‘cillor Davis supported the nomination of L‘Iag‘isiru’n- Dunee'ln and made a strong plea for the appointment of a woman to the other vacancy. He suggested the ‘name of Mrs. A. L. Phipps. Reeve Lunau nominated Ex- Reeve T. H. Trench. Councillor Chapman nominated R. Petch. A vote taken by the chairman resulted A communication was read from the Richmond Hill Women’s Institute asking the council to appoint a wo- man to the Richmond Hill School Board. Reeve Lunau said he had been approached on this question and he nominated Mrs. W. H. Mylks to fill one vacancy. Councillor Middleton moved the appointment of Magistrate G. H. Duncan. He said Mr. Duncan had been a very capable member and chairman of the Board and felt that his services should be retained. Counâ€" cillor Davis supported the nomination Councillor Middleton answered that the tender was all right. It stated a price of 7.47 per square and the coun- cil figured that out to be some $150, less than the other two tenders which stated a lump sum for covering the roof. “‘It was our mistake, we pro- bably didn’t do' it in a business-like way but the final cost was only some 35.50 higher than the lowest tender.” Councillor Simsâ€"So if any rateâ€" payer asks us about it we’re to give the answer that it was bad busmess on our part. Councillor Middleton â€" Yes we’re all to blame. You were here. Reeve Lunau stated that the roof was a good job and if the council nev- or make any worse mistakes than that they need have few regrets. The other contentious clause was that for the appointment of the asses- sor. Councillor Sims was in the chair for the second reading of the by.law and when it came to the assessor ap- pointment, Reeve ,Lunau moved and councillor Chapman seconded that G. Moodie be appointed. Councillor Middleton moved an amendment that the appointment be left over until the February meeting and that the clerk be instructed to advertise for appli- cations for the position. “We have been talking revision and an equaliz- ation of the assessment for years” said councillor Middleton. Last year We talked about it and appointed a committee, but it got us nowhere. We can call for applications and any- one can apply and state their price for doing the job. I think the only way we will ever get anywhere is to get an outside man to assess the whole town over again. Once it was done right it would be an easy matter to carry on from year to year. He suggested that the applications he in by the February meeting. Councillor Davis seconded the amendment which when put resulted in a tie vote, Councillor Sims who was in the chair East the deciding vote for the amend- ment which was declared carried. Councillor Sims said he had stated his platform which favored a revision of the assessment and he would not go back on it. Cguncillor Sims raised the question of the cost of the arena roof. How is it he asked that it cost some $158.00 more than the tender. It was impossible he said to set hours for a police officer as no-one knew when he would be needed. “We have to leave it to his judgment” he said “and I think we’ve had good sat- isfaction.” Councillor Chapman said he had no fault to find with the officer but he thought possibly a better and more businesslike agreement could be drawn up. Councillor Middleton moved that the salary be the same as last year. . This was seconded by councillor Davis and carried,_ no a- mendment being offered. * During the passing of the annual appointments By-Law there were two contentious points. The first was the fixing of the salary for the con- stable. Last year the constable was paid fifty cents per hour for the time served. Councillors Chapman and Sims thought that a better arrange- ment could he arrived at. Reeve Lu- nau said he had given the matter a lot of thought and that he couldn’t see Where it could be bettered. a. m. Reeve Lunau in addressing the members asked for their co-oper- ation during the coming year and exâ€" pressed the hope that every member would feel free to express his opinion on every question coming before the council. Following a short session in the morning- the council adjourned and met again in the clerk’s office, when the business was concluded. Richmond Hill municipal legislators met in inauguarl session in the coun- cil chamber on Monday morning at 11 Majority of Council Votes For Revision of Assessment COUNCILLORS FORECAST A SHAKE-UP OF COMMITTEES Middleton, Davis and Sims Support Amendment For a Change - Magistrate Duncan and Ex-Reeve Trtnch Appointed To School Board.

Mr. Neal of Aurora, was granted permission to erect a curb pump at the Dominion Hotel property which he recently purchased, EASY! QUICK! GLYCERIN MIX FOR CONSTIPATION The fee is five dollars and councill- or Middleton objected on the grounds that he saw no benefit derived by Richmond Hill. “We got no report from the delegate we sent last year” he said. “The Reeve doesn’t even know if he was there or not.” Reeve Lunau said he thought he was there one day. A grant of five dollars was given to the Sick Children’s Hospital. With councillor Middleton opposed the council again joined the Ontario Good Roads Association and the Reeve was appointed as a delegate to attend the three day session in Toronto in February. A salary increase of $400 was voted to Magistrate G. H. Duncan making his total salary $1000. per annum dat- ing from March lst and the salary of Clerk and Treasurer A. J. Hume was increased to $2000. Members were unanimous in making both increases and paid tribute to the eflficiency of both oflicials. i The committees for the year were not appointed on Monday night. That will be taken up at the February meeting and there promises to be some changes. Councillor Davis has asked to be changed from the Finance committee to the \Vaterworks. He said he felt he could give better servâ€" ice there. Councillor Sims hintâ€" ed that he would like to have his name removed from the Rink committee as he was not consulted about what was going on. At the December meeting there was a motion that everything be left in the hands of the chairman. I would rather serve on a committee where I could be of some use he said. Reeve Lunau’s idea was that commit. tees be the same as lasz year with councillor Chapman taking the place of ex-councillor Mansbridge. The members however appear to feel other wise and at the next meeting a shake- up looks likely. Councillor Sims thought present conditions were a disgrace. He thought the council was duty bound to remove it from the business section How about the people coming into town to do business, he said, where can they park? We should certainly look after this. Reeve Lunau said that that would be out of the question, but he favored taking it_ from the business sectlon when necessary, but they couldn’t draw it away every little snow fall. Councillor Middleton â€" The busi- ness men get their snow removed, the side streets get oil and up where we live we get nothing. Councillor Chapman said if they took it off the business section they should take it off all along the sheen. Councillor Sims also made a strong appeal that Yonge Street be kept clear of snow in the business section. The business men pay business tax enough to take care of this he said. Councillor Sims reported that there would be a few weeks delay in start- ing the reconstruction work on the local lighting system owing to a. hold- up in securing the poles. On motion of councillors Middleton and Chapman 3. bill from A. G. Sav- age for 8.67 for fixing cellar drain was ordered paid. The work was necessary through the faulty install- ation of one of the town man-holes on Yonge Street. in the election of Magistrate Duncan for a three year term and T. H. ’h‘en- ch for two years completing the term of Prof. W. 0. Walker, resigned.

Elliott THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO The trustees of the Public Hall call- ed a meeting of the ratepayers of the 1community for the election of officers and transaction of other business on Saturday night. The retiring trus- ‘tees, Messrs Stanley Boynton and Louis Stoutenburgh gave an excellent 1report of their stewardship. The ‘surplus in funds handed to the new board of trustees was 856.00. Both these men have quite extensive enter- prises of their own. In spite of the demands 50f their private business they take second place to no one in this part of the township in the spendâ€" ing of themselves for the public weal. They felt however that it was only fair that the honour in connection with this public institution should be shar- ed by others and accordingly asked to be relieved of the duties they have so ably filled for several years and for which they have received such very generous remuneration. ‘ 7.30 p. m.â€"â€"Y.P.S. {V’I‘hursday 7.30â€"Y.
