Bureau of Statistics issued Jane 17th, showing the areas sown to grain and bay crops this spring reveals the fact that there is a, deceeased acreage in the Dominion of 395,402 acres. flaying is now well on, the way and is a good crop. Fall wheat also looks exceedingly well, and will soon, be ready for the binder. The spring grains look ea, little short in, the straw but otherwise are doming along well. On the whole farming prospects are above the average, The Brussels Post commenting on the proposed immense steel plant lo-° eating in Goderich wonders what llur- on County taxpayers received for the the dollars repent on the County Coun- cil ouncil delegation to Ottawa, asking for harbor improvements to boost the same steel plant ? Public bodies •of- ten spend other aeople's money more feeely than they would "shell.out" their own far the same purpose," BELONG TO PROPERTY OWNERS A .fact that does 'not seem to be generally recognized is that a tree panted in front of a .ni?ene of prop- ene belongs to this' owner of the prop erty and es .not subject to :municipal eat of it is very clearly stated in the Ontario Tree Planting Act, which ears; "Trees so planted (by awake pee, nark commissioner, or otherwise) Ett highways, become the property of tins owner ,of the property adjacent u• the h;:ghwa.y and nearest the tree so ppan:ed, Such .s the case alio with any ,tree left standing on the high- way." The same act allows any mun- icipality to pass by-laws for the fol- lowing per, oses ;—"To regulate the eeanting of trees on highways. To prevent the planting of any t.ndesir- able species. To provide for the re- moval of trees planted on highways contraryt to law," WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION ACT AMENDED A'teention is called to the &lowing important amendments made at the last session of the Legjslature to the Workmen Compensation, Act ;--. The widow's monthly pension is raised from $20 to $30, ant the allow-. anew for a child, where the ,e�vidow is living. trona ,$5 to $7.50 and. the max- imum to all dependants from $40 to $60. in Go far as the 55 per cent. of average earnings permits of these in- creases; and !the 55. per cent. limita- tion imita- , tto n is at.. any any case to reduce. the widow to less. than 20 per cente nor so long as the total does, not exceed $40, is to reduce achild to less than S5 where there is a widow, or $16' were there .is none. The former flat allowance was less adequate under present conditions, than when, the act was passed in 1914. The increase in wages automatically increased the workman's compensation while leav- ing the widow's and children's allow- ances the same. Alccvdents happen- ing on or after April 24, 1919, will, be governed by the new scale; Medical aid is new to be provided as long as lieges?story instead of for a period of one month. Exne,r•i;ence has shown that the limitation was un.reas- anable and unsatisfactory, the work man being fess able to pay for sube sequeut medical aid, than, for the first month. Numbers of employers urg- ed rdcd the amendment which has new been made. The change should alsio assist in arrangements for satisfactory medi- cal services; none butt the most reli- able and capable :doctors should be chosen. Contributions from workmen for any ‘of this medical acid are unlaw- ful and any contract with dolgtoss or others must be revised accordingly.
