Cochrane, ssioms, ‘ North 0:9 “:10 Markham township council at the‘ regular session on Monday afternoon decided to purchase a brake testing machine for the convenience of motor-j ists in the municipality and for the inâ€"I ccnvenience of outside motorists from outside the municipality who travel‘ the roads and neglect to have their brakes in good working order. It Was pointed out that it is a great in- convenience to be held up in the city of Toronto for a brake test. Often this test takes several hours and is a great inconvenience. It is understood ‘that Deputy-Reeve R. L. Stiver had a lpersonal experience in this regard and was speaking with the knowledge thus gained when he moved for the pur- chase of the equipment. The outfit costs about fifty dollars and will be in charge of constable Walker. Any ratepayers of the township are entitlâ€" ed to a brake test free of charge but there will be a small fee for outsiders who wish to make use of it. The fee will be fifty cents. voices, including choirs from surroun'- ding towns and villages, assisted by musicians from Toronto» FREE BRAKE TESTS IN feiARKflAM TWP. Councillors" Coakwell and Clark in- troduced a motion that an agreement be entered into by the township with the school sections that the municipal- ity retain all school moneys in townâ€" ship treasury until actually needed by the school section. There was conâ€" siderable discussion of the motion but any action was left over until a. future :date. Councillor Coakwell explained that he school sections in many cases had ubstantial surpluses and whereas this chool money is paid out of the town- :hip treasury and then deposited in .he school section account to draw in- terest at three per cent. while the township has to go ahead and borrow at six per cent.

A deputation asked that the stage in the township hall be improved and a suitable curtain purchased. It Was pointed out that the usefulness of the hall would be greatly increased by such additions. Reeve Gohn and councillor Clark were appointed as a committee to inâ€" vestigate and bring the council prices or. the improvements. It is possible he stage will be enlarged and the ('urtain purchased this year and if the expense is not too great there may be alterations to entrance and provisions made for rear exit. On motion of Deputy-Reeve Padget and councillor Coakwell a grant of thirtyâ€"five dollars was made to the Richmond Hill fair. The contract was let to the A. E. Jupp Construction Co. for repairs to culvert and road on John Street in I[{‘hornhill at the approach to Yonge Street. Other streets in Thornhill have been scarified and much valuable work has been done.

The total vote in the four municipalites was 1335 for me- byâ€"law and 110 against. There were only six votes against the pro- posal in Richmond Hill, eight, in Iarkham, ten in Vaughan, and eighty six in North York.

Al- though it was generally conceded that the by-law would carry such a unani- mous vote was hardly! expected even by the most ardent supporters of the project. was obtained the Warden would call a special meeting of the County Counâ€" cil. So far that meeting has not been called but a meeting of the reeves of the four municipalities concerned in ‘the purchase will be held here to-mor- irow. Local municipal men interviewed lthis week\were unanimous'in declaring that all possible should be done to speed up negotiations and have the cars running on Yonge Street as soon as possible. The heavy traffic season will soonI be here and it is of utmost importancel that negotiations should not be held' up to any appreciable extent. Publio opinion will not tolerate any unneces-‘ sary delay in carrying out the ex- pressed will of the people. Technic- alities and red tape should not be al- lowed to hold up the by-law. The people have voted for the cars and it is now the responsibility of the mun- icipal councils to carry out the Wish of the people which is that the street cars run as soon as possible. The ballots had hardly been counted‘ here than there were rumblings from the northern municipalities that they would like the cars to run to New- market and perhaps to Sutton. There is talk of a meeting of the municipal ’1‘epresentatives. It is quite apparent ‘that any such deal the nortlnrn mun- icipalities may make will be apart al- together for the one endorsed by the lelectorate here and it will in no Way ‘interfere with the proposed purchase and the operation of a car service to Richmond Hill. The result in the various subâ€"divisâ€" Deputyâ€"Reeve George Elliott, of North York township has stated that he was definitely opposed to the in- clusion of municipalities north of Richmond Hill in‘ the radial deal for resumed operation. “I feel,” he said, “that the council zmd the people of North York have done more than their share to secure a radial service and the county has no right to antagonize the city of Toron- rno and the T.T.C. in the matter. | “As far as negotiating.with New- \VANT SERVICE TO START SOON For Against . . 108 4 42 1 98 1 ham to secure V'M'r. and Mrs. Frank Harding and} Yonge Street county has no baby Bruce, and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Richmond Hill city of Toron- Baxter, of Toronto, motored to 'Mr. 1e matter. and Mrs. R.

Reeve Lundy and the ma‘yor of Newmarket have not helped in the situation but now that they are re- sponsible they are trying to get out from under it. If the county loses its suit, the people are going to hold the county responsible. It is unfortun- ate that the tw0 commissioners are from the north of the county.” Mr. Elliott stated that he is in fav- or of early action to get the radial cars in action on the line from York Mills to Richmond Hill. ~ Vaughan township council at the regular monthly meeting held at Vell- ore on Monday afternoon considered mainly the subject of equipment for road construction and» maintenance. It is generally conceded that in any line of endeavour the best results and most economic results can only be ob- tained by the use of the best equip- ment possible. This is especially true of road building and if the/muni- cipalities are to get the most value for the taxpayers’ money they must equip themselves with the best in machinery. Vaughan made a notable istep forward in the line of equipment on Monday, when a large 12 foot Adâ€" ‘ams grader with side sloper attach- ment was purchased at a price of $25- 50. This is a modern machine which has proven very valuable in other municipalities and is well adapted for heavy work. It should prove a very valuable addition to Vaughan Town- ship equipment.
