ONTARIO THURSDAY, AUGUST 13th. 1936 “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essentials, Liberty; In All Things, Charity” MEETING POSTPONED There will be no meeting of the L.O.L. on August 26th owing to the Richmond Hill Street Dance. IPETITION FOR REINSTATEMENT 0F FORMER TEACHER Seventy-five names were on a petition presented to the local Board of Education at a special meeting Wednesday evening asking for the reinstatement of Mr. Don. Frisby as a member of the public school staff to fill the vacancy caus- ed by the resignation of Miss Rich- ardson. The petition pointed out that the examination results of Mr. Frisby were highly satisfactory and that he therefore merited re- appointment. The petition was hastily‘ prepared and the sponsors did not have time to make anyâ€" thing like a thorough canvas but expressed the opinion that several hundred signatures could have been secured had there been sufficient time. The Board engaged Mr. Caldwell of Wallaceburg. i Councillor McLean, chairman of the electric light commission pointed out that Mr. Sterling the electrical engineer used his own car for the town work and received no remun- eration for its use. He suggested that Mr. Sterling be allowed a grant for the overhauling of the car now which is in need of repairs. Coun- cil agreed to bear the expense of repairs up to $40.00. Reeve George Padget and all mem- bers of the Markham township coun- cil were present askfing Richmond Hill to share cost of bridge on the given road running east from the C.N.R. Station. Reeve Greene point- ed out that the bridge was in Markâ€" ham township and was not the re- sponsibility of the village. However the council will consider the request and may make a small grant toward the cost; of construction. The Reeve was authorized by coun- cil to sign warrant for tax sale which will be held this fall. Seven properâ€" ties Will be offered for sale for ar- rears of taxes. The problem of supplementing Richmond Hill water supply occupied the major attention of the munici- pal council at the regular monthly meeting held Monday evening. The present situation was described by Councillor Hill the chairman of the water commission as “umchanged.” The danger of a water shortage is still causing concern and the hose ban remains with the request of the council that the citizens continue to co-operate in conserving the present supply. The water situation has been so serious this summer that the members of council are satisfied that some action must be taken to pro- cure additional supply. Surveys in- dicate that there will be small chance of supplementing the present surface supply and that in future the com- mission must look to subterraneous sources for the required water. The council has been contacted by vari- ous engineers and firms with wide experience in sinking wells for mun- icipal water supply but the members are moving slowly in the matter and making every possible investigation with the view of supplementing the supply at the least possible expendi- ture. A representative of the Do- minion Geology Branch has already visited the district and consulted with the councillors and a further consultation will be held this week. Next week the council will hold a special meeting to consider the wat- er situation. The improvement of Yonge Street lighting is still under consideration. Four new lights of improved design have been erected for some weeks on North Yonge Street by way of ex- periment but other designs are go- ing to be tried before a decision is made. The commission has decided that the centre lighting of the street will be retained as lights on brackâ€" ets on the poles do not work well in sections of the street where there are a great many trees. Dr. James Langstaff acting M.O. H., appeared before the council askâ€" ing that action be taken at once to prevent bathing in the waterworks stream near the intake. The chair- man was authorized to have a wire fence erected and stiff penalty will be imposed on anyone who disreâ€" gard’s the 'regulations- in this 're- gard.
