The minutes, of the :est present. t meeting were read and adopted en motion of Higgins and Priest. Mr. 1" evi Rand s was present and asked . fora rebate on his oil tax, clamming that seine of his' neighbors were not assessd foran oil tax. The matter was left over until the next meeting to, be looked into. The auditors' re- port was ready and was read yf tto McArthur, giving a' statement finances of ,the town, the Hydro board, school board .;and library board. The audit was accepted and the auditors ordered to be paid. A motion was put on the books, moved 'by Higgins, seconded by Campbell, 'that this council go on record show- ing its disapproval of the action of -the Bell Telephone Co., in attempting to raise its rates, and that acopy this mil b ,..tlt>&.'td3titario ail a' Boa a" W „discussion R w ' ac - r s thetk r e as ' took k P I c ddtg tions increfusiizg to rent the 'Hall to the Young People's Society of the Presbyterian church. It seems that the, League of the United Church were putting on a box social on the evening of Feb, 16th and rented the hall for that occasion, with the undet- th . hall a the previousstaninthatyeveningwereoforve a ret hearse] as was the usual custom. The Y.P.S. of the Presbyterian church were putting on a box social in their own church on Feb. 15th and then changed their. minds and decided to put it on in the Orange Hall. Find- ing it impossible to get a piano up into the Orange Hall they wished then to rent the town hall on the iAfonday evening, Feb. 15th. for their box social, or the evening previous to the box social of the United church. The Clerk explained his posi- tion and stated that it didn't look fair to the League of the United church to rent the hall for the same kind of en entertainment to be put on the night before the United church put theirs on, and the United church needing the hall both evenings. He offered them the use of the hall the first night convenient. At the' last wastiappointed council M manager of ther. n all, so some members thought 4 would not be advisable to interfere with his management so no action was taken. A grant of25 was made to Hensall seed show and spring show. Six copies of the Municipal World and the auditors' report was ordered printed. A number of accounts were passed and ordered paid. The col- lector reported a small amount of 1925 taxes not paid and was given to March lst to collect them. The meet- ing then adjourned to meet again on March 2nd.

JACK HOLT, BILLIE DOVE and NOAH BEERY IN Zane Grey's STORY OF THE RUGGED WEST Wild Horse Mesa Every wandering rider of the Old West has a strange story to tell.; of that vast table land, The Wild Horse Mesa, that majestic and un - scalable wall where magnificent wild horses have their habitat; of wild horse hunting and capturing, and capturing of horse thieves; Indians,' perilous trails, drama and romance, A great writer, A great cast, a cti3rmina ntcture. ,s�tatstaitttttts�r�tr ,The Public's Chief Concern'` IN the Matter of telephone service -we believe the public's chief concern is in two points :— [1] People want to know that they can .. count upon getting a complete tele- phone service of high quality, day and night, now and in the future. [2] People want such service at a price that is as low as sound business prac- tice. permits; and less than the value of the service received. These points are the essence of true public service, and this company ,is just as deeply con- cerned ill them as is the pblic. Qat the present time, as we have explained, an increase -in rates is needed to assure the con- tinuance of the kind of service our subscribers require. . The reasons are;-- [1] re;—[1] Our earnings per telephone have de- clined, due to the great development of lower rate service, such as two- party -line. [2] Large additions to plant at present- day prices, as compared with the low price levels of a few years ago, have increased the fixed charges' to be pro- vided from our earnings. [3] The low rate of depreciation,suggested by the Board of Railway Commission- ers, as a temporary measure, is new . known to be inadequate to•protect.the investment. 'A reasonable adjlfstrnent of the wide differ- ence between present telephone rates and the cost of doing business is an obvious necessity. Such technical subjects as property valttation, rate of return, and depreciation expense, have an important part in determining telephane rates. Casual discussion of such subjects •is often misleading for it can deal only briefly with matters that must be gone into in great detail to be clearly understood. an' These and all other factors will `be presented in 491 detail to be fully considered .b e the ':proper public authority, the Board of Railway Com- missioners for Canada.
