The West Langstafi' Ratepayers Association on Monday night held its final regular monthly meeting until the end of September when the nomination of officers & execâ€" utive for the 1951-52 term will take place. Ratepayers Assn. Adjourn For Summer Mr. E. Brennan, president, read- the constitution drafted, proposâ€" ed by thc Executive Committee, and each article was accepted after discussion where- necessary. Two items in particular drew In)er comment and showed a keen desire on the part of the members to an- ticipate points which might cause dissension and to word the consti- tution so as to avoid this. One was the limiting of the general funds and the other concerned am- endments to the byâ€"laws. Many views were expressed in connection with both and it was finally decided that the General Funds, which do not include those raised by special committees such as the entertain- ment committee, should be limited to $75.00; the feeling was that sum should be sufficient for the opera- tion of the association which does not exist to accumulate a profit, and that any General Funds in ex- cess of $75.00 should be assigned to a Building Fund. So that the byâ€"laws can be amended at the dis- cretion of the membership, it was agreed that amendments could be presented in writing at any general meeting to be brought up at the following general meeting if a two-thirds majority of the mem- bership was in favour of discussion of the amendment. The boundaries were set at Yonge Street on the east, Westwood Lane on the north, Bathurst Street on the west and northern boundary of Thornhill on the south. The purposes for which the association was formed included working for community improvements and the development of friendly pastimes and relations among the residents. Following questions from the floor regarding the proposed com- munity hall, the president gave a resume of the origin, aims and some of the later activities and plans of the Langstaff Recreation- al Committee. After the adjourn- ment of the meeting, a huge basket of delphiniums donated by Mr. B. Heslop was rafl‘led and the pro- ceeds included in the funds; Mrs. Dick Ab'lett was the winner.
