_ The efforts carried on for some years to meourue the use of fuels other than those from the America: mines on which we were at one time no dependent, are evidently securing results. It is generally recognized by Cano. dinm that it its not well to be too dependent on one low of apply. 11le the situation is mmhutoensunnnmlemwlyoffud 'rr. all m . _ .. l The report states that “though still using Inge quantities of American anthracite, we are no ionger entirei§ dependent on this fuel, the producers of which are now fhthtintr here to retain a declining market." ‘ , Speaking of the situation in regard to the supply of fuel available during the past year, the report states that there is a superabundance of both foreign and native fuels for all pur- poses. It is pointed out that coke, British an- thraeite, low volatile coals and fuel oil are strong competitors of the American anthracite in the household fuel trade and the range of Alberta and Maritime coals is being extended, through special provisions, to Ontario and Quebec. That the consumers of fuel in Canada are becoming less dependent on American coal is evident from a recent report of the Dominion Fuel Board covering a period of tive years. The report directs attention to the altered situation which prevails in this respect as compared with the year 1923 when fuel conditions in Ontario and Quebec were such as to give rise to much anxiety among householders owing to mine troubles in the United States. Prospects for continued growth during suc- ceeding years are bright and it would not be surprising to so“ the objective in population mentioned by ex-Mayor Bohlender reached in the next few years. The suggestion is an interesting one and the objective in population one which may be realized perhaps sooner thatmany citizens an- ticipate. The growth of the town. especially during the past few years, has been such as to encourage the belief that only a comparatively few years will elapse before Waterloo has at- tained a population of 10,000 people, it now having a population of almost 8,000. The pre- sent era of prosperity has naturally led to the enlargement of industries and other institu- tions with a consequent 'increase in the number of those employed which in turn has meant a steady advance in population. " jtuigua--L-L'- F _ mm- A mama»: - At the inaugural meeting of the Waterloo Council, ex-Mayor Bohlender, who is a member of this year's council, urged that efforts be made to secure more industries. He pointed out that by encouraging more manufacturers to lo, cate in the municipality more families would become residents here and the population of the town would be further increased. He inti- mated that when M'aterloo attained a popula- tion of 10,000 it would be in a position to with- draw from the county and by so doing relieve the town of a heavy burden of taxation on; which it was now called upon to assume. 7 In pursuing the objectives emphasized the council and other civic bodies will be carrying out the wishes of the electors and a year of progress and advancement will he an- ticipated. _ V Stressing the desirability of economy, Reeve-elect Uffelmann, chairman of the Fin- anée Committee, well said that the object should be to get a dollar's, value for each dollar spent. He also expressed the belief that the deficit" of last year would be met this year tfy reason of the increased assessment consequent upon the addition of new residences and other structures which have been erected and that it would be possible at the same time to.keep the tax rate at the present level or even to lower it. Mayor-elect Dietrich predicted that the year 1929 would be the best ever experienced by the municipality. Certainly conditions point to a realization of this prediction which it is hoped will be fulfilled in the fullest measure. He also expressed the View that the return of the council and other town bodies by acclama- tion indicated not only the satisfaction of the ratepayers with the work of last yearr,' repre- sentatives but their desire to economize, the amount of $350 being saved by haying no election. t _ In stressing cooperation and economy as its objectives for the year, Waterloo’s council- elect indicated its desire to work together har- moniously for the advancement of the town and to keep the tax rate down to a reasonable level by the continuance of the practice of economy in the administration of the affairs of the muni- eipality. -..-tt.tert--.r-ttq5t-iat-tims.

Happily, however, the efforts made to eradicate the disease have met with an en- couraging degree of success and according to the chief Veterinary Inspector of the Depart. ment of Agriculture at Ottawa. Dr. Cameron, the prevalence of tuberculosis in Canadian cattle mounted to than: flee per cent. l Under the new plans of the Dominion Immigration department, special efforts are be- ling made to encourage British immigration and to slow down the bringing of people to Canada from southern Europe, the endeavor being in the direction of Ming it easier for the average Britisher to come here. Efforts to attract people from the non-preferred countries have resulted in a greater influx of these people than is thought dsirable. ' In the coming year emphasis will be laid on securing British settlers first, although mi- grants from Denmark and Sweden and other preferred countries are also desired.. Commenting upon migration arrangements for the year, Hon. John S. Martin, Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, recently stated that the outlook is that this province will get more farm workers from Great Britain this year ‘than ever before and will be well able to handle them. The minister states that the demand seems to be for Scotch and Irish farm workers. "I think the new arrangement will have no effect on the farming situation. in Ontario, be- cause from reports we are getting new we are going to have more farm workers than we ever had." states Mr. Martin. "Last year, on account of the medical regulations. we did not get our quota, but this year, with the change, we ought to he able to.handle all we ean' get and get all we can handle," said Mr. Martin in conclusion. 3 SUPPRESSING BOVINE TUBERCULOSISI The Board through literature sent out has been carrying on a campaign looking to the prevention of accidents which doubtless much assisted in preventing the increase in the num- her of the accidents from being larger. . A noteworthy feature of the reports filed by twenty-five thousand industries comprising largely the manufacturing interests of the province, was the remarkable increase in em- ployment over former years indicated. The total medical aid awarded in connection with these industries shows an increase of over one hundred thousand dollars and total compensa- tion awards of over six hundred thousand dollars. The summary for the past twelve months shows that there has been awarded in benefits during the year $7,167,946.93 tampered with $6,084,654.87 during the prior year, the present year's figures being made up of $5,901,439.39 compensation and $1.166,507.54 medical aid. The accidents reported numbered 79,398 'as compared with 71,979 accidents during 1927, while the fatal accidents showed an increase from 429 during 1927 to 553 in 1928. In Decem- her there were 6,455 accidents reported in-. cluding 36 fatalities. According to the records of the Workmen's Compensation Board there was an increase of eleven per cent. in the total number of accidents reported to the Board for the year 1928 while an increase of sixteen per cent. in the ampth of the awards by the Board is reported. Under the circumstances it is but natural that the municipality should desire to secure relief in the matter which involves the outlay of a large amount without . corresponding benefit being derived for the amount expended. The situation is one which it is well to bring to the attention of the proper authorities and action has now been taken with this object in VIeW.
