The Town Hall has indeed servéed this purpose well during ‘the past years. With the increased popuâ€" lation and the increased demands for floor space during the past few years, there has been hardly enough room. This year the .buildfng of our new garâ€" age with its large floor space has been very opportune for the Horticultural Fall Flower Show. Messrs. Graham & Barton, who own the garage, have kindly given the Horticultural Sociâ€" ety the use of the upstairs for the show this year. It is expected with this large space available that the Horticultural Exhibition this year will be one of great beauty. Last year this exhibition was held in connection with the Fall Fair. This year, on acâ€" count of the change in the rules of the Society, it will be held separately. Watch for the future announcements. You have noticed how great things have sbeen one in certain communiâ€" ties. You have seen centres take great strides and leap ahead; you . have passed through towns that attracted your attention because of its general appearances and equipment; you have expressed your admiration of the way your friends do things and the success that attains their efforts. Have you ‘eéver tried to build up your own town? Have you suggested that this ‘old town of ours could be made a greater centre, a more beautiful spot, a .developer of men and women, a leader of affairs in this section? Have you ever stopped to think how these things have been created? Have you analyzed the way that success came to these various centres? Well, the general result has been obtained by unity of purpose and coâ€"operation of action. We have the forces in our centre who are able to lead, we have the natural lqcation and equipment that can be utilized, we have everyâ€" thing at hand, but we do want a cenâ€" tral organization to direct all our efâ€" forts The community plan t,hfix has been spoken of by some of our leadâ€" ers is working splendidly in many centres. This body takes hold and controls the whole of the town‘s acâ€" tivities along the social and local i1.:â€" provement lines.] They look afiter the interests of the town in beautifying the same. They develop a real comâ€" munity spirit through musical, athâ€" letic, oratory and other community enterprizes. . They make efforts to build the necessary equipment for the various enterprizes from the proceeds acquired through their efforts. Thus the centre is given a force that will mot raise the tax rate, but will make the town a more attractive centre to live in. If this interests you, there is more information to be had along this line. Weston Intermediates andâ€"Juniors have a great chance to win out in their districts this year; It now ‘looks as if the local jumor team will go. through the ‘district without a defeat. Those who ‘KHave seen the boys play and are experts on the game predict great things for‘ the locals.. They are being looked upon as possible finalists this year.~ The brand of lacrosse that they are playingâ€"is one that gets goals and ‘also: keeps the other.felâ€" low fromâ€" getting them. With a strong coach there is no doubt but that this team will bring home the O.A_L.A. championship. Is it. worth the exâ€" pense? â€"It will be one of <the very best piecés ‘of advertising that this old town ever did." ie â€" The removal\ of the old driving shed of the Methodist Church and the house from Main Street to the south east corner of the lot has changed the general appearances of the street.> This change is one for the better and will give the street a much improved and more upâ€"toâ€"date apâ€" pearance to those who pass through ‘our town. The trustee board, . who have control of the affairs of the church, are to be congratulated upon their work around the church and the corner this year. Not only have these buildings been removed to a less conspicuous position, but ‘ they have cleared up the: old . burying grounds and permitted the rounding of a dangerous corner.. All these efâ€" forts are along the line of general imâ€" provement for the whole town.

Tag Day to be held August 9th was left in the hands of the Ladies‘ Auxâ€" iliary.

Cole‘s application for membership was accepted and Mesâ€" srs. W. J. Davies and W. McLean made honorary members, This is the time of the year that people are looking with. considerabic expectation for the striking of the ta~ rates. Some of the adjoining municiâ€" palities have struck their rates and there has been an increase. The town of Mimico has jumped from 35 mills to 47 mills this year. New Toronto is also very â€" high. Newâ€" market have been able to reduce their rates for the year to 35 mills. What will Weston rate be? It is generally known that Board requirement wili be considerably higher this year than last. This is due to the increased staff and cost of supplies, When one thinks of the present prices of coal and the price last year you can underâ€" stand that there is some item of exâ€" pense. Last year coal tost about $7 per ton, this year it is over $15.00 and it takes about 300 tons for the three schools. As one thinks of the new staff required you must remember that it takes money to keep these schools going. One can therefore look for an increase in the school esâ€" timates for the year. There has been no very great or heavy expenditures by the town during the year . and doubtless the rate will remain about the same as it was last year. This should give us a general rate for the whole thing about ihat of last year‘s, It will be a fine thing for our town if this can be done. Art the present time there is no place that can offer more in the way of inducements «o any perâ€" son who is seekingia home than Wesâ€" ton. Our situation, our educational institutions, our churches, our transâ€" portation, people, all make Weston an ideal, location . for . those making homes. Let the rate be as low as it can, but let us meet all our expenses as they should be and keep a clear sheet.â€" Miss Langstaff, ‘of.

There was a real hope raised in the minds of the citiâ€" zens of Weston that our road was to receive attention when the contracâ€" tors started to rip it up. This, howâ€" ever, was soon dissolved. â€"It was discovered that the contractor hau made a mistake. It was further statâ€" ed that the present contract is only for the road as far as Buttonwood Ave. This certainly does not help out the town of. Weston very much. It has_been shown in these columns that many persons have been turned away from Weston because of the condiâ€" tion of the road between here and the Clty. The fact is generally known among. those who use the roads that this is one of the roads that persons use ‘only when they have too. It is therefore evident that some attenâ€" tion should be given to this road. Why is it that they will repair one part and then at some later time repair the other section? Are the commission not willing to give Weston\ a fair show? The town of Weston fifif:,ys into the County treasury one of. the largâ€"= ests amounts for the size and popula,\ tion. In fact our town' is paying some $13,000.00 into the county. With this contribution we should surely get some attention. The road should be repaired at onee from â€" Buttonwogd Ave. to the old track put down by the Suburban road. This whole section needs to be resurfaced and treated in the same way as they are doing that part to the Black Creek hiil. This does seem to stand up and is Siving satisfaction. The road traffic has beâ€" come very heavy and will become heavier. |It is therefore the duty or the commission to give this town a road that will stand up and last. The roads are all being fixed up between here and the city. Weston should make a special point to see that they are getting what is their due on this road. 3 wWESTON MASONIC BRETHREN ATTEND ANNUAL CONVENTIO? M.W. Bro. F. W.

Their school tax will be 14.4 mills while the general tax is 1716; & * Mimico have found it necessary to raise their mill rate to 47. Lasfyear‘s rate was 35 mills. The big increase is dueâ€"to the heavy expenses of the new school and the large amount of conâ€" struction work done. on sewers, water mains, roads and <sidewalks in . the municipality.The big paymentâ€"on, the Toronto Hamilton Highway is another big item that has caused the increase.
