This presents an opportunity to the farmer to plant unproductive areas with trees which __â€"~ will eventually yield him a good return and )R utilize land from which he now obtains little or 4 no revenue. Beautification of property can also 4 be carried out at a minimum of expense. | j That the offer of the Department is being . . . taken advantage of is evident in the fact that 5 last year nearly five thousand persons accepted _ trees from the government and indications are ~/. _ that many more will this year also avail themâ€" - selves of the opportunity presented. _ The Ontario Department of Forestry is again preparing‘ to distribute, free of charge, trees to residents of the province for planting and windbreak purposes, The Department states that 14,000,000 trees are available for free distribution this year. Each resident of the province can secure 4,000 trees and they will be forwarded from t!\e nearest forestry‘ station. _ Rural users of the hydro, on account of the cost of furnishing power in the country districts, have had to pay a considerably higher rate than those residing in the urban centres where the larger number of users within a limited territary could be supplied more cheapâ€" ly. The removal of the maintenance charges on rural power lines, in view of the compara~ tively high cost of hydro in the rural sections, would therefore be much welcomed since it would lessen the amount consumers are called' upon to pay to an appreciable degree. The| financial statement of the Hydro Electric Power Commission indicates that it is in a favorable position to relieve rural power conâ€" sumers of these charges. In a review of the activities of the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission, Hydro Commisâ€" sioner Cooke, speaking in the Legislature reâ€" cently, said he would recommend to the Comâ€" mission that it assume the burden of maintenâ€" ance charges on rural power lines as a further aid to the farmers of Ontario in lessening the cost of hydro. He felt that the time had now come when the Commission could afford to reâ€" lieve the rural users of this burden which amounts to about $240,000 a year. It is estiâ€" mated that Hydro will have reached every home in Ontario where it is economically feasible, within the next seven years. The Chronicle is pleased to join in the feâ€" licitations ‘extended to the Twinâ€"City‘s only daily newspaper of which Hon. W. D. Euler, alinister of National Revenue, is the president, and Mr. W. J.

As in this province, the beauty of the countryside and good roads on which to travel from place to place, are real assets which are attracting an increasing number of . tourists from both Canada and the Republic to the south | who in turn stimulate business by their exâ€" penditures which yearly total many millions.‘ Aside ffom the wisdom of having the n. |some muncipalities having registered objection se |to this provision in view of the heavy taxation nâ€"|now borne by them.

In the province of Quebec, the Legislative Ascombly is being asked to endorse a program calling for the expenditure of $17,000,000 withâ€" in six years on the resurfacing of 892 miles of highways, the correcting of road locations, the reduction of grades and the straightening of curves. Other bills introduced include a measâ€" ure which would prohibit the erection along the routes of provincial highways and in rural municipalities of signs and posters which tend to mar the attractiveness of the countryside while the government is also sponsoring a bill forbidding the destruction of trees along proâ€" vincial highways without the permission of the public service commission. â€" The bill, which is laid down largely along the lines of the Mothers‘ Allowance Act, will, in many cases, relieve distress and make for the happiness and comfort of numerous deserving members of the community who in the vigo® of their manhood and womanhood contributed in no smallâ€"degree to the prosperity and well being of the province by their industry and faithful discharge of the obligations of citizenship. [ Although the bill in one or two respects may not be received with entire approval, the legislation will be generally welcomed in that ‘it makes provision in a material degree for citizens beyond three score and ten, many of whom, through force of circumstances, have found themselves without adequate means of support in their old age. The provision requiring municipalities to pay twenty per cent. towards the cost of the An interesting feature of the bill and one which will appeal to the municipalities, is the f that control of the awarding of old _age Xsiom will be vested in the counties, cities and towns, the councils of which shall appoint a commission which will receive all applicaâ€" tions for pensions. This commission will make recommendations to the provincial commission to be appointed and applicants rejected by the local commission have the right to appeal to this body.
