Municipal figures for the year 1926 compiled and recently published by the Bureau of Municipal affairs of the On- tario Government reveal some valuab- le information and comparisons in some cases are very interesting.

Markham village with a population of only 945 has a busi- ness assessment of 25,262, as comparâ€" ed to 12,400 in Richmond Hill.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1927 AN UFA JOE BAKER Notice was received that the expro- priation proceedings in regard to cer’" tain land used by the town for water- works extensions this year would commence in Judge Denton’s Cham- bers at the City Hall on Friday of this Week and the Reeve, members of the council, village clerk, Medical Ofl"- icer of Health were instructed to at- tend. A.E. Glass applied for exemption from water frontage rates as he poin- ted out his land was used for farm purposes. It was pointed out that the lot in question contained only about seven acres whereas nothing under ten acres can be assessed as farm land. No action was taken therefore as the property not being assessed as farm land was not entitled to exempâ€" tion. Alf Mills Dufferin Street wrote the council stating that inasmuch as the municipality had constructed another tile drain on the north side of Duffer- in Street without having a proper out- Councillor Baldock drew attention to the nuisance of boys riding bicycles on the sidewalks and characterized the practice as a great nuisance. He thought action should be taken to see that it was stopped. It was pointed out that certain youths Were appre- hended for this offence recently and that if the nominal penalty then im- posed did not serve as a lesson there would possibly be other prosecutions. The danger of allowing parking on the west side of Yonge Street during paving operations was discussed at some length and in the interests of safety it was decided to have signs erected forbidding the practice. It was pointed out that with a two way traffic on that side it was very dangâ€" erous to have a car parked at the curb and it was the opinion of the members that the general public would gladly co-operate with the council in this re- gard. There is ample parking space on any of the side streets and motor- ists are asked to heed the signs in the interests of public safety. ‘ The regular meeting of the Rich- mond Hill council was held in the clerk’s office Monday night with Ree- ve , Lunau in the chair and all‘the members present. It was an unevent- ful session, very harmonious and characterized by no contentious busi- ness.

Appeals from the Beck Memorial Institute and the Social Hygene Coun- cil of Canada were laid on the table and no action taken. ‘ It was agreed that the grader should be put to work on the side ‘streets as soon as possible as the recent rains would make conditions ideal for the work. Practically all the streets will be gone over. There was considerable discussion re drainage in' the neighbourhood of Richmond and Centre Streets. Coun- cillor Sloan expressed himself very strongly for going ahead with the work of cleaning out the ditch. He drew at- tention to the deplorable conditions which exist in this neighbourhood every spring and urged that the work be done this fall. “I first brought this thing up a year ago last spring and it’s not done yet. If it had been for Church Street it would have been done long ago” he said. The work will be done immediately if the Reeve is able to get in communication with certain land owners affected. let he was giving notice that he would hold the t0wn responsible for any damages to his property by water. The members of the council felt that some action should be taken to take care of the water at this point and will look over the ground as a body next Saturday afternoon and en- deavour to solve the problem. The matter of improving lighting on Roseview and Church Streets in certain sections was left in the hands of councillor McLean chairman of the Lighting Committee.
