Following the A.A.A. meeting the annual meeting of the Richmond Hilll Lacrosse Club will be held for the‘ election of officers and the transac- tion of general business.

The annual meeting of the Tri- County league is called for Barrie next Monday afternoon and if senior or good inttermediate competition de- velops in this league in Aurora, Brad ford, Newmarket, Alliston and Camp Borden as is anticipated the Young Canadians may again be in' the Tri- County contest.

LAWN BOWLERS ATTENTION A meeting of the Richmond Hill Lawn Bowling Club will be held in the Municipal Hall on Tuesday eve- ning, April 17th, at 8 o’clock sharp. Election of officers and general busi- ness. If the sport of Lawn bowling is to continue in Richmond Hill it will be necessary that a good repre- sentation of bowlers attend this meet- mg. : A.A.A. meeting the of the Richmond Hill will be held for the rers and the transac- inter- il All Ready To Move and No Place To Go We pride ourselves in the fact; that advertising in The Liberal brings ‘ results, and so, to help the local town fathers out of their present dilemma regarding the town jail we are insert- ing the above advertisement free of charge. If you would like the stately edifice at your front door, or your back door, or on the lot beside you, you will bring joy to the hearts of ;the reeve and councillors because you ‘are just the party they are looking for. In fact the situation is now so serious that they might even give a reward or pass special legislation a reward or pass sp‘ providing for a bonus For many years there has been an agitation for the removal of the “coop” which now stands in a very commanding position at the entrance to the town park and it is claimed that it‘s architectural lines are no adornment for the municipal beauty‘ jSpot. Those who live in the neigh- 'borhood not only object to the lack iof architectural beauty in the muni- cipal jail but also object to the con- tinued presence in their midst of the transient guests who find refuge Inightly within its walls. After many years of agitation the Town Fathers at their last regular meeting decided to spend one hun- dired dollars and have the “coop” moved. They decided to move it some distance back into the park against the south fence. Immediately there ‘came a storm of protest as residents on the north side of Roseview Ave- claimed that if Church Street resi- ' dents did not want the building at their front door, they certainly did not want it at the back door. And so the battle rages. The council is- ready to move the building which has been a municipal eye-sore for. years but the question is where to put it . Right now if the stately old coop could suddenly become articu- late it’s theme song would surely be ‘ “Nobody Loves Me.” ' The members of council, however, are not lacking in suggestions. The “trouble is that everyone suggests it _‘,be placed as far away from their . particular place of abode as possible. ’ The folks in the south end of the town quite seriously declare that it should be in the north end and the people in the north end suggest that it’s present location is probably quite alright. It has been suggested that the council chamber, the clerk’s of- fice, the library are now all centred in the municipal building and that the jail should also be placed there to make the centralization of muni- cipal institutions complete. However, there are objections to this proposal r F.va “W'UEL‘nv-smn WANTED A New Site For Richmond Hill Lack-up. Apply Village Council as the “coop” and the public school class would then be housed in the same building or at least on the same lot. And so suggestion after suge gestion is turned down and about the best one so far seems to be that the present building be blown up and not replaced. If some solution is not soon forthcoming members of the village council are apt in sheer desper ‘ation to act on this suggestion, so if [the “coop” is to be saved our readers must act quickly. That is the reason we have given the above free adver- tisement and it would appear that now is the time for all loyal citizens to come to the aid of the council. LACROSSE MEETING The annual meeting of the Rich- mrond Hill Lacrosse Club will be held in the council chamber to-morrow (Friday) evening. ADOPT DAYLIGHT SAVING The council of Richmond Hill Vil- lage at their last session decided to adopt Daylight Saving time for the year on dates to conrform with the city of Toronto.
