Well, there is only one thing of Which we are certain these days re- garding the weather and that is “We’ll have weather, whether or not” but. as to what kind is a sealed book until it really happens.

Liberty; In All Things, Charity” THE WRECKING BY-LAW STANDS SAYS COUNCIL Reeve J. A. Greene called a spe- cial meeting of the Richmond Hill Municipal council Tuesday morning at 9.15 a.m. to ask the council if they would consider reseindiing‘ the by..law prohibiting the operation of a car wrecking business here. He suggest- ed that the council might consiéer a by-law to license wrecking places which would give council the right to supervise and inspect. Council members made short shift 0f the suggestion and remained firm in their stand to let the ‘byJaw remain as it is. In turn councillors Little, Hill and Nelson turned down the suggestion of the Reeve that the matter be reconsidered in the light of present circumstances. “A large body of public opinion seems to think an effort is being made to squeeze this man out of business,” said the Reeve. “Not the majority of public opin- ion,” said Councillor Little. Referring to reports which had appeared in the Daily Star following last meeting Councillor Hill said it was “rotten busineSS". The report stated the same interests had op- posed the greenhouses. These two men (councillors Little and Nelson) weren’t living here then and I was- n’t on council. I’ve always favored anything for the betterment of Rich- mond‘ Hill and: so did my father be- fore me,” he said. “Imagine sayâ€" ing I didn't want more business here." Town solicitor Jordan present at the request of the Reeve in answer to a question stated that the busiâ€" ness could 'be licensed and if condi- tions were not sati'sfactflry the li. cense could be cancelled 'by giving a specified notice. Councillors Little and Hill strong- ly opposed any move to reconsider the matter. “Why did we pass the by-Law in the first place," said coun_ cillvor Little. “We all agreed to pass' the by-law saying We’d have not wrecking places. You were the one who first. «brought it up, and now you want to change it,” said cOuna cillor Hill. Councillor Nelsonâ€"He (referring1 to "Mr. Parisi) didn’t make enough enquiry whefi he came here to see if he would be allowed to Operate. I’m in favor of letting the layâ€"law stand. If we license one we’d have to license them all. We couldn’t dis- criminate. Councillors Little and Hill both disclafmed any personal feeling in the matter. “It wouldn’t make a; dollar’s difference to the business of either Mr. Hill or myself,” said coun- cillor Little. When it was evident councu was determined to make no change Reeve Greene intimated to the town solici- tor that he might retire as his ser- vié'es would not be required, and mem‘bers then proceeded with a dis- cussion of buying medals, decorrtingv the town, and other problems reha- tive to the visit' of Their Majesties the King and Queen to Toronto next month. MR. R. D. LITTLE CHAIRMAN PAROCHIAL COUNCIL At the first meeting- of St. Mary’s Parochial Council held on Monday evening, Mr. R, D. Little was elect- ed chairman and Mr. R. Paris sec- retary.
