On Monday evening last, Dec. 7th, a public meeting of the citizens of this village was held in the Council Chamber for the purpose of taking into considera- tion the estimates furnished by the en- gineer of the Northern Railway for the proposed branch to- connect Richmond Hill village with Richmond Hill station. rl‘he chairman opened the proceedings by reading the correspondence and esti- mates received from the managing di- rector of the Northern Railway. The estimates went to show that the right of way could be bought, and the road could be built and put in good lnnning order for the sum of $26,145. On motion, Mr. W. Pugsley (Reeve) was called to the chair, and Mr. M. Teefy acth as secretary. A lengthy discussion then took place, in which many of the prominent citizens joéped. i In answer to a question by Mr. I. Crosby, the chairman said that no guarâ€" antee was given that. the Northern R. R. CD. would assume control of the branch if it were built. Mr. Andrew Newton thought that if good terms could be made with the Northern. and a substantid bonus be received from Markham, Vaughan and Richmond Hill, a. private company might be formed to raise fibe balance, and if properly handled might prove a good in- vestment. Mr. J. K. Falconbridge suggested that before the village made an offer of a bon- us, it be ascertained what amount Mark- ham and Vaughan townships and the Northern Company ire likely to give for the construction. He had his doubts as to whether a railroad would be a. benefit to the village, as it often proved a check to their prosperity, and insianced Maple and Holland Landing as exmmples. He had an idea that the estimate was too low, and did not think the road could be built. for $6,500 a. mile. Mr. J. Brown said. he diiflnot wish to throw cnld water on the unJertaking, but did not wish to be taxed too heavily. He thought that the township if Markham should give a liberal b'mus aflit would be the means of establh‘ {112 fle‘hwd 51mm market for the produce of farmers of the west part. Th8 chairman thought that bath Malk- ham and Vaughan would feel it to be to their interests to give a, liberal bonus. Mr. B. Redditt said he believed the. estimates could be depended upon, and explained why the branch could be built cheaper than ordinary roads. In the first place, the right. of way would be only half the width generally used. The mils could be got from the company at $15 per ton. The road being short no water tanks,nor scarcely buildings of any kind, would be required. A good part of the right of way would be given free of cost. The rolling stock, such as passenger and frieght cars. would be furnished by the company free, And a. suitable engine could be purchased for about $2,500. Dr, \Vilson thought if a railroad were obtained property would rise in value, otherwise it would depreciate in value. It was suggested thin $5000 be raised by the village as a bonus. Another Bug; geatipn made it $10,000.A The following was then put to the meeting:â€"Moved by Mr. Brown, second- ed by Mr. McConaghy, that the munici- pality of Richmond Hill raise a. bonus of $5,000 to assist in building a. branch railway from the villnge to connect with the Northern at Richmond Hill depot. After some quescibns in reference to the taxes, Mr. Skeele thought he could payilxiishjtrg of $19,000: 7 Mr, J. Palmer advised those who wishâ€" ed to kill the railroad to vote for a bonus of $5,000, as that would settle the matter at once, as for himself he was prepared to support a bonus for twice that amount. Moved as an amendment by Mr. P. G. Savage, seconded by Mr. W. D. Powell, that the bonm be $10,000. The amend- ment was carried, Mr. Mononaghy voting against the original motion. A committee consisting of Messrs. W. H. Pugsley. Andrew Newton, W.Trench, J. Brown, J., Palmer, B. Redditt and I. Crosby was appointed to wait on the Councils of Markham .and Vaughan town- ships, and ascertain what bonus they will be Willing to grant. Oct. 292mm Rear half of lot ‘25, 2nd Con.

WM.TRENCH, Richmond Hill or to JAS. DUNTON, Pmpriepm, n. Britnpin p. 0 To the Editor of THE LIBERAL: SIa,â€"â€"l have never been able to see the utility of so much hoelug on the York Roads, or why a stone road should be hoed any more than a. gravel road. The surface of a gravel road grinds up much the same as one composed of broken stones. No one thinks of scraping the centre of a gravel track off as fast as it gets fine and muddy. Yet many thous- ands of dollars are every year spent in hoeing the centre 011' the York Roads. Have the members of our York- County Council ever taken time to think this matter over? I think that this continual hoeing destroys the road. It makes it hollow in the centre. I have seen the water dammed up in the centre dorinv this fall so as to form a. small slough. I would say, “‘keep the centre full, put all on and take nothing ofli,‘ and the centre will becometull and crowning, so that dirt will wash off in wet weather and blow off in dry weather.” If the ele- ments will clean the road-why should the County pay out about four thousand dol- lars a year for scraping them 1 And bear in mind, the loss is not in wages to the hosts only. but they hoe off valuable ma- terial. They hoe of}: a good deal of good broken stone. They hoe off much stone that is only just ground to the fineness of fine gravel, and some that is completely into sand. Now, all. this material is val- uable to the road centre. It raises it up; it forms a smooth surface. It keeps the holes fall; it cements the new layer when put on. Therefore, I, say that the loss is not only the men’s wages, but the road is worn out, made rough and kept con- stantly rickety and needing repair. The fine material is hoed out of the hollows, and heavily loaded teams go banging along and pound the road up. The road has cost fifteen hundred dol- lars a mileone year after another next the city. (See report for 1877.) Boeing can be very easy, and there is money in it for the. mad men. They are allowed to do as they like, and of course they work for their own interest. How do thev do? Scrape all clean off the road when it is hard and dry, when the ground beneath is baked and the surface of the road is at its hardest, and when the team- ing is at be heaviest. The conditions are now made as favorable as possible for crushing the new layer, which rolls about a hard surface below and heavily weight- ed wheels above, and as a consequence the new lever soon passes into sand, which, with some droppings from the horses and mud brought upon the road, after the next. rain forms an excuse for another hoemg. Consequently, on the York Roads is practised a. system of do- ing and undoing, which may be expressed in two words:â€"â€"“ Grind and hue.” \Ve have a. book road maker for a superin- tendent, and 1 cannot see that a. book road maker is any better than a book farmer, who practises no common sense. You may say, then how would you do 7 I would manage tliemad as Mr. Parnlialn does his road from the Holland Landing to Bradford. Do no hoeing, put on the stone when the road was soft and needed holes to be filled. In this no raking, picking 0H and constant pottering and tinkering, and putting in time to make wages is needed. You will ask: \ley don’t Mr. Stokes, our superintendent! do as Mr. Parnham does ? Answer: Mr. Stokes dips into our pockets, while Mr Parnham dips in- to his own. Mr. Stokes draws out $1,- 500 a mile per mmum,wl1ile Mr. Parnham draws out less than $100. Some persons have pmiodical attacks of Canadian cholera, dysentery or Diarrhoea, and have to use great precaution to avoid the disease. Change of water, c.»oking, and green fruit, is sure to bring on m.- tacks; To such persons we would recom. mend Dr. J. D. Kellogg’s Dysentery Cor- dial as being the best medicine in the market for all summer complaints. If H. few drops are taken in water when the aymproms are noticed no further trouble will be experienced. Richmond Hill, Dec. 9th, 1885. 1 Ralph Page, 1 Thomas Gordon, 2 Wm.
