RICHMOND HILL, QNgrAmo DIED Alfred J. Ryan, of Elgin Mills, met death early on Tuesday morning, aftâ€" er being struck by a motor car said to have been driven by Frank Allen of Port Perry who has been arrested and held by the authorities on a charge of criminal negligence. The late Mr. Ryan was walking north towards his home after having visited the post office when the accident occured. He was walking on the west side of the road when struck by the car and carried some 200 feet. Death was al- ;most instantaneous. The driver of the death car did not stop, but con- tinued on his way leaving the dead man on the road. Another Fatality 0n Yonge Street Fortunately the number of the car said to have been responsible was tak- en by eleven year old Ross Robinson, who was on his way to Jefferson school. It is reported that the little lad on hearing a noise turned around and saw the man being carried along lthe road by the car. When the car ldid not stop he took out his scribbler and marked down the number of the car which proceeded northwards. His quick action resulted in the setting of a police net for the missing car which resulted in the surrender of Frank Alâ€" len to the Toronto Police on Tuesday night. Allen appeared in police court on Wednesday and bail was set by the Crown at $9000. An inquest will be held at Richmond Hill on Wednesday next, January 30th. Sincere sympathy is extended to the family of the late Mr. Ryan in their sad bereavement. Only last fall on Armistice day a daughter of the deâ€" ceased was struck by a motor car near the scene of this fatal accident and received painful injuries. Less than a year ago a brother of the deceased met with accidental death in Toronto. The late Mr. Ryan was a war veteran and received wounds in France which partially incapacitated him. He is survived by a widow and five children. The funeral will be'held on Friday afternoon and interment will follow at Port Hope. WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The January meeting of Women’s Association was held at the home of Mrs. C. N. Cooper, on Thursday, Jan. 17th, with the President in the chair. Mrs. (Rev.)

Secondly she urged every member to vote and express her opinion one way or the other on all matters pertaining to the organization. Thirdly she urâ€" ged the ladies to give when giving and nothing less than her best for the church so there would be no undue criticism. Mrs. Snedden and Miss Heise kindly contributed to the pleasure of the members by singing the Hymn “For You I am Praying.” Tea was served and a pleasant social time “was enjoyed. A social evening under the auspices of the local W.C.T.U. -will be held for the Teachers of the High and Public Schools on Wednesday, Janu- ary 30th, 1929, at 8 o’clock at the home of Mrs. A. L.

As a matter of fact it was not refused, as after a lengthy discussion it was moved that the letter be laid over, as you saw fit to record the refusal (which I do not admit) ‘you should in fairness to the council ‘record the reason for not complying with the request. Seeing that you yourself attended the meeting you will no doubt recall the explanation given viz the council had discontinued the grant some years back, in view of the fact that the village are called upon to pay one dollar and fifty cents per day for all cases sent from Richmond Hill for treatment where the patients themselves are not in a position to meet the expense. For your infor- _mation I might state that our charity expense sheet of over four hundred dollars for last year was made up principally in meeting Hospital charâ€" ges. As so many pairs of eyes are now focussed on the new councils actions I feel fully justified in penning this letter in their defence if only to assure your readers that the council for 1929 are mindful of the great boon derived from the splendid hospital institutions. May I in conclusion ask you Mr. Edi- tor to give this letter the same public- ity given to the article complained of. ' Yours faithfully Notezâ€"“No action was taken on an appeal for membership in the Ontario Municipal Association and likewise an appeal for a grant to the Sick Chil- dren’s Hospital was refused.” This Was the sentence used in our last issue in reporting the action of the council on an appeal for financial assistance which is sent to every municipality on Ontario by the Sick Children’s Hospi- tal. Mr. Mansbridge a new member of the 1929 council notes with surprise the “crude” manner in which it is reâ€" corded. In another sentence he says that the appeal was not refused but was laid over. In the next sentence he says he does not admit the refusal but says that we should have stated the council’s reasâ€" on for not complying with the request. The standard dictonaries give many meanings for the word “crude” but we submit that the word is more appli- JOHN BUCHANAN, Director of extension of the O. A.

Bargain FOR SALE 3 LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE “ Know What You Sow ” PUBLIC MEETING x’WasoniC Hall .agsday, February 5th, 1929 RICHMOND HILL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY ittle Brothers F. J. MANSBRIDGE Secretary Richmond Hill January 22, 1929 will be held in the at 7 o'Clock. cable to the logic of the writer of this letter than to our reporting of the meeting. Anyway we are at a loss. to understand how we can be expected to give an explanation satisfactory to the new councillor as to the council's reason for not complying with the re- quest, when according to him, the ap- peal was not refused. The facts of the case are exactly as reported in The Liberal of last week- 'A letter was read from the Sick ChiL dren’s -Hospital asking for a grant- The council did not give a grant. We reported that the appeal was refused ‘which is exactly what was done. The reason advanced by councillor Mansbridge that since the village is called upon to pay for indigent patiâ€" ents up keep in hospitals we thought. was such general knowledge in this present day that it was not necessary to take valuable space in its repetitâ€" ion. The Act which made it comâ€" pulsory for municipalities to bear this: ‘cost was instituted in 1912. Since- ‘that time hundreds of municipalities [throughout Ontario continue to give some small annual donations to such: Institutions as the Sick Children’s: Hospital. For “our information” the new councillor states that the charity ex- pense account of last year amounted to over $400. and was made up prinâ€" cipally of meeting Hospital charges- For his information we would point. out that according to the financial statement of the town the Charit)r Account to December 15th amounted to $335.39 and of this $176 was paid for Hospital charges but as far as we have been able to ascertain none of this was paid to the Sick Children's Hospital. For his further information iwe would point out that the village is ‘not called upon to pay $1.50 per day {for indigent patients. This is the rate Ipaid by the County and one half of lwhich is charged to the municipality concerned. The writer is coirect in saying that the public are watching the actions of the new council and we are interestec? in reporting their actions. The pub- lie is not nearly so much interested in excuses and elaborate platitutes in ex- Iplanation of action or inaction. It is what the council does that is import- ant. That is our reason for report. ing that the council at its last meet~ ing refused to give a grant to the Sick Children’s Hospital. We took no issue with the councfi in this matter and had no desire to give any undue publicity to it, but as councillor Mansbridge has asked pub- licity for his letter we are very glatf to extend the privilege to him as to any other ratepayer of the village who desires to express opinions through our columnsâ€"(Editor) A.
