It will, however, be up to the people if they want this. I am sorry that we did not have a public meeting to discuss this before. Everything has had to be rushed. Under the bill we have absolute power over the road. Yet it is our wish to give the municiâ€" pality voice and do as they. want. . Iâ€"have avplan which will give a soven. miniite ‘service:> It recuires the iengihening «of switches as followsâ€" over. six. years.. It‘s up. to the muniâ€" cipality... They. have a moral.right. to >un.over the rozd and are entitled to consideration. ; ; f As the road belongs to and is paid Tor, by. all the imunicipalities _ on.the: nighway, they can not give 17 ..away for tracks... If, a double, track is reâ€" quired ‘the.road will have. to be 85‘ wide. â€" At is up:to. you. M romameir ds Now is the time for the four seeâ€" tions to. get together and formulate a definite plan or policy for the road. At present Humber Bay, Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch cach want something different. One does not see as. the other. By. a united effort and plan an agreement could be drawa up with the, radial company. At present some â€"say. they . have not agreemient. This is a.question of law. Theâ€"comâ€" pany, have been waiting for a. repreâ€" .senyta.ti_ve.‘from the sections .to. meet and., dr‘a‘w‘ up, the new agreement for The commission met the Radial Co. and the Municipality and sucâ€" ceeded in getting the removal of the tracks to the centre of the road four feet six inches from the concrete. The total estimated cost for grading, draining ard‘moving would be $26,000 â€"$5,000 of this would be spent for the betterment of the line. Of the balance the municipality were to pay 45 perâ€"cent. or $9,450, and the railâ€" way the balance. The commission is spending an additional $6,000. This is a fair proposition. If the railway does not move now they will do so later and it will cost a lot more then. The draining and grading will have to be done anyway. It is much cheaper to do it this way as the radial comâ€" pany will help to pay for the drain | and grading.. Thus the village will save money, Don‘t get the idea that moving the tracks will be any beneâ€" fit to the radial company. It is the municipality that will receive the benâ€" efit in the greater use of her street and increased value of the property on the north side of the street. In this agreement nothing was said about giving the company anything. This proposed» plan was put in my hands at the last minute for my approval. â€"I was going away and I held my apâ€" proval over until Monday. I discovâ€" ered then that the ‘company‘s plans should in place of 1307‘. of switches | they proposed _ to put in, be‘ 8345‘. [ It just took one hour for my lawyer [ ‘to issue an â€" injunction <to. restrain them from building any such switchâ€" es. At the joint council meeting these agreements were signed by/both counâ€". cils on ths understanding. that the commission had approved and that it was the best that could be secured. A six mirute service would be given and these switches were necessatry, was their plea. All are reasonable and fair minded people.. A radial line is necessary. You all want it.. To me it doesn‘t make any difference personâ€" ally whether they run or not.. At present the service is bad and slow. A removal of the tracks to the centre will speed up the service. It will reâ€" move the great danger now existing at the many intersections. It will imâ€" prove values on the north side of . the road. It is therefore not an advanâ€" tage to the municipality. . | on the highway to be controlled by the highway commission. If the comâ€" mission so require they can move the track, injunction or not injunction. New Toronto desired to have the York Radlial road move its trucks to the centre of the road. They appeared before the railway board, who disâ€" missed the case. Thus only one course was open for the two to get together and agree to move the tracks. The laws give the complete authority for the moving of tracks or any work Reeve Lovejoy presided over a large number of the ratepayers on Wednesday evening in the New Toronâ€" to school. This meeting was called by the council to explain the removal of the York Radial tracks and payâ€" ing of the 45 per cent. of the cost. Mr. Geo. Goeoderham, chairman of the Toronto Hamilton Highway, was inâ€" troduced by the Reeve as the first speaker. In opening up he stated that he was here in his official capacity as chairman of the Toronto Hamilton Highway Commission and he had reâ€" ceived the legal document stopping all the work. This was useless, as | the Legislature gave him power to proceed if the commission desired. | It appeared to him that the nearer the road near completion the greater were the difficulties to be overcome. His whole object is to give the muniâ€" cipalities as near as possible what they want. â€"If the ratepayers are of the opinion ywhat we. are doing is notl right, all that thefi' have to do is to say so and we will investigate it. The / commission advocated an 86 foot road, i but\ Mimico, New Toronto nor Etobiâ€" | coke cannot see it. In a few years | all will see the need of it. The greatâ€" er and prosperous future of the disâ€" trict will demand it. Are you willing to sit tight and not look to this fuâ€" ture? Had Toronto looked ahead to the future would she have a narrow Yonge Street? This has been the exâ€" perience of many of the older cities. Two weeks after the opening the traffic has shown the necessity of the extra width of road. The extra 16‘ would give room to let cars and veâ€" hicles be parked when standing. Thus the 24‘ concrete can be used for the traffic. . You will never in the hisâ€" tory of the district get the 20‘ cheaper than at present. A BIG MEETINGâ€" LIVE NEWS ITEMS OF THE IAKE SHORE DistRIGT GOODERHAM EXPLAINS THE TIMES & GUIDE, wWESTON: No agreementâ€"was reached and the injunction was not withdrawn.. The meeting then closed. 4 Again he claimed that :the tracks had to be moved to the north or the south. As the whole involyed techniâ€" cal discussion the matter was not furâ€" ther gone into. Mr. Hatten, lawyer for the rateâ€" payers, stated.that he took exception to Mr. Gooderham‘s absolute power to move the tracks. Thé power inâ€" vested by the statutes was only when. required by the commission for the roadway. : He alsoistated that while nothing was in black and white yet the seven minute service would be given.

This is the first sunshine, that the »commis’sivo‘n has had as.a solution. What has been done is under verbal agreement with the commission and the company. 4 Mr. Hennory was of the 'opinion that it was up to all to unite and make a job of it if anything was to be done. The question of paying taxes for this 20‘ uind having no use_of it was introduced. Mr. Gooderharm stated that the miatter has not vet been dealt with, bus will bs shortly. No comâ€" pensation will be given if any buildâ€" ing or fence is erected on that 20‘ now at NMter when this strin will be acquired. ; It was suggested that the company purchase this 20‘. Certain authority was quoted as saying the 20‘ should be given gratis. Needless to say, this was not :rpproved of by those present. Mr. McCollum asked why the 20‘ reserved on the north side was conâ€" cealed. This caused some discussion. It was explained that the commission did not decide to take the highâ€" way! through here until . June 3rd, 1917.. As they saw 66‘ would not be wide enough, they placed the 20‘ reâ€" striction building law. This will make it easier to acquire the land. were behind him in his efforts. They wanted the tracks moved, but thought the company should pay for, it. . Mr. Gooderham stated that 90 per cent. of the $21,000 was for the purpose of grading and drainage. This would have to be done anyway. The company were thus paying their share for the drain:" The Commission were spendâ€" ing an extra $6,000. It will cost the municipality more for their share if the tracks are not moved. It will be a clay road between the tracks and the sidewalk and not ston‘e. Mr. Ironâ€" side was informed by Mr. Gooderham. A school inspection was made of both schools by the nurse last week. Her report shows the necessity of such inspections at regular periods. While the report is of a high standard, many little defects are looked after at once. _‘ It is a great precaution for the public and especially for the future generation. Parents should read the reports sent home carefully and see that they are carried out. ] The Park Hotel, Long Branch, is ‘now open for the winter season, with [ accommodation for fifty guests.

A police village has three trustees elected annually by the people and has power over the roads and the policing of the community. 5 The Corporation Committee of the Long Branch Ratepayers‘ Association met with the executive committee last night and a resolution was drafted which will be presented to the rateâ€" payers at their next meeting, asking that steps be taken to have the Long Branch district lying west of the vilâ€" lage of New Toronto, south of the G.T.R. tracks, and west to the western limits of Long Branch Park incorporâ€" ated into a Police Village.
