Warden W. M. Graham, Reeve of York Township. said the veterans had his deepest sympathy. “We are doing something but we should go farther. I think we should set aside a certain amount each year for this purpose, providing the different mu- nicipalities would set aside a similar a grant of $1,500 was heard. Captain Wallace, the treasurer, gave an ac- count of how the $2.500 received last year was expended. He stated that they dealt with 53 relief cases and that 95 cents out of every dollar was spent on relief. That the Council would co-operate with every municipality in order to cope with the smallpox epidemic that is now prevalent in East York Town- ship and also threatening to enter Scarboro and North York Townships, was the information conveyed to the members by Warden W.M. Graham. “Each municipality has its cum Board of Health and East York above all others has done Trojan work in its ef- forts to prevent the disease spread- ing," said the Warden. Following the discussion on the smallpox epidemic a deputation from the Veterans’ Association of the Fed- eral Riding of North York regarding York County Council is in session this week in the Council Chambers Adelaide Street, Toronto. The de- liberations commenced on Tuesday and although there promises to be no busi- ness of a very contentious nature there are many matters to be discussed and the County fathers have a busy week ahead of them.

Charity.” RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1927 Trustee Mrs. A.A. Perry was the second speaker who in her usual clear and concise manner discussed many of the phases of the problems facing edu- cationalists to day. She pointed out that she had several years experience in educational work in Western Canada but she found conditions here different in many ways from those in Western Canada. Here in the East we were more settled in our ways, more con- ‘servative, a little prejudiced and a little more dyed in the wool so to Speak, she said. The speaker admitt- ed that the system in Ontario was ad- mirable in many ways but it had sev- The first speaker was Mr. G.H. Duncan, chairman of the Board who in la very interesting manner gave the details of the manner in which the Board of Education functions and the manner in which the members are ap- pointed and elected. He stated that Ianything he had ever done on the ‘Board had always been a real pleasure to him. He believed that if anything which a citizen undertakes is worth doing at all it is worth doing well and he had always endeavoured to make this the guiding principle during his term on the Richmond Hill school board. The local board was a Union High and Public School Board and as such had a great many duties to per- form and a responsible trust in their charge. He pointed out that the duty of the board in regard to finances was to ascertain the anticipated expendi- ture take into consideration the uncon- trolable expenditure and make the re- quisition to the council. The Board had a very successful year financially last year and he was confident that the result this year would be just as satis- factory. l The speaker urged parents to take an active interest in the education of ‘their children. It was a notable fact ‘he said that the attendance figures for the High School last year showed that County Pupils had a higher average per pupil attendance than the village pupils. Mr. Duncan praised the Edu- cational system in vogue in Ontario and paid sincere tribute to the life and work of Egerton Ryerson who was largely responsible for the founding of the system as we have it to day. On- tario has an educational system second to none in the world and peop- le come from all over the world to study its working. We are justly proud of our school system as founded by Egerton Ryerson and as carried out in a modest manner by the trustees in the various school sections of the province, he said. a good deal more school taxes than they actually do is attributable to the financing and book keeping of the municipal council. It was pointed out that whereas the council levies for school purposes an amount sufficient to cover the payment of debentures, a substantial portion of this is refunded to the municipality by the County and is not used for school purposes at all. Mr. A.E. Plewman, the president of the club acted as chairman and in his opening remarks welcomed the citizâ€" ens and expressed pleasure that the attendance was so large. He stated that he felt that a greater knowledge of the affairs of the school board was desirable as he found a very great lack of understanding in the commun- ity in regards to the administration of our schools. “A great many people do not know how they are run or even by whom they are run” he said. At a well attended meeting of the Home & School Club held in the Pub- lic School on Tuesday night local edu- cation matters were discussed at some length by members of the Board of Education and citizens in attendance, All the speakers were unanimous in paying tribute to the efficiency of the administration of our schools and to the ability of the members of the Board.

Further notice later. The arbitration proceedings in con- nection with the expropriation of cer- tain lands by the town for extensions of the waterworks system were com- pleted this week. The land formerly belonged to Rumble Bros. and the a- mount required by the town was in the neighbourhood of four acres for which the municipality agreed to pay five hundred dollars, which sum at the commencement of action was paid in- to court.“ The amount asked for the property was $6000. The arbitrators Judge Denton, Mr. Thos. M. Baker, of Vaughan Township for Richmond Hill and Mr. Glover of Toronto, acting for Rumble Bros., after hearing several witnesses on Friday last and looking over the property fixed the price to be 'paid by the municipality as $570, each party in the action to share the costs equally. The witnesses called includ- ed J. Walton, of Aurora; E. T. Steph- ens, H. Davis, T. Cousins, T. Allison, Rumble Brothers and others. Mr. J. H. Naughton acted for the Municipal- ity of Richmond Hill in the case. During the evening a piano solo was rendered by Miss Norah Batty and a violin solo by Miss Mary Fortuck. A hearty vote of thanks to the speak- ers was moved by Dr. Lillian Lang- staff, seconded by Mr. Smith, and heartily concurred in by the meeting. Dr. Langstaff added his words of congratulations to the School Board and expressed his pleasure that the section was fortunate in having as trustee one lady member and he hop- ed that other women could be induced to serve on the board. Trustee Mr. W.A. Wright drew at- tention to the great change which had been brought about in the passing of a comparatively few years in regards to education. He recalled the old days when education was secured by priv- ate tuition which gradually developed into the public school and with the natural outgrowth of higher education. He stressed the need of every child receiving an adequate education which was essential to-day in every walk of life. Mr. R. S. Cooper secretary of the Board in a few well chosen remarks complimented the board on the effici- ency of their deliberations and briefly outlined the requirements of a Board of Education as outlined in the statu- tes. eral shortcomings which she hoped would soon be righted. Outstanding among them is the little one roomed school she said. In these schools often overcrowded, containing many grades young teachers very often fresh from Normal School and inexperienced are faced with a Herculean task. She favored the Township School Boards as advocated by Premier Ferguson which would correspond with the con- solidated schools in the West which she stated were most certainly a great success. The Board of Education bears a heavy burden of responsibility but she was very much pleased with the manner in which the affairs were conducted by the local school board and she paid tribute to all its members to chairman G.H. Duncan and R.S. Cooper the efficient secretary of the board. She appealed to the women to take a greater interest in school af- fairs and urged that they seek greater representation on the board. The viewpoint of women was necessary on such bodies in this age and they had no small contributions to make to edu- cational progress. Arbitration Completed The opinion has been expressed that Reeve Lunau has given such admirable service to the town and devoted so freely of his time and energy in the work this year that he should be given a third term if he wants it. There are those also who think that the preâ€" lsent Reeve has now rounded off his municipal career with two years as Reeve and that this should be enough and that he should now give way to some member of the council or leave the field open to other aspirants. The electors of the town are beginn- ing to ask each other what is going to happen regarding the personnel of the council and other public bodies of the town for the year 1928. Reeve Lunau has now had two years in the chief magistrate’s chair, and it is not defin- itely known whether or not he will be in the field for the Reeveship for a third term. Councillor Baldock, Herr- ington and Sloan have now had two lyears each in the council and councill- ‘or McLean has also served several years in the council. None of the present councillors have intimated in any way what their ambitions may be but Dame Rumour has not been idle and has connected the Reeveship aspi- rations with all the councillors names. Councillor Sloan’s name has been {prominent in this regard but whethâ€" ier or not he will allow his name to go ‘to the people for the office of Reeve remains for the future developments to unfold. In the race for Council all the pre- sent council are almost sure to stay in municipal life with several names prominently mentioned by interested J .A. Greene a former councillor and who was unsuccessful in the contest for Reeve last year by a very narrow margin will probably be in the field a- gain and judging by his run of last year will be a formidable contender. Several other names are also freely. mentioned for the Reeveship including ex-Reeve Thos. Trench and- ex-Coun- cillor David Hill but as far as is known they have made no formal de- claration of their intention.

These meetings com- menced last Sunday and are held every evening excepting Saturday. A deep interest has been created in the community and adjoining neighbor- hood as evidenced by the splendid at- tendance, not withstanding the rain and mud. One prominent feature of these meetings is the hearty singing iof gospel hymns and choruses which Ieverybne seems to enjoy. It is claimed that the new pavement the new T.T.C. service and recent de- lvelopments which augur well for the 1future of the town are just the com- lmencement of an éra of unprecedentâ€" ed prosperity and growth for this municipality and it has had the desir- able effect of quickening our com- munity morale and inspiring the citiz- ens generally to a more active inte- rest in Community welfare and de- velopment.

Whether or not these men can be prevailed up- on by their friends to stand for electi- on remains to be seen; however it is evident that with nomination day still five weeks away that the municipal political pot is beginning to simmer, and that there will be a keen interest in local municipal affairs this year.
