He was a. member of the session of the church, a mem- ber of the Board of Trustees and for many years one of the choir. During the service Miss E.

He was for many years a valued member of the Rich- mond Hill Board of Education, re- signing only a few weeks ago owing- to his continued ill health. His court-l sel was always appreciated by those‘ associated with him on the Board‘ during his long term of service. Thei late Mr. Atkinson was an enthusias- tic curler and until the prksent year was an active member of the Rich- mond Hill Curling Cub, where his genial companionship and good sports manship will be greatly missed.

Interest in the out- lined program was emphasised by the large attendance. The earnest ef- fort on the part of all participants to do his best individually, and there- by br’ing‘ credit to his team was pleas ingly noticeable. All groups are ex- hibiting much better team work than last season. First season players are showing a reamrkably adaptability to team work. Much credit is due to the employees of the Mills floral in- dustry in co-operating to the extent that two complete teams are entered from that source. Each team is con- fined to a list of eight definite play-1 ers from which, it must realize sixi to contest in any match provided for‘ on the schedule. A large number of floral tributes were evidence of the esteem and af- fection of a wide circle of friends who deeply mourn his passing. The Lib- eral joins with the people of this com- munity in extending sincerest sym- pathy to the bereaved family. and T. Morbson of York Township, A. L. Phipps, H. B. Stirling, C. Marsh and J. E.

RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO THURSDAY, JANUARY 11th, 1934 Relief accounts for 'groceries and supplies were passed amounting to $756.70, and fuel and clothing amount ing to $505.99. This was for the Following the re-appointment of the assessors Thomas Flett for the )Nest side and R. Forester for the east side at the same salaries as last year, Reeve Padget made a plea for an equitable assessment. In all my years of public office I have never made a suggestion to any assessor as to what any assessment should be, but I do ask that you make a special effort to make a just and equitable assessment. And what's more, said Reeve Padget, remember the council at the court of revision is the final judge on the assessment. We do not want dissatisfaction with the assess- ment. We do not want the rate- payers on one side or the other say- ing that they think they are unfairly assessed. I say to the assessors that toâ€"day We have judged you as men capable of going out and assessing this township. Go out and do your duty. And if at court of revision I think the assessment you have made is not just and equitable to all I will not hesitate to tear it‘to pieces. At the outset of the meeting Reeve Padget congratulated all the mem- bers on their election and asked for their support and co-operation in carrying on the business of the town- ship during the‘year. Deputy-Reeve Clark said that the returns had to be made and he felt the only thing to do was leave it to the road superintendent to complete the books. ' Alright, said Reeve‘ Padget, I can tell you it will take a whole month if you leave it that way. It will not, said Mr. Maxwell, who said that he could not give a definite estimate of 'the time that would be required. That's the trouble, said Reeve Pad- get, I think your too cheap. The roads superintendent stated that he did not think that after work- ing all summer at fifty cents per hour without any allowance for his car that he should be leg out in the winter. He explained that he drove his car about 12000 miles in the year. “Why do you want to continually ride me?” asked Mr. Maxwell of Reeve Pad‘get. The reeve denied that he had any intention of “riding” the official. “Oh yes you have,” said Mr. Max- well, “you’ve been riding me all sum- mer.” The Reeve said he did not want. to enter into any controversy, but he wished the ccouncil to decide the matâ€" ter. Councillor Hoover, who attended the morning session, was absent when the discusion came up as he had to attend Grand Jury. Councillor Charles H. Hooper said that he thought ten days should be sufficient for the superintendent to finish up his books. One can do a lot of bookkeeping in ten days, I think, said Mr. Hooper. Councillor Rennie said he thought that there was nothing- to do but give the official time to complete his books. He asked Mr. Maxwell if ten days would be sufficient. I am the cheapest road superin- tendent in any pf the municipalities around here, said Mr. Maxwell, quot- ing the salary paid to similar offic- ials in other townships. I got them ready in two days, once, said the Reeve. REEVE PADGET FAVORS MONTH’S HOLIDAY FOR THE ROAD SUPT.

Now you can pay him ten- thousand dol- lars i/ you want to, said the reeve. Superintendenh Maxwell explained that he did not have his annual re- Vurns made out for the government. How long will that take, asked the Reeve. Discussing the retaining of the road superintendent through the winâ€" ter months at the inaugural meeting of Markham Township Council on Monday, Reeve Padget declared that he favored giving the superintendent a month’s holidays.‘ Last year the reeve explained, the superintendent LET’S GET GOING NOW.
