Messrs. K. McKitterick and J. Alâ€" [ lan petitioned the Council for a permit ! to erect and operate a moving picâ€" | ture.. This was granted provided their plans, specifications and location were | accepted by the committee. . No action { was taken on the purchase of the Rowntree Grove for park purposes. [The Clerk _ reported building permits 1 issued up to date this year amounting | to $43,000, Df¢. Irwin asked for perâ€" \ mission to open up a new subâ€"division | in Rectory Road section. The followâ€" ing resolutions were passed and adoptâ€" ed : That the plan as submitted by Dr. Irwin be approved subject to the road being 66 feet all the way through and the Mayor and Clerk instructed to sign the same. That the Clerk be and he is hereby instructed to write to the Secretary Of the Board of Education requesting that the Board give a strip of land 33 feet in width along the south of their property for the extension of Jolhn Street on condition ‘that the southerly one foot of the 33 feet strip be vested in the Town of Weston unâ€" til the street is widened to 66 feet by obtaining another 33 foot strip adâ€" joining the south. 7 That the following members of the Council be and they are hereby named as a committee to meet as a Court of Revision on May 31st, at 8 o‘clock: Mayor Gardhouse, Councillors Sainsâ€" bury, Monkman, Harris and Wright. At the reguiar meeting of the Wesâ€" ton School Board held on Friday night, there was a lot of small detail cleared up by the Board_.and it took a long time to get everything in order. The Board decided that they would take over the financing of the new floor in the basement. It was felt that if the citizens of the town paid for it, it would be rather out of the Board‘s hands to control the. room. This was indeed the right course.to pursue.‘ Routine business occupied the most of the meeting. 7 That Mayor Gardhouse, Councillors Wright and Harris be and they are apâ€" pointed a committee to wait on the Suburban Street Railway Co., re passâ€" engers leaving street cars. That the Clerk be instructed to ask for tenders re insurance of firemen of Weston from agents representing our town and that said tenders be opened May 15th at 1.30 p.m. That the plan as submitted by Freeâ€" man & Moss, re parts of block regular plan 1211, be approved and the Mayor and Clerk sign the same. Resolved that the request of Wm. Terrill for 50 cents per hour and 50 cents per foot for laterals be granted and that the seal of the Corporation be attached to this resolution. At the present time thereâ€"are severâ€" allowed 1 al tennis courts on the go and som® tags on. clubs. Would it not be a help to the see that â€" game if there was arranged a little in force, league or a series of games with the | of these different clubs. . Tennis is one of the pe misse games that is toâ€"day becoming very | popular. It gives one the opportunity | f of securing so much helpful exercise | 2 and development. It is beneficial to the ladies as well as to the men. This‘ . Friday game should be given a good start off of S.0.E. in this town. See if the tennis players | at 8 p.m cannot get together and make the same full of interest. | Monda WHAT ABOUT A TENNEIS LEAGUE? COXHEADâ€"CAMPBELLâ€"On â€" Wed MAYâ€"On Tuesday, May 11th, 1920,! .

WESTON AGRICULTURAL A. meeting of the Weston, YÂ¥ork and Etobicoke Agricultural Board . was held on Saturday night last with a well represented directorate. President Macklin occupied the\ chair. Among the items of business coming up for discussion was the advisability . of moving the large building at present used for general exhibits down to the lower end of the grounds and utilizâ€" ing it for stabling live stock. Many of the stock exhibitors complain of no housing accommodation for the stock and object to bringing prize animals to the fair if the weather is inclemâ€" ent. Also the building is unsightly, situated as it is at the entrance and interferes with the beautifying of grounds and the making of a town park entrance. Messrs.. Macklin, Monkman and Harris were appointed a committee and empowered to proâ€" ceed with the work.. Before taking further steps the committee have deâ€" cided to find out details as to cost, etc., of removal and call another meetâ€" ing of the Board. A resolution of commendation on the proposed purâ€" chase of the Rowntree Grove for the enlargement of the park was passed. It was expected that Mr. Eckhardt, of Tdronto, would have been present in reference to the ~disposal. of the Eckhardt stock held by \ the Fair Board. .A message received from him late in the afternoon advised the President that he would not be able to meet with them, but asked for a later date to be named when he would come out and address the, meeting on the matter. This will be done and a date arranged and announced later. No. of members added during the month 29; total number on roll 1383.

After the first day of May it is genâ€" erally supposed that dogs kept in the town should be tagged. If you take the time you .will note that very few of them,show any signs of a tag. Many of the dogs kept about the town toâ€"day are _ moreâ€"er Tess [pets. . Still there are a number: of dogs at large that are nuisances. Think of the manner in which they race up and down the road after the cars. Think of the danger they are~to these cars. Think of the number that are cross and ready to bite those who pass by. This is serious. . Still these idogs are allowed to proceed and they have no tags on. It is up to our officials to see that the Ia_\‘ir in this respect is put in force, as it may . eliminate many of these dogs. They surely will not be missed in many cases.

Â¥Your homes have been all cleaned from top to bottom. This is indeed a good thing and one that has been observed as a regular season‘s work. (If it is good for.the individual home that its members should make a special effort to clean up everything in the springtime, would it not also be the right thing for the whole town ? Nothing is so destructive to a town as to have its streets littered ‘with paâ€" per, tins, bits of. wood, trees and Wweeds of all kinds on the vacant lots. This condition gives the impression that such a place is not the place for one who likes to locate in a clean and beautiful place. It does not attract. Recall how often when you have been visiting that you have judged the perâ€" son or the community or the section by the appearance of the streets, surâ€" roundings or homes. . YÂ¥ou invariably form your judgment by the things that you see. If the town has clean, wellâ€" kept streets, roads,. sidewalks and crossings in good repair; lawns nicely trimmed, stores well painted, homes in fine condition.. Then you are attractâ€" ed by that town. Â¥You feel there is one place you would like to reside in. If things come your way you will loâ€" cate there. Weston has the opportunâ€" ity of making just such a town., Natâ€" urally we are. so situated here that the whole environment lends itself to just such a purpose of making an ideal place for homes and also indusâ€" tries. This fact has been recognized by landscape men and by men who are looking for the beautiful, Visions have been presented to the public by these men. They are more than visions, they are realities. It is, however, neâ€" cessary in the carrying out of this great scheme that the town people coâ€" operate in general. What good is it if we have trees planted and flower beds made, if the rest of the town is not cleaned up.. One of the first things that should be done right now is the organization of a general clean up day for the whole town. What little has been done in the past years paves the way for bigger things this year. Will you do your share? See that. your place is made to look as good as possible. It takes time, but it pays. Make Weston the home of. beauty. & Athletics in Weston are going ahead at a great rate. This is, however, due to the great work that has been startâ€" ed by the industrial workers. One of the many factors in this work is the boys‘ energetic secretary of‘ the West End Y.M.C.A., Mr. Braden,. His work and the other work among the difâ€" ferent plants has resulted in the presâ€" ent efforts. On Saturday there was a grand opening of the new athletic field at the C. C. M.. grounds. The large field to the east of the works where the gardens were has all been levelled ‘off, rolled, and a splendid football pitch and baseball diamond has been made. The open games playâ€" ed on Saturday were not victories for the home team, but still they showed what the boys were made of. The fast junior team tied the Overland juniors and gave them a merry battle. This little junior team‘ has some good players, who are willing to go the limit. Watch their scores, and with a ‘ little more experience they will be a . hard team to beat. The seniors were‘ not so good, but with training they. will be heard from. Both games were well attended. The bringing of these games to Weston means a revival of sports in theâ€"old town. It will now be possible for one to see good athletics. here of a Saturday. It is wonderful what the different companies are now doing for their employees along this line. On consultation with the heads of some of the big concerns, it would appear that they are well pleased with the experiment. â€" They all speak of the great spirit that it creates among their employees and the better interest that is generally taken by the men and women. C. C. M., unc'ler the direction ‘of Mr. Gibson, has always been one of the prime movers in this work. The workâ€"takes in all branches of athletic sports for girls, boys, women and men. Departmental leagues are formed and industrial leagues that have the facâ€" tory or plant representative teams. Inâ€" door baseball _ schedule opens, next week and then the baseball. Watch for the programmes and attend the games. : 3 GRENFELL MISSION The piano recital by ten pupils of Miss Margaret® R.\Gillette in aid of Dr. Grenfell Labrador Mission, Weston Branch, Jast Thursday evening, May 6th, in the Town Hall was most sucâ€" cessful. The artistic little programme was carried through without a break, the playing of the young performers being characterized throughout by a lovely quality of tone and great exâ€" pression, while time and technique were truly admirable. _ The audience was slarge and enthusiastic. The amount realized for the Mission, after all expenses were paid, was $54.50. A pretty incident during the evening was the presentation to Miss Gillette by her pupils of a lovely bouquet of exquisite flowers. Total receipts $64.â€" 25, expenses $9.75; balance $54.50. The assessment books areout and ready for all the ratepayers inspection. Have you looked it over? It is just about the same as last year. Some. of the houses have been increased, while others have had a slight reducâ€" tion. . On the whole our tgtal assessâ€" ment is a little more than last year. The places are not allyet assessed upon an equal basis, but those who have to .do. with these matters seem: to think that the assessment: generally is welcome.
