It was pointed out that these wooden culverts, processed with creosote have many advantages over the metal pipe which has been in common use for many years. In addition it is understood the price is somewhat lower. It was pointed out this type of culvert has given splendid satisfaction wherever it has been used, and its durability and price saving have made it more and more popular in Ontario. Markham council members appeared very much impressed with the merits of the product and will probably give one a trial in the township at ihe first opportunity. l Ex-reeve W. C. Gohn appeared at the regular monthly meeting of the Markham Township council last Mon- day on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Good of North York township and several others who signed a petition asking the township council to stop the pro- posed erection of a grist mill at Ger- man Mills on the Markhamâ€"North York Townline. Mr. Gohn on behalf of the petitioners pointed out that many fine homes had been erected in the district which had developed into a very desirable residential dis trict, and that the operation of a mill at this point would be very ob- jectionable to, those who had made their homes in the locality. Members of council were sympathetic with the request and will c0nfer with the building inspector to see what ac- tion can be taken. T’ell Merits of New Culverts Mr. Ross Black of King township and Mr. Bond of Toronto represent- ing the Canada Creosoti‘ng Company explained to council members the merits of the new creosoted' culverts which are proving so popular throughout Canada and which have I won widespread recognition by road experts and‘ engineers» in all parts Ivan B.

All conveners of commit- tees are asked to bring their re- ports. The local club officially closed its season the evening of April 5. Bert Pattenden’s team won the, volleyball cup by eliminating Ted Bennett’s team which had- held the cup for several years. Competition between the three teams captained by Patten- den, Bennett and Manley was very keen. When play was completed the players gathered for a light ban-- quet after which plans for next year were discussed. The executive hopes to see all old members back and will welcome new faces next year to share in the fun and sport. A tourna- ment for next fall was proposed in which the winning team would re- ceive a theatre party. "In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essentials, Libierty; In All Things, Charity” Another enjoyable season of volâ€" leyball was brought to a close in 'the Pickering College gymnasium on Saturday last. Eight teams repre- lsenting Orillia Y, St. Clair Y, Camp Borden, Pickering College and Rich- mond Hill took part. Both Richmond Hill teams showed an improvement in 'play over last year and gave a fine account of themselves. Orillia A team however won the chief hone ‘ours by winning- the tournament championship. After being elimin- ated by Orillia, both Richmond Hill teams went on to play in the con- solation tournament. Duplicating last year’s performance Richmond Hill A team won the consolation play‘ and brought back. a new volleyball as the prize. It is hoped and exâ€" pected that this tournament will be- come a yearly feature. The Rich- mond Hill teams were composed as follows: A Teamâ€"Jim Butler, Ted Bennett, Joe Morris, Bill Pollard, Bob Horwood, A. Teal (captain). B. Team â€"Bill Charles, Jim Ley, Ron Lunau, Mr. Tracy, Bert Wolfrey, Bert Cook (captain). The Richmond Hill Lions Club was granted permission to hold the an- nual Street Dance in Richmond Hill this year. Among the projects now under way 'by the organization is a survey of the need for eye glasses and tonsil operations among needy children of the district and this and other projects of the service club was deemed by council as a most worthy object of public support. The big event will likely be held as usual the third Wednesday in August. Members of council discussed the cleaning up of streets and boulevards so that the town might present a more tidy and inviting appearance. The works department will under- take some clean-up work and the co- operation of householders is asked in cleaning up sidewalks and boule- vards. It was decided to give the equip- ment in the two public play-grounds a coat of paint. It was pointed out that this would not only brighten the appearance but would help pre- serve the equipment. Messrs. H. Stanford and W. Scriv- en-er appeared on behalf of St. Mary’s Anglican Church and asked that conâ€" crete steps be constructed from the roadway at the church entrance. It was pointed out the present wood steps built when Yonge Street was paved are in a poor and dangerous condition. Members of council in- spected the steps following the coun- cil session and it was agreed to pro- ceed with the work of erecting new steps. lRichmond Hill streets will be treat- ed to..their annual application of oil in the very near future. This was the decision of the municipal coun- cil at the regular meeting Monday night when the contract for the road oil was awarded to the Jupp Con- struction Co. The price is to be eleâ€" ven and a quarter cents per gallon! and something over 7000 gallons will be used. The same Quality of oil as used last year has been secured again and just as soon as gravelling‘ now in progress on Benson Avenue is completed the work will 'be pro- ceeded with. This is somewhat ear- lier than in previous years but it was pointed out the season is quite‘ early and already there have been complaints of the dust nuisance.

LATE WALTER JOHN DUNCAN The death occurred recently of Wal- ter John Duncan, of Wawota, west- ern Canada, father of Mrs. Aggie Mortson of Lanlgstaff and Mrs. Jenâ€" nie Wilson of Wawota. He was born in ‘Scotland in 1867 and for many years had lived in the west, having been a former reeve of the munici- pality of Walpole and later overseer of the village of Wawota. His wife predeceased him about a year ago. INDUCEMENT TO BUILDERS At a special meeting of the Munâ€" icipal Council of Richmond Hill held this morning plans were discussed for the encouraging of building in Richmond Hill. There has been a marked demand for houses here this spring and the council are anxious to encourage the building of new homes here. A resolution was passed this morning extending- an exemption from assessment for the first year a new house is built. W. B. B. Little and W. J. Wylie of Toronto presented the written con- sent of a number of Vaughan town- ship farm owners to let them hun't groundhogs on their farms with a .22 rifle. As the land owners had‘ con- sented council saw no objection to giving- the necessary permission. While hospitalization costs through- out the county have been mounting at an. alarming rate, Vaughan costs for 1938 so far have ‘been some $315 less than in the same period last year. This year the municipality has estimated the year’s road expenditure at $25,000.00, but the province which pays one half of the amount has asked the council to limit expendi- ture this season to 820,000.00. Coun~ cil members have been considering the purchase of a new road grader, but if the province insists on the $20,000 figure the purchase may be postponed for another year. Notification was received that the provincial government would pay the usual fifty per cent subsidy on an. expenditure of $16,234.45 ‘by the Township in 1937. ~Relief rolls of the township of Vaughan were carefully scrutinized at the regular‘council meeting last IMonday by members of council and the Relief Officer. Indications are that with the return of some season'- able employment many who have been receiving township assistance are becoming self-sustaining and the 'number on relief was considerably lower than a month ago, and the cost for March this year was $1,- 722.70, about $200 less than in the corresponding month a year ago. While many are finding- work Mon- day’s survey showed some able bodied men are still on the rolls and the lrelief officer was instructed to issue stern warning that they should find :work. All those formerly on the re- ‘lief rolls of the municipality Will re- ceive notification from the township that their earnings during the com- ing summer must be carefully con- served, and their admission to relief rolls next winter will be determined by their earnings in the summer. Notification from the provincial wel- fare department that all relief grants for the township have been budgeted for has made it imperative that the municipality give the closest scrut- iny to the relief rolls. Next winter only those who are so unfortunate as not to have been able to find gainful employment sufficient to pro- vide for the next period of unem- ployment should it come, will be givâ€" en municipal relief. As one c0un- cillor remarked, “The taxpayers keep people on relief all winter and as soon as they start earning money, out comes the old car and they spend their money with no thought of pre- paring“ for themext winter}: , This is the kind of practice Vaughan coun- cil aims to stop, and a most careful check will be made during the com- ing summer and next fall when re- lief applications come in again.
