It is _ not anticipated that the whole of the budget will be used but the figure has been set to provide for contingencies on account of growth. Three years ago the township road budget was only 133140.000. The in- crease has been brought about be- cause of the provision of adequate equipment and the rapid growth of township population. Figures indicate the %rowth which has taken place. In May. 1948, there were 596 mower consumers of all classes in Richmond Hill.

I The speckled trout season will open on the morning .of April 30th, the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests has announced. Pickerel Margerum was alone in the car at the time of the aceident, which took place at 5 p.m. The vehicle, an old model Plymouth, smashed head on into a 'tree on .the east side of the street and was extensively damaged. So severe was the impact that parts of the car were imbedded in the tree. A freak feature of the accident was the fact .that, when his head was smashed against the windshield, Margerum‘s hair and scalp Were caught so tightly by the shattered glass that the hair had to be out be- fore he could be removed.
