Vaughan Township on Wednesday afâ€" ternoon that one man was heard to re- mark that it was just like the Wood- bridge Fair. It was one of the larg- est crowds that attended a sale in this district for some time and the bidding was brisk and excellent prices were realized. The total receipts amount- ed to $6.700. Horses brought excep- tionally good prices; a two year old Belgian colt sold for $200 and an eight year old mare brought $207.50. Seventeen cows sold at an average price of $128.40 and there was only one fresh cow in the lot. One grade cow, not freshened brought $170. The implements sold well and in every particular the sale was very satisfac~ tory to the owners. Lunch was ser- ved to the crowd and no-one went a- way hungry. J.T. Saigeon, Maple, was in charge as auctioneer.

This was contained in the report of the Market Committee presented to the York County Council last week. The North Yonge Street market, the first to be established, shows a surplus. Danforth Avenue Market has not produced enough revenue to allow for the expenditure on the equipment. Extensions to both will be made during the year.

Reeve Lunau pre- sided and present were councillors Sloan and Herrington. The meetings are being held this year in the Counc- il Chamber to enable citizens to attend the meetings and hear the town’s bus- iness discussed; four citizens outside of the council members were present on Tuesday night. The main item of business was the passing of the by- law fixing the rate of taxation for the year 1928 which was finally passed fixing the rate at fifty-five mills. It was evident that the Reeve and Coun- cillors present would much rather have struck a lower rate if at all pos- sible and every effort was made to cut down the estimates to include only work which was absolutely urgently required within the municipality, dur- ing the coming year. A great porti~ on of the tax, thirty-three and sevenâ€" tenths mills is uncontrollable being made up of county tax and debenture charges and school tax. Included in the years estimates are amounts for the following proposed works, oiling streets $500; scarifying side-streets $250; gravelling Centre and Richmond Streets $1000; completing drains on Church and Centre Streets $4700; side- walks on Yonge Street $1000. This is practically all the work provided for in the estimates and which is con- templated this year and it is evident that to keep within the estimate of 55 mills the program will have to adher- ed to very rigidly. The council was agreed that it was imperative that this work should be done this year. The rate of 55 mills is made up as follows:â€" County rate, $5468.61, rate of 7 mills rate, $16,604.50 rate of 21.- 3 mills; High School Maintenance 31050, rate of 1.3 mills; Public Librâ€" ary. $389.27, rate of .5 mills; Public School Maintenance, $6300 rate of 7.8 mills; Public School debentures $2095- ViIIage Council Fix For Year 1928 At 55 Mills Nomination Next Monday To Name Successor To lgested.

A communication was received from William Davies stating that it was his ‘wish not to accept the appointment of the council to the Board of Health. 1t stated that he would not add to the verbal reasons given at the previous meeting for his wish to relinquish this very important position. On motion the resignation was accepted and a resolution passed appointing George ‘Gee as a member of the Board. Mr. Harry Austin wrote the council complaining of the water from ad- ‘joining houses flowing across his lot and into his cellar. The Reeve and councillor McLean were instructed to “look into the situation. A claim for exemption from water “rates on land claimed to be farm land within the meaning of the statutes was laid over for another meeting. Councillor Sloan said he was opposed to such exemptions as it made the burden heavier for the other people. It was pointed out that the town truck was in need of repairs and the advisability of replacing it was sug- Councillor Sloan said he thought it was false economy when a second hand truck was purchased. The truck will be inspected and it will be decided later what action will be taken. Councillor Sloan said he thought a truck shoud be bought for the electric light department. He thought it an injustice that Mr. Stirling should be asked to use his own car for the town work. There was a substantial sur- plus in the electric light account and he thought it could be called into use for this purpose. Councillor Herringtonâ€"“Why not redUCe the rates?” Reeve Lunauâ€" “‘I don’t think the town can afford to keep up two trucks.” A by-law was passed authorizing the Reeve & Treas. to borrow an amount up to $20,000 to meet current expendi- ture.
