To the Editor of The Liberal: As a citizen of Richmond Hill who travels in and out of Toronto daily, I was interested and disgusted on readâ€" ing the article in your paper of Thurs- day. December 51rd. in regard to the taking over by the Toronto Transporâ€" tation Commi sion of the suburban Yonge street radial service. Evident- ly the gentleman whose opinions were quoted never, or seldom. have to use the radial lines cithcr city or suburâ€" ban, or they surely Would not make such utterly false statements in some respects. If the T.T.C. is capable of providing an adequate. reliable and comfortable service. I wish they would get busy and demonstrate the fact on their To- ronto lines, then one might have some hope of what would happen if they took over the York Radials. “Re- liable and comfortable serviCc” so far as the T.T.C. is concerned is to laugh. The lowâ€"backed, hard, closely set seats of the T.T.C. cars are about the acme CANADA MUS T be Licensed Statl' Any Ford model may be purchased on easy payments from your local authorized Ford dealer.

Christmas Gift Certificate which enables the giver of a Ford to announce the gift in the most fitting manner. Deliveryg can also be arranged for any de- sired time on Christmas morning. of discomfort in seating accommoda- tion that the human mind could de- vise. Aided to this is the intense cold that passengers are forced to endure for a month or two every fall. Partic- ularly does this effect the suburban patrons. As for reliable, even an owl might smile at that. I have been travelling: daily for months on the Metropolitan line, and have never yet known them to vary more than two minutes from their scheduled time. Usually they arrivi and leave on the minute. I defy anybody, except Anâ€" anias. who is using the T.T.(‘., to make such a boast. Day after day I have waited on a College street corner from five minutes after 5 pm. to 5.15 and even 5.20 pm. for a Yongu street our of any description. \thn one does crme it is packed to the point of in- dcccncy. This is inexcusable on a city line at rush hours, but it is what citi- zens, at the mercy of the T.T.C., are having to put up with all the time. I find that I can walk from Queen's Park to Yo‘nge and Queen streets quicker than I can go by the Toronto (331' SE‘l‘VlCt‘. The bus lines offered some better mode of transit, but since I boarded one with the air blue with tobacco smoke recently, I have changed my mind. From a health standpoint the utter lack of decent will gladly ventilation could not be worse than in the city cars. I wonder how many of the mer- chants in Richmond Hill, for instance, realize that with the coming of the T.T.C, their taxes will jump to such an extreme that they will be in the same position as were many small business owners and residents along Yongc street when the city cars were extended to North Toronto, who had to sell their properties in haste, in many instances, several told me, at a great loss, because they could not meci the heavy taxation. In some case-.4 taxes jumped to $500. This also includsd properties adjaccnt‘to Yonge, cast and west. The question of transportation is a very serious one, and has many angles. all of which should be carcâ€" l'ully studied or suburban residents are likely to find themselves out of the fryingr pan into the fire. It the object of Richmond Hill busi- ness people (and others) isoincreased population, they would do well to turn their attention to the unsightly spots in the village. If dilapidated out- buildings were pulled down or re- paircd, some of the sidewalks im- proved, and a satisfactory water sup- ply arranged, it would do more to bring city people north than any ‘fivlk ‘ cmmmmmmmmmmasrmwmczar. changes in transportation can accomâ€" plish. The class of people who can make the village rich are the Class who demand beauty in their surroundâ€" ings. Richmond Hill with its wealth of tine old trees, wonderful sunsets. and beautiful surrounding country. could be made a beauty spot that city people not only would flOCli t0, b1“ would gladly pay big prices to secure a home so convenient to a large cenâ€" tre like Toronto, yet share that long- ing for space and the love for a beauâ€" tiful environment that has root in practically all of us, rich and poor. could be satisfied. It is also, now, a well established fact that the suburbs for health are those to the north of Toronto.â€"-Yours for an ever-better Richmond Hill, E. M. MASON.

CAMPBELL After an illness of one month, the death of Mrs. William Campbell 0c- Curred at the residence of her daugh- ter, Mrs. W. A. Orr, Monday, in her 7_5th year. Mrs. Campbell was a na- tive of Simcoe County and had been living with her daughter for about one month. M RS. MARGARET MILLER Mrs. Margaret Miller, 92 years old, widow of James B. Miller, and a resi~ dent of Markham Township for many years, passed away Monday at the residence of her son-in-law, H. Rowe, of the Don Mills Road, Todmorden.

OPENED By the completion of a large and well appointed hall, manager Mc- Clelland has added another to the at- tractions which have made the Capitol Block the hub of North Toronto’s so- cial and business activities. The new hall, which is on the third floor, will be available for dances, en- tertainments, or meetings. The main room, with soft grey walls and pol- ished oak floor, will accommodate a. crowd of about 500. Adjoining it, are cloak rooms, rest rooms, buffet, and completely equipped kitchen. It would be difficult to find in the city a public meeting place more handâ€" some in finish or delightful in point of conveniences. Good N atured Wife _I_’referred An interesting debate was held by the Y. P. S, in the United Church on Monday evening, the subjecr. being: “ReSolved that a good Natured Un- tidy Wife. he preferred to a Critical Tidy Wife.“ Mr. Price and Miss Cowie took the affirmative and Mr. Morley and Miss D. Hart the negative. The debate showed much talent and thought. About 120 people listened and of course the younger men decid- ed the kind of a. life partner they would choose. The affirmative Won the decision. Lefty Laskay, December 17.
