H. E. Lewis, who went overseas with the 19th Battalion in 1915 and returned to Canada in 1916, owing to wounds reecived in September of 1915, which incapacitated him tor service, ' A representative of the Grand Trunk Railway Company visited Mt. Dennis recently with a view to select- ing a, site for the proposed newsta~ tion. As yet the exact location is not settled upon but it is decided to erect a building in the vicinity of Ray Avenue as that seems to be centrally located, easy of access and should a, ’union station be decided upon this point is considered to be the best. This movement is a step in the right direc- tion and means much to the business people/of Mount Dennis who at the present time are much handicapped with the lack ot proper and efficient transportation. , [In Tuesday, March 25th, the young people of Mt.

Pioneers and Historical Society purchased the old Davidite Temple of Peace at Sharon, together with about 4 acres of land, and presented it to the County as a public park and an historical centre, naming it "York Pioneers' Park." This property is now open free to the public, Mr. J. D. Graham, of Sharon, being the curator. It is a picnic re- sort but that there may be gathered into the Temple books and articles of historical interest and our readers are urged to be on the lookout for such and endeavor to have them de- posited there. Quite a number of such articles have already been donated, the last coming from the T. Eaton Co., Toronto, who have generously present- ed an old time "buckboard" and an ancient “sugar kettle," part of the re- cent pioneer display in the Eaton store. Don’t fail to visit the park this coming summer. Wanted for York Pionecrs’ Park, Sharon, Ont. Well in Hand Three cases of spinal meningites have been reported by the M. O.

His many friends are pleased to hear of his position and wish him prosperity in his fresh undertaking. NOTE THE SMILE! HISTORICAL RELICS MOUNT DENNIS HUNEBER BAY 'st, MAIN ST, WESTON RICHVIE‘V L LA ROSE for all dt He would like to see village or pre- ferably town, government but before this occurs would like to see the high- way taxes arranged for, also the hy- dro radial question settled and the debentures for same spread in prop- er proportion over those ratepayers enjoying the, privileges of these under- takings. When that time comes, our population will be such that we can take in west to Etobicoke river and north of Lake Shore Road at least two and a half; miles. However, if the majority want r,oads, water, sew- age, etc., the best solution, undoubt- edly is, to join up with New Toronto. arbitrators will settle the financial li- abilities ot, each party, so that Long Branch ratepayers need not fear New Toronto's liabilities. Hard to Get Details At the regular meeting of the Long Branch Ratepayers' Assoc. held on Friday evening there was a fair turn out of the members but not of the district. The conditions of the street car service was taken up and the fol- lowing report heard: The Radial Co. have given them to understand that with double-tracking to Keele St. their dreams of a, ten-minute service would be realized, ‘but they also pointed out that this is Toronto property, over which they have no agreement to op- erate, and could stop at the Humber to-morrow if they so wished. There- tore, any relief at this amrmust come from the city. The deputation pro- ceeded to Commissioner Harris, who would have nothing to do with the scheme, and could promise no help fromthe city at this point until the entire street car Service of the city was taken over in 1921. IMr. Macdonald, being a permanent resident ot Long Branch Park, though having the privileges of both these as- sociations, states that his greater in- terests are with those outside the Park and with the Long Branch Rate.. payers' Assoc. He realizes that the roads in Long Branch Park are better than those outside the park, also rea- lizes park people paid for them, most- ly by subscription, while their statute Labor taxes tor nearly twenty years were all spent on other' sections of the Township. Furthermore, he realizes that Municipal taxes, which are con- trollable, cannot exceed 20 mills and are for repair work only, insofar as roads, sidewalks, electric lighting, etc., of the municipality are concern- ed. Very many of the recent addi- tions to this locality, overlook the' fact that all roads, etc. ,must be un- dertaken under the local Improve- ment Act and paid tor in their own taxes, that all they are entitled to for roads, etc. in front of their own prop- erty and there only is to the extent of the statute labor tax paid by them- selves, which, heretofore, has been at the sale of one or two dollars a year. Long Branch park Which is looked after by the Long Branch Cottagers' Association, the majority ot members being city of Toronto residents. The residents ot Long Branch section are looked after by the Long Branch Ratepayers’ Association. Neither ot these associations has legal control of any kind whatever. The trackage in question would be approximately 2,400 feet, and would cost between three and four thousand dollars. Owing to the fact that over a thou- sand ratepayers of the' city are em- ployed along the Lake Shore road, the suburban residents feel that the city should interest itself in transportation tor these points. Point of View Well Taken The following item is the result of an interview with Mr. A. J. MacDon- ald, of Long Branch: This means that the case is closed as far as the company are concerned. The next step is in order. All should back up each other on the Shore and go right after the company. They are bound to serve the public. They must supply the needed cars to trans- port the people or give up their rights. It this matter is put up to the railway board by those interested on the Shore front as a united appeal there will be results from their-appeal. Let all get together on the matter. The question of the incorporation of the district west of New Toronto into.a separate village about 500 acres in all was brought up. The commit-. tee had nothing to report but Mr. A. J. Macdonald, one of the old residents of the park, had a’lot of matters that he wanted brought before the people of the district before the matter was presented. He had gathered a lot of figures which are given here below tor your digestion. Long Branch Village Incorporation -- . Recapitulation Total assess. Long Branch, 1918...........d ....

Cost of street lights $850.00 a year. Long Branch pays $500, Township $350.00 here is a. loss. Roads and Local Improvement The late Reeve Silverthorne said We had 35 miles ot roads counting lots 50x100 and 48 to block, with 60 toot roads, it looks like 23 miles. On these 23 miles, we have four hundred hou- ses, or one to every 350 feet of 60 foot road. Therefore, for the present, but, few, sections can economically take advantage of local imp.1aw. There is nothing in the proposal made by some of the ratepayers of making the larger taxpayers pay for roads prom- ised by land speculators. Section 52, sub-section 1, paragraph E protects the larger taxpayers. It is easy to raise the value and lower the tax rate. Powers of Township Section 250, Municipal Act, gives Township Council power to pass any kind of a by-law except where for- hidden and contrary to general laws. or was ovegpaid .......'.. 2768 04 For pay lent of $4666.96, Long Branch got $2435, plus 5000 - $7435 in Value. Hydro Radial New roads say 60 feet wide ' grounds, about 15 acres. Add widening Lake Shore road feet about 5 acres. Average assess. per acre is $900 acres about $18000. $18000 lost assessment mills about $450 a. loss. Balance left for roads light New Toronto At present if incorporation is so necessary, why not join New Toronto, if possible? Make New Toronto the business ward and Long Branch the residential ward. Then you could have building restrictions, cheap municipal goirernment, together with water- works,. sewage, etc. _ Termite Hamilton Big] It 2 miles, in village taxes mile each side. Sewage is satisfactory, settled as village or f T present. Eastwoods and Imuniss Any teritory can be taken into a. village on incorporation though only by agreement afterwards. Etc. ...._.... Actually received If 1 mile in village taxes mile each side ' These figures show that it would be folly for this section ot the town- ship to leave the township and incor- porate as a spearate municipality. Those who hare the big holding in the community would have to share a. very heavy burden and would re- ceive no mor'e value in return for the extra outlay. This is the great point at stake. What are the advantages of incorporation? Is it not for those who are newly settled in the district? Is it not a plan where by they are out to build roads, lay sewers, water works, etc, at the expense of the whole community. This is a matter that must be considered very Icaret‘ully before the step is taken. At the present time the south end of the township are be- ing helped by the taxes collected from the northern end. Those in the norttt would no doubt be well pleased to see the south end incorporated. Be careful and remember that the boy is never too old to lean on father. This resolution was turned down by the meeting:" That this association in- vite the representatives of the differ- ent sub-divisions promoting c0mpan- ies to meet the ratepayers at a special meeting to be held on some date, sat- isfactory to all partiees, at Long Branch school, to discuss the quest tion of local improvements. As much misunderstanding prevails among the purchasers of sub-division? lots which is well to have elucidated in the interests of all parties concerned. That a committee be. appointed to make the necessary arrangements. Mr. Macdonald should be support- ed in his action to bring this matter fully before the ratepayers ot the dis- trict and given every co-operation. There is a, desire on the part ot those living; outside of the Long Branch park to become a municipality of their own. This would be better for all concerned if those same efforts were turned towards a uniting with New Toronto. Situated as the district is, this would be the only proposition that is worth considering at the pre- sent time. There is no doubt that New Toronto will be a great n1anutac- turing and industrial centre. When the new harbours are built and the roadway widened and built out anoth- er twenty feet, then look out tor great- It is easy to the tax rate.

Where. there is in- dustry, there must also be homes, thus where will the home-seekers turn to? A small community heavily taxed? No they will look for the small taxed place. Then it you were to come into the municipality of New Toronto you would have these improvements .at your door ready to be paid at a smal- ler cost. You would have your light plant, water works, municipal ad- ministration and other details all shared by a big industrial centre. Your schools would receive their share, thus it would be the greatest move for the district. Join up with New Toronto. The nearest supply base for the front line was 35 miles away, accord- ing to a. recent report, and all trans- port was by small ponies and small sleds.
