It takes time, but if the busses are to 'be ‘a success, improvements mustbe made in the present system. ‘Hel'e’s for quicker_ less crowded transporta- tion from the City to Richmond Hill â€" all the time. However, we won’t be satisfied un- til the scheduling is revised as often as necessary to eliminate crowding on all runs. The other night we no- ticed a Finch’s bus pass Lansing with about eight standees, the Lang'- stafi‘ bus, a few minutes behind was really crowded and the Hill bus, a few minutes behind tliat, had about six standees.

A parking- lot is a necessity and because there will be a number of people who will object‘ to paying parking- fees, perhaps the council should do something with the park. Unless and until Yonge St. is‘widen- ed, parking is going 'to be a nuis- ance as well as a menace, particulâ€" arly at intersections. Something should be done before the summer traffic problem is with us again. Particular attention should be paid to the bus stops. No Parking signs should be erected at intervals near the stops covering sufficient area to permit the 'busses to pull into the curb without interfering with traf- fic as so often is now the 'case. a lot and charge a small fee either independently or by letting council supervise and the proceeds be divid- ed between owner and council. Although that possibility is now removed, nevertheless, we would like to clarify our suggestion. We did not suggest nor did we intend others to infer, that the lot would be used by the public free of charge. There could have been two methods, which might’ apply to other available areas now privately owned â€" the village could pay a nominal rent for use of the lot and be responsible for its upkeep, etc., ambwould permit free parking â€"- or the owners could open wrong impression he used as a parki that since it is p: would not in any for public parking the parking problem on the main street particularly in the business section. We mentioned the park, vacant lots on Arnold St., and also the lot behind the United Church as possibilities. Naturally, the latter is definitely out of the picture since the new United Church parsonage will be erected there this year, if all goes well. Some of the officials of the church felt that we were giving the wrong impression by suggesting it be used as a parking lot. They felt that since it is private property it would not in any case be available Even with tree trimming, however, the sidestreet lighting will not be up to the standards of obr main street but considering the cost of new fix- tures today it's believed that the trimming will help to carry on until such time as it’s economically feasâ€" ible to replace the old fixturesâ€"even graduallyâ€"over g1 period of time. Sidestreets are going to get some attention too. Although the present fixtures will remain as is for the time being, a comprehensive program of tree trimming is planned which will mean the best possible results from the present system. When the new lights are installed on both sides of the street, they will be staggered so that good over-all lighting will make our main street one of the bestâ€"illuminated in these parts. and this will be done as time, materâ€" ial and money permit. Apparently these units are in the hands of the local hydro folk. Another factor which will effect the installation of these lights on Yonge St., other than in the main business section, is the heavy overâ€" hang- of trees particularly on north Yonge St. Much trimming and perâ€" haps removal of some trees will be necessary to permit installation of the new fixtures and to get maxi- mum illumination. they’re t1 efficiency T00 out 11 week or so TIE AROUND TOWN xbad there weren’t more peop- to the meeting to discuss the i211 ice plant propOSal.

It covers, as no other paper can, the problems in your district. Use it to present your ideas and suggestions. It will increase its value to all con- cerned and make the Hill district'a better place in which to live. We would like to see more “Letâ€" ters to the Editor” on the subjects under discussion in this column. Or perhaps readers will prefer to write direct to The Observer who will en- deavor to present their views. After all, ours are generally speaking from one side although we do try to be fair. Let’s hear from others on the subject of the Youth Council, re- creational facilities in the village, in- corporation as a town, more indus- tries, the bus service,. and other subâ€" jects of interest. As was pointed out, the project will cost money since not only will the plant have to be installed but also some renovations to the present rink. Whether it will ‘be financed by public subscription or by munici- pal debentures 01' both has yet to [be decided. But, with several church building extensions either planned or being considered. it won't be too easy to raise money by public sub- scription. Then too, there are other projects which may need municipal financing in the not too distant fu- ture â€" sewers for instance. Again we talked about the big fourteen carload shed. With other construction, I was told, over 7,500 feet of storage space had been added to the yard in the last 'nineteen years Another indication of the some- times slow, but always steady growth which has characterized the district and its business establishments. Change In Materials Some interesting" facts developed as construction matters were discus- sed. 'There was’ for instance, in- sulation. For the last four years “Yes,” said ,Mr, Schissler. “The supply situation is gradually easing although there is still considerable delay in getting sash and doors.” Cautious optimism coloured his reply about prices. “They are likely to remain fairly steady for 1949,” he said. 4 Naturally the question thich has plagued prospective home-owners in recent years came to the front. “Is it going to be easier to get mat- erials?” ' Mostly From Toronto “Where are the pegple coming from who are building these houses?’ I asked. “Practically all from Toronto,’ was the answer â€"- another proof of the northward spread of the city. Over ninety per cent of the building which had taken place during the past year or so was that of houses, I was told. Constaiit interruptions punctuated our conversation. Orders. by callers and by telephone shovi'ed that, even in midâ€"January, preparations were well under way'for a big 1949 build- ing programme. Especially signi- ficant was the fact that many of these orders- came from the area to the south of the Hill â€"â€" indicating that the empty spaces which separ- ate us from the city limits were rapidly filling up. ' y year, he estimates, thirty new houses were built in the twelve-month perâ€" iod and, he says, that figure should be equalled 01' even exceeded in 1949.. There, in plain and simple figures, is the evidence of our present day rapid growth. 'Schissler came to Richmond Hill in 1930 at the time Sheppard and Gill purchased their present busin- ess. During the first seven years, he told me, the average of new con- struction was one house a year. Last Of course, like mOst old soldiers, we had to spend the first few min- utes talking about what Robert Ser- vice called “those sounding hours of lustre and of loss,” or, in other words, the First Great War, in which Frank served as a lieutenant with the 75th Battalion. But when we got down to the question of building confirming information came thick and fast. There’s a lot of lumber in four- teen cai'loads. Someone must be- lieve that a great deal of construc- tion is going to take place in the district if they erect a building which will take care of that _much raw material. teen carl< lievc that tion is g From The Hilltop A COLUMN 0F VIEWS AND OBSERVATIONS (By F 2 Péter Hamilton Cutting hand 01* power Cummings Cutting B0x| Sale at 1 p.111. sharp Terms: Cash.

FORD FERGUSON TRACTOR, ETC number of home owners, in addition to those building new dwellings, have become insulation conscious and have acted accordingly. Particularly marked is the trend towards the employment of other materials besides lumber in modern construction. Wall boards and fab- ricated materials of one sort and an- other have become major items in today’s new house. “What would once last for a year.is now only good for a week,” said Mr. Scliiss- ler, referring to the use of plywood, which he rated as one of the mater- ials which had come into biggest de- mand.
