Hut we think this sort of kicking at thi 1 Hydro will not tfet anybody any 1 where, and the old company cat never expect Hydro to make ifo I their losses at Kuyenia, ;i great deal of which was caused by unwise development, such as putting 'u useless tunnel through the moun- tain at acostof thousanclsof dollars. This tunnel could not I e used by Hydro and Mr. Hotf{, r can scarcely expect remuneration therefore. Not >>o unreasonable was the charge that Hydro had spent $11,- 000 in the recent radial campaign .without any authority therefor. ; .Mr. Drury says this biy sum was never authorized by theCommtffeion, Hon. Mr. Carmichael says he knew noth'iig of it. Mr. Beck *a\ s it was authorized, and he was told by , Mr. Drhry's Deputy that C'ol. C'ar- michael did know about it. Some- body is not telling t'i<-' truth here, but the fact remains that Hydro away with that S 11, 000 of the people's money tor campaign pur- poses without authorixation from any responsible source. This let;, in .1 ray of light on the ni'-thods of those \\hu control Hydro, and it is not a pleasant illumination for those who ga/e and pa\ .

We have known for soir.e time that somebody is having 1 a hi.; rake-off by the price that is charged for the coal. The price delivered from coal yards in To- ronto has been 15. 50. Here, de- lis ered ofl the car, it was $18.50. o o o >3 The Ontario Government has at hist taken drastic action and sent- enced a man from Detroit, Mi.h., for reckless driving when he struck and killed a Chatham man with his automobile. A license to drive in Ontario has been refused him for two years. Hy the large number ol fatal auto accidents in Ontario last year it seems as though some drastic action should betaken. It would do a lot of good if more licenses were refused to speed man- iacs wtoii take their lives in their Fined $25 A Day On Income Delay it must be obeyed.

Wtn. T. Red- ford of Blmwood and Franklin Schilling both appeared and were convinced and fined. The fines is 2o.oo a day, but the information only alleged two days' de- fault though a great many more than this might have been alleged. Neither of the parties is taxable, but each re- ceived a registered letter from the 1 Inspector of taxation ut London notify] ing them to rile a return for 1920. Be- , cause they had no taxable ir.come, they ( were told by advisers that they did not j have to fill a return and so innocently defaulted. The law ia very clear that j any person \vho has a taxable income unJ fails to file a return ia liable to a j heavy fine and any person who received | from the Inspector of Taxation a d- ' mand to tile a return, even though the , return will show no taxable income, is ' liable to a tine of $25.00 a day if he fails ! u * rt '*** to do so .

Don't fail to see the New Superior 1923 Chevrolet The world's greatest motor car value It is claimed that the fire losses in l':inad:i during the year of 1022 were the heaviest on record for years. The ratio from losses in- curred to premiums written is C>S. 04 percent., as compared with 58.- 28 per cent, in 1921, the total firo loss being $32,565, 8 16. No doubt i larjje part of this loss was caused In the lire in Northern Ontario last fall. Hut even with that the loss is tremendous, not only in the build- 1 ings dostroye^d, but in the busines- ses shut down on that account, until new -iiuarlers could be secured. All the advertising jfivon on fire prevention is not north a ho*t iniU-ss the p '(.'p'.e cevoperato to prevent fires. A little more thought on the part of citixens would pre- vent scores of tires.
