Council A letter was received from the On- tario Highways Dept. enclosing che- que for $10.144 being the provincial ‘grant for work done in 1926. The regular October meeting of the Vaughan township Council was held in the Township Hall, Vellore on Mon- day, With Reeve Kellam in the chair and all the members present. . A by-law was passed fixing the last date for payment of taxes as Decem- ber 10 instead of December 14 which has been the date in previous years. Five per cent. will be added after the due date and eitizens of the township are urged on their notices to pay promptly and save the additional cost. By..]aws were passed appointing the township police as officers under the Government Control Act, and making provision for the construction of the roadway on Oxford Street at Elgin Mills under the Local Improve- ment Act. Road Superintendent MacDonald was instructed “to have cable guard rails constructed at Boyle’s Pond on the Maple sideroad. ‘ Mrs. Miller appeared before the council and complained that workmen had cut down valuable trees in front of her property at the corner of Mill Road and Yonge Street last winter. She pointed out that the damage to her property was very appreciable and that some of the trees cut were inside the then existing fence. She did not think the township had any right to cut the trees without her consent. Reeve Kellam stated that the council was very sorry if any good trees had ibeen cut because the instructions giv- {en were that only the brush and scrub- Eby trees should be cut and it was done with a view to improving the street. He maintained however that the coun- cil had complete control of trees which were on the townships roadway, and Ithat ’while regretting if some good trees had been cut did not feel that township was liable in any way. Road superintendent MacDonald stated that according to his recollection the only cutting done on the Mill Road was small scrubby trees and brush. This he said was the instructions he had given to the workmen.

In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud, Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the Shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
