McLean of Richmond Hill was signally honored last Satâ€" urday when he was initiated as a member of the Six Nations tribe of Indians at the reserve at Ohsweken near Brantford. With all the colorâ€" ful, impressive and ancient ritualistic ceremony the tribal chieftains‘ c0nâ€" ferred on Mr. McLean the Indian name born-e by his father, the late James McLean who as plowing judge and instructor and in many other ways extended help and assist- ance to the Indians of the reserve. Principals in the ceremony were George Green, Chief Little Bear; Davidl Jacotbs, Chief Black Cloud; Joab Henry, Chief White Cloud‘; and Mrs. Green. All were in Indian cos- twme and in one stage of the cere- mony the newly initiated member had to participate in an Indian dance. Mr. McLean’s Imdian name is Do-nua-ya- d-o-ret-ha in English meaning “judge or overseer”. The signal honor conâ€" ferred upon. our fellow-townsman is a tribute to him and to the memory of his father the late James McLean. Only one such honor is conferred each year by the Six Nations tribe. The new chief received a beautifully hamd carved cane as a token of his membership. At Monday night’s council meet- ing Reeve Greene said he had many complaints from citizens regarding transients calling at the door for food. For the past several months the village has not been» giving the usual 15 cents meal tickets to tram sients who put up for the night in the palatial town jail. The result is that the knights of the road make the rounds of the town asking a hand-out. Councillor Mills said! he did not think the number was near- ly as great as it used to be. He moved, seconded by councillor Nel- son that the matter of giving meals to transients 'be left in the hands of the Reeve.

THURSDAY, Only Three Appeals Mere Legal Bills At Court of Revisien‘ Md y The Town None Are Allowed â€" Assessor Congratulated By Reeve There were only three appeals at the annual Court of Revision session for Richmond Hill held Monday ev- ening with Reeve J. A. Greene preâ€" siding and councillors Mills and Nel- son present. The l'eeve took the small number of appeals as indica- tion of general satisfaction with the assessment and extended congratu- lations to the assessor, Mr. A. E. Glass. “It may be that I’m too easy on them," remarked the assessor. The James Hallett estate appeal- ed as assessment of $450 on two lots on Benson Ave. just west of the British American 011 property. Re- duction was asked on the grounds the council should take into consid- eration the marketability of the land. It had been placed in agent hands for sale but no offers had been re- ceived. As it was assessed at ex- actly the same rate as lots on either side it was moved by councillor Mills seconded by councillor Nelson and carried that the assessment be sus- tained. The Arnold estate, owners of some forty-six acres in the south west. corner of the village appealed a- gainst an assessment of $6500. A parcel of eight acres fronting on Yonge Street and Maple sideroad is assessed at $2800.00 and thirty-eight acres fronting Arnold Street and the same sideroad is assessed for $3,- 700.00. The owners claim the as- sessment is excessive but council deemed otherwise and the assess- ment was sustained. Expert Consultant In Recent Court Case Asks Full Fee of$250 :Miss Alice Wright complained of the assessment; of a lot on Arnold Street. It is asSGssed for $200 and she said she would sell it for $160. On motion the assessment was sus- tained. Mr. G. A. Lister of Toronto who rendered the municipal council of Richmond Hill an account for $250 for services rendered in the court case of John Sheardown vs. the mun- icipality of Richmond Hill has ac- cepted council’s payment of $150.00 without prejudice and asks full pay- ment of the account. In his letter to council which was read Monday night Mr. Lister points out that while the original agreement pro- vided that he was to receive a fee of $150 it was not expected at that time the case would drag on until the fall and that this extension ne- cessitated considerable extra work on his part. He said he was sure if council members appreciated the extent of the work he had done they Would not question that his accOun‘t of $250 was quite reasonable. He asked the opportunity of discussing the matter with the c0uncil. At a recent meeting council refused the account of $250 rendered by Mr. Lister and passed $150 which was the fee agreed upon. Monday night members of council were unchanged in their opinion that Mr. Lister had been fairly dealt with and did not seem disposed to increase the pay- ment. He will be advised the date of future council meetings and if he cares to interview the members they are quite agreeable but indicated that they were not likely to change their stand. Council Has Paid $150.00 But Mr. Lister Asks For Full $250.00 HOCKEY EUCHRE 'Dhe annual euchre in aid of the hockey club will be held in the 01'- ange Hall, Wednesday evening, Noâ€" vember 8th at 8 p.m. Good prizes, refreshments.

ORANGE EUCHRE Local L.O.L. and- L.OB.A. will sponsor a euchre Wednesday, No- vember 29th to raise funds to pro- vide comforts for men on active service. The euchre will be in Rich- mond Hill Orange Hall. Costs of J. Sheardown Plaintiff In Resent CCurt Action Amounting Another forceful reminder that court cases cost real money bounc- ed into Richmond Hill council ses- sion Monday night in the presenta- tion of the bill of costs of Mr. J. Sheardcwn, plaintiff in the recent act-ion against the municipality of Richmond Hill. The account passed for payment amounted to $1,040.30, which brings the costs paid by the town so far up to nearly $9500. The ‘Sheardown bill of costs as first sub- mitted amounted to $2123.48 but this was reduced by the taxing off- icer to $1,040.30 which amount was passed for payment Monday night. On motion of councillor H. J. Mills and C. Nelson the council instructed village solicitor B. B. Jordan to take what action he deemed advisable in bringing on the other court action in which the municipality is engaged concerning the car wrecking by-law. It was pointed out that the appeal of Mr. Parisi against the judgment upholding the legality of the town by-law which prohibits the wrecking of used cars and selling of the used parts anywhere in the municipality had been pending for some time. Mr. Jordan intimated that if he had the authority of c0uncil he would move that the appeal be heard at once. The motion by councillors Mills and' Nelson gave the solicitor authority to take this action. Only Reeve Greene and Councillors Mills and Nelson attended the meet- ing. Councillor Hill was- cut of town and unable to attend. MUNICIPAL POT STARTS T0 SIMMER The prospect of a long term for the council elected next January has stimulated interest in local municiâ€" pal affairs and while nOmination day is still almost two months away there are indications that Richmond Hill will have a lively election con- test this year. Reeve Greene is fin- ishing his seventh tenm as reeve and it is very likely that he will seek re-election. Councillor Alex Little has retired which leaves one vacancy even if all present members stand for re-election. A long list of names have been mentioned including- form- er members of c0uncil and some new men who their sponsors claim would add strength to a war-time council. The court case with J. Sheardown which cost the municipality a lot of money is the subject of much com- ment among ratepayers and the by- law passed by the 1939 council pro- lhibiting‘ the wrecking of cans and the selling of used auto parts looms 'on the horizon as an issue which will be to the fore between now and 'voting day. It is hinted that with the prospect of a 10ng term men who ‘never previously interested them- selves in municipal polirtics will re- 'spond to the appeal of the Minister of Municipal Affairs for “men and Women of highest calibre". The regular meeting of the Rich- mond Hill Women’s Institute will] be held in the Municipal Hall Thurs- day afternoon, November 9th at " p.m. Instead of the planned visit to the Bell Telephone office in To- ronto which had to be postponed owing to the war, Mrs. I. D. Ramer has kindly consented to give a talk on the progress of the telephone. RICHMOND HILL \VOMEN’S INSTITUTE To $1040 Paid By Village In All Things. Charity” NOVEMBER 2nd, 1939.

Hallowe’en passed quietly in Rich- mond Hill, and by quietly we mean quiet for here, that is there were no arrests. Hundreds of children made the rounds of the town in the early evening with the familiar or- der “shell out" and judging by the bags some of the young highway- men carried they met. with a gen- erous response. Most citizens spent the evening answering the door bell and one lady with a yen for sta- tistics told The Liberal she was call- ed to the front door exactly seventy- seven times. In the later hours some of the larger children carried out the usual routine of pranks. That particular type of out-building which seems to have a peculiar lure for Hallowe’en pranksters as usual was the target of attack and a num- ber were wrong-side up Wednesday morning. A few fences were torn down, steps taken but so far no ser- ious damage reported. In all it was an uneventful Hallowe’en. JAMES D.
