Held Annual Meeting Tuesday Although hockey championships are still the topic of the day in the sport world, active preparations are under way for the coming season in Canada’s national game, Lacrosse. In this Richmond Hill is particularly interested and Young Canadians, holders of the McCarthy Cup and the senior Triâ€"County Championship are preparing for an active season in 1933. At present Frank Doyle of Orillia, president of the league, is in poor health, and will not likely be able to take an active part in the loop he helped to form and guide so strongly for two years. It was decided to hold a meeting next Friday evening, March 24th, for the purpose of organizing for lacrosse for the coming year. All interested in promoting this popular game in the district are cordially invited to turn out to this meeting. Remember the date, Friday (to-morrow), March 24th, in the council chamber at 8 pm. The annual meeting of the Rich- mond Hill A.A.A. was held Tuesday evening and an organization meeting for Lacrosse is billed for the near future. Lacrosse fans in other towns in the circuit are active and in many the organization meetings have al- ready been held and players are al- ready in training. What will be the Lacrosse line-up for 1933? This is'the question which every fan asks. Despite rumors to the contrary it seems likely that the 'IH‘i-County will be operating in full force this year. It is also quite like- ly that the organization will affiliate with the O.A.L.A. ‘ NO‘ H2 Days Th ursday, ECLARK CABLE _,filnl\‘“lf\--nlni\n buoz=o=m VOL.

They propose to cover the ice pipes in the rink with sand, and if this won‘t work, the team will perform outside. Harold A. (Gunner) Gill of Camp Borden will not likely seek the strenu- ous job of secretary again this year, but will confine his efforts to hand- ling the Air Force team, left leaderâ€" less by the tragic death of Captain Leo Charron and the poor health of Sergeant Duggan. Huntsville Hawks, 1932 intermediate champions, have engaged Ernie (Turk) Doyle of Newmarket as coach, after his successful season with the hockey team. The Hawks will prob- ably seek a berth in the senior series. Midland, last year’s tail-enders in the Northern Intermediate Group of the Triâ€"County Lacrosse Association, will not be represented in the assoc- iation this year, it is stated in the Midland Argus. A number of Mid- land lacrosse enthusiasts including “Wes” Brennan, the well-known for- mer Orillian who played on the local juvenile champions in 1910, are sup: porting a movement in Midland to form a juvenile league comprised of teams from Midland, Port McNicoll and Penetang. Alliston has already had a meeting and elected officers. Nearly every prominent man in town is on the ex- ecutive, including T. P. Loblaw, presâ€" ident of the grocery chain, Who is a former Alliston man. Roy Brooks will again manage the club, but the matter of a coach has been left till later. Walter Scott Sin, W. Cappell, F. S. Tyndall, and James McLean skip represented Richmond ‘Hill at the an- nual ’spiel of the Royal Canadian Club in Toronto this week. Rinks from Thornhill, Agincourt and Unionville also too part.

ONTARTO THITPSDAY1 MAR'I‘H 22rd. 1933 The problem of collecting some $18,000.00 arrears of taxes, about $10,000.00 of which is for 1932 occu- pied the attention of the council of Richmond Hill Village at a special session held Wednesday evening. Reeve J. A. Greene stressed the im- portance of' keeping tax collections up if the good financial standing of the municipality is to be maintained. We have struck our rate and made our budget for this year and we must put forth every effort to make collection he said. Reeve Greene said he ap- preciated to the full the position of those who were unable to pay, but he thought that the council should face the situation squarely and try and find a solution. Councinor Middleton said that if the people had the money they would pay their taxes, but the trouble was they did not have the money. Coun- ciHor McLean thought that those in arrears might be interviewed and an effort made to have them wipe out arrears by a series of small payments. Téwn Fafihers Face Problem of $18,000.00 of Unpaid Taxesâ€"-About $10,000.00 of 1932 Levy Still Unpaid Councillor Little concurred in this suggestion. Several plans of helping collection were discussed and all thel members agreed that a real effort should be made this year to reduce the amount of arrears. Adoption of any definite plan was left over for a future meeting. Given Permit for Gas Tank J. W. Palmer and W. C. Savage asked permission to install a gasoline pump on Yonge Street in front of their property in the Lorne Block, formerly occupied as a fire hall. On motion of councillors McLean and Little the permission was granted. COUNCIL AIMS TO REDUCE AMOUNT OF TAX ARREARS to another. “Because a mistake has been made in the past is no reason Why we should continue doing wrong” said councillor Middleton. Councillors Mc- Lean and Little Who made the motion granting permission said they did not think a pump at that particular point was very desirable, but under existing conditions they were agreeable to granting a permit. They pointed out that the property had been vacant for some time and the owners now had a chance to secure a tenant. The pump Will be erected at the extreme north- rly limit of the Lorne block. It was suggested that the councili should take up the matter of passing} a by-law forbidding curb pumps, which is the policy adopted in many otherl centres. . Reeve Greene drew attention to the fact\that the Trumpet Band recently held a carnival at the rink and it had failed to be a financial success. The band was always very good in turning out in community affairs and he thought some consideration should be. given the band in the rental paid the village for the rink. Any action on the suggestion was laid over until the next meeting owing to the absence of councillor Mills, chairman of the arena committee. on the curb. Reeve Greene and the other members of council pointed out that already there are several curb pumps in the village and the council could hardly refuse the same privilege A by-law was passed entering into an agreement with the Hydro Elec- tric Commission for the installation of hot water heaters on a flat rate basis. Councillor Middleton opposed grant- ing the permit as he said he felt it would cause congestion in the traffic and be dangerous. He pointed out that on the highway pumps had to be a certain distance from the road, but here in the village Where We have the added danger of a street ‘car line in the centre of the road we have pumps BOWLERS TO MEET A general meeting of the share- holders and members of the Richmond Hill Lawn Bowling Club will be held in the council chamber next Monday evening at 8 p.m. A Euchre, Bridge and Dance will be held in Richvale School WCdnta- day evening, March 29th, under the auspices of the Richvale Athletic As- sociation.

The second match between Ben- sonians and Commercials, captained by Messrs. Pattenden and Blanchard respectively, proved to be more even- ly matched. Good team play was ex- hibited, and the three contact featlire of the play noticeably improved. Several prospectively. good returns were netted, however, chiefly due to the second contact endeavoring to re- turn without assistance. Total score on the match, 45 to 28 favor Patten- den’s team.
