as it was so close to the sixth the suggestion could not be entertained. The only alternative was for the township to take back the sixth and have the county take the fourth and eighth concessions as county roads which was agreed to. Reeve Gohn explained that the township was thus relieved of the upkeep of the eighth and the construction of several costly bridges and the upkeep of the fourth and he felt that if this money was exâ€" pended on the sixth it should be kept in a good state of repair. Especially he thought this would be the case when the county had completed the construction work as the eighth would then probably take much of the heavy traffic which now comes down the sixth. He said that the council had gone over the road and had let the contract for drainage work at the schoolhouse and for the resurfacing of certain bad stretches. This contract was let and the contractor was al- ready on the ground and in addition to'this the whole of the road would be patched this year. Mr. Bruce suggested that since the county was now relieved of the Lang- staff sideroad which is now a provin- cial road they should now take back the sixth. Mr. Gohn pointed out that although the Langstaff sideroad was now a provincial road the County was still liable for a certain portion of the expenditure. A member of the deputation asked if the council thought that it was really possible to keep up the sixth. Reeveâ€"I certainly think we can. Deputyâ€"Reeve Padget suggested that probably the County should maintain the sixth when it was takâ€" ing the traffic diverted when the eighth was under construction. A member of the deputation drew attention to the ditches and to certain places Where culverts were needed to keep the Water from running down the road. Another member said that there was a hole in front of his gate pretty near big enough to bury a hor- se. Councillor Smithâ€"There’s no doubt the road is in bad shape and it will cost the township a pile of money to keep it up. Questionâ€"Would it be possible for the township to get financial assist- ance to maintain the road. Markham township council session at the township hall, Unionville, on Monday afternoon was featured by a large and representative deputation of ratepayers complaining of the deplorable condition of the sixâ€" th concession north of Unionville and asking what action the council plann- ed. A.D. Bruce of Gormley acted as spokesman for the deputation and ab- ly laid the case before the members of the council. Reeve Gohn reviewed the events leading up to the taking back of the road, by the township from the County. When the readjust- ment of county road mileage was made it was agreed that some additiâ€" onal road should be taken in Mark- ham. The fourth was suggested but Reeve Gohnâ€"It would if we could prove that the township could not keep it up. It is admittedly one of the worst pieces of road in thewhole system of the county this spring. The stretch at the schoolhouse is one of the most difficult places to drain in the whole county and the unusually hard winter and spring played havoc with it this year. Deputyâ€"Reeve Padget suggested that inasmuch as he understood the Minister of Highways had power to make a special grant to any road which was carrying an undue aâ€" mount of traffic that representations to this effect he made to Hon. G. S. Henry. There is a possibility that if this is done the council will -be sup- ported by a deputation of the rate- payers. ‘The deputation retired after the assurance that the Council would do all possible to maintain the road. The deputation numbered thirty-two strong. A second deputation numbering 12 of the residents of Helen Avenue south of Unionville, appeared in sup- port of a. petition which was accepted last year asking that a macadam bound roadway be constructed on this street as a local improvement. An enabling by-law was passed and the ‘work will be proceeded with this year. The entire cost of the Work will be born by the property owners concern- ed who will pay for the work over a period of ten years. The work will be under the direction of Engineer Bab- cock.

E. J. Parkinson was appointed to look after the township fireâ€"fighting apparatus to keep it in shape and al- so to look after the ordering of chem- ical supplies and necessary repairs.

VANDALISM AGAIN Vandalism is again evidenced in the Community by the picking and de- stroying of some of the tulips in the flower beds at the High School. The tulips there have made a wonderful showing this spring and have greatly added to the appearance of the school grounds which has been a source of pride to teachers, pupils and citizens generally Wh'o commend the school Board for their action in trying to beautify the place. Apparently though there still exists a type of in- dividual who has no thought of the time effort and expense expended in order that these beds might be a “thing of beauty” in our midst but thinks only of the spirit of destructiv- eness and selfishness and apparently willfully destroyed and plucked many of the blooms for their own personal benefit or enjoyment. The school board intends to take steps to see that the property is protected.

Monday, June 4 was a very special afternoon for the Richmond Hill branch of the Women’s Institute when the members welcomed as visitors members of the Thornhill, Oak Ridgâ€" es Institutes and members of the Jun- ior Institute of Victoria Square. Mrs. Phipps, the president occupied the chair and occupying seats on the platform with her were the three presidents of the visiting organiz- ations. Miss Edna Wiltshire of Thorn- hill rendered a delightful soprano solo “There were ninety and nine” and Miss Meeks, of Victoria Square gave a reading “A Little Child Shall Lead Them.” Both numbers were except- ionally well rendered and much ap- preciated. The speaker of the after- noon was Miss E. M. Collins, of An- caster, who gave an interesting and instructive talk on “Women’s Nation- al Outlook," emphasizing most the avenues of Home and School. At the close of the address Miss Muriel Burnaby gave a very pleasing sop- rano solo. A dainty luncheon was ser- ved by the Richmond Hill ladies who were delighted with the success of the meeting- and the large attendance. This was the last meeting of the Inst. itute until September. The Story Hour held in the Public Library will also be discontinued until September. PEONIES DOING WELL The three peonies presented to Rich- mond Hill last year by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales and planted I in the flower bed at the memorial are all a- live, sprouting well and apparently in a very healthy and satisfactory con- dition. ORANGE MEETING A special meeting of the local Or- ange Lodge will be held in the lodge room on Monday, June 11. Refresh- ments will be served. WOMEN’S INSTITUTE MEETING BOVVLERS LOST AT AURORA OTHER THINGS, LIKE CHARITY, SHOULD BEGIN AT HOME At the regular session of the Richmond Hill Council a grant of twenty five dollars was vot- ed to the Richmond Hill Agri- cultural Society, which is same amount as was granted last year. At best this is rather dubious support to a local unâ€" dertaking of the importance of the Richmond Hill Fair but is the more dubious in the light of representations which were made to other municipalities and which were taken in good faith and acted upon. A deputation waited on the Markham Township Council from the Agricultural Socie- tyâ€"and one of the members of the deputation was a member of the Richmond Hill councilâ€" and asked that in View of exist- ing conditions the annual grant be increased. The’ posit- ion of the society was carefully explained and it was shown that more funds for the organ- ization were a necessity if the Fair was to continue to funct- ion. It was clearly intimated that a larger grant would be given by Richmond Hill. Mark- ham in the previous year had given $15.00 but in view of the representations that were so ably made increased the grant to $35.00. Similar representa- tions were made to Vaughan in an appeal for funds and accord- ingly the grant from this township was increased from twenty-five dollars to thirty- five dollars. Now, at the last meeting of the Richmond Hill council the sum of twenty-five dollars. the usual grant is made. We hope that there is some ex- planation of these apparent unâ€" usual proceedings and that it is the intention to bring: in a sup- plementary grant for the local fair. It hardly seems right that when Markham and Vaug- han respond so generously to an appeal from the Agricultur- al Society of Richmond 'Hill and that the Richmond Hill council should “fall down.” The strangest of all things however is that when the motion to give the L'SUAL grant was moved and seconded there was a Sphinx like silence on the part of two members of the ("Pencil who are and one of the “We Recommend 0 a n for Investment UEEdFord Cars $375- $135- $70- o=o== 0:0 I=°=°=° Officeâ€"Davies Block, Yonge St. LITTLE British Columbia Power Corporation Limited Class A Preferred Stock. $60 per share with bonus of our share of Class B. stock with each four shares Class A.
