The origin of the Town of Weston is found in a little hamlet, the major portion of which was situated on the west side of Humber River. In 1838 there were two saw mills, a cooper shop, four small houses and a hotel on the eastern side, while the western side boasted a church and parsonage, two small houses, a grist and saw mill, a public house and distillery. The . people forming this community gathâ€" ered there for the purpose of serving those who had settled on the land, and were engaged in farming. It formed a social centre for the surâ€" _ yTounding district, and we can well imâ€" agine the joyous times experienced by theâ€"village folk as they and their friends from the outlying farms cast aside the cares and responsibilities of the pioneer life as they tripped. through the intricate measures of thc‘ old time dances. The town has always been greatly interested in educational matters. It is a matter of great pride to recall that here wasâ€"established the present Trinâ€" ity School, now at Port Hope, from which school many outstanding men, including Sir William Osler, the great Oxonian, have graduated. The old Weston Grammar School, established in 1857, in one corner ofthe basement Industry was early attracted to the community, In 1815 James Farr built a flour mill, which was taken over in 1828 by Messrs. C. and W. Wadsworth. Other flour mills established themâ€" selves along the Humber River, from which water power was utilized to operate these mills. Then for a numâ€" ber of years there was located at Wesâ€" ton what was then the second largest woollen mill in the Dominion. Toâ€"day, Weston has a number of large and important industries, including Mofâ€" fats Limited, makers‘ of the well known Moffat: Electric Ranges; the Canada Cycle and Motor â€" Company Limited, the makers of the famous C. C.M., skates and bicycles; the Satin Finish Hardwood Flooring Company Limited, the head office of this inâ€" dustry. being located in Weston. In addition there are the factories of the Carl Austin Company, manufacturers of French Ivory Products; The Banâ€" croft Cast Stone Company; the Weston Seed Co.; and a sash and door plant; and also a waggon factory with a fairâ€" ly large local output. | \In 1881, this little community beâ€" came a corporate, entity, and the Vilâ€" l%%e of Weston was incorporated.: In 1882 the first Council was clected, the membership . being: _ Wim. . Tyrell, Reeve; Messrs. J. Bull, D. Rowntree, J.. Conron and Mr. Sykes, Councillors. It is evident that the man who served in office in the Village of Weston enâ€" joyed the esteem and confidence of their‘ fellow residents, for we find that Wim. Tyrell soccupied the position of Reever for two terms, of five and three years respectively; Dr. W. J. Charlton was Reeve for five years; T. Wadsworth for three:.years, yand }J. Bull in the years 1890, ‘93, ‘904, ‘05, and ‘906 and a further term of office during the years 1903â€"06. In 1914, the niunicipality was raised to the status fim a town, the population new being 4200, having practically doubled itself in the intervening fourteen years since becoming â€"a town. The advantageous location of, the hamlet â€" of . Weston, induced other people to settle there, and with the growth of population, we find in 1843 a post office established on the York side and a plank road built, in the face of opposition from the property owners on the Etobicoke side. ‘"Muddy York," was the great market of those days, and it must have been a picturâ€" esque and interesting ~sight to see those: hardy pioneers, ~driving their teams along this plank road, bearing the »products=of their farms to the market. P sc The object of this article is to preâ€" sent to the people of Weston, in some detail, the historical facts connected with the growth of the town. It is well, at times, to review the past, not with the purpose of indulging in vain regrets, but, with the aim and object of learning from past experiences, that we may apply the lessons learned, to the present and to the future. So, it is well for the people of the modern and grogressive Town of Weston, to consider the origins of the town, and the factors which made it the busy town it is today.

ER 18 Under the auspices of the Women‘s Mission Circle of the Baptist Church, a very successful musical concert was given in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening of last week by the choir of First Ave. Baptist Church, Toronto. There was a full house present to hear the splendid numbers rendered by the choir of fifty voices under the leadership of Mr. W. Holland Pettib, and that their efforts were fully apâ€" preciated by the audience was evidencâ€" ed by the hearty rounds of applause which greeted each number; It was a rare musical treat for the music lovers of the Town, as. this choir is conceded one of the foremost places in the Churches of the city, In this article we have sketched the past and present, and dipped into the future of the town of Weston. Its growth from a struggling hamlet to a modern and enterprising town is due to many causes; but one of the chief factors contributing to its suceess, was lthe sterlking worth, honesty and abilâ€" ity of those men who gave freely of ’their time, service and ability, at no small sacrifice, to theâ€"affairs of the community. ...

BAPTIST CH, W.M.5. HOLD FINE CONCERT The future of Weston is decidedly attractive. It is on the outskirts of the City of Toronto, for which city economists and statisticians of interâ€" national repute, predict great growth in the next ten years. As Toronto grows, a proportionate growth will be revealed in Weston. It possesses lowâ€" priced factory sites and can offer exâ€" cellent railway shipping facilities on two lines, and at Toronto Terminal freight rates, which is bound to atâ€" tract industries. The town will retain its suburban atmosphere, but great growth is in prospect and it should become a great industrial and residenâ€" tial centre. _ The progressive spirit of the town is shown in the fact that it was one of the first of the towns in Ontario to use Hydro. In 1911 it used only 100 horsepower, but toâ€"day it uses upward of 2500 horsepower, a striking indicaâ€" tion of the growth in population, inâ€" dustry and prosperity. The rates for residence and commercial current are the lowest in the Province, and it has an ample supply of power for any exâ€" pan§ionn which may take place. _ Thus, considered from every aspect ’ Weston is forging steadily ahead. It _possesses many miles of asphalt paveâ€" ment, concrete sidewalks, a municipalâ€" ly owned waterworks and sewage disâ€" posal plant. It is served by a street railway with a tenâ€"minute service, which is connected with and operated by the Toronto Transportation Comâ€" mission, affording direct and speedy connection with all parts of the City of, Toronto. The Canadian National and‘ the Canadian Pacific Railways oilâ€"elecâ€" tric and steam train systems, give exâ€" cellent service and afford to anyone who is employed in Toronto, a rapid means of transportation to and from his employment. The town is noted for its ardent inâ€" terest in athletics, the name of Wesâ€" ton in the lacrosse world being a name to conjure with. It is the centre of three prominent gold clubs, with other courses close at hand. of the Methodist Church, was the foreâ€" runner of the present â€" commodious High School, which has an attendance of upwards of 900 day and night puâ€" pils, and a staff of 32 teachers. Two public schools accomodate over 700 pupils, with a staff of 20 teachers. e Cimrs & Guths. At the meeting of the directors of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Asâ€" sociation held in Ottawa last week, the city of London was chosen for the next Annual Convention which is to take place this summer â€" in ~ the month of July, £ w t °C Street car conductors "stoked" nobly while passengers shivered in the chill, more intensified because of the taste of spring weather enjoyed the preceding day. Fur coats, goloshâ€" es and extra sweaters were hunted out from cupboards, where they had been stored in anticipation of an earâ€" ly spring, and were donned to combat the biting gale and flying snow. The pedestrian breasting the wind suffered from the onslaught of the gale, which whirled the snowfall into a veritable blizzard. and penetrated even the warmest and heaviest apâ€" parel. _ â€" Housewives battled valiantly throughout the day to ‘"keep the home fires burning" sufficiently to maintain comfort. Offices and shops alike were chilled as the March wind crept into the cracks and cranies. Despite the fortyâ€"three mile an hour gale which swept the province last week, Toronto and suburbs escapâ€" ed without any serious damage apart from the blowing down of _ wooden signs and the snapping off of limbs and branches from the trees. It has been decided by the commitâ€" tee to hold a regatta on June 8th next on the proposed course. All the acâ€" quatic clubs will be invited to the reâ€" gatta which will be followed by a fete, dinner and fireworks at the Old Mill. At this gathering the project of the Humber course will be officially inâ€" augurated TORONTO ESCAPES PAMAGE FROM GALE The members of the committee were recently informed by Mr. E. L. Cousâ€" ins that the estimated cost of the work would be in the neighborhood of $400,â€" 000. The amount mentioned is rather more than was anticipated the work would entail, but confidence is exâ€" pressed that the completed work will, when in operation, be so productive as an attractive force that no diffiâ€" culty is anticipated in having the matter pushed through to a finish. It is understood from members of the proposed regatta course commitâ€" tee proposed to be constructed on the Humber River that they are going to make a really determined effort to haveâ€"the work in this connection comâ€" menced in the late fall of the present year, if at all possible.

"And then, we must have hard work. â€" Not one atom of success wa» ever gained in this world without hard work, and all our courage, and all our â€" characterâ€"building would_ not bring us success unless we combined it with good, earnest, productive work. And after all the hard work, we must be prepared to face "Suceess" with a spirit of sacrifice. We must make sacrifice after sacrifice for our felâ€" low man if we are to truly count first of all upon the fundamental truths of the living God." "In the second place," continued Canon Loucks, "Success depends on a spirit of courage. We must not only have the character but we must have the courage to carry on and overcome difficulties by sheer courage and force of will. And courage does not always mean to "do," but oftentimes it takes more courage not to do cerâ€" tain things. The speaker pointed out that character was the first element which goes to make success in life and hc dwelt at some length on the impor: tance of moulding our characters and and the characters of our children along the true lines.. He showed how experience was indeed a great teacher and that character was moulded in no better way than through experâ€" ience with life. ‘"‘There are four elements which combine to make success," said Canon Loucks, in launching into his subject, ‘"and each one of these four parts are quite as important as the other."

The Committee recommended the inâ€" troduction at this session by the Deâ€" partment of Agriculture of legislation which will require that all fowlâ€"truckâ€" ers be licensed, and, additionally, that they shall carry with them a bookâ€" check on all birds, showing where purâ€" chased and from whom, prices paid, and where consigned to.

INSTRUCTIVE TALK AT ROTARY CLUB Miss Olive Williams, an elocutionist from Toronto, captured the hearts of the audience by her interesting and amusing readings. Her selections were ’ delivered in a clear and well modulatâ€" ed tone, audible to every one in the audience, and her funmaking was irâ€" resistible. Miss Isabelle Chriselaw, who rendered several numbers, posâ€" _sesses a soprano voice of much purity and sweetness. A decided guccess was scored by Miss Audrey Cameron, conâ€" tralto, whose selections were beautiâ€" fully and appealingly rendered.

J. Warburton, a violinist, who graduated from the Conservatory of Music a few weeks ago. He handled all his pieces with ability, his last selection, "The Rosary" being excepâ€" tionally well done. Mr. Warburton inâ€" tends to open a studio in Weston in the near future, at the branch of the Conservatory of Music, and the town is indeed fortunate in having such a capable violinist locating here. Miss Margaret Richards acted as accompâ€" anist to all the artists. The Primary â€" Department of the Presbyterian Sunday School gave its annual concert on Wednesday evening last.. This was the third affair of its kind held under the auspices of this organization, and too much credit canâ€" not be given to Miss Jessie Wright and her capable assistants in preparâ€" ing and presenting to the music lovers of Weston, such a charming and colâ€" ourful programme. Presbyterian Church Hall Has Capacity Audience for Fine Musical Programme At the conclusion of the service, Rev. Mr. Forbes voiced the sentiments of all members in expressing their appreciation of Dr. Endicott‘s strong and stirring messages of the day. in India and Africa, and concluded this able address with a strong appeal to the people to undertake greater things in the missionary enterprise. As in the morning the choir was in fine form, and sang as an opening anâ€" them, "The Festival Hymn," by West. Mr. C. K.

Councillor Mallaby declared that he never had been in favour of the scheme as laid down, while admitting that the present sewers were not up to requirements he felt that further thought should be given to the matter and placed before the people again for their vote on a possible increased expenditure for a greater scheme. Councillor McLean expressed the thought that the Town would be betâ€" ter advised to consider dealing with the needs of certain sections and not enter into the one big scheme at once expressed conviction that the proposiâ€" tion for the lower end of the Town was wrong, and felt that the whole: work should be turneled rather than resort to cutting up the Main Street.‘ "Do just those two jobs that are really needed now," said Mr. McLean. Suggestion of Undercurrent Efforts Against Sewer Plans. Councillor Pollett reviewed the exâ€" periences of the past Council in reâ€" gard to complaints that had been re-' ceived over the sewer situation and A report of progress was tendered by Chairman Mallaby of the Transâ€" portation Committee. In regard to the application of the St. Albans Legion Post members Councillor Ella tenderâ€" ed a report which was endorsed by Council. Third Reading of Sewer Byâ€"law Is Proposed. Reeve Farr then moved that the third reading of Sewer Byâ€"law be takâ€" ’en, to which inception was recorded in a spirit address by Councillor Evâ€" ans, in the course of which he conâ€" demned the foresight of previous Councils saw the same course being followed by the not too careful conâ€" sideration of this scheme by the preâ€" sent Council with trouble to follow in the future. He saw no reason why we should make provision to drain parts of North York, to protect our own area from floods, and declared that a further consideration should be given with the possible creation of a bigger and more expensive scheme to provide for all time, as he touched on the apparent inadequate provision for the north and south and east end growths of the Town. 1 _ The difference in the amount of the grant asked for was indicated in salary increases, to which Mayor Coulter intimated that no_ change could reasonably be made in this resâ€" pect, though he did not like to see the amount for book needs cut down, saw no other alternative. Eventually the resolution was approved with the Mayor, Reeve and Deputy Reeve and Councillor Pollett, McLean and Kelâ€" lam voting for the grant as read. Councillor Mallaby declared, "I do not think we should go beyond the law," and Councillor Evans spoke of taking chances with the peoples money, to. which Mayor Coulter responded, "In. that respect we will worry when the people worry us, the library is doing good and valuable work that is apâ€" preciated." _ It was explained that the legal alâ€" lowance was 50 cents per capita of population but Council may grant up to 75 cents. It transpired that the amount suggested amounted to a grant of 83 cents per head, when Councillor Evans declared_ Council should not go beyond the legal grant, to which Mayor Coulter intimated that the Town‘s library was serving a splendid need and was enjoying a unique record in the libraries of the province. Grant Some discussion took place in reâ€" gard to the application of the Library Board for a grant based on their.esâ€" timates for the year of $4,088, againâ€" st which they intimated they expectâ€" ed to receive to the extent of $300.00 from Government grants, less fines and the like. Deputy Reeve Webster submitted a resolution granting $3,â€" 500, Councillor Evans moved the matâ€" ter be laid over and asked for inforâ€" mation regarding the legal amount to â€"which the Board were entitled. tax, was $29,000, and in this connecâ€" tion Reeve Far went into a detailed expression of the manner in which the levy basis was arrived at for the varâ€" ious municipalities, for which thanks was tendered. Responding to a query of Councillor McLean as to whether there had been no equalization since 1914 Reeve Farr declared that there had not been though the matter was under review last year, and the majâ€" ority of the municipalities appeared satisfied with the situation as it stands. The report as received was filed for future reference. Exception Taken To Library Board The communication from the County Clerk intimating the amount of the Towns Assessment for the County Communications were received from the Municipal Road Oiling Company and filed, one from the Water Power and Light Commission relative to the purchase of a hydrant pump, which was referred to the Property Comâ€" mittee for their report at a future meeting. City Clerk Somers of the City of Toronto responding to a query of Clerk Musson intimated that the daylight saving dates in the City would be from Sunday the 28th, April to Sunday the 29th, September, this year. In the course of the session a resolution was approved that these dates be observed by the Town of Weston as effective in the district in accord with the past usage. The members of the Council of the Town of Weston held a somewhat warm session at their regular meetâ€" ing in the Town Hall on Monday evâ€" ening last, with all members being present presided over by Mayor A. Lorne Coulter. Clerk Harry G. Musâ€" son, Engineer F. Marshall and Soliâ€" citor Gray were present as also was exâ€"councillor F. W. Mertens of the local Board of Health.

The byâ€"law was passed, whereupon Councillor McLean rose to suggest that it behooved one and all to get behind the scheme and see to it that the work was carried out in a successful and proper manner as soon as possible. Resolutions were then presented and approved, calling for the preparation of the necessary specifications and the calling of tenders on the job, and also for the sinking of test holes to facilitate the work of estimating on the whole contract. 3 due yet? Renew it now! LOOK Concluding his address Mayor Conlâ€" ter said, "I have given this matter along with you very serious considerâ€" ation from all angles and see no other course but that we must proceed. I am certainly at present not favourâ€" able to the expenditure of any more than the people agreed to expend by their vote, the figure of $100,000." "Going into the matter with Mr. Redâ€" fern, I minced no words with him as I asked if with average growth the scheme as laid down would meet the needs of the Town for twenty or fifâ€" ty years." Mayor Assured Scheme Will Take Care of All Needs, Mr. Redfern, he declared, ‘was an eminent man in his profession, and we must take their word, that is what they are engaged for and he assured Mayor Coulter brought the discussâ€" ion to a close with an impassioned address in which he pointed out the needs for industrial settlement of the Town, as a measure towards the lightâ€" ening of the financial situation which could never be attained by residential settlement. Touched on the situation which was evident in York Township as a result of their foresight. He declared that the credit of the Town would not be impaired but improved by the confidence that would be reâ€" posed in the undertaking of such a beneficial work. Citizens Repose Confidence ~g In the Efforts of Council, $ Reeve Farr, regretted the personalâ€" ities, paid credit to the previous Counâ€" cil in doing what they had with the available funds. Declared the we must do in like manner and saw no hardship in prospect if the work went. on, and felt ‘the members would fall_ far short of the confidence that was repose in them by the citizens who had signified their needs in the passâ€". ing of the vote for sewers and the reforms it would bring.‘ _ _ Deputy Reeve Webster reviewed the building: of the present scheme and. told of the troubles of the then finanâ€" cial situation, which in like proportion was a contingency which faced this. Council. The matter had been fully. discussed and laid â€"before the people. who had voted on an expenditure of $100,000 to gain the reform of conditâ€"_ ions from which they had long enough. suffered. Touching on the future growth of the Town and the aims to. advertise for industrial settlement, deâ€" clared that all such work would be of little or. no avail if we could. not. provide them with a system of sewage disposal to meet their needs. Counâ€" cillor Kellam was definitely and in a. few short words in favour of the scheme going forward and declared he . Ivou_ld vote for the passage of the byâ€" Councillor Ella agreed that the preâ€" sent scheme was satisfactory and was. strongly opposed to pledging the Town to a further expense of $15,000 if the original amount of $100,000 would not do the desired work. At your label. Is your subscription Mayor Coulter quietly checked the members on the. matter of personalâ€" ities, Councillor Evans intimating, ‘"Those remarks should be addressed to the members at fault," with the Mayor responding, "I am addressing my remarks to Council, for the cap to fit those who may wear it." Councillor Evans took exception to the use of his name by the last speakâ€" er, declared he was not against spendâ€" ing the money, but maintained a beâ€". lief that the matter should have furâ€" ther thought. Councillor McLean also. spoke heated in regard to inferences. in regard to his opinion but declared he had his right to opinions and the. right to express them, as he saw fit as long as he had the right to sit on te Council.
