Councillors Argue In Favor of Making It a Complete Job By the Construction of Curbs. The warren Paving Company com- linenced work at the south end of the village on Wednesday morning with a steam shovel excavating for the new T.T.C. tracks in, the centre of the roadway. Traffic is diverted along the Markham Road and up Church St. to Lorne Avenue and Richmond Sts., and everything is going smoothly ex- cept that the corner of Lorne and Church Streets is an exceptionally dangerous one due to the building on the corner which obstructs the View. The council have erected dan- ger signs, and‘ have stationed at man at the corner to direct traffic. ‘ “No parking” signs have also been erected along the detour streets in an effort to keep them clearefor traffic. It is estimated that the work will take a- bo'ut one month to complete. Yonge Street Pavemeni Herald Of New Era for Richmond Hill The contract was awarded to the Warren Paving Company~for the con- struction of two ten foot strips of pavement on either side of the T.T. C. tracks. It will be an asphalt ‘pavement and general satisfaction is lfelt that the contract is in the hands 1'of the Warren Paving people who are well known for the quality and deâ€" pendability of their work. The total cost. will be $33,751.00 for 4096 feet of pavement. The portion of this cost charged to Richmond Hill will be twenty-five per cent. of this amount less the costrofv 200 feet at the south of the village, cost of which will be iborn entirely by the Department as it is outside the corporation. Richmond Hill’s share will be approximately $8,- 1‘7. This will be reduced by the grant received from the county the amount of which is not definitely known and will not be known until after the Nov- ember session. The amount asked for was $8,000. The contract price of Councilor McLean thought that the town was already taxed heavily en- lough and that it was a deterrent to [the growth of the village. He had, 'compared them with other places as he travelled over the province and there was no question about it taxes here were high, and when that impre- |ssion gets abroad it does harm he said. At the regular meeting of the coun- cil on Monday night Councillors Herr- ington, Sloan and Baldock strongly expressed themselves as favorable to getting a price on the construttion of curbs and gutters through the busi- ness section of the town. They were of the opinion that this was the time to make the job complete by doing this work. “Let’s make a job of it" said councillor Sloan. Reeve Lunau vigor- ously opposed the suggestions as he felt that it would be a burden on the taxpayers of the village. Moreover if that additional expense was under- taken it would have to be submitted to the people l he said. “Let’s put it to the people then” said Councillor Sloan. “I’ve had no objection from the start to letting the people vote on it “said councillor Herrington.‘ Councillor Balâ€" doFk pointed out that the municipality was reasonably sure that the province and the county would take care of the strip of roadway in the centre. “Sure- ly” he said” we can undertake some obligation to make a finished job of it and I am sure that when the construcâ€" tion company have all their equipment ‘here the costs would not be a very serious item.” It was suggested that probably if the business section Were curbed the property could be taxed for a portion of the cost and the balance spread over the town. Reeve Lunau said he thought if the business men on ‘Yonge Street wanted curbs and gutt- ‘ers they should pay 100 per cent. of lthe cost. It was suggested that a six- ity per cent. and forty per cent. basis iwould be more fair. 833,751 includes the construction and installation of all necessary drainage. The T.T.C. tracks will be paved be- tween the rails similar to the other section of the road and the cost of this will be borne entirely by the T.T.C. This contract has also been secured by the Warren Paving Company and 'the local municipality has signed an agreement to take care of all maint- enance during the next fifteen years. Chorus of many voicesâ€"“Taxes are no higher here than anywhere else :considering our assessment." Councillor Baldockâ€"“There’s a good deal of that h igh taxes talk starts right in our own town.” Reeve Lunau suddenly closed all disâ€" cussion on the curbs and gutters pro- position before anything definite was decided by calling for the next busiâ€" ness. It is possible however that prices on the proposition will be se- cured and presented at the special meeting of the council ‘on Friday night for further discussion. If the price is considered reasonable a peti- tion may be circulated and the work ‘done as a local improvement on a per ‘centage basis to be agreed on later. Councillor McLean “It doesn’t come from me.” Harvest Home Services The Harvest Home and Thankâ€"Off- ering Services of Newtonbrook United Church, will take place on Sunday, September 25th and on Monday, the 26th.

Young, Miss Rena Topping read address and Mrs. Traviss, on behalf ‘of the‘ Ladies’ Aid of Zion United Church and friends in the neighbor- hood, presented Mrs. Nash with a ibeautiful clock.

Nash, y Todmorden, R.R. 1, Ontario iDear Mrs. Nash:â€" It is with a distinct sense of loss lthat we hear of your contemplated de- parture from this community. In your long residence here and readiness to help on every good cause, you have won a large place in the appreciation. not only of the members of Zion Unit- ed Church but also of every other member of this neighborhood. Your many talents, affection and zeal have found expression here and perhaps every office and position that you could possibly be given has at one time or another been given to you. iThis only shows to you the high es- teem you have won in this place and it will be a better index to you than anything else, how we shall miss you after you go. In every capacity and in every trust committed to you, you have exhibited the highest and noblest :character and service. It is a simple 'thing to say we are sorry that you are leaving this place; but we mean it. We can only hope that you will find (many friends and every comfort in the place where Providence shall cause ‘you to cast your lot. There will al- .’ways be a hearty welcome for you whenever you can find it in your pow- er to revisit this place. Your fellow members in Zion United Church and especially in the Ladies’ Aid will miss you but they will follow you earnestly with their prayers and wish you ever God's richest blessing and in these prayers and good wishes we include every member of your esteemed fam_ ily.
