Gait‘s Protest To Galt it will mean approximateâ€" ly one mill a year for 40 years of the tax rate," Mr. Serviss said. "If Galt is expected to pay a~ total $80,000 the city just can‘t stand it. It is inâ€" conmsistent on our part to ask the .Government to help out the lot of property owners, then ask for a proâ€" jeet that will cost us a mill for 40 years. Now is the time to go back and see if we can‘t get a 2% per cent. from the people responsible for the condition of the river.

TORONTO.â€"Gates of the 60th anâ€" rual Canadian National Exhibitionâ€" the nation‘s iremesl pageantâ€"were thrown open here today in what offiâ€" cials hope will be the greatest fair of them all. Lord Stanley, secretary of state for the dominions performed a double duty on Founders‘ Day, de claring the new United Kingdom Paâ€" vilion open and‘officially starting the Diamond Jubilee Exhibition. The visit of the British statesman has a personal touch, for just 50 years ago his grandfather, Lord Stanley of Preston, then governorâ€" general, opened the exhibition. Beâ€" for leaving Engand he described the fair as "a meeting place for people from all parts of the empire." ‘Theme of the United Kingdom Paâ€" villonâ€"@ctually _ the reconstructed British _ Government â€" building â€" is "communications and transport". A central display will be a huge map of the world, with miniature ships sailâ€" ing on water. and air lines in Numâ€" inated tubing. Another part of the pavilion will house a display of moâ€" dels of ancient and modetn methods of transportation, from the ancient British Coracle to the giant liner Queen Mary. Hopes for a ‘recordâ€"breaking exhiâ€" bition were blasted last year by an infantile paralysis epidemic in Onâ€" tario, which cut attendance by an estimated oneâ€"third. Granted fine weather officials claim this year‘s fair will go "over the top" approachâ€" ing even the records of a decade ago, when prosperity and the famous maâ€" rathon swims drew more than 2,000,â€" 600 persons through the turnstiles. Record exhibite of livestock are asâ€" sured, according to Sam Foster, manâ€" ager of the agricultural section. Canâ€" adian farmers, with an early harvest and good crops, have dispatched the cream of their stock to the fair of sharing the $100,000 in prizes to be awarded by 100 judges. The "Jitterbugs"â€"jazz onthusiasts â€"and music,lovers, too, will have plenty of entertainment. Four of America‘s leading dance bands will awing for the dancers, with Benny Goodman leading off in the new dance pavilion on Friday. Buddy Roâ€" zers and his Hollywood Band, Guy Lombardo‘s Royal Canadians and Tommy Dorsey will continue the seeâ€" sions.

Of Employment The brief with the petition, drawn vp by ‘Saiter Hayden, Toronto, has been forwarded to the |Canadian Naâ€" t.onal Railways and the Canadian Tacific Railway and when their re plies are received, the board will open @ hearing. It is alleged by the Ontario petiâ€" tioners that export rail freight rates to Mntreal from Ontario ports disâ€" criminate in favor of Westeru Canâ€" ada.

Particular complaint is made on rites from Georgian .Bay ports, where there are many large elevaâ€" tors.
