Ontario The Town Fathers Held Regular Council Meeting The September meeting of the Rich- mond Hill council was held in the clerk’s office with Reeve Lunau in the} chair and all the members present. Mr. George Forrester and Mr. A. E. Jacks of the Ajax Realty Company who have purchased and sub-divided the Reaman property on Richmond St. 1 appeared before the, council and pre- sented the plans of the subâ€"division which were satisfactory and accept- ed by the municipality. Two new streets are shown on the plan, Forest \Avenue and Hall Street which is a continuation of Hall Street which runs just west of the HighSchool. It was decided to commence the grading and necessary work to provide drainage at once. Mr. Forrester ‘also intim- ated that they were desirous of hav- ing sidewalks built. The reeve poin- ted out however that it would be necâ€" essary to have a petition presented and it was doubtful if the walks could be built this year as the council had other petitions which must be consid- ered in the order in which they were presented. Fire chief H.J. Mills wanted to know who had authority to lend equi- pment from the fire hall. He wanted the point decided by the council be- cause he felt that he was responsible for it and if it was let out without his permission it made a very awkward situation. l He had just discovered fifty feet of good hose which had been taken from the fire hall and when re- turned was practically ruined. “What would happen if when we wanted to use the equipment at a fire we found that it had been lent by someone? said the chief. Councillor Baldock stated that he had secured through the town foreman a piece of what he thought was old hose for the use of the Orrâ€"â€" Clark construction Company who did the work on Yonge Street at the south end of the village. “The company a- greed to do the work of sacrifying the road at no cost to the town provided we would let them have sufficient wat_ er for their work south of the town. It was a good bargain and in order to let them have the water from the hydâ€" rant we had to get them the hose. I understood it was an old section and it was well taken care of because it Was taken in every night. I do not 'understand how it was ruined,” said councillor Baldock. On motion of councillors Sloan and Herrington it was decided that no equ- ipment should be taken from the fire hall without the consent of the fire chief. The discussion on the fire hose led to the introdiiction of the question of the truck attending fires outside the municipality, it was pointed out that an agreement had been made with the I Township of Vaughan whereby the' village would be rccompensed for the use of the engine when attending fires in Vaughan Township. Markham however had refused to agree to such arrangement. The opinion was ex- pressed that this was a very unfair at- ‘ titude to take in as much as the tax- payers of the village Were called upon to keep up a fire truck for the protec- tion of outsiders who paid nothing to- wards it. It was hard to refuse to go to the assistance of a man when his buildings werL on fire and it would be impossible to barter with him at such a time to ascertain whether or not he was willing to pay for the services. Councillors Baldock and McLean Were appointed a committee to interview the Markham council in an effort to come to a satisfactory agreement. FEE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONT. A communication was received from the Board of Health to the effect that there had been \complaints about a party in town selling milk contrary to the milk by-law. The matter will be brought to the attention of the offen- der. C.B. Graham complained that a man had entered on his property under in- structions of the Weed Inspector and had destroyed a quantity of hay for which he would ask compensation from the council. Councillor McLean said that he had inspected the work and he found that any damage to hay was very slight and was necessary in the cutting of the weeds which had been complained of. L. S. Yoels of Toronto, wrote the council advising that he would make a claim against the town for injuries re- ceived by his mother-imlaw who was‘ hurt while riding in his car through the village. He pointed out that he was travelling at a very low rate of tion speed but that in going over the rough stretch of road the lady bumped her head on the top of the car and hurt her head and back. He expressed the opinion that it was nothing short of criminal to leave a road in such condi- Claim For Damages 'Will Be Entered As a Result of the Rough Road. clerk was instructed to write the Hydro to have the pole at the cor- ner of Church and Lorne Avenue movâ€" ed, to a point decided on by the coun- cil. This pole has been the subject of contention for a long time and its re- moval will free the corner from a very objectionable feature. The question of the request for sal- ary by Constable Sheardown was brought up but was laid over until a special meeting at which Mr. Shear- down Will be requested to be present. There was some discussion as to whether or not Mr. Sheardown was a village constable. Councillor McLean pointed out that he was appointed a couple of years ago by the council but he would consider that the appoint- 7ment was just for the year. “The apâ€" pointment was not for life” he said. lll‘he reeve stated that he did not want ‘anyone to work for the village for nothing but he thought there should be an agreement and statement from the constable as to work done. The opinion was expressed that as a coun- ‘ty constable Mr. Sheardown was paid in accordance with any cases brought before the court. Mr. Sheardown was reported to be of the opinion that he ‘did a great deal of work for the vill- age for which he did not get any pay from the court. Councillors Herrington and Sloan complained of the inconvenience which had been caused in the town by the or- der of the reeve changing the clocks 'to standard time on September 4 in- i ‘stead of waiting until the change was 1 made in Toronto and throughout this 1 district. Mr. William Davies askedl the reeve if the question of daylightl saving as voted on by the people did not call to have the time coincide with 1 the city of Toronto. He said that this was his recollection of the question and he did not think Reeve Lunau had any right to throw the whole town out of gear by reverting to standard time before Toronto. The reeve stated that :he was unable to answer the questoin definiteley but he was of the opinion that it was always understood that it should change back before the com- mencement of school. Councillor Balâ€" dock stated that it should be settled clearly one way or the other for all time and save this misunderstanding every year. Mr. J.A. Greene who was present also voiced his objections to the change and pointed out several cases of inconvenience which resulted from it. Reeve Lunau explained that he had first secured the opinion of the two school principals and all the mem_ bers of the council individually and was of the opinion that he was acting wisely in the interests of the greatest number. Councillor Herrington was of the opinion that such a matter was [of sufficient importance to call a [meeting of the council when the subâ€" ject could be discussed. There had been too much of this ringing up over the telephone he said. Operations will be commenced in the near future on the construction work at the waterworks where a pipe line will be laid to the head of the pond from the pumping station. Land has been expropriated and a special meet- ing will be held this week when arâ€" rangements will be made for letting the contracts.

Reeve Lunau to Councillor Baldock â€"-Same Question. Councilllor Baldockâ€"“Do 'what you like; I don’t ‘care what you do,” or words to this effect, (No decisive answer). Reeve Lunau to Councillor McLean â€"Same Question. Councillor McLeanâ€"“It doesn’t eff_ ect me any; it makes no difference to me, whatever the others think, I’m satisfied,” or words to this effect. No decisive answer. Reeve Lunauâ€"All right gentlemen,1 there are two strongly opposed to the change, and two don’t care which way it goes, so I will issue a proclomation that the Village revert to old time on Sunday night in accordance with the opinion of the majority of the council. To say the least this is slipâ€"shod procedure, and it is about time busi- ness like methods were used in con- ‘ducting the affairs pertaining to the village interests.

Maple The Business of Agriculture FARMING is more than an occu pation; it is a highly Commercialized business which requires careful plan- ning and thoughtful execution. Bountiful production is necessary but much effort is wasth unless the bus- iness cfdisposing of the year's out- put is properly managed. In con- ducting the business of the farm the Standard Bank can play a prominent and useful part.

SEPTEMBER 15,7 The new act was to abolish the bootâ€" llegger and do away with drinking by the young people. We have evidence that it has succeeded in doing neither. Young men, too young to legally purâ€" chase liquor are seen under its awful influence and it is apparent that they are getting it from illicit sources. No later than last week several young Imen, Well under twenty I would judge caused a disturbance on the streets of Thornhill which 'was an utter dis- grace. We see men who under the O.T. A. making a determined and at least partially successful fight against the demon of drink once again thrown a- mid the temptation of easy sale. The results may easily be seen in unhappy 'homes and wrecked lives. I think it behoves those who advoe cated Government control to see that a serious and determined effort is made to enforce it. If it must continue as we have seen it it is time temperance people awoke in an effort to have this legislation wiped off the books. We do not have to go far afield to see the effects of the liquor evil under so called Government Control. A 1eo_ pard cannot change its spots and by taking whiskey from the bar room to the Government store cannot rid it of its curse. Whether it comes from the government warehouse or from the il- licit operator’s dive it still wrecks lives ruins good happy homes and drives men away from all that is good noble and upright in life. From what we have seen of Govern- ment Control in Thornhill it has not been a success and I hope that all lovers of Temperance will align them- selves against the liquor traffic which apparently is gaining‘ such ground in this great province of Ontario. “TEMPERANCE” Oven-kist HIE MODERN ARROWROOT Include Oven-Ids: Biscuits in Your Order It contains maltâ€"to aid diges’ tion!
