No. 5 for the council to issue debentures for $30,â€" 000.00 to erect a school was received from the trustees of the section along with the â€"minutes of the meeting and the motions passed. The following motions were passed by the council after full. discussion had taken place upon each one of them, Re Bloor St. W. Improvement Asâ€" sociation ; A large deputatich headed by J. A,. T. McPherson, presigent of the Assoâ€" ciation, and signed by 87 residents ‘of Islington, asking that the Council will pass a resolution approving of the diâ€" version of the Provincial Highway at Islington from Dundas St. to Bloor Petitions for a new sidewalk on Scarlett Road from the present walk to the Dixon Road be built. K7G. After listening to Messrs. McPherâ€" gon,@J. E. L Streight, Mr. Johnston and others who spoke in favor of the diversion, it was carried, The regular meeting of the Etobiâ€" coke Council was held Saturday afâ€" ternoon at the Long Branch school. This is the result of the request from the ratepayers of the di§trict for the council to. hold one of their meetings in the district. The meeting was well attended and many of the ratepayers were on hand to just to see what the council did. It is not convenient for these men who have business interests to attend the afternoon sessions held at Islington through the week,. Many questions of the district were spoken of and the council were toldâ€"just what some of the ratepayers in the district thought about them. This was exâ€" pressed when the question of grading acroad was spoken of. .The residents stated that the council had ‘better get busy and fix it Never mind saying how bad it is and that it does require fixing, but do it is their plan. Whereas the Government «of Onâ€" tario has inaugurated a system of Provincial Public Highways connectâ€" ing up the principal cities and towns of the province, and whereas the Minâ€" ister of Public Works ‘has instructed that Dundas St. between Toronto and system, and whereas the distance on Dundas St. from its infersection with Bloor St. in Etobicoke to its interse‘c-\ tion with Bloor St. in Toronto is about one and one half miles longer than the direct route over Bloor St. beâ€" tween the same points, making a savâ€" ing of three miles in the round trip, besides the grades being much heaâ€" vier and more frequent on Dunda St.; and further that Bloor St. for j‘ greater partâ€"of the way is already wiâ€" dened to from 100 to 86 ft. in width and mo doubt the. property owners who have not already given their porâ€" tion for Widening will be quite willâ€" ing to do so. Whereas Dundas St. is only 66 ft. in width or less, and whereâ€" ] as Dundas St. and the Toronto |and Hamilton Highway on the Lake Shorel are at present the only through westâ€". erly highways with entrance to the | city oOF Toronto. Over both of which} there is.at present a very heavy trafâ€" | fic, which is rapidly increasing and which if not supplemented infthe near ETOBICOKE COUNCIL ARE DOING BIG THINGS .

The place is the flats at the Etobicoke creek. ~This will be looked It was also suggested that expert advice be secured in regard to the drainage of the park and the district. It was pointed out that at the presâ€" ent time there were men who had the knowledge and ability who would gladly give the advice if asked. There is a natural situation that could be utilized now with little expenditure. If. however, the time is allowed to Thé question of the proposed water supply did not meet with the approvâ€" al of all. It was thought that the council were trying to railroad someâ€" thing through. | This was not the case and the whole district will have an opâ€" portunity to discuss the plan and sitâ€" wation. Water supply is needed and something has to be done. The ratepayers. from Long Branch wanted the crossings on the highway at Stop 27 and in that section made to conform with the streets. At the present time the opening is such that it is dangerous. They: thought that this ought to be done by the Highâ€" way Commission, and that the council ought to bring it before their notice. It was suggested that the council should do the work. The faet that the council hdve no power to do work on this road was overlooked by some of those present. The council will see what can be done in the matter, A request was made that the council arrange for the collection of all tin cans and rubbish in the district. It was pointed out that at the present time there were loads of tin cans about. They cannot be buried on the lots or soon the lots will be nothing but tin can dumps,. It was decided that the work would be done and the district pay for it.. The sanitary inâ€" spector will look after this. future by at least another entrance, the tremendous traffic which is sure to develop will be a menace to pubâ€" lic safety on these highways. Whereâ€" as if Bloor St. were included in the Provincial System, it would give a third and much shorter, easier and more roomy entrance from the west into Toronto, and its future business centre, as well as the shortest and most direct route between the cities of Toronto and Hamilton, and be the principal link in the proposed Windâ€" sor to Montreal highway. Therefore be it resolved that the council of the Municipality of Etobicoke hereby heartily endorses the movement to inâ€" clude the section of Bloor St. from where it intersects Dundas St. west of Islington village to the westerly limâ€", its of the city of Toronto in the Proâ€" vincial System of, highways, and would humbly pray that the governâ€" ment and legislature of the Province of Ontario would give favorable conâ€" sideration to any petition or applicaâ€" tionh to the same. Carried. . Toronto Fireworks Co. asked about restrictions in the Township. They have intentions of locating and wantâ€" ed to find out if there were any reâ€" strictions. The council informed them that there were none. Mr. James, the township engineer, arrived a little late and gave his reâ€" port upon the proposed water plans. His suggestions were as follows: 4 Million Gallon Supply He suggested that a system capaâ€" ble of supplying a million gallons in twentyâ€"four hours be installed, alâ€" though the present consumption \would probably be over 50,000 _ galâ€" lons in that time. His report, which includes the park, was made in 1917, suggested a water tank in the district to secure sufficient pressure, but as New Toronto (where it @is proposed to secure the water) has since that time decided to put down 16â€"inch mains with new pumps, this will be eliminated. * Under the 1917 report the cost would be $36,000. In the proposed scheme there would be 20,300 lineal feet frontage. The chargeable. cost equals©$17,700, leaving an estimated cost of $18,300 to be borne as a capital charge on the whole area. Phones 170, 382 a EC & The local improvement tax of 85 cents per foot frontage when spread over 20 yearly payments, with inâ€" terest at 5 per cent., equals 6.8 cents per year per foot, orâ€"for a 50â€"foot lot $8.40 a year. 7 The assessment of the area ise apâ€" proximately $500,000.. To carry the capital charge of $18,300 . would reâ€" quire a tax of $14G4 yearly, or a mill rate of 2.9. Engineer . James estimates that a 50â€"foot lot assessed t $500 would have a yearly tax rate of : Local improvement, $3.40, plus $1.45 capital charge, making a total of $4.85. â€" & ; Water, would be. supplied by two mains, one from Birmingham Street, and the other through the asylum property from the station. No proâ€" yistion is fmade . in the, report for sewers. The water would be~â€"meterâ€" ed into the houses. â€" A. meeting will be held in the Lambâ€" ton School on Friday evening, April 23rd, for the purpose of going into the details of the whole plan. The great importance of the maitter has been brought to the attention of. the citizens during the past winter as never before. It is nearly necessary now that some provisions be made at once for a permanent supply of waâ€" ter. It is the duty of everyone inâ€" terested to be present and express their views, if they have any, or learn of what the plan is.
