Beauty Contest \Vinner To Be Here \‘Vednesday, August 9â€"Markham Band To Give Concert on Street Starting at 7 pm. “Miss Toronto” of 1939, the Queen City beauty contest winner has been invited to attend the annual Lions Club carnival and street dance at Richmond Hill Wednesday, August 9. More charming even than her photos Miss Toronto, (Mrs. J. G. Morris) expressed her interest in the work of the Lions Club and intimated that she would 'be pleased to attend and; glad of the opportunity of helping along such a good cause in any way within her power. While plans are not yet complete it is likely there will be a presentation to the beauty Queen by the Lions Club and the municipality. Mrs. Morris plans to attend the whole evening’s enter- tainment and help in the games and climax the program by drawing the tickets for the lucky number prizes. “Miss Toronto’s" patronage of the Lions Club carnival adds much in- terest to the event which is alreaClsr attracting widespread attention and which this year promises to shatter all previous attendance records. Another new feature of the carn- ival announced this week by Lion Lloyd A. Hill, chairman of the com- mittee in charge is that the Mark- ham brass band1 of thirty pieces will give a band concert on the street commencing at 7 o’clock. The band will play until the dancing starts at 9 p.m. to music su'pplied by Russ Creighton and» his famous orchestra. The midway which will be oper- ated- by Lions club members has many new games and‘ attractions with beautiful prizes for those Whose lucky star shines that night. Two hundred dollars will be given awasy to holders of lucky number adâ€" mission tickets which are now being sold by members and friends of the Lions club. All the maney raised is used enâ€" tirely for community service work and: as the club makes few appeals to the pulblic we hope that this big event will receive the generous sup- port which it deserves. Everyone can help in the fine work the Lions Club is carrying on by buying tickets and‘ by Boosting the carnival and selling tickets to their friends. Books of tickets may be secured from Lion R.

Liberty; In All Things, Charity’ For some time council members» have been discussing a sewer system as an improvement needed in Rich- mondl Hill and an expenditure which will have to be faced sometime in‘ the future. Reeve Greene has ovei‘ a long period urged members to keep the sewer project in mind in making} other changes to the streets and to‘ make long distance plans for the im- provement. The matter was brought: to a head recently by the announced policy of the Dominion governmenfl to give aid to municipalities for pub- lic works as an aid to employment. The Reeve has been in touch with ‘the Dominion authorities and has as“ surance that the Federal g0vernment! will pay fifty per cent of the labor. costs if the work is done for unemd ployment relief and on condition the. province will subscribe a similar a- mount. Before the government aid can be secured Reeve Greene exâ€" ‘plained to the members of council at a special meeting held last Thurs- dlay evening it is necessary that definite figures be submitted show- ing the extent and estimated c05t. To secure this information it is ne- cessary to employ a qualified engi- neer and the cost of such an esti- lmate would be $350. COUNCIL DEBATES EXPENDITURE FOR SEWER SYSTEM ESTIMATES Richmond Hill council members in special. session last Thursday laid over until a future meeting defin- ite decision concerning the proposal to have an engineer’s report on the extent and cost of a sewage system for the town. Reeve J. A. Greene urged that the council go ahead and have the survey made but he was strenuously oppOSed by Councillor Alex Little and mildly opposed by‘ «councillor Nelson. Councillor Hill favored the survey but thought there should be a full attendance of counâ€" ‘cil members to decide the matterm Reeve Urges That Survey Be Made So Town Might Participate ' In Government Works Plan â€" Councillor Little Opposes Proposal RICHMfi) HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 20th, 1939. The Reeve urged that the survey be made. If we have those figures We can approach the whole question of sewers intelligently, he said, and we can make application for the government aid. If we have the plans of the sewage system, the esti- mated cost, and the definite assur- ance of the extent of government assistance in aid‘ of employment we then can submit the question to the ratepayers who will decide by a vote whether or not we sh0u1d’ go ahead. Councillor Alex Little said he did!- n‘t feel there was any hurry for sewers in Richmond Hill. Reeve Greene pointed out that the present government policy of assist- ing in the carrying on of public works presented an opportunity not only to get the needed improvement but it would solve the local unemâ€" ployment problem for some time. He said septic tanks throughout the municipality were giving a lot of trouble, were costly to the house- holders and moreover he felt there would be an incentive to 'builders if the town had sewers. Councillor Littleâ€"It will raise your taxes, and I think 10w taxes are just as much an incentive to bullding as sewers. Reeve Greene pointed out that it need not necessarily create too heavy a tax burden. There will be a two and a half mill saving on debentures next year he said and in 1942 there will be 8 mills knocked off our de- benture rates. There pOSSibly would be a 2 and a half mill increase umtil 1942. He pointed out that even if the project is not gone ahead with now the survey to be made by an engineer would! always be useful. It could be used whenever we did go ahead and in the meantime it would be a guide in our other civic work. Councillor Nelsonâ€"There‘s no doubt it would raise the taxes. Councillor Little said he was not much in favor of government grants for municipal works. “It’s just tak- ing money out of one pocket and putting it in the other,” he said. “But when other municipalities are taking advantage of the plan we might as well share in it as'help pay it for other towns and cities," said the Reeve. “I’m not much in favor of it. These opportunities will come again,” said opportunities opinion time to labor. Reeve Greene pointed out'that if it did there would be no unemploy- ment worries and the council would not always :be in hot water trying to find work for the men. “And don't forge ," he said, “if all our men are working on some such project as this it is reflected in the prosperity of our town.” Councillor Nelson agreed with the Reeve that even if the project was not undertaken now the survey would always be useful. “‘We must think about the water supply though," he said. “There might be a possibility our supply would' not be sufficient if we had sewers.” Councillor P. G. Hill who arrived late at the meeting said‘ that, if we ever are going to have sewers we have to make a start “and“ We cerâ€" tainly need them,” he said. “I’d: rather see the taxes lowered," said councillor Little. Councillor Hill suggested that he thought such an important item should be dealt withwhen all mem’ bers of council are present. Counâ€" cillor ,Mills was a'bsent from the meeting being out of town at his summer home. On motion of councillors Little and Nelson the matter was laid over until a future meeting. Radials Show a Profit in June Passenger Revenue Up and Profit for Month Increased by $448.00 Passenger revenue in June on the North Yonge Radials took a decided upward. leap to put a shock into those who in recent months have been predicting the end‘ of the car line. For June the line showed an operating profit of $702.31 compar- ed with a profit of $254.46 for the same month last year. A gratifying feature of the monthly report receiv- ed! today by Reeve J. A. Greene is that passenger revenue for the month was $6,088.17, an increase of almost $300 over June 1938. Operating ex- penses for the month were approxi- mately $125 less than in the corre- sponding month a year ago. Walker Hall and A. E.
