capac- ity and was most generous in its praise of the play and the players. And in the theatre as in anything -â€"--' else, that is all that countsâ€"satisfac- tion to your patrons. “Cranberry Corners” is called a comedy-drama. It could just as easily be named a comedy, or even a drama. There is the usual story running through the production which contin- ues from the first curtain to the grand finale, keeps the audience in close touch with the continuity of the play at all times. and at the same time is bubbling over with the humor that the title would suggest. “Cranberry Corners” might be said to be a play without a “star”, as the failure of any one of the characters would detract from the whole in a RETIRES AFTER LONG SERVICE Lieut. -Col.

It was found that a fuse had been1 blown and the lights were off for the better part of an hour while the trouble was hunted and the fuse re- placed. The street lights escaped this trouble although the whole system was killed while the fuse was being replaced. A telephone pole snapped at the top of the hill and this put Upper Town in darkness until the next day when repairs were made- An All Night Blow The storm reached its height be- tween 2 and four o’clock in the mom- ing, when it was impossible to see more than a few feet.

Increase in Income Tax Collections Attributed to Liberal Use of News- paper Advertising.â€"- Weekly Papers Used This Year. Once again, Hon. W. D. Euler, Min- ister of National Revenue, is using ad- vertising to assist taxpayers in com- plying with the requirements of the Dominion Income Tax Act. In this issue an advertisement ap- pears reminding the public of the law which stipulates that certain informa- tion must be in the ofiices of the In- come Tax Inspectors by March 31 next. This information is required from employers, corporations, and trustees or persons acting in a fiduci- ary capacity. It applies to year end- ing December 31, 1928. For instance, employers have to file} a return giving the amounts paid each} person in salaries, bonuses, commis- sions, and fees where the amount was $1,000 or more, or where the salary or wages was at a rate of $1,500 or more. Corporations have to file the names of those who were paid dividends, whether in cash or stock, and the amount of each. Persons acting in a fiduciary capacity, such as assignees, executors, administrators, receivers, trustees are, required to me details of the trust they represent, together with the names of and amounts paid to beneficiaries. Those mentioned in the act as hav- ing to produce this information are asked to secure the proper icrms from the nearest Income Tax office, fill in their forms according to in- structions, and mail them to .the In- come Tax Inspectors at these offices before March 31. These forms are known as T3 for persons acting in a fiduciary capacity; T4 for employers and T5 for corporations. Each form contains complete instructions about what the law requires. These are in- formation forms only, and no cheques are sent with them. Officials of the Department fully appreciate the trouble required in making out these forms, but are doing everything in their power to facilitate matters by reminding the public in plenty of time respecting the demands of the law. , The total collections under the In- come Tax Act for last year are some millions of dollars ahead of the year before in spite of a ten per cent re- duction in the tax. Mr. Euler attri- buted this increased collection to three thingszw‘ i. More efiicient methods of collection; 2. The increased prosperity of the country; 3.

' _The replay of thetie game in the Senior N. H. L. district between Walk- erton and Durham was played on soft ice on Monday night after being post- poned once Or twice as seems to be the usual custom of all N. H. L. games. As may be expected the game was productive of very little real hocx- eyas thepucl; was_very h‘ardtocan'y ey asth ”exp was very hard to carry and combination play was almost im- possible. At times both teams resorted to liftingthe therubber to the far eno Walkerton Sextette. . Beat Durham 3-1 of the rink and the game seemed‘ (siomfwhat like a long range artillery ue - Both teams gave all they had. At the close of \the game there was very little to choose betwwn the two sex- tettes both being meticauy exhaust- ed, in fact one player being heard to remark that it was the hardest work he had done since Hector was a pup. Although Walkerton was on the long end of the score, it could hardly be said that they had me better or the pin as the _fig_ht scorned to wage“ eq_u- alTy up and down the length of the ice. The first period was practically all Walkerton, as they swept the locals to their own end of the rink, and playing a fourâ€"man forward line, kept them bottled up behind their blue line , _for the major part_ of_ the period. In the second stanza Durham revers- ed this and playing the same tactics swept Walkerton in on their own nets, and the third, perioa was anyooay's; both teams playing the whoze five men right up the ice and leaving the goal tenders to look out for themselves. The goals came two for Walkerton 1n the second, and one for each in the third. Raybould‘ scored two for Walkerton and Calquhoun one, and Clements scored Durham’s lone counter when on a lone rush he worked rzgnt through the Walkertonians and beat Oberle from close in. It would be hard to pick out any particular star, but if anybody shone. the two goalies did, both making saves time and again when the shots seemed to have sure goals labelled on them. McDonald turned in the best game of the season, once going out to beat Walker, who was coming in on him with nobody near. The shots that beat him would beat the best or them. Referee McCarthy handled a game that threatened to become rough at times, to perfection, and handed out! 12 penalties, two in the first, four in] the second, and six in the third period; . six to Durham and the same to Walk-= erton. At the time of writing it is doubt- ful how this N. H. L. district will turn out, as under the original schedule agreement this ties the standing up, necessitating a play ofl. As Durham ,won the opener in Walkerton, the sec- lond game was a tie, and Walkerton won the third. As the season is rather far advanced, it is doubtml if there will be ice to finish the play downs.
