Oakville, Sept. l4 -- It becomes apparent more and more each day that tho Oakville section of Water town comes iil for little considera- ton from the town fathers. Now new complaint arises which certain ly has just foundation and should warrant consideration from all Oak vile voters.
 Watertown Schol children arc brought to school in buses and properly taken care of without ex- pense to the parents. But Oakville must pay an eighty-flve cents, (8b) carfare each week for each child going to high school from here. This, of course, Is completely in line with other and all consideration shown this district, but can be remedied. This remedy consists of Oakvillc taking @ united stand means also that everyone must vote.
