They declared the plan a sound one. The only complaint of the *esidents in the district is of the carelessness of hunters, who trample gardens and’ lawns and break fences and who have on numerous occasions shot chickens, ducks, geese and small ani- mals. Market gardeners have suffered from the pheasants during the sum- mer months. During the past five years some growers have found it almost impossible to keep seed in the ground before the pheasants have scratched it up for food. Matured crops have likewise suffered, the birds having destroyed corn, berries, flowers and even root crops. Others expressed indignation over the plan that an opcn season be alâ€" lowed on ph-easants.j In many cases the birds have lived entirely- upon food‘ thrown out by householders and' have become regarded as pets.

For his services in this connection he was created C.M.G. Two years later, in 1908, he went to Australia and New Zealand in the interests of the ‘All Red' Route’ project and was successful in negotiating favour- able treaties with those c0untries.

COUL’I'ER, Robert Miller (1857-1926) physician and deputy postmaster- general (1897-1923) was born at Richmond Hill, Ontario, on: 9 Sep- tember 1857. He was the second son and eighth child‘ of John Coul'ter, formerly of County Down, Ireland, by his wife, Agnes Miller, of the same county. Coulter was educat- ed at the Richmond Hill High School and graduated‘ M.B. from the Uni- versity of Toronto in 1882, and MD. from Victoria University in the same year. From then till 1897 he practised medicine in Aurora, Ont. A Liberal in politics, Coulter took a prominent part in the public af- fairs of his locality. He was a mem- ber of the municipal council and‘ of the school board, organized the North York Young Liberal Club and at one time was viceâ€"president of the North York Reform Association. Following the federal Liberal victory of 1896, the prominent part COulter had) played in public affairs and his services to the party were rewarded by the new government. In 1897 he received the app-ointment of deputy postmaster-general under Si'r Will- iam Mulock. This post he held till his retirement in 19123. ‘Canad‘ian “Who Was Who” 1875 to 1937 published by the Trans Cam ada Press, Toronto has the follow- ing reference to one of the dis- tinguished sons of Richmond Hill, Dr. R.

Chairman of Committee THURSDAY, JANUARY 12th, 1939. ter his appointment, penny postage was introduced and pushed through- In 1908 he was responsible for the introduction of rural free delivery and in 1914 helped in a very mater- ial way to bring about the present parcel post system. In 1920 he re- presented Canada at the great Post‘ a1 Conference at Madrid. During the war years Coulter per- formed signal service for Canada. To him fell the arduous task of ar- ranging for the censorshify of mails and 'he served as chairman of the Board of Censors. Due to the nature of the office, 'Coulter’s career of a quarter cenâ€" tury in the service of the govern-- ment was not so much one of spec- tacular achievement, as it was a 1‘6- cord of quiet efficiency and tireless energy. Few government officials were as widely known outside the Dominion as Coulter and the man- ner in which he discharged his duties won him respect and admiration both at home and abroad. Coulter posâ€" sessed a host of friends in every part of Canada and by them was held in the highest esteem and re- gard. He was of a sincere and kind- ln nature and‘ hadt a large fund! of honour which made him a delight- ful companion. In 1879 Coulfcer married Emma (died 29 June 1902) daughter of Hon. J. P. Wells of King Township, a former member of parliament. By her he was the father of two childb ren, Winrnifred, later Mrs. H. Carle- ton Momk of Ottawa, and one child who died at birth. Coulter died! at Ottawa on 14 Feb- ruary 1926 following a lengthy ill- ness. He was buried: in St. George's Anglican Church Cemetery, Aurora. He was survived by his dlaug-hter, one brother and three sisters. Successor to J. J. Deane Director of FUNERAL AND AMBULANCE SERVICE WOODBRJDGE. ONTARIO Wilfrid R. Scott
