Capitol News NOTORIOUS EVEN IN LONDON Dr. Langstaff, of Richmond Hill, who is holidaying in the Old Land in a letter to a friend in town relates his surprise on learning of the apparent world wide advertising which this town has received. Strange as it may seem Richmond Hill is not known to Londoners as “Toronto’s Highest and Healt- hiest Suburb", nor even as the “Rose Garden of the World." Neither has the efforts of any local organizations to secure industries made any appreciâ€" able impression on the general public across the pond and mention of the name does not immediately conjure up visions of an “Ideal Industrial Locat- ion.” It appears that the Doctor was walking in a. certain well known section of the Great lilmpire Metropolis and in en- gaging in casual conversation with a genial Londoner, inci- dently was questioned as to where he lived. He of course answered. Richmond Hill and imagine his surprise when the immediate retort was, “Ah.

BOWLING SEASON OFFICIAL OPENING ON MONDAY NIGHT The members of the Richmond Hill Bowling club will hold the official op- ening of the 1928 season at the local green on Monday night, next, June 18. Supper will be served at 6 o’clock and afterwards “mixed” games will be played for which prizes have been do- nated. It is requested that all mem- bers and any who are considering be- coming members will turn out and help make the opening event of the year a success. The appointment of \Mr. George Smith. the town’s capable efficient and faithful official as weed inspector for the municipality in addition to his already muticiplicity of duties has inspired a citizen to paraphrase Gold- smith’s well known lines. Referring to the village master in The Deserted iVillage Goldsmith said; “And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all he knew.” The addition of the important duties of Weed Inspector to the work of the town foreman which are admittedly already very numerous and diversi- fied prompted a visitor to our office this week to say with apologies to the writer of these familiar lines. And still we gaze and still the won- AND STILL THE WONDER GROWS der grows v. That one mere man can carry all he STREETS CLEANED Yonge an d E Castlefield g “In Essentials, Unity; In? V" LIMITED *I\ I ha 24 Hour Service GOOD PLACE TO BUY A USED CAR RICHMOND H ILL, An injunction and claim for dam- ages has been issued against the cor- poration of the village of Richmond Hill by David T. Rumble concerning the land at the waterworks. Mr. Rumble claims firstly an injunction restraining the Defendant (The corp- roration of Richmond Hill) from flood- ing the plaintiff’s land; secondly, a mandamus compelling the defendant to remove the dam or other obstruct- ion which causes the flooding; thirdly claims damages for loss of the use of the lands and its result in diminishing the value of the land; and fourthly costs for this action and such further relief as the case may require. DAMAGE SUIT ENTERED AGAINST THE VILLAGE The plaintiff’s claim as outlined in the writ states that Mr. Rumble is one of the owners of a certain parcel of land in Vaughan Township through which a stream flows and claims that he was and is entitled to have said ‘flow by and away from the said land without obstruction or hinderance. It states that the Defendant (The Corp- oration of Richmond Hill) did about the year 1920 and thenceforth until the present time obsrtucted the flow of the said stream at a point below the land owned by the plaintiff by erecting a dam or other obstruction in the bed of the stream so that it was hindered and prevented from freely flowing past and away from said lands of the plaintiff as it of right ought to have done and otherwise Would have done. By reason of the premises, the water of the said stream from the time of the erection of the said obstruction, about the year 1920, overflowed and flooded the Plaintiâ€" iff’s said‘ land and remained thereon continuously to the present time, and the plaintiff was deprived of the use of the said land and the said land was and is much diminished in'value. It is claimed that the defendant has done this unlawfully and without c01- or or right and neglected or refused to abate the nuisance. The June 2 ment tion. ahéad The writ; was issued on Monday, June 11 and is a sensational develop- ment in the whole waterworks quesâ€" tion. The council had planned to go ahead with a further extension this‘ year for which the contract has been let. The work was to have commenc- ed last Thursday but was held up by the council at the regular meeting on Monday awaiting the outcome of the appeal against the award of the arbi- trators. The wooden pipe for the exâ€" tension was purchased by the council last year at a cost of $1100.

Duncan, presiding and the following members piesent; Trus- tees Mrs, A.A. Perry, W.A. Wright, Jos. Atkinson, H. Sanderson, SCHOOL BOARD HELD REGULAR SESSION B. Cook, A.A. Eden, W.H. Murphy, H. Endean and J. F. Atkinson. The introduction of a commercial course next term is now assured and the secretary was authorized to ad- vertise at once for a teacher. The course will probably be two years and will in accordance in every respect with the department regulations. It will probably be held in the old High School building and some new equip- ment such as typewriters, desks etc., will have to be purchased. The board was unahimous in favoring the intro- [duction of the course which it is felt will be appreciated by citizens in this district who prev10usly have had to send their children to Toronto to se- cure a business education. It was decided to paint the exterior of the Public School and probably a portion of the High School. The Board will buy' the paint and have the work done by day labor. The cost of the paint for‘the Public School was estimated at about $100. The athletic field at the High School will be improved this summer. Trustees W.H. Murphy, H. Endean, and A.A. Eden were appointed as a committee to look after the work. The field will be plowed, worked and levelled and in a short time it is hop- ed to have a first class athletic ground ‘The matter of a fence was considered [but was laid over until fall. The Board will also consider during the summer months further beautificatfi on of the grounds. The members com- mented freely on the improved ap- pearance of the lawn at the High School and a motion of appreciation of the efforts of the caretaker was unanimously passed. Crops Look Promising Throughout Markham Township Grain and root crops were much helped by the recent showers. The grain crops in the township are an ev~ cellent colour and are growing well in ispite of the cold weather. Doubtless this fact may not be true of low lying land that the frost of a few nights a- go gave a serious set back. We are pleased to report that our esteemed citizens who were recently so ill are making r pid progress «to« ward recovery. 11 ‘ “Tent Meetings” at Gormley Largely Attended. ' Many from here attended the “Tent Meetings” at Gormley on Sunday eve- ning. The large tent was altogether ‘too small to accommodate the huge crowds which gathered for the three services.
