fl E63532? TEA Since the price of the two rooms was first quoted it has been found that due to material and labour gains the construction costs have risen ap- proximately 25% which means the $12,000.00 approved by the Municâ€" ipal Council and raised by means of Last Mnnday morning saw the preliminary. work started on the two room addition to S. S. 24, Richvale. The‘ contractor has assured the school board the completed structure will be ready for occupancy in five weeks which will mean greater free- \dom of teaching for the teachers in the fall term. While the additional two rooms are being erected as temporary fac- ilities; it has been learned that at several places this type of construc- tion is considered permanent. It has an advantage over the more con- ventional type of permanent schools in that the completed overall cost is so very much less and if it should be replaced it can be dismantled and would command a very fair price if sold. Richvale Two Room School Addition Will Cost $15,000 In Toronto it is now proposed to expend some thirty/ million dollars to construct five miles of subway. The purpose of this subway is to separate the public passenger car- rying street car from the privately owned automobile. More space for Yonge street traffic is required and the solution recommended by the experts is to separate these two‘ forms of traffic. In the case of the North Yonge Radial these two forms of traffic are now separate save at intersections. The radials travel on their own right of way. They do not compete with automobiles for. highway space, nor are they affect- ed bythe congestion of motor traf- fic that is found ‘on North Yonge‘ Street at holiday and summer week ends. Yet it is now suggested that this private right of way be aban- doned and that the radials be dis- carded in favor of a form of public transportation that will compete with the privately owned motor ve- hicle and that will occupy pavement space already at a premium at cer- tain periods. I notice from the report of the Commission that a fair proportion of the equipment of this radial line has an estimated life of usefulness remaining of about five years and In his letter Mr. Kemp says: “Since its inception I have been a patron of the radials. I was also a patron of the short-lived bus ser- vice that served the area between the abandonment of the former met- ropolitan Radials and the commence- ment of the present system. From that experience I formed a prefer- ence for travelling on the radial as against travelling on buses. With this background there are a few ob- servations’l should like to make. Fred W. Kemp, a member of the legal profession and for many years a member of North York Township municipal council in a letter to the Lansing Enterprise last week gives some good advice to the people of the North Yonge Street district on the current transportation contro- versy.

KEMP ARGUES AGAINST HASTE IN DECIDING BEST MODE OF TRANSPORTATION Delicious Cool Drink THE HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 A meeting of the ratepayers will be held in S. S: 24, Richvale, on Mon- day~ evening, July 1‘9th, at 8 p.m., when the school board will explain the situation fully to the ratepayâ€" ers and request their permission to petition the Vaughan Council for *the additional monies. The ratepayers in the Richvale area should give a hearty note of thanks to their school board for the care and time they have expended with the object of bringing higher educational standards to the pupils at a minimum of expense. ‘ Mr.‘Jackson Taylor, chairman of theboard of school trustees has in- himated that this increase will make very little if any change in the tax question as future eventualities had not been overlooked when the new additions and their completed cost was first discussed with reference to the tax rate. debenture by the Vaughan Tovénship Council will have to be supplement- ed .by the sum of $3,000.00 or an in- crease of $1500.00 per room. ‘ Recently the. Toronto . and York Planning Board retained Mr. Nor- man D. WilsOn to study and report upon the transportation situation in the. Metropolitan area. Arising out of this report and studies given‘ to the problems of the larger area by the Toronto Transportation Com- mission, there‘ may be recommenda- tions made affecting the transit sys- tems of all municipalities in greatâ€" er Toronto., I suggest that with plans of this magnitude in the mak- ing it might be well for the four owners of this radial to mark time for a few years.” ’V I notice too that the new bus route is to follow Yonge Boulevard instead of travelling Yonge Street through the hollow. I understand that the Provincial Highway De- partment has plans for a new east and west distributor highway that will use Hogg’s H‘ollow Bridge. I believe this is to be a limited access highway with clover leafs at main intersections. I understand there is to be a clover leaf at Yonge Street but I do not know what provision there will be for access to this new highway from Yonge Boulevard. Perha‘ps within a five year period this highway will have become an actuality and the possibility of the proposed route as a permanent one will be. known. In the first place the new Barrie highway should then be completed, and the motor traffic on Yonge St. would be appreciably reduced. Ad- ded to the reduced Yonge Street motor traffic 3. heavy bus service would not ‘be so likely to encounter highwlay traffic difficulty as if it were instituted before the comple- tion of the new Barrie Highway. that signals and telephones are the two items in need of some immed- iate attention. I have the impress- ion that the estimated cost of re- habilitation as shown in the com- missio‘n’s report was made in con- templation of a fifteen year exten- sion of service. I should like to sug- gest that consideration be given to a five-year extension.

MORE THAN 125 FARMERSisTUDY SMUT CONTROL ADVERTISING IN CETS RESULTS THE LIBERAL The “Lake” is a 20-foot steel drum, eight feet in diameter and by a special arrangement of pipes can be layered off in respect to .water temperature, pressure and other conditions. It is the only lake of its kind in North America and acâ€" cording to Dr. F. E. J. Fry, assist- ant professor of zoology at the Un- iversity of Toronto and closely as- sociated with fisheries research, a season’s entire cycle of fish conditions can be reproduced. Experts are able to look through windows of 'the tank and observe speckled trout, bass, muskefllunge, lake trout, pike and other fish and the underlying purpose of the ob- servations is to “improve and in- crease game and commercial fish in Ontario”. The project is being un- dertaken jointly by the Lands and Forests Department and the fisher- ies research laboratory of the'U, of T. The lake was designed by DrfFry and is refrigerated on ton. Asheet of ice can be formed in a short time. It is illuminated and the action of the fish is watched through port- holes built to withstand a lake pres- sure of ‘120 feet. Egyptian Imperial Amber were_well illustrated. Completing 'the plot tour the specialists were loud in their praise of the Cornell variety. Prob- lems were later cleared when Dr. A. G. O. W'hiteside of the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, discussed the wheat situation. President Murray Macki- ‘in of the Crop Improvement Assoc- iation introduced guests including A. H. Martin, newly appointed Director of the Crops, Seeds and‘W‘eeds Branch and W. Brecken, Pm'sidetit'Of the Ontario CrOp Improvement As- sociation. The evening concluded in a reminder by Secretary 7 Cockburn for all members of the 50 Bushel Wheat Club to give ample warning to his ofiice so that'yield cuttings for the competitions ~\irould be completed,at the most opportune time. ~ . Lots of Fish But No Fishing Pity the poor fish! He just hasn’t any privacy any more. That is the conclusion reached lby experts'of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests who are watching, recording and classifying the reactionofv var- ious species of fish undexf controiied conditigns near here.‘ The sigdiés take place ' in one‘ 101?, the’ wo‘rl‘d’s strangest artificial lakesat the ex; perimental station of the depsrf- ment in Honeypot, Concessiom 3, Vaughan, near RichmondHiIl, ‘ The lucky draw and Winner of the 2 bushels of Cornell seed Was Clarke Johnson of R. R. 2, 'Gormley. The scientists are trying to deiv termine what temperatures certain species of fish like best; what reac- tion there is to certain controlled pressures and the presence of oxy- gen in varying amounts. Answers to their questions will play an im- portant part in restocking pro- grammes. Also receiving intensive study is the lamprey eel, long known as an enemy of Whitefish and trout. Reac; tion of the predator fish to ‘temper- aures is expected to give the scien- tists information as to the best time at which to attack the lamprey. Congratulations to Richmond Hill Lions Club on winning first place among all Lions Club in attendance this year. The Richmond Hill Club led all Canada with an attendance record for the year just closed. of 99.8 per cent. This is a fine record for the local club and congratula- tions are due all the members and especially Mel Maltby, chairman of the attendance committee. WORLD’S STRAN‘GEST ARTIFICIAL LAKE.
