Col.

About three‘hundred members of the regi- ment, returned soldiers and their friends, were present. Addresses in , praise of the war activities ot the 12th Regiment and its enterprise in estab- _qi'shing a club room for its returned soldiers were delivered by Mayor Church and Col IE. C. Bickford. Ma- jor A. T. Hunter, commander," and Lt.- Col. B, H. Brown also spoke. 7 A pleasing feature of the evening was the presentation by the Honor- ary Lt.-Col. Alex. Fraser ot the Long Service Decoration to Major A, T. Hunter, ,the officer commanding the Rangers, and the Long Service Med- al to Major F. F. M. Brown. Lt.-Col. B. H. Brown, who' presid- ed, conveyed the thanks ot the regi- ment to Mrs. H. D. Warren for her generous assistance in furnishing the club room. .He said that notwith- standing the many ways she was daily manifesting her interest in the Cana- dian soldier's welfare she still had found an additional opportunity of as- sociating herself with the splendid work undertaken by the York Rangers in carrying on the club. Mayor Church praised the war re- cord of the York Rangers, the suc- cessors of the historic York volun- teers,'and promised that any assist- ance Which the City of Toronto could give woafil be given without stint. in Canada by the organization ot the militia regiments and the strong back- ing of the civic authorities. When he was in France Sir Douglas Haig had told him that the Canadian soldiers were among the best troops produced in any portion ot the Bri- tish Empire. He hoped the return- ed soldiers would not divide them- seiVes into many little, organizations, but irstead be a. great body of men bound together through the spirit t'010- nected with their overseas war servi- The opening of the 12th Regiment York Rangers overseas_club room for returned members ot the regiment and all returned soldiers who went over- seas from the Rangers territory in the county, took place in St. Paul's hall, ‘Yonge St., on Friday night.

CASTORIA - Tuesday the council and friends en- joyed their annual picnic. The steam- er Macassa conveyed the merry par- ty across the waters ot Lake Ontario to Hamilton, where a very enjoyable day was spent. Music furnished by the Nort Toronto band, under the leadership of S. J. Douglas, added ivery much to the enjoyment of the sail, and on the return trip an ovation was tendered them for their enter- tainment of the party. #1 "C"Tr' '"'.'.. 'f i-J t'r-.tyiStE1FrMe' deputation ot the county consta- bles waited on the council, asking for an increase in salary from $20 to $25 per week. The matter was referred to the finance committee, the coun- cil favoring the raise, as the consta- bles pay tor their own telephone, which they are compelled to install, and the high cost of living necessitat- es higher wages. ty, A resolution was carried, asking the board of highway commissioners to submit a written report of the work done at each meeting of the council. Wm. Keith then gave a brief outline. of the work to be undertaken, show- ing $150,000 was to be spent on good roads this year, $45,000 of which amount was contributed by the coun- The finance ‘committee brought in a motion to levy one-half mill on the assessment, which would net $30,000. Others were of the opinion that it should be raised to three-quarters of a mill. After debating the subject, it was finally decided to adopt the amendment and make it three-quar- ters, a total of $45,000. , The British Red Cross Fund came up for consideration, the members be- ing divided on the question of assess- ment or voluntary subscriptions. York County Council was in session last week and transacted several items of, important business. "Port Credit bridge-For a county bridge, $16,747.96; for a commission bridge, $20,798 (including $800 for engineering). "Etobicoke toridge-For a. county bridge, $9418.50; for a commission bridge, $14,863 (including $600 tor engineering). "'Mimico creek bridge-For a coun- ty bridge, $13,667.94; for a. commis- sion bridge, $23,649 (including $900 for engineering). "On May 31 last the board, having representatives of. the Toronto and Hamilton Highway, representatives of the County of York, and some mem- bers of the York County Council pres- ent, the following figures were decid- istl upon: A. B. Ingram, vice-chairman of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board, takes issue with members of the York County Council, who lay the blame on the board for delay in appor- tioning the cost of bridges at Etobi- coke Creek, Mimico Creek and Port Credit. "In view of the fact that re- presentatives from the county were present when the figures were decid- ed upon, I am rather surprised at the complaint," said Mr. Ingram. "There are three parties concerned, viz_., the Toronto and Hamilton Highway Com- mission, York County and the gov- ernment. I understand the percentage each will be required to pay will be 40, 30 and 30, respectively. Adjourn- ments were made, not at the instance of the board, but because certain in- formation was lacking, and because the parties were give an opportunity of trying to come to some agreement between themselves. . DENIES THAT BOARD YORK COUNTY COUNCIL acr-tr'rvrm"'; I??? r"e?i5tTt'trozrr- TWO NEW CLUB ROOMS IS CAUSE OF DELAY All hopes centre on the 1918 crop of North America. Of all crops the wheat crop is the most vital. The Canadian wheat crop estamates tor 1918, issued by the Census and Statis- tical Branch, put the increased wheat area at 1,324,950 acres and 425,600 acres increase in oats. Unofficial es- timates from those in close touch with conditions in the West place the in- creased wheat acreage at over 2,000,- 000 acres in the Prairie Provinces alone. Given rain, there will be an immense grain crop in the West, in fact, increased grain crops throughout the Dominion. The only anxiety then will be as to the harvest. Where are the men to come from? Some will come from the United States,no doubt, because their harvest operations are over earlier than ours, but it is said that 50,000 men Will be needed in the West alone. People of towns will have to\organize their affairs so as to get out on the farms when the time comes. Otherwise the harvest will be only partially saved and every grain _pt_tpspts9,1ftst will be wanted. The acreage in Canada is the highest ever recorded. I feel that I express the sentiment of the Government at Ottawa and of the public at large, when I say the greatest credit is due the volunteer assistants throughout the riding, who have by their national and patriotic sacrifice saved the government thous- ands of dollars which can be devoted to maintaining Canada's share in the war. I must also/ express my apprecia- tion of the tremendous assistance I have received from Mr. J. Harrison, reeve of Mimico, the councillors and clerk of New Toronto, Mrs. G. H. Gray, and Mr. Dennis of Weston, Mrs. W40. Duncan and Miss Olive Wallace of Woodbridge, all of Whom in con- junction with the school principals, have successfully organized in their respective municipalities efficient and capable organizations of citizens to act as assistant deputy registrars, thereby offering the greatest amount of convenience to the public to regis- ter, and relieving me ot a great bur- den of work. Registration has been completed in the district of West York without the slightest difficulty, owing to the effi- cient and patriotic assistance of the school teachers and voluntary assist- ants throughout my district. It has been a, distinct pleasure to be met with ut1etinted and enthusiastic sup- port, whenever and wherever I have appealed for voluntary assistance. I cannot express my appreciation of the work performed by the school prin- cipals and trustees alHover my district, entailing, as it did, a_sacriticing of an enormous amount ot their time dur- ing their busiest season. Delegates to Niagara Falls cynven- tion expenses amounted to $26.30. Meters for light, etc., will bé plac- ed in all tents and summer houses where Hydro light is used. Mr. Bell reported on the conven- tion wgieh has held at Niagara‘on June 14th, and 15th at which Mr. Bell and D_ep.~Reeve Stubbs represented the Mimico Commission. The report wass considered satisfactory. Afecounts to the amount ot $590.04 were passed and ordered to be paid. Reeve Bryer later occupied the chair. Minutes of previous meeting were read and adopted. A Hydro Commission meeting was held on Monday, June 24th. Dep.- Reeve Stubbs in the chair. A resolution authorizing payment was duly carried. Council then adjourned. , Accounts amounting to $5817.62 were recommended by the Finance Committee for payment. _ A special meeting of the, council will be held on July 4th for the fur- ther consideration ot the building by- Jars, Eug‘iié In connection with the appeal of Mr. C. P. Smith and Dr. Davidsqn against their assessments, which will come up on Thursday morning, the 27th, Messrs. Clark and Swabey were authorized to act for the corpora- tion. V A deputation will meet Mr. Fea- therstonhaugh on the premises to dis- cuss the proposition with him on Thursday evening. Mr. Featherstonhaugh wrote again asking for something definite to be done regarding water service to the "Towers," which is being fitted up as a convalescent home for soldiers, and also regarding the providing 'electric lighting tor: the same building. Complaint received from Mr. R. Patterson re garbage collection. Mr. Derbyshire, when questioned, stated that the garbage was not placed in the proper place for collection. Mr. Patterson will be notified to place gar- bage convenient for collection.» Communications were read from the Department of Assessment re amend- ments to assessment act. It was laid over. _ Mr. McLean, representing the Mem- orial Institute of Toronto, asked for water service to be carried to their camping site'" on Mrs. Crow's proper- ty. The request was granted upon the Institute agreeing to pay the sum of twenty-five dollars for the cost of the necessary material and labor in- volved. After discussion, during which Councillor Johnson gave a short ac- count of how the railway company came to close certain crossings, the council came to the conclusion that the only remedy was to take the mat- ter up with the Ontario Railway Board, but in the meantime the mem- bers of the council will go over the situation. A BIG CROP IS HOPED FOR Mr. T. Riding headed a deputation of residents north ot the track, re crossing tracks. Mr. Riding stated that the residents have been stopped from crossing the G. T. R. tracks and consequently had to walk either to Church Street or Salisbury Avenue, and asked the council to take up the matter with the company with a view to having a crossing made be- tween the points mentioned. Minutes of Court of Revision and of meeting held on June 13th were read and adopted. Dep. Reeve Stubbs,CouncilIors John- son, Harlock and Bland also were present along with Clerk Telfer. REGISTRATION COMPLETED The regular meeting of the town council was held in the library hall, Reeve Bryer in the chair, Mayor Har- rison being in Montreal on business. HYDRO COMMISSION J.
