The Etobicoke TownShip pays the whole and then apportion the cost. Mr. Geo. Good- erham and Engineer Von Scoyac ad- vised the ratepayers to adopt the curb and tile drain scheme, as they would only have to put up about $3000 of the $6000,'which it would take to carry it out, the Township of Etobicoke as- suming the rest. This plan did not meet with unanimous approval, and when W. H. Brown moved for its adoption, he did not get a seconder. The majority wanted an open drain. but as there was no unanimous opin- ion, the discussion was dropped. Reeve Chas. Silverthorn and S. Barrett, clerk of Etobicoke Township, were present, but expressed no opinion oth- er than that the matter would be dis- cussed at the next council meeting. At a recent meeting of the Long Branch School Board it was decided to pay a salary of $650 per annum. But the matter of selecting a teacher was left over till a later pate. Thirty applications were received. A com- plete renovation of the school and the installation of a water system will greet the children on their return for the fall and winter term. The grounds have been graded, terraced and seed- ed.

He was an ardent tem- perance advocate and a member of the Canadian Order of Foresters. Radical conservation methods must be devised in the gasoline field. Re- ports from Oklahoma state that the output of gasoline will not be suffici- ent. Dr. Burton of the Standard Oil Company sag/s that the output will not be over 2,5 0,000,000 gallons, and of this amouht American automoblists would use 3,000,000,000 gallons, leav- ing but 500,000,000 gallons for the use of the military. The supply cannot be increased, according to Dr. Burton, who says that engineers must do all possible to increase the mileage per gallon of gasoline as a means to econ- omizing on the supply. Besides his wife, he is survived by tour brothers and two sisters. He was a brother-in-law of Aid. ll. ll.

Dear madam:-d take great pleas- ure in writing to the ladies of the Emery JVarr Auxiliary to thank them tor their kindness in sending us the socks, which arrived two days ago.

We hope that some day some of us will have the luck to return to Canada and then be able to thank you alt personally for your kindness toward us when we needed it most. Our address is the lst Can.

June 3, 1917 Nine separate buildings, of which three are brick and the remaining of sheet metal, compose the plant, which faces New Toronto Street. By means of a. Telphridge carrying system the ingredients used in the manufacture of the product are conveyed from building to building, chiefly because of the great tire risk that is connected with such a factory. Similar to most factories these days which use a large amount of power, this one has also its own power house, installed with three immense boilers, with a capacity of 150 horsepower each. In connection with this build- ing there is also a high powered water pump capable in case, ot tire of pump- ing 150 gallons per minute, or 9,000 per hour. One of the most modern and up-to- date artificial leather factories in the world, the property of the Du Font Fabrikoid Company, has just been completed in New Toronto. It cost $450,000 to erect and equip, and last week operations were commenced to manufacture the product, for which the Du Pont interests, capitalized at millions, control the entire trade of North America. The head office of the firm, known as the E. I. Du Pont de Nemours & Company in the United States, is located at Wilmington, Dela- ware. Over 100 skilled men' will be em- ployed when running to full capacity, and as the company have purchased a twelve acre site about their present plant, which only covers tour acres, it is evident that the firm intends to expand as soon as business conditions warrant. The company not only have the land, but the capital as well, for in the United States they control about 150 immense plants, manuratF turing chiefly explosives. In the manufacture ot artificial lea- ther the process is wonderful, and be- fore the product is finished it has to pass through such machines as mix- ing, graining, drying, coating, dyeing and embossing. Outside of the num- erous Jellies and dyes necessary in its production, the chief article usued is cotton flannel, ot which almost 1,- 000,000 yards per year will be requir- ed. It comes in rolls from 54 to 60 inches wide and is imported from the United States. Among the many kinds of leathers produced is material tor automobile tops, furniture upholstery, hand bags, shoe tops, “travelling bags, etc. Artiti- cial rubber will also be manufactured at New Toronto, but not on such a large scale as leather. Before the opening of this New To- ronto factory the company operated a similar but smaller and less modern plant on Dufferin Street, which has been closed and some of the machim ery transferred.

Keep down all odors. Here is your chance:-- The matter of water right was dis- cussed. Some residents build fences out to the water edge and claim to own the property. It was shown that this is true. In some cases land is owned sevéral feet into tho water. This is on account of the rising of the [ lake. y The question of a bathing station and beach was discussed. It was shown that, according to the health regulations for Ontario, no bathing station can be erected within a radius of half a mile from the intake pipe. The Board pf Trade held a ST; tul meeting on Monday evening the basement of the Methodist Church. On account ot the heat the attendance was not as large as usual.

These men will be seen at once and organiz- ed. Apparatus was discussed, but nothing definite could be done. A proposition was presented to the Board tor an edition of The Times & Guide, dealing with the Lake Shore, Mimico and New Toronto. The Board were asked to secure 250 subscribers from New Toronto. In return the pa- per dealing with all the local news will be published each week and sold for $1.00 per year in advance. The Board were much enthused and will take the matter up at once. Sample copies will be sent to the secretary this week. A question was asked Mr. Scott with reference to the new building by-law shutting out the small owner. It was stated that the purpose of the new by-law was to have houses and stores erected so as to make the town a town.
