Our most careful ad- lvice is yours for the asking. Don’t delay. Its dangerous. ’ Furthermore I would suggest that each ratepayer take an interest in this matter and support our young and tireless councillors in their endeavours ‘to place our municipal affairs on a businesslike basis. These councillors have got the ability, are keen students of what is best for the village and are vitall‘y interested in the future deâ€" velopment of Richmond Hill and can be depended upon without fear or fav- or to put effcient methods into effect, and if this support is given them, the subtle tactics of a clique of the old school to block progress will be de- feated and they can console them- selves with gazing at the living mon- ument they have erected of their in- efficiencey incompetence and imbecilâ€" ity. OPTOMETRIST AND OPTICIAN Eyesight Specialist If such is done I have no hesitation in saying the first step will have been taken to put the affairs of Richmond Hill on a sound progressive and suw cessful basis, and will in' a very short time reduce the taxes to a normal lev- el and eventually lift us from the wallowing mire of obscurity in which We now find ourselves to an eminent position amongst other municipalities. If my memory is correct Mr. Editor it was Councillor Sloan who at the be- ginning of this year, suggested that our assessment be revised by a compe- tent commission. This suggestion should at least have been considered, but following the usual steam roller methods it was placed on the table and one has only to peep beneath the surface to realize that every effort made to place our affairs on a busi- ness like basis is blocked at evei‘y turn by those who prefer to travel the well beaten track of their inefficient predecessors whose proven ability seems to have resulted in RAISING I realize that criticism is useless un- less it is constructive and as a solution submit, that lthe suggestion of Coun- cillor Sloanâ€"Which I believe is endor- sed by the other two young councillâ€" orsâ€"be put into effect immediately viz., that a responsible efficient and capable commision be approved to re- vise the whole of our village assess- ment. These figures may not be interest- ing reading, at the same time they are the facts as published by the Bur- eau of Municipal affairs of Ontario and circulated throughout every city and Hamlet in the Province of Ontario and needless to say are very damagâ€" ing to our standing as a village. These facts must be met and We should meet them at ONCE and the‘first step is to have a REAL HOUSE CLEAN- INGâ€"Sentiment must not interfere with our dutyâ€"and put the Municipal affairs into hands of men who are capable of introducing efficient and economicâ€"management, and who will refuse to be bamboozled with the ec- centic ideas of one or two whose sup- reme confidence in their knowledge of matters Municipal is only exceeded by the blatant ignorance the results prove. THE TAXES and LOWERING THE OPPORTUNITIES. We also find on further perusal that the totals receipts from all sources is $45,299 and the total expenditures $54,321 or an expenditure of $9.024 $6220.30 LOSS FOR THE YEAR Take for instance the comparison with Stouffville whose population is only 148 less than Richmond Hill and find 1 Our Business assessment is $12,400 less; 2 Our school tax is 14.1 mills higher; 3 The assessed acreage is 38 acres more; 4 The total tax is 22 mills higher. MORE THAN RECEIPTS Furthermore we find that during the year 1926 the waterworks shows In glancing over the Municipal Sta- ;itics recently issued by the Provincial Secretary’s Dept, one is bewildered )y the startling facts therein contained especially relating to the village of Richmond Hill. If one compares the figures as given with other villages with a similar population they will be convinced that there is something rad- ically wrong with our Municipal man- agement and financing, and THAT something is inefficiency. Some Comparisons of Munâ€" icipal Statistics. Dear Mr. Editor:â€" 167 Yonge Street, Toronto 2. (Upstairs Opposite Simpson’s Elgin 4820 Letters From The People F. E. LUKE Yours very truly PROGRESS Data relating to Ford of Canada’s growth and activities is used in a prospectus sent out by the American stock-selling organization. This in- formation, Mr. Campbell stated, is us- ed entirely without authority and the Ford Motor Company of Canada em- phatically recommends against the purchase of these fractional shares. Asked if the Ford Motor Company can do nothing to stop this stock sell- ing campaign in Canada, Mr. Camp- bell stated that two years ago when another organization began similar activities his company was successful ‘in securing a temporary restraining order from the New York State attor- neyâ€"general. The result was that the company immediately suspended and was quickly replaced by another com- pany. Concerns of this nature can be so quickly organized and require so little capital that it would be impossi- ible to keep pace with them through the issuance of restraining orders.

The literature circulated by this stock-selling company, Mr. Campbell, said, may lead unwary investors to suppose that they are buying- the cap- ital stock of Ford of Canada. Actual- ly they are offered “bankers shares” one hundred of which are presumed to be issued against each share of Ford stock deposited by the issuers with a trust company. As these shares are sold at $10 each and the present mar- ket for Ford stock is in the neighbor- hood of $585.00 the “bankers shares” are being sold at considerably more than the corresponding stock market value of Ford shares. Last Thursday afternoon the Girl’s and Junior Auxiliaries of St. Mary’s church held an afternoon tea at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Paris at which presentations were made to Mrs. Battersby by both branches on the eve of her 25th Wedding Anniver- sary.
