PAGE FOUR PERSISTENCE REWARDED Editor Liberal, Dear Sir:â€" The broken chunks of ashphalt and accumulated refuse, which have been lying in the gutters of our new road, since its completion last October have at last been cleaned up, due to the persistance of Our energetic Councillor James McLean. I got after “em” he says, “and got it done.” Thanks Jimmy, keep up the good Work, you may suéceed by continued efforts, in getting eventually a coat of paint on the doors of the Fire hall; clean streets, a tidy town, and attrac- tiVe surroundings are among the best incentives, for inducing new comers. for which the town is so desirous. May I suggest Mr. Editor that you introduce a new column, under some such heading as, “what we want to know,” in which questions could be asked, on matters pel‘taining to vill- age interests, questions and answers should be made, minus any element of vindictiveness and pesonalities strict- 1y avoided, such questions to be ignor- ed, unless over the questioners own signature. Under this heading may I submit the following in regard to matters of interest, as per your report of the last Council meetinge Why did the Reeve after expressing his opinion that work in connection with the water system should proceed immediately, give the casting vote to Councillor Hill’s motion, seconded by Councillor McLean, for postpone- ment until after the decision of the Court of Appeal? How did Councillor McLean come to think according to his statement to Council, that the Rumble appeal had been settled? If $1200 has already been spent for materials etc., and the date set by Council and contractors for commenâ€" cement, at a cost of $2400, irrespectâ€" ive of a further sum being added to the $520 originally awarded for the expropiated land, necessary, accord- ing to expert advice, for improving the water system, what advantage, or benefit does the Reeve, councillors Hill and McLean consider is to be 'obtain- Effective June 15th The Summer timetable will go into effect on the morning of June 15th. 1928 SECURE A NEW TIMETABLEâ€"Your agent wil gladly give you any or all information required.

If according to the Reeve’s state- ment, Mr. Smith hitherto has been too busy to perform the work of sanitary inspection, for which he is annually appointed, why has the weed inspect- ‘orship now been added to his inany duties? If Councillor Hill’s policy is appar- ently economy, when he either rhoved or supported a motion to disallow the ten dollars which the auditor had been {receiving for expenses, why did he not ‘move to dispense with the auditor’s services and give the job to George ‘Smith? ' Why did the Reeve and Councillor McLean use their influnce with the councils of Markham and Vaughan to increase to $35 their annual subscrip- tion to the Agricultural Society, omit to mention this to their colleagues and support a vote in favour of a $25 sub- scription by their own Council? If the oath of office of a municipal councillor is such that he may not diâ€" rectly or indirectly have any contract or‘ business with the corporation which he represents, how did an ac- count for $18.05 come to be passed for D. Hill & Co. at the last council meeting, and for what was the odd ‘five cents? May! I also ask, when are the re- maining cardboard shields purchased to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation, and still attached dirty and unsightly to some of the posts on Yonge Street, where they have now been for one year, going to ibe removed? When is the section of sidewalk from the corner \ of Arnold Stfto .Switzer’s lane now in a deplorable con- dition going to be made to harmonize, with the new thoroughfare? ‘ V Yours truly WILLIAM DAVIES A JUST KIDS SAFETY CLUB FOR RICHMOND HILL COUNCIL Editor of Liberal Dear Sir:â€" In these days when the public is so interested in the Just Kids Safety movement as sponsored by the Tor- bnto Globe it struck me that it would ‘be well to suggest that Richmond Hill ‘iCouncil ,take that the vow and join this club in a body instead of wander- ing aimlessly to the middle of the street before they think to look up and down. According to your report of the last council meeting we find these men who represent us hopelessly at sea in regards to the waterworks question. After one year of investigations as to ways and means of improving the quality of the water supply, and after while out walking to adjust your shoes, if you buy them here, Our shoes do not slip or pinch in the heel. We guarantee a perfect fit no matter how hard you are to fit. Our shoes are well made, stylish and comfortable. Our prices are moderate. YOU \VILL NOT HAVE TO STOP Richmond Hi1. letting the contract, buying the mat- erial, and when the contractor has part of his machinery on the job, Councillors Hill and Chapman decide they had better look up and down be- j ‘fore they go on with the work. They ‘ apparently have no alternative plan, nor have they any faith in the project already authorized by the Council, so they decided to emulate the prover- bial frog who sits on the bank wait- ing and hoping providence will send along a solution for their troubles, and whether from utter exhaustion of their labours so far on this question or because they have become inoculat- ed by contact with Hill and Chapman, our good Reeve and Councillor Mcâ€" Lean decided they would make it a quartette and indulge in some more reptilian music. Leaving Councillor ‘ Sloan alone in his stand for the im- V mediate carrying out of the suggest- , ions of the Provincial Board of Health ' Councillors Hill and Chapman profess _ great fear of their supposition that the land which they already have ex- propriated will cost such an amount that it will have the effect of driving ' the people out of the village. May I jndulge in a little supposing and say that if this long heralded last war that is to end the world comes off as per schedule this year, we Wont need any waterworks, or if the springs dry up We won’t have any water. So probably Messrs Hill and Chapman will want to look up and down a couple of more years before they cross these suppositions too. Think of the money We would save if We just keep on wishing for improveâ€" ments, but make no move to get them. Councillor Hill also showed signs of great distress when he discovered he had voted for a grant of Twenty-five dollars for.the Horticulture Society, and again wanted to retrace his steps. demanding to know what good this association was to the village. Now Mr. Editor I submit that this body of men can hardly be judged as safe to be at large until they are plac- ed under the Protective Wing of the Just Kids Club and I would there for have great pleasure in suggesting that the Village Clerk be- instructed to sign the necessary coupons to get each member a badge to remind them to look up and down before they cross the streets. I am sir TAKES EXCEPTION TO COUN- CILLORS REMARKS ABOUT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY Mr. Editor, Dear Sir:â€" When a member of our Council makes the remark, “What benefit are they to the Town? They are suppos- ed to do a lot with flower beds at the 'public school, in front of the war memorial, but I haven’t Seen any re- sults,” then I for one certainly wish to voice my protest. If he would only look, he would see a very pretty bed of tulips and underneath the tulips the Prince of Wales gift of peom'es to our village, making a continuous bloom for several weeks of our summ- er months. As far as I can see that is all the “flower beds” that would look at all artistic in front of our memorial. The rest of the grounds are growing daily in beauty. Then if 'he would just take a stroll around the High School grounds he would see a wonderfully, beautiful sight, quite well worth the effort. The members of the councilâ€"al- ways with an eye to economyâ€"hesi- tated to appoint a weed inspector and with the view of saving». the town the expense of an additional officer ap- .nointed the present men foreman to It was in regard to our Horticultur- al Society. First of all I am not a member but I can at least appreciate the work they have tried very hard to do for the betterment of our village, generally, The fears of the council that the personnel of the municipal employees and the expenses for salaries would be increased by the appointment of a weed inspector seem withth found- ation after reading the Weed Act re- lating to this appointment. In regard to a remark made at the last meeting of our village fathers I would like to take exception. Then all the improvements ever made in our seventy five year old park has 'been done by that same “un- faithful” Horticultural Society. The remarks Mr. Editor to 'say the least were quite uncalled forâ€" ~especially toward a group of people, who have tried, against many odds to bring beauty and order out of a hard situation. Thanking you for your kindness Mr. Editor. matter. The weed nuisance is admittedly great problem in Ontario to-day. DISCUSSES THE WEED ACT Editor Liberal Dear Sir:â€" pointed the present Lawn foreman to St., the impormn? position./ No doubt S they had very good reasons for so of doing and We must commend them for pig their zeal for economy although I can- tru not agree with their action in this con LIBERAL mg'ggmu ONTARIO Yours for Safety OFFICER RILEY A SUBSCRIBER Just Kids Club is such a large problem that it has engaged the attention of the Depart- ment .of Agriculture who have had a special Act passed through the legis- lature and have spent thousands and thousands of dollars in endeavouring to enforce it and more especially to educate the people of the province to the seriousness of the situation. According to the Act the onus for noxious weeds rest primarily (an the‘ landowner. The act says at the very outset that every occupant or owner of land shall destroy all weeds desig- nated as noxious as often in the year as necessary as is sufficient to prevent ripening of seeds. If the occupant or owner of the land does not carry out this order it is the duty of the Weed Inspector to see that it is done, but any costs involved may be charged up by the municipality to the land con- cerned as taxes. It would appear therefore that the main feature to be considered in the appointment of a man to fill this 'pos- ition would not be the matter of cost to the municipality but rather that the man appointed was one who had all the qualifications necessary to en- force the act including ample time to carry out his duties. I am much in accord Mr. Editor with the steps which have been taken by the Department and I hope that all municipalities will co-operate in every way possible to rid the province of the weed nuisance. I fail to see though why it would not have been better for Richmond Hill to have ap- pointed another man to the position instead of the town foreman who has already so much to do and who as I see cannot carry out this work with neglecting some other work. Especi- ally do I think this when the Act pro- vides that the offenders must pay the shot. Trusting Mr. Editor that I have not trespassed on your valuable space, I am About sixty-five farmers were on hand at the North Toronto Market on Tuesday evening, when selling was brisk, and produce, plentiful.
