“It shall be the auty of the Utility Man as follows: He shall be Collector of Taxes, Caretaker of the Rest Room; he shall clean the manholes on Mill Street four times a year at his own expense and clean Mill and Caroline Street pave- ments four times a year with the assistance of one man supplied by the Village Council to help him at the time directed by the chairman of roads and bridges.” “As General Utility Man he shall be required to keep close watch on the water system, tank and hydrants; if a leak or leaks occur in any of the pipes or hydrants he shall immediately employ some person or persons to repair same with as little delay as possible and furnish the chairman of the water works committee with a true account of the time of all persons employed to do such work. He shall supervise all work being done to sidewalks, roads, culverts and bridges while under construction or being repaired and furnish the chairman of the roads and bridges with an ac- count of the time for work done by all persons employed ,And the employee shall remove the snow from the crossings on Mill Street at his own expense. He shall at his own ex- pense destroy and prevent from seeding all noxious weeds on all the streets of the Village within the area bounded by Collingwood, Louisa, Mary and George Streets, and cause the same to be done on all the other streets within the cor- porate limits and at the expense of the Village. When municipalities can protect themselves from milk- borne disease by the simple process of heating the milk to 140 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit an dholding it there for a limited period of time, it seems strange that there should be any opposition to this process. As to the change in the food value of the milk resulting from pasteurizationâ€"elab- orate investigations in the feeding of animals and children have clearly shown that this elevation of temperature does not adversely affect the nutritional value of the milk in any way; it does, on the other hand, make it absolutely safe. The time would, therefore, appear to be opportune for mak- ing the pasteurization of milk compulsory in the interest of public health and safety. It does not seem to be fair that innocent children and other members of the community should be subjected to diseases which can be readily con- trolled and have been controlled in hundreds of municipal- ities Where pasteurization has bee enforced. CREEMORE BELIEVES IN GETTING _ THE WORTH OF ITS MONEY Creemore Village Council recently appointed H. G. Cars- cadden as General Utility Man, Constable and Superinten- dent of the Hydro Electric System, at an annual salary of $400. In the by-law ratifying his appointment, the multi- farious duties assigned to him are set forth as follows: Pasteurization is a proven safeguard Ior the health of our people. Such disease producing germs may be derived from the cow itself, which may be suffering from tuberculosis, mastitis or contagious abortion, While other germs, like those of typhoid fever and diphtheria, may come from the excretions of the milker who fails to live up to a reasonable standard of cleanliness. All such germs, irrespective of their source, are destroyed by the moderate heat used in the process of pasteurization. During that period there have been no epidemics of typhoid fever or other milk-borne diseases in Toronto, but there have been a number of such epidemics in other com- munities Where pasteurization of milk has not been com- pulsory. In 1931 in St. Catharines 457 cases of para- typhoid fever were due to improperly pasteurized milk; in 1930 in Kirkland Lake 400 cases of septic sore throat re- sulted from the distribution of unpasteurized milk; in 1925 in Vinelands 11 cases of diphtheria were due toan infected milk handler, and many other examples could be quoted. “The said employee shall also be Constable and San- itary Inspector for the Village. It shall also be his duty to superintend the Hydro Electric System, read the meters and do any repairs to street lights and see that they are lighted and turned off at the proper time- “As Constable it shall be his duty to enforce :n a reas- onable manner all the provisions of the Municipal By-laws, the Liquor Control Act, theHighway Traffic Act and any other laws where required. vv.--r....‘, . In more recent years March has been notable, too. On March 21, 1917 Dr. Bell received the Medal of Honour for distinguished public service. What are now commonplace direct circuit 10ng distance telephoning facilities were in- troduced March 22, 1925, while March 7, 1926 was the date on which was held the first public demonstration of two- way trans-Atlantic telephone service between North Amer- ica and Europe. Nearly twenty years ago the City of Toronto made the pasteurization of its milk supply compulsory. Since that time not a single case of milk-borne tuberculosis‘has come into the Sick Children’s Hospital from Toronto but 13 per cent of all the cases of tuberculosis admitted to that Insti- tution are of bovine origin derived from unpasteurized milk. All such cases come from outside the City. As examples, it was cited that 58 years ago to-day Bell’s telephone patent, No. 174,465 and the most valuable ever drafted, was allowed. It was in March 1878 that Hamilton’s telephone exchange, the first in the British Empire and the second in the world, was opened. On March 25 of that year, Dr. Bell forecast the introduction of long distance telephone exchange service. Two years earl- ier, March 10, 1876, the telephone had acquired its first physical existence. The first long distance telephone line between Toronto and Hamilton was completed March 15, 1881 one year to the day after the late Charles Fleetford Sise, founder of the Bell Telephone Company had met in Montreal with Thomas Swinyard of Toronto to open nego- tiations for the purchase of the old Dominion Telegraph Company. _ _ _ . __ , n, 1v, nu v v.- uvu V“, In commemoration of the birth of Dr. Bell, the “Blue 7lell” ensign will be flown on Bell Telephone buildings '.hroughout Ontario and Quebec on that day. In connection with this eventful day in the history of the telephone it is fitting to recall that March has been outstanding through the years of telephone development as a month in which much notable progress has been made. March 3rd marks the anniversary of the birth 87 years ago in 1847 of Alexander Graham Bell, who in 1874 at Brant ford, Ontario, invented the fielephqne.

Graham of Markham came in ahead, and Lanill of Aurora second. The great attraction of the evening, as was anticipated, was the fancy skat- ing by Miss M. H; Douglas of Tor- onto. This young lady was neatly and modestly attired, was graceful in her movements, and eVerybody present seemed delighted with the part she took in the evening’s program. Among the figures cut were her initialsâ€"M. H. D.â€"Inside Edge, the figure 8, Spread Eagle, Scissors, Fish, Roll and Vines, etc. Although the ice was too soft for fancy skating, Miss Douglas performed her part well and kept good time with the music furnished by the band. The entries for the Cake Walk didn‘t fill, consequently that part could not be given. Ever since it became reasonably clear that the Metropolitan would in a short time be able to carry all kinds of freight, there has been a feeling among the citizens that an effort should be made to establish a. market. Messrs. C. D. Warren and J. W. Moyesv, President and Manager of the Railway Company respectively, were in the Village Saturday evening and talked over this and other matters with the Council and a few of the ratepayers. The result of this inter- view was a Public Meeting held in the Lorne Hall last evening and call- ed by Reeve Savage in compliance with a requisition from a number of citizens. Keen interest was shown by most of those present and before clos ing be meeting the following resolu- ing the meeting the following resolu- seconded by J. H. Sanderson was car- ried: That it is deemed advisable that the establishment of a grain elevator and the providing of accommodation for a Banking Institution and Ex- press and other offices, would be in the interest of this community, and that a committee be appointed to evolve some plan to that end. The committee named to act in conjunction with the Village Council are, J. A. E. Switzer, I. Crosby, W. H. Pugsley, H. A. Nicholls‘, J. H. Sanderson, M. Mc- Nair, W. Harrison, T. F. McMahon. Mr. T. H. Bull, Clerk of the Peace of York County, has resigned, and Mr. H. E. Irwin of Weston has been appointed to the vacancy. The Markham Bonspiel which was to have been held on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week, has been postponed on account of the soft weather. 0n Febuary 4th, 1899 after a brief illness, Mr. Wm. Munshaw passed away at his late home, Langstaff. Messrs. W. H. Pugsley, John A. Boag and Ward“ Woodcock attended the annual meeting u): we Loronto Industrial Exhibition Association on Tuesday as representatives of York County Council. 7 . A large number of friends met at the residence of ex-Warden SIater, Buttonville, on ‘Friday evening, and presented Mr. J. S.

Funeral was held from his late residence to Prospect Cemetery on Thursday, Feb. SIGNS 1y. The attendance of spectators and skaters was satisfactory, though the number of masqueraders was not large. Some of the costumes were very pretty. Probany one of the richest and best costumes ever ex- hibited here was worn by a Mr. Byrne of Toronto who represented the Duke of Buckingham, but he did not ap- pear until the prizes had been dis- tributed. THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO From Our Issue of Feb. 23rd, 1899 The Anglican Parishes of Richmond Hill, Thomhill and Oak Ridges are considering the question of an amal- gamation, with Mr. R. H.

Mr. Steacy has had charge of Richmond Hill and Oak Ridges Parishes for the past ten months, during which time both churches have done good work, and there has been the most cordial reh lations and the best of feeling be- tween Pastor and congregations.
