Unity; Caught Stealing. Chickens Is Now Awaiting Trial Only five of the thirty-six Yonge Street merchants invited, attended a meeting with the Richmond Hill council Monday evening to discuss the extension of colored lighting in “the business section. For some time the council has been subjected to criticism that decorative colored lights were confined to a single block and merchants in other sec- tions sensed discrimination. In order to clear the air council called a meeting of all Yonge Street busi« ness men to consider the proposal of extending the decorative lights the entire length of the business section, the cost of such extension or a sulbstantial portion thereof to -be paid‘ by the merchants. E-Srti- mates presented at the meeting showed that to extend colored light; ing to include both sides of Yonge Street from Cities Service Garage to Kerr’s bakery would cost about $700. Those .present displayed! little enthusiasm for the proposal and there is little likelihood of its beâ€" img carried out. Whether or not the existing lights will be ‘eft in the present block remains to be deâ€" cid’ed by council. A general discussion of street lighting in the village heard much in criticism of the existing lights Which: were termedl dim and‘ inade- quate. This applied particularly to Yonge Street 'but it was pointed out the lighting on the side streets could be materially improved. RICHMOND HILL, Colored Lights Extension Fails To Interest Many A long trail of chicken stealing and petty thieving which has been baffling police in Vaughan and King townshin for some months came to an end‘ last Monday night in the arrest of Phillip Phillip-s a Vaughan resident. Phillips was arrested' by Constable George DeFerrari after he was caught by Jack Boynton and Bernie DeFerrari while raiding the chicken pen of Frank Putevbaugh, 3rd] concession of Vaughan. Others thought to have been associatedI with Phillips in the chicken coop raid-s escaped bu-t police are hope- ful' of picking- up at least one party in the very near future. Phillips appeared in police court Tuesday and was remanded for one week. Another Euschre in the Orange Lodge series was held on Wednes- day evening with twelve tables in play and prize Winners were: Lati- ies, Mrs. N. Cook, Miss D. Hart, Mrs. Underhill; Gents, Jas. Rumble, Gordon Anthony, Mr. Hicks. Phillips when caught put up the excuse he was hunting rabbit‘s deâ€" spite the fact that it was about nine o’clock in the evening. Later how- ever he led police constable De- Ferrari to the hidden chickens and! it is und‘enstood‘ has confessed to several other robberies throughout the district. Vaughan Township and County Police have been busy since the arrest tracing- down other jobs which have been .bafifling them for some months.
