They explained on account of the great necessity they had gravelled Maria Street. John, William and other streets will also be fixed and repaired. The committee were commended for their good work. These streets are very bad during wet weather. Some of the residents found it difficult to get along with their ears. The council feltpvhile its policy is economy, it is good economy to keep the streets in good condition and repair. Nothing will be done except what is necessary. Theralso reported as to the oiling of the roads in town. This is a good move. Dust destroys and carries germs. This will remove this source of complaint from some. _ The Goods Roads Commission reported that the centre of the road on Main Street will be coate d with tarvia again as soon as the present layer isthoroughly set. The council On the following motion endorsed the conscription bill: That we endorse the action taken by the Premier of Canada, Sir Robert Borden, in his stand for conscription in Canada. This was passed with the approval of all present. ( The tenders asked for the work of making tables with seats and benches were opened. Three were received. No. 1 called for $44, No. 2 for$49.50, and No. 3 for $75. The tender was awarded to Mr. Pearson at $44. The work will be started at once. Six tables each seven feet long, with benches on each side will be made. Also six benches will be placed in the park for seats. This is the move to make exhibition park or the Humber bank,a place to gather in. The town Hall is to be put in a habitable condition. On motion it was decided to ask for tenders to decorate the council chamber, also to install a heating system for the whole building. After these renovations a new floor will be put down by Mr. Pearson, who submitted his estimate for the same. At present the council chamber is not the most inviting place on a cold night. Five stoves are used to produce a half heated place. They all seemed to think that it was a big waste. Some discussion was carried on as to whether it should be steam or hot water system. It is left open for both systems to be tendered for. The next important move was that the town would ask for tenders for 25 tons of coal. In the past it has been bought by the single load. This is a good economical move. Instructions were given to have the flower beds put into shape at once. The meeting closed with the passing of the accounts. been' awarded the Military Medal for great gallantry, bravery and coolness in facing the enemy on the field of battle on April 20th. He enclosed the piece of ribbon that was pinned on him Sunday, May 20th. Mr. and Mrs. Allen are naturally very proud of their son's success. Bob is the first Weston born boy to receive the Military Medal. Their two sons, Jack and Bob, were the first Weston born boys to win their commissions on the field, and their son, Leonard, killed in action Jast fall, was the first Weston born boy to pay the supreme sacrifice. Co. Sergt.-Major Allen was ordered to call upon the Assistant Military Sec. of the C. E. F., and Was told when he returned from a leave which has been granted him, he Would be put on the, instructor's staff until the officer's:cpurse open- ed in August, then he will join them. "s ( f , The Railway Board have extended the time for installing protection at the Church Street crossing until the lst of August, 1917. Bells were ordered at this dangerous crossing last December. This construction should be rushed at on,ce. Only last week a car coming down Church Street was trapped between an up-going C.P.R. train and a G.T.R. train. It is impossible to see any distance either way coming down Church Street. The extension of time, however, is granted and there is no redress. The ad. in the, Heaton Manual taken by the town was. .shown. to the counc1_l. All were well pleased. The ad. consists of a full page in the cook .book_, glymg a plcture of the high school and all the details in regard to the town. This booklet will be distributed all over Canada and part of the United States. The town constable, Mr. Campbell, has hid a very busy week. Over 30 motorists have appeared by invitation -and paid oversome of' their cash into the treasury. The speed limits must be Teco&- nized here. The town by-lawsallp for 15 miles per Bohr; Yet some pass through the town at the rate of 40 miles. "This is very dangerous with so much traffic coming down John, Church, King and Dufferin Streets. The road 'is narrow at these points and does not give much opportunity to get clear. Those fined were all travelling over 22,% miles per hour. Be careful and observe the law. “Safety First" is the great slogan for everybody. Five minutes longer will make no difference in the end. Be assured, Mr. Campbell is right on the job behind the corners, trees and bushes with his little stop watch. The laws call 20 miles a safe speed and they should know. Just try to ob- serve the law. 7 ' -- The regular monthly meeting of the Weston town council was held on Monlay evenlng. The Mayor presided. Councillor Sainsbury was the only absentee, he being away at Camp Borden. The minutes were read and approved. The correspondence was received andpassed, upon. Mr. Tyrell made application for a raise of 5c per hour. He is at present only receiving 30c per hour and does not work full time. Some days) he only gets part of. the day and other times only a Jew days.in the week. As he has always been faithful and can be relied upon at all times, the motion granting the increase was unanimous. f The work has been done to our exhibition park. Trees are planted, the grounds are to be kept and seats and tables are being built. This great asset of our town is now being turned into its pro- per use. It is now for the townspeople to use it more than they have. It is open for our children to use it as a play ground. This will also be a big protection to the children. While children are allow- ed to play on our roads and public streeterthey are always running into danger of being hurt or killed. Passing vehicles do not get a chance when children'run out of lanes, cross streets or from be- hind wagons or cars. Again it is not sanitary to have your children play in these back lanes, alley- 'ways/roadways, etc. Let them congregate in the park, There is enough space for everybody to enjoy themselves. You just think of how much more congenial and safer it is for your children. Then you will also take an interest in the further development of the exhibition park. What we want here is to get everybody realizing that we are living in a town, not in a country hamlet' without iroads, sidewalks, sewers 'or water works. All of these improvements are what has made our town. Don't talk if your property is too heavy for you to carry, place some of it on the market. Don't ask exhorbitant prices. It will be cheaper for you to sell now than talk about high assessment. People believe what they hear if they hear it often enough: Therefore if you talk high assessment they believe it. If you will talk the other way you will soon get a big following. Now just try it for one big reason: It will boost your property and line your own pocket. Every knock will keep it down, every boost will raise it up. Don't line up against it, rather line up to lift the town to its proper place. Weston is coming into its own, and you can' do your little bit now. Onceagain the big cry has gone up against the assessment. Over 100 appeals were made. Yet only 20 of these were granted by the Court of Appeal, Thusthey uphold the assessor. The general opinion is that property should be assessed for bne-tipird of its value. This is not according to the law. An assessment should be made of the total cash/value. This is not done here and our assess- ment is low. Weston contains a lot of unused vpropei‘iy. That is, we have here a lot of property that was bought on speculation. This has been rather heavy to carry, especially in the case of small salaried men or persons who have a big load on hand. Had the big prices continued as before the break came these men would not have been crying about. their taxes. They would have got out right. This, however, did not last. As a result they are led and find the taxes burdensome. A com- parison of Weston property and that of other place, will show that our assessment is not high. This would open up the eyes of some of our men. L Let them look at the surrounding towns and vil- lages. Look at your districts. Compare your privileges and theirs, compare your condition and theirs. Compare your assessment and theirs and what do you find? That you have some cheap property, that this property is not assessed too high, that you are living in a town with situation and privi- leges that few towns around Toronto can boast of. Again, a comparison not with conditions 30 years ago, but with the present day values, will shbw that? your assessment is.not too high. LOCAL HAPPENINGS OF GENERAL INTEREST Yrs.
