*‘There is a coâ€"operation which the builder can show to the loaning comâ€" panies. 1f the builder would take n« into confidence and show ne what a building actually costs. But a buildâ€" er will not give us actual cost. Thereâ€" INSURANCE COMPANIES WOULD AID BUILDING Kitchener.â€"In a speech before the Bullders‘ Exchange at the Walâ€" per House in Kitchener recently, A. E. Pequegnat, mesistant manager of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., statâ€" ed that the large loan firms such as hle company, were actively intersatâ€" ed in loaning money for the purpore of alding the conetruction of buildâ€" ing. Speculative projecta, however, were to be discouraged m« unsound, he affirmed. There were 28,721 cars manufactured in January and February of 1985 and those manuâ€" factured for export numbered 12,445, compared with 7,094 the previous year. It indicates an increased demand for both local and foreign markets. # Evidence that business conditions in genâ€" eral are on the upâ€"grade is seen in the marked pickâ€"up in sales for the first two months of the year, which have practically doubled as comâ€" pared with the same period a year ago. More cars were produced in Canada in the first two months of 1935 than the corresponding months of any year since 1929 and more than four times as many as compared to the same period in 1988 when production touched bottom. Timmins pays it mayor $1,800, Fort Wilâ€" liam $2,000, less a ten per cent. cut, Port Arthur $1,620. Further, in Ontario cities and towns where there is a public utilities or hydro board, the mayor, who exâ€"officio is a member, draws a handsome allowance. The work in Teck townâ€" ship is growing rather than diminishing, and the maximum salary of $1,500 is not too much. Here the reeve is practically a fullâ€"time mayor, in a community whose problems are more varied and complex than those of many a larger and olderâ€"settled community. The post involves the sacrifice of personal leisure and of private business to a far greater degree than the mere time covered by council and committee meetings. Anything from a kick on a $3 water bill to the mere nothing of getting work for 200 or more unemployed is made the subject of personal interviews, absences from home and much thought and worry. Here, as is right, the reeve has always made himself accessible, but, as is wrong, he has received scanty compensation. It‘s work, and work should be properly paid for. For some time interest in Gait and district has been centred on the proposal of the Hepâ€" burn Government to introduce in the Legisâ€" lature a bill which would nullify the local option ‘decision given by the people of Galt, Wallaceâ€" burg, Lancaster and Alexandria. This bill, if \put into effect, would impose. on the people beverage rooms without another vote being taken. The reason for its introduction is that in 1927 the people voted in favor of liquor stores. The actual wording regarding the salary was "that application be made to the next sesâ€" sion of the legislature for authority to pay the reeve the same salary as in a town of similar population." To the outside world the word "reeve" conjures up the picture of an amiable gentleman who steps off a plough or hinder, slicks up his hair and drives off to the town hall for the monthly meeting, the entirely unâ€" intelligible minutes of which constitute the budâ€" get of municipal news in the local press. â€" _ The Northern News, in commenting on the matter, says: People interested in township municipal affairs in Waterloo County and elsewhere will note with interest the move on the part of Teck township, Northern Ontario, to pay the reeve a salary of $1500. A bill authorizing the voting of a salary has passed the committec stage. In an editorial, the Toronto Star takes exâ€" ception to the proposed billâ€"and calls upon the government to withdraw it. It argues that a liquor store in which purchases may be made and taken home is something very different from a beverage room in which public drinkâ€" ing takes place. It declared that the four comâ€" munities mentioned alone have theright, both moral and legal, to determine whether beverage rooms shall be set up in their midst. Legally a local referendum would require a 60 per cent. vote favorable to the establishment of beverage rooms. The bill would reverse this condition, permit the beverage rooms to be established against the law as it now stands and put on those who object to beverage rooms the necesâ€" sity of obtaining 60 per cent. of the vote.

Yet in permitting such places to operate the whole community is living off it and its ally, the bootâ€" legging trade. The matter is, however, even worse than that, for these places are a festering sore in the life of the community, taking a terrible toll in the demoralizing of our youth and the corruption of our whole town. Is it worthwhile, does it pay? The town has tried it for twentyâ€"five years now and has nothing to show for it, so even from a purely monetary standpoint the practice of winking at vice to help pay the taxes is unsound. By permitting the laxity of the past we are reaping a harvest such as can bring us no community pride." "It is presently being argued that if all the bootleg joints and brothels are closed in Cochrane there will be many premises left vacant on which the owners will be unable to pay the taxes. If such is a true presentation of the case and the argument is valid to a certain extent at least, is the town therefore justified in permitting such places to operate? Marked improvements have been made in the business section in recent years, due to modernized store fronts and new buildings. There is still room for improvement, notably in repair and repainting of old structures, repairs to pavements and a general effort upon the part of the merchants to make their stores still more attractive. An effort might also be made to encourage householders in general to improve The Cochrane Northland Post, in an ediâ€" torial under the head "Does Crime Pay?", is leading a campaign to clean house and rid Cochrane of an "unsavory reputation" that the Post claims it has.

The book is not political proâ€" paganda; it is, rather, a sketch of the public career of Mackenzie King, a career which is unique in Canada for it began when he was in his twenties, when he became the first deputyâ€" minister of the Department of Labor. The concluding chapters of the book contain an explicit statement of the liberal policy and this alone makes it of outstanding importance, Observations extending over a long period indicate that thin, eparse pasturages for sheep encourage the growth of the finer grades of wool. while thick, lush grass Increases the proportion of the coarser grades.

Getting Ready For The Lambing Season Lambing is the shepherd‘s harvest, and it is also his most exciting time. Everything must, therefore, be in readiness for the coming of the new crop. In closing let me say that the apâ€" pointment of a food inspector to enâ€" force & bylaw with too many teeth would mean barring the farmer, the man who has made Waterloo market what it is today, from selling his 100 per cent home produce at his stalls each Saturday. RE FOOD INGPECTOR Would you be so kind as to allow the writer epace in your paper conâ€" cerning remarks about this soâ€"called "joint" Food Inspector, which acâ€" cording to the report in the Record we have reason to believe the Waâ€" terioo Board of Health will not agree to. Judging by the remarks passed amongst the farmere at the Waterâ€" loo (Market, it will be a wise move on the part of the Board of Health to reject the proposal. I might say that last year when ruâ€" mours were being circulated regardâ€" ing these proposed changes in conâ€" mection with the handling of cream, etc., and the increased fees to farâ€" mers, which would follow such changes, many farmers declared that it proposed changes were put into effect, they would be obliged to quit attending the Waterloo Market and dispose of their produce by selling it to the householders directly. 1 might say further that at the marâ€" ket last Saturday, in conversation with my fellow fermer friends, the question of the appointment of the joint food inspector was discussed and it was the general opinion that Kitchener is going to extremes in passing too many bylaws restricting the farmer in the gale oOf his proâ€" duce. ‘The proposed bylaw is unâ€" reasonable in ite reguiations and a distinct handicap to vendors at the Twin City Markets. Why should a municipality have a milk and food inspector to see that sanitation is kept up on the farms when their sanitary inspector does not even inspect waste closots in the average merchant‘s store which are very dirty.
