Liberty: In All Things, Charity.” ‘OEOGOEOI That the County in retarding the efforts of the municipalities of North York, Markham, Vaughan and Rich- mond Hill to operate a car service was “not playing the game" was the ‘statement of Deputy Reeve G. 1F.lliott. of North York township in County Council session on Wednesday. The matter of withdrawing the appealand allowing the municipalities of this district to proceed with the operation of the line has not definitely been deâ€" termined but it has not yet been with- drawn. It was confidently expected that following unfavorable rulings from two judges that the County Council would decide to not spend fur- ther money in litigation and would clear the way of any obstacles block- ing the way of the southern municipal- ities which have voted on the question. l This move which means only MORE DELAY for this district was opposed by reeves of municipalities concerned in the purchase of the section of line as far as Richmond Hill. NOT PLAYING THE GAME SAYS REEVE ELLIOT 0F RADIAL DELAY Further Hold-Up For Local Municipalities While County Hesitates To Make Decisionâ€"Appeal Not Withdrawn Despite Arguements Againt Further Expense and Waste of Time. The history of the negotiations was outlined by Deputy-Reeve George EI- liott of North York township. The city has given a price of $150,- 000. for the line from Richmond Hill to Newmarket and a committee of Reeves was appointed to meet the T.T.C. and arrive at a fair division of the capital and operating cost as between King, Whitchurch, Aurora and Newmarket. The annual operat- ing deficit on that portion of line was estimated at between $40,000 and $60- .000. Although the line was "onsidered a paying proposition through the town- ship with 2,200 fares daily, the town- ship‘asked the townships to the north and Richmond Hill to join with them to retrieve the line and offered to bear F5 per cent. of the‘ deficits, when it was of no advantage to them to do so. The object, he said, was to get the line in operation at once. He contended that if a vote were taken in another section of the line, the question should be submitted to the parts which voted before to find if they were in favor of the new agree ment. Reeve Gohn claimed that the only alrangement which Markham would tolerate would be that which had al- ready been proposed, affecting only those people within a mile of Yonge Street. Except possibly in Newmarket, the vote of the people would be against purchase of the line, he predicted. When Justice McEvoy recently ruled in Supreme Court that the city was not obliged to operate the radials, an appeal of this decision was entered. It was moved on Monday that this appeal he dropped. It was also mov- ed that the county not take over the Iailway or any part of it, and that the county waive any right it might have to do so. The resolution sponsored by Deputy Reeve George Elliott, Nor- th York, and Reeve J. J. Lunau, Rich- mond Hill, also advised that the coun- t), consent to Richmond Hill, North York, Markham and Vaughan Townâ€" ships purchasing and operating that section of the service from Richmond and returned with the f prize. Skip James Mc prize and skip G. Mood winning rink received c the second prize was men and luncheon sets The rinks were, Miss M. Stephens, Mrs. E. T. McLean, skip; Miss M< well, Mrs. Kerswell, G. K. Agnew, Wes. Well and A. E. Glass parti Newmarket tournament Reeve Robson of Vaughan stated that he had not received one request for the radial to operate above Elgin Mills and be doubted Whether the vote would be in favor of the two-mile stretch. F. A. Lundy, reeve of Newmarket, admitted that the deficits would be gleater above Newmarket and ex- pressed the opinion that the Iine would not be acceptable there. He said that the capital cost of the 12 miles of rad- ial line from Richmond Hill to New- market would be about $150,000 and he advised a conference to adjust the percentages of cost to be borne by each of King, Whitchurch, Aurora and Newmarket. ALL NIGHT SERVICE mmb 0:0] Hill to Toronto Mr. Elliott maintained that when the southern municipalities voted to purchase their section of the railway, the northern sections could have taken similar action, but were unwilling, under any circumstances, to pay any :x‘ the cost. He advised stopping all litigation and letting the four munici- palities buy the southern section. Reeve F. A. Lundy, Newmarket, and Reev Archie Murray, Aurora, put for- th an amendment that the county take over the line, and appoint a committee at the present session to look after its operation. An amendment to this amendment, that the county carry on present litigation, was likewise not put to the vote. Discussion on the wisdom of con- tinuing litigation centred around the cost of pressing the appeal, and the chances of ultimately winning. Reeve Lundy explained the notice of appeal had been formally filed, but there would be no difficulty if council Wished to drop the appeal. “Gideon Grant has put in a bill, and las far as $5,000 is concerned, that isn’t going to be a patch of it,” commenced Reeve Murphy, Mimico. “Two judges so far have decided against us. Why go on?” The clause that the county waive the right to take over the railway or any portion met opposition from some northern members. J. 0. Little, New- market, thought that, when northern centres voted this fall regarding tak- ing over the radial, there was strong ‘possibilities the proposal would carry. 1He declared a bus service would cause [heavy damage to the highways. It was suggested Mr. Grant be con: qulted regarding the probable outcome of further legal action. Members were puzzled as to what to do when it was announced he was not available, hav- ing left Toronto for Vancouver. Reeve Holborn, of Sutton, was soun- dly opposed to any further litigation. “I don’t feel the municipalities of New- market can carry the burden,” he said. “Would you be willing to drop th: matter enquired Reeve Lundy, of New- market. "Absolutely,” replied Mr. Holborm The committee of reeves to meet the T.T.C. relative to securing informal- icn re operation of the line north of Richmond Hill to Newmarket was ap- pointed. Two local rinks attended the mixed tournament at Aurora on Wednesday and returned with the first and second prize. Skip James McLean won first prize and skip G. Moodie, second. The winning rink received cutlery sets and the second prize was dishes for the men and luncheon sets for the ladies. The rinks were, Miss M. McLean, E. T. Stephens, Mrs. E. T. Stephens, Jas. McLean, skip; Miss Moodie, C. Kers- well, Mrs. Kerswell, G. Moodie, skip. Unless other action is taken' by the County Counpil before the end of the session the prospect of having the cars run on Yonge Street before Dominion Day as was hoped is very remote. The continual blocking of the operation of this end of the line, the delay, the con- tinued litigation in the face of unfav- orable decisions from tiwo judges all work to the detriment of the North Yonge Street District which on May 31d voted almost unanimously in favor of taking over and operating the line. It is hoped that before the end of the council session wiser counsel may pre- vail and the way will yet be cleared for logical solution of the radial prob- 1cm, and that those in places of trust will be big enough to deal with the proposition as a business proposition.
