Vaughan Township Council are of- fering $113 reward. for the apprehension and conviction of parties dumping old tins and other rubbish in the public highway. A word to the wise should be sufficient. A message over the ’pbonc states that Mr. E. E. VVilliariis. of Elgin Mills, shot a. grouiidliog that “'t‘lght’d 23 lbs.

The Village Council this week has given an application of road oil to Youge street between the Post Office crossing and the crossing opposite the Metropolitan Waiting Room. This is merely an experiment to see if the oil will keep the dust down at a reason- able cost. Councillor Sanderson. who did the sprinkling, says that the cost for‘each application could probably be. met by a frontage tax of two cents a. foot on propertyâ€"owners on each side of the street. Storekeepers and every- body interested are requested to exam- ine and Watch the. above piece of road and note their opinions of the test. A municipal council must. act on a peti- tion signed by two~thirds of the prop- erty owners on each side of the street. Departmental Examinations, Richmond Hill.
