Dr. Fair of the ‘Ontario Department of Health was alâ€" so present and spoke at some length The meeting was called to consider the report of Nurse Vrooman who has conducted. a Public Health Nursing demonstration in these municipalities during the past year. The report which was presented to the meeting was published in The Liberal last week. Many favorable comments were made concerning the report and concerning the work which has been carried on throughout the district: The opinion was unanimous that it was a work which should be continued and a resolution by George Gee of Richmond Hill and seconded by Reeve Wilson, favoring its continuance was unani- mously passed. ‘ ‘ The: câ€"ost of carrying on the work was discussed but no definite arrange- ment was made. This feature will probably be discussed by the various councils who will take up the question from that angle at their regular meet- ings next week. The approximate cost is $2000. of which the province pays $500. leaving $1500 to be paid by ithe three participating municipalities.

County Engages Expert to Advise re York County‘are engaging a rail- way expert to give advice concerning the Metropolitan radial and he will be secured and on the job just as soon as it is possible for him to get here. This was the decision of the County trans- portation committee after having in- terviewed the Board of Control and the Toronto Transportation Commisâ€" sion last week. The Beard of Control stated quite clearly that they would be guided by the T.T.C. and referred the deputation to that body. The County councillors interviewed the “three transportation commissioners on Thursday last but were told that the Commission was still standing by its report to the board of Control and that any contrary action must come from that body. It is possible how- ever that the date (if September 30th which has been fixed for the discon- tinuing of the service will be extended to allow the County time to make complete investigation. Some time ago the T.T.C. engaged an expert who went over the whole Metropolitan line and reported in fav- or of its abandonment and recommenâ€" ded the substitution of busses. The report and findings of the County ex- pert will be anxiously awaited for by the people of the district who feel that the line with good business manage- ment and free from bus competition should be a success. COACH LINES AND THE RADIALS Writing in The Globe this week a correspondent expresses himself re- garding the Metropolitan radial situ- ation as follows;â€"The sum of $105,â€" 000 was expended on" a gauge alter- nations and other improvements and was charged to current expenses on Metropolitan (Lake Simcoe Lines) ‘radials. The total operating deficit was $110,000. It would be interesting to know ex- actly how much was expended on gauge alterations (which Were not opâ€" erated) and the other items included in the total, and also the amount of \loss transferred to radial accounts for Gray Coach Line operations on North ‘Yonge Street, The interesting fact is that $105,000 was expen/‘zd on radial improvements, yet ’the Manager reports that no ad- vertising was done because it had been decided to abandon the radial. ‘ What the public wants to know is: 1 Who had decided to abandon the city- - owned radials and who is responsible for the gross mismanagement of thel radial? ‘ ' The opinion is growinguthat if thel T.T.C. management had put as much“ energy into the work of running the - radial as is the case with Gray Coach ‘Lines, there would be no more talk of abandoning the radial, which only needs efficient administration.” SOME MORE ON RADIALS AND BUSSES G. H. Price, of Richmond Hill, in the Daily Star this week commented as follows on the radial and bus controv- ersy:â€"“In regard to your editorial of July 18th re busses and the Metropol-‘ titan, you say the T.T.C. has been able ‘to take\off a number of car trips and lsubstitute bus trips, at a saving of i‘money, as one man buses can be oper- ated more cheaply than radial cars. Then sir, why is the fare on the buses -to Richmond Hill about double to what it is on the radial. The fares are as follows: On radial single, 30 cents; on buses, 55 cents; on radial, return 55 cents; on buses, $1.00; on radial, commuters 12-1'ide book tickets' $2.40; on buses, $4.95. Let the T.T.C. come down to earth in regard to fares on buses, and they will be patronized more than they are at present, and would help to reduce the loss on the radial. If this is an example of what the buses- would charge should the radial be disbanded, then the outlook for north Yonge St. is anything but bright.” Bridge: A structure used to ef ect a crossing.

The York Radials Despite the warmth of the weather the second annual Field Day of the East Vaughan Ratepayers Association was held at Richvale on Saturday af- ternoon and was a very successful ev- ent. There as a gOOd crowd in atten- dance and the program of Sports was much enjoyed. Many spirited con-‘ tests featured the afternoon and‘ young and old entered into all the games \with the real enthusiastic pic- nic spirit. The Thornhill orchestra provided music during the afternoon which was much appreciated. The games and booths were well patroniz- led, the weather being condusive to lbumper sales of ice cream and pop. In the softball game Thornhill won “from Newmarket by a score of 14-4. ‘An attractive feature was the tug-of- war. The ladies had their pull first and it was a real battle with the local ladies being victorious over the girls ANNUAL FIELD DAY HELD AT RICHVALE "THE HOME OF HIGH CLASS ENTERTAINMENT- YONGE AND GLEN FOREST SATURDAY MATINEE AT 2.30 P.M.
