Dr. Hilliard, in a questioning mood, demanded of the Waterloo Town Council at its session on Monâ€" day, October 2nd, just exactly what was being done in connection with seven cases of typhoid fever occurrâ€" ing in Waterloo during the past year. Ald. Dr. Hilliard Asks if Recent Typhoid Case Is Not Traceable to Milk. Fred Armstrong, N. Dumfries Farmer, Sentenced. â€" Conâ€" federates Also Given Prison Terms. Mr. Hilliard stated that he was under the impression that although several dairies had been found in an unsanitary condition by Dr. Johnâ€" son, the Health Board Inspector, and warned, the dairies had done nothing ‘about it. Ald. Hilliard went on to point cut the various sources of the disease and the possible application to the present situation. Ald, Uffelâ€" man also declared thet he had heard reports similar to those repeated by Dr. Hilliard. He stated that alâ€" though Waterloo had no Milk Byâ€" Law, Dr. Johnson should be given petter backing by the Health Board. Dr. C. T. Noeckery M.O.H., when questioned concerning the rumors, declared them without reason and that Dr. Fraser of the Ontario Deâ€" partment of Health had investigated and found no reason to blame Waterloo as thesource of the typhoid discase. .

Philpott spoke at length on the Stratford strike situation. Hc‘ denied that Mr. Knechtel, veteran Hanover fa@rniture man, had been howled _ down _ when _ addressing strikers. Speaking further, he deâ€" clared : "Officials responsible _ for sending those machines of war to Stratford deserve the censure and contempt of every decent citizen and those murder machines should be immedifitely sent back whence they came. We are coming to a crisis for capithlism. We work for little and it is likely we are to have mote such trouble as they are exâ€" periencing in Stratford. It is not brought on by paid men of Moscow as we are: to[«{), but by capitalism and we should think of what is happening." s â€" The first step, said the speaker, the C.C.F. will take when it gets into power will be to socialize the whole banking and financial system. He said the C.C.F. will take over the banks, insurance companies, and put the stock exchanges out of business. The C.C.F. favors trade with any country willing to trade with Canâ€" ada. Capt. Philpott said the C.C.F. would throw out Governorâ€"Generals and the Senate.

Dunlop, Provincial Treasurer told the Press recently that the Government‘s plan to cut down controllable ordinary expendiâ€" tures by four million dollars had been carried to a successful concluâ€" sion, and that the ordinary expendiâ€" ture for 1933 would be well within the estimate of $34,950,000. With the end of the fiecal year less than a month distant, the Onâ€" tario Government, on the basis of the past 11 months‘ experience, finds itself a shade better off financially than was expected when the budget for the year was compiled. . While declining to go into a deâ€" tailed account of the province‘s finâ€" ancial position, Mr. Dunlop indicated that the Government is satisfied with the result of the year‘s operations, tiking Into account, of course, the steady decline in revenue. Two of the biggest drops in revenue during 1933 were experienced in liquor reveâ€" nue and succession duties. So far the liquor revenue has fallen $250,â€" 000 behind last year‘s returns, and succession dutles are down $750,000. On the other hand, receipts from the stock transfer tax have increased by several hundred thousands of dolâ€" lurs, and the gasoline tax has alroaâ€" dy brought in $250,000 over the estiâ€" mated figure. Revenue from game end fisheries and the Corporation Tax Act is down, the former being due to the decrease in the tourist traffic.
