Merchants all over the eountry are
making zt strong protest against the
irpt>s tion of the proposed stamp tax
on receipts for sums of over $10 which
is to come into effect on Jan. eat next.
So many stamp taxes become a work
and a worry to business men, and it
es considered that evel% an increase in
the already high sales tax would be
better;

GOOD) ROADS COST MONEY
IN HURON COUNTY,
That wa are spending very large
sums 01 money in Huron, for gct�d
roads came to light at the December
meeting of the County Council Last
week, when it was found that the ex-
penditure for good roads was $166,000
Warden Trewartha said that was go-
ing tire Emit. We would say it was
ewers, beyond the limit, In answer to
a- qu��stibn as to who was responsible,
the Warden said, "I have been here
four yeare and a.. a,n haven't yet got
answar to that qst on that is sales-
factory
ales-
fac tory to me."
I3. \ti', F. 13eacers of Exeter, chair-
man of the Good Roads. Cornm�.sson,
then spoke to the question and same,
' A.t the present time I am unable to
give nary satis,factory answer to the
question, A. short time ago Task-
ed, th.e engineer how our expendi;tur.e
were coming and rece',,ved the reply
that w:. were ,,eeel in. "Jur estianat•.'a
The commission had asked the engine
eer at the beginning of the year to
keep the work well, within, the estim-
ates, Thus, when the Warden lee
formed 'me that we., ha.d spent $160,000
and that there were $15,000_ of accounts
unsigned, it was a shock to me, and I
can't give an ,explanation just now."
Reese Beavers said further that the
patroirnen did not send in aeeoumits
regnlerly and at was hard to know
What was going on.
Reeve W, H. Coates of• Usborn,e
suggested that ,patrolmen did not send
in accounts for ;•ear, the, engineer would
.stop the work' in. that section,
Reeve. A. H. Neeb' p4 Stephen said,
"1 am satisfied that the, engineer has
instructed the .patrolmen to keep down
the .expenditure. Some of these pat-
roamers have the idea that they are
their own bosseis, and that they can
