"In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essentials, Libert_y; In A_1_1_Things, Charity” Vaughan Council Plans For Walks 0n Yonge Street The members of Vaughan munici-' pal council at the regular monthly’ meeting held at Velxore Monday de- ,cided to confer at once with members of the municipal council of Mark-i ham Township and with official§ of the Ontario Department of High~' ways regarding the construction of sidewalks on Yonge Street. ‘ Reeve R. W. Scott and all mem-' bers of council were unanimous in‘ declaring that the need of sidewalks" on Yonge Street south from Rich- mon-d Hill was most urgent and it is planned to have the walks con-' structed this summer. It was point- ed out that the hazard to those who use the road as pedestrians or mot-‘ orists was very great and that this‘ hazard could be greatly lessened by‘ the construction of a suitable side- walk. Seek Co-operation of Markham and the Province in Construction ‘ of Sidewalk South from Richmond Hill While definite plans have not‘been‘ made pending the conference with Markham Council and the Depart-‘ ment of Highways it is likely that the walks will be of concrete con-‘ struction. Now that. a start has been‘ made it is almost a certainty that the sidewalks program will be pro- ceeded with this year. It is confi- dently expected that the members of Markham council will lend their hearty support to the project and it has been stated that the department of highways is willing to coâ€"operate' and pay fifty per cent of the cost' of construction. ‘ ‘ Citizens of the district interview-' ed this week hailed with genuine joy‘ the announcement that a start on‘ the sidewalks was to ’be made soon.‘ The extreme need of such an under-’ taking has been evident for a long time and when completed a sidewalk on this section of Yonge Street will be a notable improvement which will be greatly appreciated by all who use the highway. The investment in sidewalks will pay dividends in saving lives, said an overjoyed citi- zen of Vaughan in commending the action of council. The regular monthly meeting of Markham township council was held' Monday afternoon with Reeve James‘ Rennie presiding and all the mem-' rbers present. ‘ With the up trend in employment relief expenditure for the month hit" a new low for June amounting to“ only $300 and this was expended more on unemployable than on un-‘ employed. There is a steady demand locally for men on the farm and it‘ is hoped relief rolls will be further‘ lessened during the coming busy seaâ€" son. The appeal for damages to his‘ flock of sheep by dogs received from Mr. James Brodie was considered but no action taken. Mr. Brodie felt he was entitled to flock damage’ but council members pointed out that they had to abide by the township' valuator’s report. Any appeal from‘ the ruling of that official must be" made through the provincial depart- ment of Agriculture. ' Accounbs were passed as follows: road foremen’s account $1565.49; general road accounts $314.45, gen-‘ eral accounts $404.25. ‘ Council ruled that there shguld be‘ no refund of dog tax after July 5th.‘ York County Children’s Aid So-' ciety was granted the privilege of holding a tag day in the munici-‘ pality. ‘ VETERANS PLAN PICNIC The regular meeting of Vaughan and Richmond Hill branch of the York County Veterans was held in the Municipal Hall Tuesday evening last.

II COMMERCIAL FORM III TO IV FORM IV TO V Ample Water Supply Assured" For The Village Dr. John F. Cayley, who recently conducted a survey of the under- ground water supply in this district for the Dominion government ad- dressed the members of Richmond Hill municipal council at the regular monthly meeting held Tuesday even- ing. Dr. Cayley assured members of council that they need have no alarm concerning future water Slllp‘ ply as ample water was obtainable from underground sources. At pre- sent Richmond Hill water supply is taken from the stream which fIOWs through the western section of the municipality. A threatened scarcity in recent dry summers induced the members of council to make enquiry into the possibility of supplementing the present supply. Dr. Cayley as- sured members of council that drilled wells would be reasonably sure to sufficiently supplement the present supply when necessary. A hearty vote of thanks was expressed to Dr. Cayley by members of council for his instructive report and address. Councril decided to proceed as soon as possible with the construction of covered drain on Centre Street east. Councillor Little reported that he had investigated the conditions on this section of roadway and found that the water had been doing consider- able damage to the road and had created a dangerous condition which could be corrected by the laying of tile. He estimated the cost of the work at $170. Council was advised that Mr. A. Skilleter had given the municipality release after accepting $50.00 in full settlement of his claim for damages following an accident when he fell on the ice last winter.

In an effort to have a uniform election day throughout the County the Coun- ty Council at the June session passed a resolution recommending the first Monday in December as election day for the municipalities of the County. Members of Richmond Hill council could see no merit in the suggestion and no action was taken which means election day- remains unchanged. Permission was granted to the York County Children’s Aid Society to hold a tag day here some t'rme in September. A grant of $§.00 was voted to the same organization. The Reeve was authorized to sign the necessary warrant for the hold- ing of a tax sale in the municipality of properties in arrears for taxes. The local club will hold 3. Men’s Doubles tournament Friday evening when a large number of visiting rinks are expected. ' There were eight rinks compet- ing in the weekly mixed tournament at the local greens Monday evening; A considerable number of new bowl- ers have taken up the game and there is a marked increase in interest and enthusiasm in the local club. Skip- Morley B. Hall piloted his rink to ‘two decisive victories to win the first prize Monday night. He de- feated skip Eden in the first round and in the second proved too good for 51(in George Walwin. Skip Hall’s rink piled up a score of 38 in the two games. The prize winning rink was: James D. McLean, Miss Audrey Stephens, George Fuller, Morley Hall skip. If you fool people to get money, that is fraud. If you do it to get votes, that is shrewd politics. BOWLING NOTES
