Haxe you noted the complaints that are put forth by those who use our roads into and out of the city. Also the roads that lead to our town. This is a question that has to receive the attention of our town council. While there is no check ~upon the roads, things will not improve. While the present main road built has not stood up to the casual observer, if you will stop and think you will discover that it has. Juste for one day the traffic that passes over the road, (Not the light buggy and waggon traffic, not the touring car, but the heavy ton truck. These heavy trucks that are now running over these roads require a much better built road than we have at the present time. In the first place the road is not built to carry the extra heavy traffic.. At the lower end of Mount Dennis you will see where the traffic i§ still heavier that the road is in much worse condition. It has beâ€" come very bed and is hard to repair. It has come to such a point that you do. not ‘kmow where to ‘start in to reâ€" pair. WThis is the present condition and it must be faced. We will have to have the road put into better conâ€" dition. It does not seem to be pracâ€" tical to put on the present road a reâ€" dressing or new top. Those in charge have not as yet found any way of putâ€"= ting a~â€"new top on these roads. â€"It looks like a new road. ‘Much of this could have been. avoided if our road system were changed entirely in reâ€" gard to repairs. The sectional gang idea iny use in England and on our railways is the rigtt solution for betâ€" ter roads. All repairs are then made as soon as they appear.. The road does not get beyond the man in charge of the section. ~He is on constant watch for the lifftle weak spots and they are ‘put into shape as soon as they appear. This would have preâ€" vented many of the large holes that are now filled with small loose stone. It will have to be attended to, for we find it hard on those using â€"the road daily. Then about our approaches into the town. There should be some little coâ€"operation with the neighborâ€" ing municipalities to have the roads leading into Weston put into shape. Think of it, five cats were stuck in one day right on the Scarlett Road at the top of the Elms. Look at all our approaches. They turn people away from Weston instead of bring ing them here. The council ought to go into this question of roads. i There will be another big reception tendered to the returned ‘bhoys by the town â€"officially toâ€"night. The usual routine will take place. It is expected that there will be a large number on hand to receive the official welcome home and the small token of appreâ€" ‘clation that the town gives to each boy. All, who enlisted from Weston and lived within the town limits are entitled to one of these medals. It is well‘ that you should see that your friends returned are reported, to the town officials/ It has always been a full hall to welcome home these men, and it is to be hoped that the usual large number will be on hand this time, . Come early to gea seat. MUN RECEPTION TOâ€"NIGHT HENS AT IT AGAIN OUR ROADS PAL MATTERS WEST YORKS NEWSY WEEKLY A week from toâ€"day is the first of May. It has been suggested that a special effort be put forth to clean up everything in sight that week. By everything in sight we mean all rubâ€" bish that has accomulated during the winter, all ash piles, tin can dumps, old papers, etec. There is not the least doubt but that it will improve the general appearance of the town. While however there is no definite commitâ€" tee to attend to the details of a sysâ€" tematic cleanâ€"up, it will not be done well. It is the systematic effort that counts. Get everyone pushing along with one common end in view. This is what counts in a general cleanâ€"up of the whole town. With the apâ€" pointment of the Weston Civic Imâ€" provement Committee it would be a splendid opportunity for them to set this off right. Make the day a little later and have a cleanâ€"up in this town that will long be remembered as a red letter® day in‘ the history of /the town. It can be done very easily and there will be little sexpense attached to‘it. 7 It is an easy matter for you to put your farm. in what might reasonably be callted perfect physical condition as regards fire hazards if it is well built, on good foundations, metal or other nonâ€"inflammable roof, propérly ventiâ€" lated, painted, has no stoves or fire heat, electric wiring approved by Hyâ€" dro Inspector, not used as a garage; no gasoline, coal oil or other volatile oil kept in it, proper hooks for lanâ€" terns, is kept shut and locked at night, and equipped with properly installed lighting rods; or if a metal roof is used see that it is properly grounded. It is assumed that 50 per cent. of fires with "Cause un‘known" in barns can be charged to the foolishness of smoking in them. J Matches should not be carried loose in h man‘s pocket., A match may casiâ€" ly be dropped in the hay or other inâ€" flammable material and if stepped on cause a fire. Avoid the danger of burning up your buildings and stock by not carying matches loose. During 1918 there were 836 barns burned in Ontario, causing a loss of $1,093,931. The buildings destroyed were valued at $677,096 and their conâ€" tents at $416,835. The 8 year old son of Mr. and .Mrs. Sydney Franklin, of Cobourg, for/mer- ly of Elmira, drifted out into the lake and died of exposure. j _A furrow or two of turned land next to the railway rightâ€"ofâ€"way will save pasturage, hay, and green crops from destruction by fire. § Brusch or tbubish should not be burned within 200 feet of the barn, and never when there is a high wind. The farmers were reimbzursed. by the insurance companies .to the exâ€" tent of $640,814, and were burdened with a direct loss of $453,117 as a reâ€" sult of these barn fires, and this in addition to the fires which occurred in dwellings. Many kave the false idea that it is the insurance companies that pay this colossal tax. The insurance companâ€" ies collect the premiums and distribâ€" ute them as fire losses. The greater the fire loss the more.they must colâ€" lect. If they collected less than they pay out they would soon be bankrupt, In addition to having chemical fire extinguishers in the dwelling and farm buildings, it is well to have fire buckâ€" ets filled with water located in conâ€" venient places. Biâ€"carbonate of soda is a fireâ€"killer. For effective work put 4 to % lb. of bi-caiébonate of soda to the gallon of water in your fire pails. SANITARY CONDINMION OF BARNS pO MUCH TO PRVENT © / FIRES _ The greater the fire loss the more the people are assessed to pay for\it, and the, less they have to spend for other things. If near a rallroad. the buildings should be covered with metal or other nonâ€"inflammable roofing, and no doors or windows should be left open where sparks might blow in. _° WEDNESDAY, AERIL 23RD, 1919 CLEAN UP WEKK N WESTUN For some little time there has been considerable criticism. offered about our water works system. During the spring freshets the water was in bad condition. ~This was due mostly to the overtaxed capacity of the filters. Some doubted and : expressed their doubts about the new filters doing the work any better. No positive asâ€" surance could be given until there was a test made.. We are glad to be able to state in these columns that the asâ€" surance can now be given publicly. The test has been made and the sysâ€" tem has done all that was required of it. During the past few days the heavy rains have washed into the rivâ€" er all the dirt fromm the farms, roads, streams and streets. It was in as bad condition as any spring flood. It conâ€" tained allâ€"the top dressing of the land that the spring rush never has.. Yet with all this there has been running from_every tap in the town pure clear water. This is what has been accomâ€" plished, by the new filters installed and the whole system that treats the water from the time it leaves the river until it is used by the consumer. This is what the commission saw and hayve been working for under great: critiâ€" cism. They have given the‘ results and e as citizens should be ready to. give them the credit... Weston toâ€"day has one of the finest systems for treatâ€" ing the water that can be seen in any municipality. Reports from the anâ€" alysis show that we have pure water, good for drinking and domestic purâ€" poses. This is indeed a great asset to any town. We as citizens should be proud of the whole system. The big trouble, however, is that we are not in touch with the details, We don‘t trouble to go. up and look the plant over. We are satisfied/as long The plant is situated on sixâ€"acres of land north of the town on the banks of the Humber River. The large pumping station which houses the enâ€" gines, pumps, filters and other equipâ€" ment, is a oneâ€"storey red brick buildâ€" ing with an artistic appearance, . It s on the flats and hidden from the Weston Road, The water hters a shore well of two compartments. Here at the intake are three sets of_\ sereen which separate all the large particles from the water as it is Ii)umped‘ up to the basin. These screens are. changâ€" ed daily to be cleaned. 35 as there is water drinkable pumped through the system. How it is done does not interest most people. For. those who are interested we might exâ€" plain the whole system. As the water is pumped into the basin there is a solution of chloride pumped. into the main. This is the second treatment that it gets as it enâ€" ters the large basin. There are two basins with a total capacity of about 1,260,000 gallons. In the first sediâ€" mentation and aeration of the water takes place., As the water stands in this basin all the sediment drops to the bottom and‘the cleam water comes to the top. This is through the action of the sun as "the water passes over the cement wall that divides the two acrates the water. From this second basin the water is pumped into the filters. As it leaves the basin %‘re is an alum solgtion pumped in?o he main.. This catuses a coagulation of all bacteria and other matter into one particle, which drops to ‘the bottom. This coagulation takes about four minutes, or the time that the water leaves the basin‘! until it is in the filâ€" ters. 4 2 7 < Abryy Their are ‘five filters, with a total capacity of filtering 1200 gallons per minute. The water is pumped into the filter and filters through three feet of very fine imported sand. This gathers in all the particles. On reachâ€" ing the bottom of the first compartâ€" ment the water runs through a large number of fine screens to an 8 inch bed of coarse gravel and then another 8 inches of fine gravel. There are about 300 screens all told in the three new filters. Thus by the time that the water has passed through all of these filters all bacteria and impuriâ€" ties are removed. WESTON‘S WATER PLANT HIGHLY EFFICIENT There is on the| average. 200,000 gallons of water consumed daily in Weston.. It. requires about 10 hours per day pumping to keep up with this. The average.pressure maintained is between 40 and 60 lbs. In case of fire the standpipe can be shut off and the pressure raised to any point. This is done and there is always a presâ€" sure of about 115 ibs. in case of fire. All this is operated at a small cost when comparisons are made with othâ€" er centres about the same size. as Weston. We can indeed feel proud. of the whole system, both at the ofâ€" fice and at the pumping station. _ The water is then pumped into the main, ready for the town, or direct to the Stand pipe. These filters are casâ€" ily reversed for the purpose of, cleanâ€" ing. The pure water is put through by the pumps and all refuse is cleanâ€" ed from the filters each day. It takes about half an hour to clean each filâ€" ter. The water \Lhus used is run into the river. Anyone who wants to see what is taken out of the water by these filters, just take a trip up to the pump house and investigate for yourself, Under the present system there is not more than twoâ€"thirds of the power used. An auxiliary pump run by gasoline should be installed to make the ‘whole system complete. This will be inâ€" stalled in the near future, we have no doubt. The town have in this plant and the surrounding grounds a most valuable .asset. JThe view and the general surroundings lend themâ€" selves to make this at very small outâ€" lay an ideal location, Visitors ‘are welcomed at any hour in the day. The engineer in charge, superintendent, commissioner, or one of the officials, will be pleased to show them around. Rockwood people tendered Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
