Interment �p cemetery, The first tender was $6.00 a single • cord. By asking for lower tenders, they got it lowered to $5.55 a single iy.o O N cord. The party that got the contract j for delivering the wood • into the schooly'a.rd this year, delivered it into the same yard • •last year for $4.95 a single cord. 'A year or so ego he de- • R ' livered wood into the same yard for $4,.25 a single cord. At `the rate .ft is going up in price, God only knows `what the price will be 'next year. 3'he` ratepayers' -of School Section No. 5, Township of Hibbert, have oust got to grin and bear it; as they have only an , old cast, iron •boxstove • that isn't suitable for coal. And the Goof ernment'"'won't let them change their" heating ,equipment. They are also warning the people there may be a shortage of coal. The highest price known to have been paid for wood on the stump in this district is $2.50 a single cord, which is $3.50 less• than the contract price the ratepayers are paying at the present time, as there are 20 single cords of wobd called for in the contract. If _the ratepayers would get together and cut and de- liver the wood into the schoplyard they would save themselves $60.00 a year in taxes. And it is possible they could buy the wood from the same farmer that it is being bought of at the present time.
