PROTECTION WILL BE PROVID- ED FOR SCHOOL CHILDRENâ€" SIDEWALK WILL BE BUILT TWO ABSENT FROM COUNCIL MEETING There were two vacant chairs at the i regular meeting of the Richmond Hill ‘ council on Tuesday evening. Reeve Lunau presided and those present were councillors Albert Chapman and James McLean. Councillors David lHill and Gordon H. Sloan were absent. The minutes of the last regular meet- ing were read and adopted and as business arising out of the minutes it was decided to adopt the plan of divi- ding the town into three sub-divisions for voting purposes. The divisions will be that portion east of Yong St. which will have 346 voters, that sec- tion west of Yonge and south of Gen. tre with 201 voters and that section west of Yonge and North of Centre St with 291 voters. ‘ Reeve Lunau reported that the weeds around the town had been cut. Councillor Chapman said he had re- ceived a complaint from one citizen as to the “slaughter” which was done his hedge. It was claimed that the hed- ge was cut without any notice having been given the owner. The reeve said that the men were instructed to only cut that which was on the street. Two verbal complaints were given to Clerk Hume by citizens and were reported to council. One was concern- ing a Viscous dog which ran out and bit a passerâ€"by. The owner will be notified to keep the alleged viscous animal tied up. The other complaint was of the nuisance of unnecessary noise during night-time and in this regard the reeve will Visit the offen- Lder and try and see if conditions canâ€" not be remedied. The contractors in charge of the work at the waterworks have finished their work and have departed. An “extra” which had to be done must be undertaken by the town workmen and is now in progress and will be com- ‘pleted slfortly. Councillor Chapman complained very strenuoust concer- ning the way the contract was exe- cuted. He claimed that the cedar posts which were substitutedfor con- crete abutements were not all satis- factory and that as far as he was con- ‘cerned the contractor should be made replace them. Reeve Lunauâ€"The contract laid out certain specifications and called for concrete abutments every ten feet but also provided that these specifications could be changed to something else. Councillor Chapmanâ€"â€" Well you’ve sure got the something else. Reeve Lunauâ€"They claim that the wooden posts cost more than the conâ€" crete, they are seven feet long and were driven in solid earth. / Councillor Chapmanâ€"Yes, maybe. Reeve Lunau said that he was pleased that the water was so good as a re- Sult of the improvement. Last year {at this season the water was very bad he said. The bill from the traffic constable for 174 hours work brought up a dis- cussion concerning traffic problems. Councillor Chapman complained that the officer did not seem to be able to slow up traffic and he suggested the >idea of stop lights at the intersectâ€" \ions. Councillor McLean thought that if the constable had a police cap on when on traffic duty that it would have more effect on motorists. Councillor Chapman wanted to know what revenue had been received and Clerk Hume advised that a cheque for $23 had been received to date and that he understood that there was about $15 to come. Reeve Lunau explained that the small amount of fines was no indication of work done as he explain- ed the great difficulty which any con- stable had in securing convictions in the County Court. I G.H. Duncan, Chairman of the Board of Education accompanied by Messrs Herb Sanderson, W.A. Wright W.H, Murphy, Stan Tyndall and RS. Cooper waited on the council relative to the resolution passed at the last meeting of the Board requesting the town to give protection to children crossing Yonge Street at the Public School. Chairman} G. H. Duncan and Trustee H. Sanderson addressed the THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1928 council and laid the facts of the case before them. They urged that in the interests of the safety of the children some action be taken. The Reeve as- sured the delegation that the council was very anxious to give every pro- tection to the youngsters going to school and that the matter would be taken up with the constable and some plan devised before the commenceâ€" ment of school. BEQEQERLE Councillor McLean â€" Has it been advertised? Councillor Chapman â€"â€" I thought it was but I looked for it and could not see it. It was explained that the advertis- ing- was not inserted after the last meeting as it was thought a petition ‘would be forthcoming. On motion it was decided to go ahead with the con- struction of a five foot walk. Reeve Lunau asked what would be done about the sidewalk which was proposed at the last meeting to be built on the west side of Yonge street north of Arnold Street. “THE HOME OF HIGH CLASS ENTERTAINMENT ‘â€" YONGE AND GLEN FOREST SATURDAY MATINEE AT 2.30 P.M.
