delays decision be crowned most of the few and far long visit to Loose dogs in town ship got a short reprieve from possible confinement when the township council agreed to consider another arrangement with former dog control officer George and his assistant Joe Kirley Mr Kirlcy appeared before council Monday night representing Mr Herrlngton with the notice they had done some rethinking on a decision to hand in resignations and were now prepared to offer a better dog control service Cost would be more in line with what the Ontario Humane Society had offered the township in a Joint agreement with Acton and Georgetown a year The new plan would cost the township a year for patrolling the builtup areas and a call for rural areas or the alternative which would cover the entire township Service would be on a hour basis with a telephone answering service a pound with specific hours and sufficient time to reclaim dogs The hike in cost was due to the new facilities Mr Herrlngton would have to erect in order to provide better service Mr Kirlev told council These included a new pound and land on which to build it Councillor Coxe asked Mr Kirlcy why the charge for would be based on a population when he actually would only have to service four hamlets and others would be charged for each dog captured if they took the first alternative He figured Georgetown and Acton would be getting better value for their money than the people in the township DeputyReeve Miller reminded council however that in his opinion the people in the rural parts of the township did not want the dog control service OUR READERS WRITE Esquesing should be Nassogaweyo Georgetown Ont Dear Sir I believe a correction should be made in the wording of the article which appeared in your issue of August regarding the naming of our two adjoining townships and the Indian translation of the names I had referred to a list of the rivers and creeks emptying into Lake Ontario from the Niagara to the Trent This was compiled in 17W by Augustus Jones the surveyor who did much of the early surveying in Upper Canada He was married to a woman and would be no doubt familiar with their language and his list of the Indian names and their meaning is altogether likely to be authentic The list reads In part as follows- 12Mile Creek last out creek that is towards the head of the lake Take bus tour to Ontario Place mile creek creek with two outlets that is having a island at its mouth The letter from the LieutGovernor to the Surveyor General dated April naming the upper townships by the Indian names of the principal rivers draining them was apparently in error It named the Westerly township drained by the Mile Creek Nassagaweya instead of calling it Esquesuig Similarly the centre township the present should have been called This shows that mistakes occurred in government circles even in those days In any event the Indian translation of the two names as shown in Mr Jones list would appear to be correct and the township names should have been reversed Also means Last out Creek instead of Land of the Tall Pines Yours very truly Ben Case Councillor Dick said he felt the increased service offered did not correspond with the increased rates He pointed out the township paid only in the previous agreement with Mr Herrlngton Mr Kirley replied that the Increased service would be more costly because they would also have to hire more men for patrol He also acknowledged that it seemed the township would be paying more than the other two municipalities to the agreement for area patrolled but noted population in Georgetown and Acton was more condensed and therefore less costly The cost Mr reiterated was also subject to all three municipalities banding together in the agreement Agree to consider Council agreed to consider Mr offer and stack it up against the agreement offered by the Ontario Humane Society which worked out to per capita However the society notified the township by letter that the earlier agreement was not subject to the three municipalities paying the cost of a Zenith telephone service between each municipality and the shelter a fact which annoyed members of council who felt it was firmly agreed the society would look after all costs Earlier in the meeting council received a notice from Acton indicating the town was ready to enter into an agreement with the Humane Society on the condition and Georgetown also were involved Mr told the township council he had already approached Georgetown council with his new offer and they agreed to consider it Hie mo northerly weather station in Canada is at Alert on Island GOO mites from the North Pole On August 10 a bus load of 36 Senior Citizens visited Ontario Place leaving Hall at and
