RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO The East Vaughan Ratepayers’ As- sociation held their regular Meeting at Richvale on Monday, May 20th.

Paterson is able to be out again after an illness of six months. The Roads and Lighting Committee reported that they had gone over the roads in the district and presented a very comprehensive report of the con- ditions, it was decided to forward the report to the Vaughan Council for their attention, as the culvert on Garden Avenue in particular, was a menace to public safety. There was a feeling of dissatisfaction amongst the members at the apparent lack of interest displayed by the Council, in regard to general conditions in that portion of the district represented by the Association. The [members spent1 considerable time discussing ways and means of building a hall for their use and it was the feeling of the meeting that the Association finance the scheme by issuing shares to the members. Matter however was referred to the Executive who will report at the next meeting, when the matter will be thoroughly gone into. All memâ€" bers are requested to bear this in mind and make an effort to be preâ€" sent at the next meeting.
