Artemesia Accounts In Good Condition A meeting of the ratepayers of the Township of Artemesia was called for Friday afternoon of last week, to have the financial condi- tion of the Township placed befors them. None of the ratepayers at- tended, so the meeting was not held, showing the lack of interest taken by the people in their own affairs. Mr. Alex. Cameron, treasurer of the township, had a splendid report pre- pared, which shows the finances to be in \a healthy condition. From January 1st, 1941, the receipts am- ounted to $27,696.81, with expendi- tures of $23,361.23, showing a bal- ance on hand on November 15th, of $4,345.58. The Abstract Statement places- the assets at $51,369.42 and liabilities of $42.202.61. with assets over liabilities o* $9,166.81. It is regrettaible that the ratepay- ers do not take more of an interest in the work of the township, but a* there was not going to be an election this year, it might be one of the contributing factors in the non- interest. : .

Business Increase The number of shareholders of the Osprey and Artemesia Co-operativp attending the annual meeting in the town hall, Flesherton. on Saturday. Nov. 22nd, was not large. The ! statement presented by the auditors, Mrs. Dargavel of Durham and Mr. Francis of Feversham, showed a very successful year. The sales increased over the pre- vious year by $10,000, due to two factors, an increase in the amount of goods sold and the general ap- preciation in prices this year. A motion of appreciation of the good work of Mr. John Mc'William, man- ager, and his staff was passed en- thusiastically.
