Have Permission To Widen Gauge At» a meeting of the Ontario Rail- way Board held on Wednesday the T. T. C. were granted permission to chan- ge the gauge of the Metropolitan radiâ€" als to conform with the tracks in the city of Toronto, and although it is ex- pected that work will be commenced in the very near future T. T. C. officials interviewed by the Liberal were unable to say just when work would commen- ce. The change of gauge will be We]- ‘comed by the entire North Yonge St. ‘district who are looking for a much improved service with a possiblity of lower fares sometim in the future ‘when the system gets ell established under T.T.C. management. Mr. Har- ,vey general manager of the T.T.C. has stated that the change will have effect of enabling the commission to give greatly improved and more comfort- lable service at a reduced cost. a ten foot pavement will be laid on either side of the car tracks which will be in the centre of the road. It s also likely that the centre of the T.T.C. tracks will be paved. One side of the road will be Constructed at a time which will enable traffic to go through the town athough an effort will prob- ‘ably ‘be made to divert a lot of the 1through traffic albng some other high- way. The contract for the paving of Yonge Street will be let on Friday and work will be commenced as soon as possible. Department éurveyors have been here during the week wlil have completed their work in the course of a couple of days. Although it cannot be definitely stated it is probable that Although a .good many farmers in York County have finished haying there is still a considerable quantity in ‘the fields and the recent heavy rains made the saving of the crops 3. real problem. Frequent and heavy showers ‘have also delayed harvesting of the wheat crop, and have caused some lodg- ing in the grain crops. Prospects howâ€" ever, remain exceptionaly good, sub- ject to more favorable weather being forthcoming. Sping grains promise a good return, and the ample rainfall has helped the crops of grain and roots. 1927 Craps Promise An Abundant Yield Indications are that the corn-borer is getting good work although corn ‘ fields are not as plentiful as in former years. Many farmers have turned to sweet clover as a subsitute, and when cutting for hay it has been found ad- vantageous to cut with a binder and to stock up until cured. It is handled ‘much better this way, and can be car- ‘cd for in bad weather more easily than by curing loose. Barley seems to be a igood crop; cutting has commenced in ieastern counties, and will be general,! this week. Apples are looking fair, . ibut a heavy crop is not anticipated. ' iPastures remain wonderfully good for ‘this time of year, and a splendid after- math of clover and alfalfa is reported from most districts. Potatoes give promise of being a good crop, as also do mangles and turnips. There seems to be a good showing of raspberries all over, but cherries are light. All live stock are doing well, but milk flow is naturally decreasing. I As for the seed crops, alsike promises very good, but alfalfa production is likely to show a considerable reduction, partly owing to rank growth and lodging. RICHMOND HILL, ONT THURSDAY. JULY 28. Work Will Be Commenced in The Mixed Tournament for W.H.

Innes and Son which was erected about one hundred years ago by the late John Atkinson, ‘has been sold to a great grandson of‘ the original owner, Mr. G. H. Duncan f the LangStaff Supply Co. The mill is surrounded by much of historic inteâ€" rest and its sale and removal will doubtless recall many interesting me- mories to old timers of the district. The mill will be removed to the lLangstaff Supply yards at Langstaff and when rebuilt will be complete in every respect and grinding and gener- al mill work will (be carried on. This adds another department of activity to this enterprising North Yonge Street firm and it should prove a great con- venience to farmers of this district. We bespeak for the Langstaff Supply Co. the generous patronage of the people ’of this community. cial Highway and coimty police who patrol and have checked. up conditions [carefully during the last two months ipai‘ticularly. Over the week-ends the Kingston road, Lake Shore road, Dun- das Highway, and North Yonge street accommodate up to 2,000 cars per hour ‘g‘oing each way.

Traffic Heavy 0n Yonge St. This Year The traffic on Yonge street from Hogg’s Hollow north has been beyond all police anticipation, at times over 2,000 cars passing a given mark in one hour. It is becoming a common oc- curence for the county and provincial police to have to regulate traffic into ‘the city from as far north as Wilow- ,dale in North York township. With th'e' highway ,now opened through to Montreal without a detour, Kingston road has the traffic like that of Yone street although great relief is provided by the “Y” of the road in Scarbéro of ,Queen street and Danforth ave. Yonge street catches all, and there is usually quite a traffic con- gestion. Whilst numerous accidents have oc- curred the police state they are com- paratively few ni comparsion with the huge amount of traffic. Stuti’eba‘ker Special Six Touring. Langstaff 1927 Oak Ridges W. I. Held Successful Lawn Social “Craig-more,” the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John H. C. Durham, adjoin- ing Bond Lake Park on Yonge Street, was a picture of loveliness both before and after the electric lights were swit- ched on, on Tuesday evening, July 26th when around five hundred people gathered together at the lawn social, held under the ausices of the Oak Rid- lges Branch of the Women’s Institute. Happy Evening Spent at “Craigmore " the beautiful home of Mrs. and Mrs. J. H. C. Durham, Bond Lake. The balminess of the evening made strolling about the spacious lawn and gardens a delight before the entertainâ€" ment commenced. Many lingered at Loch Bheag watching the playing of the schools of large gold fish, which at this hour in the evening come from their hiding place beneath the beauti- ful White water lilies, seemingly knowâ€" ing that their enemy, the king fisher has retired for the night. The chairman, Mr. Morgan Baker, Reeve of Whitchurch, in his opening} address, said. “We hear a very great deal about those who win in contests on the land, in the water and in the air but practically nothing is being told about the good that is being quietly‘ done by the Women’s Institutes throu- ghout the land in educational, social land charitable lines. These women do not confine their work to their own neighborhood, they branch out and give a helping hand wherever it is most needed in the towns, cities and in the sparsely North Country.” .
