'ay their taxes it is convincing evi- 'lence of 5. serious situation. I’m “at a pessimist, but I think a lot "tore reductions in public expenditure "111 have to come or many of us will 'se our little homes. My word of ""ise is to watch the arrears of ‘cs and relief expenditure. Why ‘ .t have those receiving relief do York for the town in return? HOME OWNER 'v A public meeting is being arranged at which the electors of Richmond 'lill and district will have the oppor- ?unity of hearing a discussion of fedâ€" ral political developments. Miss \gnes MacPhail will be the leading *peaker with her well known capacity *0 deal with such questions. Mr. Tames G. Gibson, a farmer of Cale- donia, who is a graduate of Toronto University and has served as Premier of file Young Men’s Parliament will 'LlSO be present if possible. Mr. Gib- ron will deal with the issues from the standpoint of the Co-operative Com- monwealth Federation in whose prin- ciples he believes the recovery of Canada’s financial and trade pros- perity rests. PAGE FOUR Tditor The Liberal, Sir:â€" BERT COOK THINKS CARETAKER AND CONSTABLE SHOULD BE TWO JOBS First let me thank you, Mr. Editor, ‘or the space in your valuable paper to draw attention to the deal which 5 being handed Mr. George Smith, {he old reliable village caretaker. I might point out that in past years when tradesmen, business men and men in government employ were get- ting big salaries Mr. Smith as village caretaker received only a nominal salary, and I don’t think there should be any complaint about his work. It may be true a new broom sweeps clean, but an old one knows the cor- ners. It has been suggested that two men should be engaged, one as constablei and one as caretaker, and I think this plan should be adopted for at least one year under the present circumâ€" stances, even if a further reduction in present salaries was considered neces- sary. If in the case of the constable the County pays $420 as per agree- ment, this along with the revenue from fines would approximately pay his salary for the year. Now wouldn’t it be more sensible for the taxpayers and the village at large to employ these two men at very little more c05t to the village than one would be, as it is impossible for one man to fill the two positions. Now in closing, Mr. Editor, I would like to see the same two men re-instated as care- taker and constable. Editor The Liberal, 311-2-â€" MAN WILL BE MORE SATISFIED LEAVING FOR DAILY TOIL KNOWING DEAR ONES IN CARE OF FULL TIME CONSTABLE SUGGESTS THOSE ON RELIEF GIVE WORK IN RETURN Editor, The Liberal, Sir:â€" It has been brought to my atten- tion that it is proposed by the Village Council to combine the position of Village ConstaBle with that of many other duties, which I feel sure will interfevo with his du‘dos of Constable, and that one or the other will suffer. _ An economical program is very well in its place, but sometimes a so- called saving is very costly. If the duties of Constable at the present time is so unimportant, that speaks Jitor, The Liberal, Let me in a word commend you for aur timely editorial in your last isâ€" e re the arrears of taxes. We are ‘ateful to the present council for a r; reductiOn in the tax rate this at and I suppose we should not be mp‘laining, but it seems to me that Jen a large number are unable to MISS AGNES MacI’HAIL T0 SPEAK HERE We exhibited some samples at the Unionville seed fair.

BERT COOK well for his ability to maintain order and other matters under his juris- diction, so why not leave well enough alone. I Wonder what the general cry would be if the Constable should be wanted sometimes in a hurry, but owing to other duties, it would not be convenient to get in touch with him. ‘ Perhaps it would be more satisfy- ing to a man leaving for his daily work, to know that should the occas- ion ariSe that his family and dear ones are under the good care of aConstable Who is on duty at all times. Every house-Wife these days knows what it is to be bothered at the door with doubtful characters who are only to anxious to take the first opportunity if they knew that there were no means of protection. Perhaps the few dollars saved in a year would be many times wiped out in a moment if the services of a conâ€" stable were needed in a hurry. A saving of this nature is not apprec- iated by taxpayers, who value the pro- tection of a Constable who they_know to be on duty 24 hours every day for that purpose. , Editor Liberal, Sir :â€" Even the most patient of men at times must give vent to their feelings and although I hesitate to trespass on the space in your valuable paper I wish to express my views on certain aspects of local affairs. I am sure many of the ratepayers of this village already burdened with taxation view with alarm the approach of our next assessment and are wondering when our local council will get down to bus- iness and endeavour to lower our tax rate, by reducing expenses and costs which at this time are not absolutely necessary. Perhaps this letter will be judged that of a critic, but I deem it the privilege of every taxpayer to crit- icize where necessary. Sometimes a good dose of this medicine goes a long way and works wonders so perhaps my letter will have the desired re- sults. If it awakens an interset on behalf of the very much overburdened taxpayer I Willlbe satisfied. I think, Mr. Editor, there should be more publicity concerning the handâ€" ling of relief. If the people knew all the facts they might be better satis- fied and they would at least know ‘whether or not the many rumors con- cerning relief are true. How long does a person have to live in Richmond Hill before getting relief? Is it true that people who have been here hardly ovrnight have received relief? I un- derstand this is not done other places. Is it done here? Probably, Mr. Editor, if we knew more of what the Relief Committee is doing the ratepayers might be better satisfied. The ex- penditure for relief has reached con- siderable size and we want to steer clear, if possible, of the abuses which have apparently crept in other places. Now Mr. Editor, I’m not preaching Blue Ruinâ€"-far from it, but something will have to be done. Our taxes have been high and if we don’t watch the expenditure of every cent away goes our rate again, sky high. The matters I have mentioned may not seem of great importance, but I would like to hear from other rateâ€" payers. As a taxpayer every dollar on my tax bill counts these days, and when I think of any money being ex- ipended which is not absolutely neces- isary whether for relief or anything ‘else it makes me feel like a good imany more, just fed up. Then again would it not be better for the chairman of the Roads Com- mittee to give street cleaning work to some of the unemployed instead of giving it to men who do not need the work, while men on town relief stand around and advise them how to do the job. TAX PAYER THINKS TAXES SHOULD BE KEPT AT LOWEST POSSIBLE LEVEL TAX PAYER NOTE: Members of the local reâ€" lief committee report that three month’s residence is required in the village before relief is given. (Ed.) TAXPAYER !VICTORIA SQUARE Even though muddy roads are a matter of some concern these days and the weather is rather uncertain, movings and weddings go on just the same. Mr. Harold Mortson, who is now living on the farm to the North of the old home, eagerly awaits the joy that the coming months are to bring him While Mr. Gordon and Miss Ethel Mortson are endeavouring to get aecustomed to Victoria Square society. The young lady who is de- serting the fifth concession will need to watch her step on the muddy fourth. The monthly meeting of the J. F. and J. W. I. held last week drew a crowd of between 60 and 70 young people.

Frank’s hands almost grew Weary cutting the cords. Then after the speeches the storm burst in all its fury and the air was thick with confetti. However, the couple emer- ged smiling and with the good wishes of the community we feel they ought to be well initiated for the journey of life. The March meeting of the W.M.S. was a bright spot in last week’s activities. After the helpful prayer service and Bible verses at the open-‘ ing of the meeting the ladies were well prepared to receive the treat that followed. A lovely duet was sung by Mrs. H. McCague and Miss Pearl Ash. Mrs. Benton of the Chris- tian Fellowship Department of the W.M.S. from Toronto then spoke in- spiring those present to reconsecrate themselves to the work of Jesus Christ, to take the “die” out of de- pression and press on for the further- ance of His kingdom on earth. A delightful lunch was served under the supervision of the soeial committee, Mrs. Haig and Mrs. CaSeley pouring tea. We are sorry to report that it has been necessary to remove Miss Alice Hopper to the hospital for treatment. The sympathy of the community is with those of its members in their times of trial and we hope for the speediest recovery pessible The Y.P.S. had its usual good at- tendance on Sunday evening.
