I understand that there are two agents in the town who would have been glad of the opportunity of submitting prices on this garage or tool shed which was purchased, but they were not given a chance. Rather a trus- tee bought this cheap outfit from a large firm in Toronto, and by all re- . I would like the members of the Richmond Hill School Board to en- lighten the taxpayers as to the purâ€" chase by that body of a tool shed which was erected at the High school and which I understand was purchasâ€" ed from a large firm in Toronto. Editor Liberal, Sir:â€" In a. letter to you some time since I suggested a question column, in which ratepayers might be privileged to ask questions pertaining to village inte- rests, stipulating that no spirit of vindictiveness should be shown, and personalities avoided. As a fairly heavy taxpayer I claim the right to enlightenment in regard to civic ad- ministration, and for my future guid- ance, and in order that I may phrase my queries accordingly, may I ask our Reeve, Mr. J. Lunau through you Mr. Editor, to quote in your next issue the questions I asked which warrant the corporal punishment he has threatens ed to administer in the event of simi- Llar questions being submitted.

To my mind Mr. Editor our local business men who pay taxes here should have an opportunity of suppâ€" lying such things and that in the matter of patronizing “home indust- ries" our school board should set the rest of us an example. Thanking you for the space in your columns and trusting that we will be given some e'xplanation of this kind of bus- iness, I am The Liberal, Richmond Hill, Dear Sirs:â€" My copy of the Jubilee number of the “Liberal” just received and few of the old readers will appreciate the changes more than I do. for I was at one time an employee. I began as the “printer’s devil” in the year 1880 and continued in the Liberal employ for about three years. I was pleased to recall many of the. activities of Mr. Sanderson for I re- member him all my life. One inci- dent I have always remembered, on his 30th birthday I met him on the streetâ€"I remember him now as he apperred to me then; I was a lad of about 0 or 10 and in my young mind I thought him an old man.” Mr. Sand- crson has had a long useful life in Richmond Hill. To him and his life’s partner, Richmond Hill owes much for in their activities and influences they have given much. Hearty congratulations to “The Liberal” and to Richmond Hill’s “Grand Old Man” and to Mrs. Sander- son, my sincere good wishes and ex- pressions of High Esteem. “Printer’s Devil" of 1880 Sends Respectfully, CHARLES R. STOREY Congratulafiions limited Yours truly WES MIDDLETON GM-laza Brockton, Mass How Newtonbrook Received Its Name Editor Liberal, Sir:â€" 'I noticed in a recent issue among the “Newtonbrook Newsy Notes” that the writer could not recall the circum- stances by which Newtonbrook was named. I would like to remind your readers who attended the 01d Boy’s Re-Union at Newtonbrook church a- bout twelve years ago of the interest- ing address by a Mr. Agar who reâ€" counted the story of the naming of the village by his mother. He recall- ed that the early settlers were quite puzzled to find a. name and that it was his mother who suggested that since it was a new place, and that a creek ran through it, that it be called iNew Town Brook. Incidently it ‘might be mentioned that Mr, Agar’s mother was Irish and that Brook is Irish for creek. In a short time the speaker pointed out the decision was made to change the “New Town" to Newton and thus it was known as Newton Brook. As I was quite young at the time this address was made Mr. Editor some of my recollections may be in- accurate but I hope that this may help some others recall more of that interesting historical address. Thank- ing you, I am Thornhill, Ont. NEW TEACHERS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STAFF There will be four new faces on the teaching staff of the Richmond Hill High School when school re-opens in September. At a meeting of the Board of Education, four new teachers Were selected from scores of applications to succeed Miss Austin, Miss McCullough and Mr. Sinclair who have resigned.
