Also a water main on the Lake Shore Road and intends to assess the sum of eight cents per foot frontage upon the lands abutting upon each side of the said street upon which the said water main is located, under the provisions of Ontario Statutes, 7 Geo. Take notice that the Municipal Cor- poration of the Town of Mimico has constructed sewers on Church Street, Main Street, Superior Ave., Stanley Ave., Victor Ave., and Albert Ave., and intends to assess the sum of seventy- five cents per foot frontage upon the lands abutting on each side of that part of the said streets upon which the said sewers are located, under the provisions of Ontario Statutes, 6 Geo. 5, Chapter 80, One new car in all its glory of com- plete and reliable mechanism passed over the Lake Shore Road tracks last night bearing at least forty people to their homes. The car seats forty com- fortably, but Superintendent J. F. Deadey states that at least one hun- dred can climb in. It has been ‘con- structed after the style of the present cars, and cost approximately $8,000. There are three others, one at Port Credit, and two at the, Sunnyside barns, which will be out on the road within a menth. Superintendent Deadey said to-day that the crowd at Sunnyside at six o’clock proves most unruly, and all crowd on the first car, instead of get- ting on the car going to their own destination. He states that the people could assist the service considerably by doing this. Mr. Elford, Road Commissioner for Etobicoke, we are sorry to report, has not been enjoying good health tor some time past. On Monday last he asked to be relieved of his duties, but under pressure consented to continue for another month, and it is hoped by then he will be recovered sufficiently to continue for a longer period. Mrs. J. Armstrong of Long Branch is confined to her bed with a bad at- tack of appendicitis. Mr. Wm. Jackson, 1st Deputy- Reeve of the Township of Etobicoke, is very busy getting his place clear ot wood, etc., on the Lake Shore Rd. G. A. Stimson JK Co. were sthe suc- cessful firm whose tender was accept- ed for the $36,000.00 debenture. Their price was $349.38 or $97.05. The other prices ranged up to $335.30. Seven tenders were opened. The Times & Guide again secured the printing by .tender. A deputation with a signed petition appeared and asked the council to widen what is ,known as the Malton Road between concessions A, 1, 2, 3 and l to the regulation' width of 66 feet. This being done the Highway Commission will take it over and build a good road. It is estimated that about 8% acres would be required all told from the different farms to make the change. The cost would be about $100 per acre and the fence to be builCabout $2,000, bringing the total cost in the neighborhood of $3000. A big-discussion took place as to whether the part between A and 1 was not a regular road purchased and therefore the full width. The whole matter and petition were turned over to the clerk to ascertain if the requir- ed number of petitioners had signed, and check up other details. All felt that it was a good step to give a good road through to these men interested. A letter was received from the York Radial Company stating that the out- lets for the water on the lake shore had been blocked. This had caused the company heavy loss in burntl out motors and inconvenienced other peo- ple. It was pointed out that this was the work of the Commission on the Highway and nothing could be done by the council. - . The Etobicoke Council met on Mon- day. All the members were present, also a. large number of ratepayers. /, An estimate of the extentions of the Hydro Electric Commission along Dundas Street was: $706.88 for first line and $704.32 tor the second line, total $1411.18. As there are only eight customers on the proposed lines the cost to the users would be 30 per 100 square feet floor space, with a minimum area of $15000 square feet; a meter rate of 4%e per KHWH. for 1st 3 K.W.H used per each hundred feet,' and 2 1-4c per K.W.H for all remaining. Then on top of all this a set charge of $1.75 per month for the construction ot the extension would be necessary. This makes the light for this section prohibitive. It was quoted at a lower figure before. The work will not be done. Mr. J. A. Snider, secretary of the York Agricultural Society, required the usual grant of $10.00 for that or- ganization./ Mr. Joseph Pearson complained about the water lying at the corner of Kipling and Bloor. He blames the council and called upon them to have it given an outlet, as it floods his pro- perty. The council looked the matter over and will take some action. J. A. TELFER, Clerk.

FRIDAY NIGHT, MARCH 8 Hodgson THE SHOE MAN is not a dress boot, but is made for men for general purpose wear. It has all the solidity and honest hand work that kept our fathers immune from broken arches and other foot trou- bless. At the same time it is built on at last which gives it all the snap and style of the up-to-the-minute boot and with lines which guarantee absolute foot comfort. If the old method of making was followed instead of my system, I would be compelled to get from $8.00 to $10.00 for this boot. \ l -'.
