courtesy of mrs ceorgc ilnvill the editor of tin i mi inii ss has hud an opportunity to peruso a mot- interesting document it is the by laws of hnlton rrom ihs1 to ihiih of particular local interest is he by law to in corporate the village ot acton passed on scptcm bcr 2nd ih71 a similar bylaw incorporating the village of burlington wns passed one week inter on september oth ib71 the hy inw incorporating this village set forth thnt the census returns showed that the unincorporated village contnmed over seven hundred nnd fifty mhnbitnnts a petition had also been signed by one hundred resident freeholders prnying thnt the said village be erected into an in corporated village by the name of acton subsequent paragraphs of the bylaw set forth the boundaries in detml it wns nlso stated in the by law that the firiuction would be held in mat thews hnll at acton and thomas christie was ap pointed returning officer thnt wns just sixty seven years ago this pnst month britains blackout will never be cqmplete and then n ketraction it would appear that the houndanes were the cause of some disagreement perhaps they were over munitions when originally made hut subsequent growth does not substantiate this perhaps that was not the reason at any rate six years after ineorpor ation the county council at the request uf acton passed a by law excluding from the corporation eertain lands a paragraph from the by law here is also mteiest mg and whereas it appears thai the said villaj has no outstanding obligations and that the s i d lilnds so to he excluded are used wholly foi farming purposes that was sixi one years ago before acton had any debenture issues and most of the improve ments we now enjoy and must pay for there is also a change in the lands ai that time described as farm lauds it is now built up with homes and fac tory buildings and from the measurements appears to be that section known as the crescent and the land occupied by the beardmorc 8i co and leased to the wool combing corporation of canada sixty one years has made quite a difference hut it seems that those who described the original boon daries had more vision than those who later had these lands excluded from the village limits other old hy laws in this old booklet are also in tercsting but we dctcr comment on any furtltcr ones at this time it is a booklet well preserved and one that we hope
