Mr. John Scott, of Scarlett Road, met with a. nasty accident on Satur- day last as he was returning home from Weston. His horse became frightened at the large traction en- gine being used in the repair of the roads and ran away.

Che meeting adjourned to meet. again on Tuesday October 7th. Those who use Church Street to travel to and from the city wonder very much it the Township Council of Etobicoke are aware of the mess that the hill from Christie's bridge is in. Surfely they cannot know about it or they would see that something was done to make it decent for those who travel over it. Saturday night there was at least two inches of mud on the bridge caused by the-water from the springs in the middle of the roadway running down to and standing on the bridge. Not very nice tor white shoes. The executive of the above associa- tion met in the Sunday School Assoc., 299 Queen Street West, Toronto. In the unavoidable absence of Mr. J. T. Stewart, Mr, Eh W.

Since its organization some months ago this Association has done good work along the line of promot- ing a spirit of progress and sociability among the inhabitants of this thriv- ing section. With so many new peo- ple coming in they find the work of keeping in touch with the needs of the residents a growing problem and trust for a bigger community spirit to mani- tesCitselt thereby keeping them bet- ter informed as to conditions and im- provements needed, their aim and ob- ject to provide better housing accom- modations, local improvements in the Way of lights, roadways, sidewalks and water facilities.

Lunch was served on the lawn, and after ex- tending a vote of thanks to the host and hostess for their kind hospitality, the merry party wended their way homeward. . Prof. Bell of Weston paid an official visit to Westmount'on Saturday last to judge the gardens, which had been entered for competition under the di- rection of the Westmount Improve- ment Association. All gardens enter- ,ed, also many' outside the competitors, were worthy ot special mention and reflected credit on the owners by their well trimmed and neat appearance. The quality and quantity of vegetables, the reward bt faithful and persistent cultivation, was first class. The first prize, a very handsome cup, donated by Mr. Davis, a former resident, was won by Mr. Livingston, the second, presented by Mr. George Roberts, went to Mr. Finch, Mr. Dunning being awarded third place. A small fire broke out at Mr. Bent- ley's about 2 o'clock last Friday after- noon. With the ', efficient help of neighbors and the"btaciret' equipment of the \Vestmount Fire Brigade, the flames were soon under control.

Dennis; also to obtain better telephone service and efficient medical inspection tor the district. There is no doubt that be- tore this appears in print the various deputations that were appointed have carried out their work and good re- sults is expected. It is also felt that if the different ratepayers' associa- tions would only work hand in hind with the Board of Trade that good work could be done and great results accomplished. Mthennis Board of Trade _ This' body is becoming very active in its work for the interests and bene- tit of this district. Depuations were appointed to wait upon the York Township Council to draw their attention to the lack of facilities in the township for the pay- ment of taxes and that in the inten- ests ot the business ot this district the Council be asked to provide for the collection of taxes through the local bank and that arrangements be made to pay the taxes in two instalments.

I3oddingrton, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter E. Boddington, of Dun- dus Street east. The bride were a gown of white duchess satin with tulle veil taught with orange blos- soms and pearls. She carried white roses and wore the gift of the groom, a, gold wrist watch. Miss Laura Hearn attended her sister in pale pink roses. Miss Dorothy Boddington, sister of the groom, as flower girl, was in white silk \vith pink ribbons and carried pink and white carnations. Mr. Gor- don Boddington, brotherof the groom, was best man. Thepwoom'is gift to the bridesmaid was at turquoise ring, to the flower girl a pearl and tyloodstope ring, and to the best man a pearl tie pin. Miss Olive-Graigner, of Toronto, played the wedding march, and Mrs. AlyVe Woodcroft, cousin of the groom, sang "Until" during the signing of the register. The bride's mother wore blue satin, and the groom's mother was in black silk. After the wedding break- fast the happy couple left for Buffalo and Niagara Falls, the bride travelling in a, dark blue-dress and Milan hat trimmed with pink-plumes and georg- ette. On their return they will reside at 197 Albany Avenue. , Httlfyttrd---Cortnen The marriage was solemnized at the. home of Mr. and Mrs. H. A, Con- nell. Hogarth Avenue, of their second daughter, Susie Wilma, to Rev, Levi Halfyard. ll. A., of Newfoundland. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. IV. N. Chantler, uncle of the bride, assist- pd by the Rev. R. J. D. Simpson. The bride entered the room to the strains of the Wedding March, played by her sister. Aer gown was ot white silk crepe de chine, veiled with Georgette crepe, with pearls and crystal trim- mings. She wore a tulle veil arrang- ed in pretty cap effect, with a crown or orange blossoms, and carried a large bouquet of bridal roses. Little Miss Holborn was flower girl.

Later the happy couple left on a boat trip to the Thousand Islands and Montreal. The bride' travelled in a navy blue serge suit, with white hat and“ gloves. On their return Mr. and Mrs. Halfyard will go almost immediately to Thorn- Joe, where they will make their home. Boih1intgton--Hearn A very pretty wedding was solem- nized at the home of the bride's pa- rents by the Rev. Dr. Long when Mary Olive, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Hearn, ot Harding Avenue, NN estond was married to Mr. Walter Want Footpath Restored Restoration of the footpath along the Toronto-Hamilton Highway be- tween Long Branch Park and the Etobicoke river was the chief matter that came up for discussion at the regular monthly meeting of the Long Branch Ratepayers' Association'held in Long Branch School last night. The ratepayers' feel that is is up to the commission, which is now offering to rebuild the same at a cost of $1600, sharing one-half the, expense, to foot the entire bill tor a new walk. Serious inconvenience has been caus- ed to citizens residing in the district. The only acéess for pedestrian traffic is on the highway. On the south side is a ditch while the north is a, Wilder... ness of weeds. Thus, no alternative is offered to render them immune from the dangers ot the heavy motor trat- tic. It was decided to forward a copy of the communication trom the com- mission, containing the offer to the Etobicoke Township Council, advis- ing them that the association is not in favor nor do they propose to enter; tain the proposition, at the same time asking that the ratepayers of the dis- trict be protected from having any costs incurred. The, section is a dan- gerous one and near the school, so that it is not safe for children to walk on the highway. One of the members said: "The commission wants us to cut out walking as a means of locomotion altogether and stay home." This path was encroached upon by the commission when building the highway. Had the Toronto and York' Radial short switch been moved to the north side, the usurping of the 'path would not have taken place. However, the switch was allowed to remain in its former position, neces- sitating the encroachment in order to obtain the twenty-four-foot cement roadway. The question of endeavoring to have the lights removed from the north to the south side ot the highway was left for further consideration and ac- tion. The removal of certain trees at; Stop 26 obstructing the vision from the side roadway ot those in ap- proaching cars was also gone into. Ef- forts will be made to have this carried Hut. . _ _ F- - - - r Erection of several shelters in Long Branch along the radial is being asked of the company, as well as special fares for residents for all hours of the day. Under the present passenger tariff it costs as much to go short dis- tances as-it does through to the city. magisterial carpet on Tuesday next for negligence, in failing to secure their dog licenses within the time limit. It appears that some confusion has arisen from the method used in col.. lection. Many understood a. collector was to be specially provided for this purpose. Under a new by-law this system was dispensed with, hence the misunderstanding. Now they are call... ed upon to tell this to the court, or the canines will be under the painful necessity of looking for a; new board- ing house. Dog License Mix-up Twenty-seven Long Branch citizens are summoned to appear on the Long Branch residents are com- plaining of sickness believed to be caused by water. Both children and adults appear to be affected. The authorities at the instigation of the ratepayers' association, are being asked to have an analysis of the well water. Samples are to be sent to the township health officer at once. The regular monthly meeting of the Thistletown Women's Institute will be held at the home of Mrs. Baldock on Wednesday, July 23rd, instead of the regular date, July 18th. The members and friends are requested to note change. A good program will be provided and an enjoyable social gathering is looked forward to. A cordial invitation is given to the Ia.. dies of the community.
