LO.D.E.; The Rev. J. W. Morgan, pastor of the Methodist Church, occupied the pulpit on Sunday afterâ€"an absence of seven or eight weeks. The reverend gentleman publicly\e.xpressed the gratitude of himself and his wife and family to the people of Mimico generâ€" ally for the many expressions of deep sympathy with them during their reâ€" cent bereavement. _ Mrs. T. Smith and family of Pemâ€" broke is visiting friends in Mimico. Mr. and Mrs. Reid of Macdonnell Avenue have moved to Parkdale for the winter months. A considerable amount of damage was done locally by the violent storm of Wednesday night. Several summer cottages were badly damaged, and many parts of the Lake Shore Road were flooded. The, Exhibition is over again for another year, and though the weather has not been quite so favorable as it might have been, yet the attendance has been almost as great as ever, and the Exhibition has come up fully to the best that ever was before. The spectacle of the Heroes of Britain was indeed magnificent and should be an inspiration to thousands ofâ€" young Canadians to emulate the. glorious deeds of their British forefathers. This exhibition is probably the Q:eatest of its kind in the whole world, *and Toâ€" ronto may be justly proud of its magâ€" nificent scope and proportions. The Boy Scouts and Girl Guards of Mimico paraded the streets of Mimico on Thursday on behalf of the British sailors. Of all the patriotic purposes for which the people of Miâ€" mico have been asked to subscribe money to, none is more worthy than the Sailors‘ Fund, a fund for â€"the maintenance of the sailors‘ . widows and orphans. All the words in the English language cannot express the wonderful services which our â€" brave sailors have rendered to the allied cause, and it is hoped that every loyal Britisher will give to the utmost of their ability to support this most worthy cause. The Boys‘ Naval Briâ€" gade took an important part in the parade and have actively engaged in the work of soliciting subscriptions. Pte. Ernest Stirk is reported danâ€" gerously ill at Aldershot. The news was received by his father, Mr. J. Stirk, on Wednesday last. Pte. Stirk had previously been over in England and France and had been returned to Canada, suffering from. shell shock. In May last he joined up again and shortly afterwards was sent overseas again. A lady of international fame, Mrs. Pankhurst, is staying with Mrs. Ormsâ€" by of Ormscliffe. The _ celebrated leader will speak in various cities throughout Ontario and will then reâ€" turn to England, it is said, to camâ€" paign for Lloyd George. Flight Lt. Bryce Davidson is believâ€" ed to have been killed. Some time ago the report came to hand that he was missing, after being sent on a bombâ€" ing expedition over the enemy lines. Lt. Davidson was regarded as a very promising youngâ€"man in Mimico and was actively interested in the Presâ€" byterian church there. it s ~no exaggeration to say that he was one of the most popular young men in Mimico, and his services as an enterâ€" tainer were often in demand, and alâ€" ways much appreciated. Twentyâ€"five years of age and a graduate of the Parkdale Collegiate, the gallant lieuâ€" tenant went overseas in 1917, and afâ€" ter a course of special training in Engâ€" land, was sent over to France. His wife and infant son, parents and two sisters survive him. Brown‘s Copper & Brass Rollâ€" ing Mill is the Pioneer and Larâ€" gest Mill of its Kind in Canada and is Located in New Toronto France, August 1, ‘18 Minutes of previous meeting . were read and adopted. Mrs. Hunter appeared before the council on behalf â€" of the soldiers‘ wives, asking to be relieved of the interest charges on the taxes that may not be paid within the time specified. Mrs. Hunter made an eloquent apâ€" peal, and the council decided to grant The regular meeting of the town council was held in the library hall on Monday evening. Mayor Harrison in the chair, and present Reeve Bryâ€" er, Dep. Reeve Stubbs, Councillors Harlock, Eland and Johnson. Mr. N. Bryer, secretary of the Hydro Comâ€" mission, acted as clerk in the absence of Clerk Telfer. ~ The moving of the radial tracks is now well under way, and when all connections with the switches are made a five minute service will be possible, ‘and Mimico should compel 16. A fire that caused considerable damage to the home of Mr. E. Howell of Toronto caused the removal of Mrs. Howell, who is an invalid, to the home of her son, Mr. Edward Howell of Prescent Point, late on Monday night. The lady was much upset by the shock but is recovering from the effects. The building restriction byâ€"law inâ€" troduced by Councillor Eland at Monâ€" day‘s meeting of the town council should become law at the next meetâ€" ing. The byâ€"law coversâ€"all the esâ€" sential points without inflicting hardâ€" ships upon the man‘ who wishes to build his own home on limited means. The byâ€"law provides for residential and business/areas in different parts of the town and also makes provision for the building of factories. Though Mimico is principally a residential town and will become more so if proâ€" perly developed under a sane building byâ€"law, yet there is room for several factories, and the members of the council will do well for Mimico to make this fact known:. The Epworth League of the Methâ€" odist Church held their opening meetâ€" ing on Monday evening. The officials are hoping to carry on through the coming winter months an even more successful league than last year, The older residents of Mimico will learn with regret of the sad death of Mr.. Alf Telfer, a brother of the Town Clerk of Mimico, who was drowned at Honey Harbour on Saturday last. The late Mr. Telfer was for many years a resident of Mimico and was a well known and well respected citizen. A strong effort was made by many of the citizens some years ago to have Mr. Telfer come out for Reeve, but being of a retiring nature he declined the honor. The interment took place on. Monday. It is four years on the 22nd that we left the good old town. I was in the 10th Royal Grenadiers (Some of Toâ€" ronto‘s best, that‘s what we say), and we were the first to leave Toronto. Although it‘s 4 years ago, we are not coming back till its finished over here. My mother and‘ dad, who live on 3rd Street, New Toronto, have a belt of badges I sent home, and would show them to the ladies of the Unâ€" ion Jack Chapter if you asked them. Also they have two German letters I took off aâ€" Fritrie officer, which I also sent home. Well, I hope you will pardon the liberty I have taken in writing so will close by thanking you all and wishing you every success in your generous work, by remaining Yours sincerely, Just a few lines to thank you for your nice parcel and also the letter enclosed, which I very much appreâ€" ciated. Well, I am back in Blighty again now. Yes, I guess it is nice at home now the good old summer time is here. ful. The LO.D.E. have been very kind ly must say they came in very useâ€" to me, and also many others who nevâ€" lived in Mimico. They certainly have done some great work towards the boys out here and I can tell you we greatly appreciate their kindness. Afâ€" ter coming from Blighty the second time, I stayed with the ammunition column instead of going back to my battery, and my address will now be No. 341984, Driver T. G. Dea, No. 3 Section, 4th C.O.A.C., B.E.F., France, so therefore you can have my address changed.. The weather here lately has been very wet. Of course it has done good, but is very unpleasant for outâ€" side work such as we have. I suppose the, weather in Canada is much the same. Well, as I am stuck for time, I will have to bring my letter to a close, thanking you all once more for your kindness, I beg to remain, Yours sincerely, Surrey, England Union Jack Chapter, THOS. DEA W. SMITH The report of the inspector of the Fire Underwriters‘ Association was read. Councillor McKnight said that if the inspector‘s suggestions were carâ€" ried out the Fire Dept. would cost more than the town was worth. The matter was laid over until Wednesday, when a meeting will be held and Fire Chief Longstaff will be present. Mr, G. Scott appeared on ~behalf, ].)e claimed, of 200 ratepayers, and asked the council to pay the costs of the railway injunction suit. Reeve Lovejoy emphatically declined to conâ€" sider the proposal. ‘"Not one cent from this council so long as I am Reeve," he said. The Board of Trade put this action on against the council and they were defeated, and the council would not â€"pay the costs of this action. Mr. Sceott then coolly asked the Reeve on behalf of ° the aforementioned two hundred ratepayers to resign and fight the whole street question. "Nothâ€" ing doing," says Charlie, "you and your Board cannot bluif me. I have had the confidence and support of the ratepayers of New Toronto for Ssix years, and I will be right there on nomination night, but until then I am Reeve and Reeve I‘m going to stay." ) The salary of the Treasurer was fixed at $400 per year. Councillor Dyer thought they were goetting a "raw deal" in the matter of moving the street railway tracks and wanted to see the agreement. The Reeve replied that the agreement was in possssion of their solicitor, but he would have it on hand for the next meeting. Mr. J. McMullen resigned his position as caretaker of the incineraâ€" tor plant. The resignation was acâ€" cepted. Councillor Shackleton proâ€" testing. The road commissioner will look after the incinerator pending a new appointment. The passing of the accounts ended the meeting. The regular meeting of the. Town Council was held on Monday evening in the Municipal Chambers, Reeve Lovejoy in the chair, with Councillors Shackleton, McKnight and Dyeor presâ€" ent. A large number of the ratepayâ€" ers attended the meeting, agood many being unable to secure a seat in the chambers had to stand around outâ€" side. The cause of this extraordinary interest in the Council meeting was the expectation of several important questions being brought forward, over: which there was expected to be conâ€" siderable opposition. â€"The meeting was opened in the regular way with the reading and adoption of the minâ€" utes of the previous meeting. Mr. G. Gooderham, chairman of the Highâ€" way Commission, was present to disâ€" cuss the, widening of the road to 86 feet throggh the town, and Councilâ€" lor Dyer was anxious to know, who was expected to pay for the 20 feet that would be needed for the proposâ€" ed â€"widening. | The Highway~ Chairâ€" man did not feel like making any deâ€" finite, statement on that point and suggested that the council appoint Reeve Lovejoy to confer with him and then go to the government. Mr. Goodâ€" erham stated that the Highway Comâ€" mission had Queen Street in mind and it was up to the municipality_whether it would have the widening ‘of the road ‘or have the traffic diverted to Queen Street. The question of the Radial Railway Co.‘s franchise was also discussed, and it was pointed out that the solicitor of the Commission had declared that the Radial had its franchise. c f Harvest home services will be held in Century Methodist Church on Sunâ€" day, September 22nd. Rev. 8. °C Bartlett, general secretary of Young People‘s Societies of the Methodist Church, will preach at both services. At 2.30 he will address the children of the, Sunday school. A cordial inâ€" vitation is extended to all. The members of L. O. L. 328 will visit their lodge brethren at Mimico on Monday, Sept. 16th. The asking of Mr. Lovejoy to resign his position as reeve by Mr. Scott, who claimsâ€"to be the spokesman of over 200 ratepayers, is regarded genâ€" erally as a foolish piece of business. Reeve Lovéjoy has sat in the council since the incorporation of the village in Â¥913, and the majority of New Toâ€" ronto citizens see no reason to regret the support they have given him in the past, and he will have to be an exceptionaily clever .man who wins the position of Reeve from him, the Board of Trade to the contrary notwithâ€" standing. & Pte. Wm. Dunn is reported to have been wounded. If this report is corâ€" rect, it will be the second wounding of the private. A building byâ€"law introduced by Councillor Eland received first readâ€" ing and was handed over to the buildâ€" ing byâ€"law committee for consideraâ€" tion. Reeve Bryer, reporting on the fuel, stated that Mimico‘s coal allowance was the average amount delivered during the years 1916â€"17 less 6.59 per cent. of that quantity. The mayor and reeve deserve credit for the prompt manner in which they have dealt with this matter and the approxâ€" imate amount allotted to Mimico will be around 42,000 tons. A resolution was carried appointâ€" ing Mr. C. Hele as fuel controller in place of the mayor, a previous resoâ€" lution appointing the mayor being rescinded. A letter was read from the Clerk of the New Toronto council, asking the: members of the Mimico council to meet them on Wednesday evening, re the incinerator question. Permisâ€" sion from Ottawa was reecived by the council for them to go ahead with sewers on certain streets, which had been applied for. The accounts having passed the serutiny of the finance committee, were ordered to be paid, the amount being $1061.86. & ( The byâ€"law committee will meet on Friday. Mre. Flowers appeared and asked about the coal question. The Mayor stated that everything possible would be done to ensure everyone a reasonâ€" able supply of coal. the request and make some arrangeâ€" ment whereby the ladies in question would be relieved of this burden.
