The byâ€"law was given firet and second reading by the council and will probably be passed when it is read for the third time at the next meeting of their Opposltion to the byâ€"law was very keen at the meeting, about thirty farâ€" mers from the Waterloo district beâ€" ing present, most of them opposing the byâ€"law on the grounds that the new regulations would work so much hardehlp on the farmer that he would be forced to cease selling milk to the town, thus leaving the market open. for what they termed "the monoâ€". polist". A petition signed by several. hundred persons, both farmers and consumers of Waterloo, was presentâ€" ed to the council, protesting against the adoption of the new byâ€"law. The producer, conaumer, the Board of Hlealth, and the Jocal Victorian Order of ‘Nurses were represented.

Ratz who voted that the byâ€"law by Reeve Favors Special Session When the matter of the milkbyâ€"law first came up at the beginning of the meeting, Ald. McKersie suggested that the matter be held over to a special meeting, stating "we cannot do justice to this important matter at this meeting. We have too much other business, and no matter how slowly we go at it, and how care fully we deal with each clause, it will be impossible to deal with the matter fairly to all concerned.

By means of the Provinâ€" cial Income Tax which the Ontario Government will provide for at" the special eession of the Legislature next Fall, Premier Hepburn expects to raise approximately $20,000,000 in additional revenue annually. "A lot will depend, of course," he sald. "on the rates we impose. The matter of rates is now being considâ€" ered by treasury department officials who have had the whole income queation â€" under survey . for some time," Town There was a posaibility, Mr. Hep hurn qeclared, that Ontario‘s rates i‘ Jevying might coincide with the income ftux charges of the Federal Government This, â€" of â€" necessily, would hbe the situation, he added, if the province in the administration ‘nr its tax were to compel every eligâ€" ible taxpayer to file with Queen‘s Park a «worn affidavit ag to the amonunt of tax he or she had paid to Ofttawa, and adoption of euch a policy, Mr. Hepburn felt, would reâ€" duce to the minimum of cost the nperation of the collection machinery ut Queen‘s Park. Forecact as long ago as last Noâ€" vember, this provincial income tax will he substituted for the municipal income tax that Je now enforced ri gidly by «ome municipalities, only halfgreartedly by â€" many, and â€" by othere not at all.

FRICKEY, GEIGER CLASH Waterloo town council on Thursâ€" day voted to engage a food and milk Inspector _ jointly wth â€" Kitchener with the salary being pald on the basks of population, $500 by Waterâ€" loo and $1500 by Kitchener. The deâ€" bate on the question was prompted by a communication from® the Waterâ€" loo Board of Health asking that the council sanction the engaging of an inspector jointly with the City of Kitchener. The dobate became lively ‘ when Ald. Frickey and Dr. Geiger, chairman of the Board of Health, crossed swords on the question. Overiapping Duties Eliminated _ Dr. Gelger in eponsoring the move for the Board of ‘Health explained to the council that the joint inspector would eliminate the overlapping in the duties formerly performed by two separate men, one from each town. He emphasized the point that it the inspector is a full time man he can enforce the claiises of the byâ€" law without fear or favor of doing harm to himself if he were depenâ€" dent upon the good will of the farâ€" iners for his business as a veterinary surgeon. The Kitchener and the Wa:â€" ‘tnorhm Boards of Mealth were a unit on the idea, he said. Waterloo has been paying a part time inspector g:00 per year, the new salary being ua $300 ralse. One good case of alckâ€" uess prevented by the inspector‘s work would mean a saving of the $300, Dr. Geiger opined. ‘ Frickey Questions Move | Ald. Frickey questioned whether the arrangement would be satisfacâ€" tory to Waterloo interests. He menâ€" tioned the fact that the Kitchener vounci] had stated that they would engage their own food inspector if the Waterloo council did not take acâ€" tion at their April meeting. This was not done, and the Kitchener council was â€" still waiting, because, Mr. Frickey said, the Kitchener body knew that it was to the advantage of Kitehener io have the joint man, Mr Frickey saig he folt Waterl0o wou‘ be the goat in the arcangement. | Dr. Geiger in reply accused Ald | Frickey of alwars being aber.‘ wi‘ Bourd of Health: meetinge list yes when there was a conterth 54 point 1 np for discussion.

Dr. Geiger expressed his beâ€" lief that some men were Opposing the byâ€"law and the joint inspectorâ€" ship merely to curry favor among the farmers to "line their own ‘kets".

The Bennett government was g0 ing out of power in a general landâ€" slide, Mr. Euler aaid, for several reaâ€" sons. Aâ€" depression was baturally hard on any party in power. But, Mr. Euler said, the policies of the Conservative government were the wrong ones to cope with the depresâ€" sion. The «peaker referred to Mr. Bennett‘s promices to cure unemployâ€" ment when he went into power in 1930, when there were geveral hunâ€" dréd thonsand on relief, Today there are a million and a quarter on relief.

He reierred to the longthy "Fillbuster" seseion of the Conservaâ€" tive opposition in the legislature which failed after 37 hours, and exâ€" pressed his confiderice in the leader Hon. M. F. Hepburn. In regards to the "repudiation" of the hydro conâ€" ‘lracts by the government, Mr. Asâ€" muséen told the convention that the government had done the only thing they could do in the matter. The acâ€" tion was not repudiation, Mr. Asâ€" mussen said, but merely the de nouncement of agreements made by* the Ontario Hydro Commission, which agreements the Commission had no power to made. It would have meant, the speaker eaid, that in two yeare Ontario would be facing a $9,000,000 hydro deficit, unless exorâ€" bitant rates were charged the hydro power consumers. This would result, he said, in the crippling of Ontario industry. The contracts were broken to aave Ontario public ownership. Forecasts Liberal Landslide Mr. Asmussen intimated that he believed there would be even more of a landslide at the coming federal elottions than at the Ontario elecâ€" tions last June. His huge record maâ€" jority, he believed, would be exceedâ€" ed by Mr. Euler this fall, intimating that ‘"lese people woud be fooled" than were last June when they voted |other than for the Liberal party.
