changes from yaar to year the same h w barker and now to get along young street with my- recollections thu is not one of our oldest thoroughfares its location and angling direction is due to the line ol the grond trunk railway before the survey of the otr was made the set tlers from the east of the hamlet and travellers coming in from that direction came to queen ctreet and usually turned at the corner to ouelph street at the corner of the farm where peter manns father first lived and after him dave ryder then down to church street or mill street on down to the heart of uie village at simeon anderson s tavern after the grand trunk railway was put through acton about jlghty years or so ago james young surveyor of georgetown was engaged i think fly one of the adamses to make a survey of that section of farm land lying east of the railway line tills survey was made by mr young he gave uje main artery of this subdivision running from mill to queen parallel with the otr his own name the one street easterly from thin was named wellington tor the duke of wellington the hero of uie battle of waterloo and the two streets intersect ing the survey were named arthur after prince arthur duke of connaughtt then a popular little lad in the royal home at buckingham palace with his mother the beloved queen victoria and peel for sir robert peej the popular prime minister of the british purlin j lament when young street was opened and the mill street crossing over hit rail way made another route into the village the people had many annoying expert enecs in getung a rons the track if a freight tialn happened to be shunting the trainmen were apparently oblivious to the fact that the crossing was a right of way to the public a driver approach lng queen street might find a string of relght cars occupying uie crossing hi i would drive to the mil street crossing nnd by this time the train had shunted northward cutting off that street often the crossing would be blocked for ten or fifteen minutes at a time while local cars j were being picked up or placed some times if a driver would request a brake i man to cut the train and let him through he uould be answered with in suiting replies or profanity i this annoyance went on for many i years until it became a detriment to the business of the- town farmers from east i rrly sections of the country who prefer j ted trading in acton went to oeorgt loan or ertn rather than suffer the of repeated annoyance the station mas tcrs cauuoned the trainmen but their memories were manifestly aho t when their convenience in shunting was con ccmed and the abuse continued but it uri finally stopped with a tout case and a good stiff fine of course in tnese days of motor travel and this being a through highway there is seldom any blocking of the crossjng freight trains aren t as lengthy as they used to be and railway men appreciate the fact uiat crossings are for the convenience or both parties using them well for a good many years there was not much sale for the lots in young fc survey bordering on young street up to sixtyfive years ago there were only three houses on the street and none of the otner streets mill arthur
