We regret we are unable to meet this request, but the improved high- way condition and the resultant in- creasing use of trucks and private automobiles has so seriously affected the revenues of' this railway, that it was absolutely necessary to make re- Monday, March 11 Tuesday, March 12 a Wednesday, March 13 Qflmericas Finest Entertainer] ’ Mon., Tues, Wed'y, March 11, 12, 13 A THREEâ€"RING THRILLER OF THE AIR TheAir Circus with LOUISE DRESSER DAVID ROLLINS SUE CAROL ARTHUR LAKO IN THE ° l HERE’S YOUR GREATEST ENTERTAINMENT OPPORTUNITY Erin-EednsidarNisht COMEDY NEWS EVENTS Comingâ€"Uncle Tom's Cabinâ€"March 14, 15, 16 M HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT anonâ€"2“": o=o= i i l l i l l l l l l Thornhill on Wednesday even- mede, Bolton and Richmond Hill T v -=' «a s: a: s: 2: :1: :2 :2 ;_; * ductions in service and reductions ’5 ‘ ' ' ' i i . . ’ . - v The fifth annual High School com- “ H were made at those times of the day “ CONGRATI.

Motor Accident One more fatality was added to the long list of accidents on Yonge Street on Wednesday evening, when William Leonard, six year old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Leonard. Rumble Avenue was almost instantly killed when he was struck by a truck just north of Elgin Mills. The unfortunate lad accompanied by five year old Donald MacMillan were walking south. when the accident oc- curred. According to witnesses both boys took a sudden move to cross the street. but Donald MacMillan quickly jumped back and saved himself, but the Leonard boy was struck. The truck which belongs to the John Shell Car-tage Co.. Toronto was driven by Fred Cole. ‘21 Ontario Street. and was brought to a stop in twelve feet and the driver of the truck took the injur- ed boy to the office of Dr. Langstaff where he was rendered first aid. but passed away in a few minutes. Con- stable S. Barraclough investigated the accident. but after hearing the story of the witnesses and testing the brak- es of the truck attached no blame to the driver and allowed him to go, An inquest concerning the death will be held in the Magistrates office next Tuesday evening at 7.330 p. m. McLaughlin-Buick A'i‘WATER KENT and ROGER. l l The regular meeting of the Rich- mond Hill Board of Trade will be held in the council chamber next Monday evening at 8 p. m. A large attendance of the members and citizens is desired as Mr. Murr of >s Department of the Canadian National Railways will be the Industrial present to discuss ways ‘and means of obtaining industries and to explain how that department of the railway is prepared to co-operate with the Board of Trade in this important work. In view of the refusal of the T.T.C. to grant any consideration of the re- quest of some six hundred ratepayers who signed a petition asking for ad- iditional car service it is likely that 'ti‘ansportation problems will also be discussed. An important recommendation from form of future meetings of the Board will be presented for the consideration of the members. the program committee relating to the ‘ ing. None of the four passen- gers were hurt and all made their way to safety through the door in the top of the bus. It is understood that the driver of bus crowded too close to the side of the road and that when the wheel hit the soft shoulder the bus took to the ditch. ti$**tl\*‘#ttttt..t RICHMO‘ND HILL WON Richmond Hill hockey team visited Bradford on Wednesday night and succeeded in winning from the north- crn village by a 4â€"3 score.
