The council disclaims any responsibility for the accident. Constable Thos. Rowntree was ap- pointed relief officer and school atten- dance officer. Arrangements we're completed to gravel Yongehurst, Spruce Avenue and Garden Ave. in accordance with petitions, and similar work will be done on May Avenue and Oxford St. but as the petitions were incomplete it will be done under the local im- proyement act. At the session'of the court of Re- vision there were six minor appeals, James McLean, Robt. Watson and John Hawstrauser waited on the council relative to a special grant to the King and Vaughan Plowmen’s {Association They pointed out that the first day of the Provincial match this year would be known as the “10- cal day” and the program and prizes would be provided by the three soc- ieties of the county. The King and Vaughan Association will need to raise about $400. A grant of $100 was given by the council as it was felt that it was a very worthy cause and that York County had been sing- ularly honored in being selected as the site for the 1927 match. Robt. Watson pointed out that it was not likely the council would be approachâ€" ed for a grant to the Junior Farmers contest this year as there was suf- ficient funds on hand to take care of the‘ competition this year: George McNair was allowed pay- ment for three sheep killed by dogs on May 26. He afterwards shot two dogs but as they had no tags he could not identify them. Edgar Phillips of Lot 34, Con. 4 was allowed $17 for a thoroughbred ewe killed by dogs on June 3. vision there were six minor appeals, All were by non resxdent owners and five of the 51x were confirmed. It was felt that it was imperative that the council engage another con- stable for the preservation of law and order in the community. It was point- ed out that owing to the township being in such close proximity to a large city there was ample work for two constables as there were many complaints of disorderly conduct in the different parts of the Township. Other applicants for the position were, Mr. Jones, Toronto, Geo. M. Hartley, Maple, Harry Woods, Maple Ernest Castater, Teston, Milton Pal- mer, Maple, Wm. G. Morrison, Maple Wesley Puterbaugh, Woodbridge and Geo. DeFerrari, Richmond Hill. 1’ Nine applications for the position of constable were received by the Vaughan Township Council at their regular meeting at Vellore on Mon- day last, and the appointment was granted to Samuel Ireland of Klein- lpurg. The pOsition was made vaâ€" cant by the suspension of Harry Chapman who has held the position since the beginning of 1926. The salary of the constable will be $130 per month and he will be required to devote his entire time to the work Sanluel Ireland ls Appointed Constable In Vaughan Townsth ‘of roadbuilding in Vaughan. The new truck which was purchased By the township is giving excellent satisfaction and is proving a great help in the Work as well as saving the township considerable money. So far this season it has gone over 2000 miles and Mr. McDonald as well as Road Work Progressing Favorably In Vaughan Twp. I “Road work in Vaughan is pro- gressing very favorably this year,” said, W. O. McDonald, road superin- tendent when interviewed by The Lib- eral this week. “Operations in all parts of the township are going ahead rapidly and if the season is a good one, the fall of 1927 should see a de- cided improvement in our roads. The people are co-operating with the council, and with me, to a degree that is highly satisfactory and this is one feature for which I am very grate- ful," he said. Mr. McDonald pointed lout that no difficulty had been ex- perienced in securing the necessary help to carry on work in the various sections of the township as the farm- ers and residents were always ready to turn out and help which greatly aided himself and the council. In times past certain work has had to be passed up because men or teams could not be secured but the, fact that this undesirable feature is'not noticeable this year augurs well for the futureI of roadbuilding in Vaughan. 7 | New Truck Is Giving Good Satisfaction and‘ Proves Itself a Good Investmén t.

A large break-. Chicken stealing in this district is carried on to an extent this year which is causing a great deal of un~ easiness not only to the farmers and poultry men but to the authorities as well who are anxious to devise some ways and means of putting an end to this despicable practice.

In intro- ducing the motion Deputy reeve Sti- ver explained that during the nights of May 31 and June 1 thieves visited six farms in the township and stole several hundred hens. The situation in his opinion was a serious one and he thought the council should take immedia action in the matter. He was ably supported in his contention by Councillor Honey who seconded the motion.
