A communication was received from Solicitor F. A. Silverman on behalf efs®i client of his, Mr. C. Fudge, comâ€" plaining of the fact that a pile of earth had been left on his property following on the closure of the cut made for the sewer excavation, and that the sidewalk had been left in a dangerous state. It was pointed out that the cut in this case was actually on Town property, and further that it was desirable to leave a certain amount of earth over an excavation to allow of sinkage, which would take place, otherwise added expense would be created at a later date to fill up what would become a hole. Engineer Marshall intimated that some work in connection with clearing the motor driveway was done on the premises. The CGletk was instructed to notify the claimant on the situation in accord with the information disclosed, pointâ€" ing out that there was a clearance of six feet back from the cut to the claimants property line, of which it was felt he was not possibly aware. The matter of the renewal of the mortgage on the Community Gardens Property which was taken up by Mr. Mayor Welcomes Descendant Of Pioneer Family Of Weston In the course of the session an inâ€" reresting and historical proceeding ir_as featured when Mayor Coulter tenâ€" W. H. Loose on behalf of the Hortiâ€" cultural Society was referred to the Finance Committee for their attentâ€" ion. Mayor _ Welcomes Descendant Of Relative to the call for tenders for the excavation necessary for the conâ€" struction of a new sludge bed at the disposal plant Engineer Marshall in timated that there were no tenders received from any of the local firms for the work though they had been notified. But one tender was received that of Messrs. Worthington and Comâ€" pany, of Toronto, . and they were awarded the contract at a figure of $500.00, which was in accord with the estimate made by the engineer for the work. This contract will be proceeded with at an early date. § It was finally agreed that some reâ€" vision of the street byâ€"law should be made to accord with the proposed deâ€" sires in the matter of the reâ€"conâ€" struction. In the course of the disâ€" cussion Councillor McLean sought inâ€" formation as to how it was possible forga building byâ€"law to be opsrative gi)%lose to the railroad, Deputy . Reeve Webster pointed out that it was so framed to take care of the properâ€" taies of several of the Town‘s oldest citizens, but he saw no reason why the proposed revision could not be made inin this case, as the plans would not effect the existing property. Counâ€" cillor Mallaby asked were theâ€"older buildings _ with _ their _ verandahs, built before the byâ€"law was framed and was uniformed, that in each case they were. The change in the byâ€"law will be operative so that the whole of the distance to the railroad tracks will come within the scope of the reâ€" vision. Cannot Entertain Claims For Damage To Tires A claim was received and considered in connection with ‘the loss of an autoâ€" mobile tire, alleged to have been brought about through the condition of the trackage through the Town. Some discussion took place. on the matter but it was unanimously agreed that the claim could not be entertainâ€" ed and the Clerk was notified to inâ€" timate the ruling of the Council to claimant. A communication from â€" Mr. A. Sheard, relative to the reâ€"construction of the front of the old Methodist Parâ€" sonage on King street, wherein he asked for some slight revision of the street line byâ€"law, was supported by his personal presence, when on the inâ€" vitation of Mayor Coulter he was askâ€" ed to define to Council just what was desired. Mr. Sheard showed plans and profiles of the proposed changes which he intended to make which elâ€" icited the remark from Mayor Coulter, The building has been an eyesore in the district for a number of years and this sketch would appear to preâ€" sent an improved appearance.‘ A letter from Messrs. Gray and Lyons the Town‘s solicitor intimated that there appeared to be a deadlock in regard to the matter of the proâ€" posed agreement as between the Township of North York and the Town of Weston in the matter of sewer accomodation, and following some discusion on the matter it was unanimously agreed that the matter should be laid over for further future consideration. It was recommended that a conference be arranged as beâ€" tween the members of the two muniâ€" cipal councils, but no action was taken in this respect. Ci"rk Musson intimated in response to a question that the firm had alâ€" ready sought permision to locate their tool sheds. and he opined they would commence work almost immediately. Following the reading of the minâ€" utes of the previous meeting comâ€" munications were read, from the Conâ€" sumers Gas Company secking perâ€" mission for the laying of a gas main on Main Street, 200 feet northerly from Eagle Avenue. Approval for their action was accorded. The Canadian National Railroad‘s construction department _ intimated that the contract for the work of reâ€" constructing the Main Street Subâ€" way has been awarded to the Richardâ€" son Construction Company, to which It was more or less a desultory session of the Council of the Town of Wetson that was held on Monday evening last in the Town Hall with Mayor A.

In the Vocational School the regisâ€" tration numbers 227, making a total of nearly six hundred students attending the High and Vocational classes. While there is one less Commercial class in the Vocational school this year the registration in the other classes is somewhat higher. § Staff Changes Two changes have been made in the staff of the High School as folâ€" lows. Mr. A. Dobson is taking Mr. McKenzie‘s place in the mathematical department and in the French departâ€" ment, Miss Janet Smith is in charge of Miss Jones who was connected with the School last year. "Never be the first to say, ‘What‘s yours ? " y With the registration at the local public and high schools now practicâ€" ally complete for the term, it is reâ€" ported that there are about the same number enrolled in the various classes as last year at this time. The Public Schools have their full quota of pupils and with the boundary line once more at the Railway tracks, there has been little or no difficulty in getting them _ placed in their respective schools. Discussion took place in regard to the matter of an increase in the salâ€" ary of the Town Engineer, with Mayor Coulter paying a warm tribute to the work performed by this official and in his remarks being very strongly supported by Reeve Farr, Deputy Reeve Webster and several Councilâ€" lors. Councillor Ella was n quite in accord with the suggested increase expressing the opinion that he had the interests of the ratepayers in mind in the curtailment of expenses. The discussion closed with the passing of a resolution according an increase of $200.00 per annum. The session adjourned at a late hour. All Schools Report Large Regisâ€" trationâ€"High and Vocational School Staff Changes ATTEENDANGE AT WESTON SCHOOLS Encouraging reports were received in regard to the building activity| which was manifest in the property | adjacent to the Wadsworth and Eagle properties. tendered to Reeve Farr, who sought the support of Council to the suggestion that in view of the} amount of building, going on some| road work should be done in the disâ€"j trict, so. that the roads which were; now more or less overgrown with| weeds and grass could the better be, defined. Discussion on the costs of such work as was planned took place, and it was finally agreed that the Works Department and Town‘s Enâ€" gineer should. confer on the matter after visiting the area, with a view to following out some course as sugâ€" gested. Mayor Coulter, Deputy Reeve Webâ€" ster and Councillors were all agreed in this matter that every effort should be extended to encourage the building activity which was apparent. Council considered a petition for the laying of the sidewalk on John Street easterly from the Memorial School, and after reviewing the petitions reâ€" ferred the matter to the Engineer for his report, in due course as to costs and so forth. Copy of a letter was read which was favourably commended upon as clearly laying before the C.N.R. and C.P.R. the situation which the comâ€" muners were facing in regard to transportation, when the period of daylight saving reverts to standard time. This letter forwarded by the Town Clerk, sought the coâ€"operation of the railroad companies in the matâ€" ter of the extension of certain priâ€" vileges in their tickets which would extend the period of date of use from thirty to sixty days, in view of the fact that the dual steam railroad serâ€" vice would be used by those residents of the Town, who numbered about 150. Clerk Musson intimated that he had not yet received a reply to the letter, owing to the fact that possibly not sufficient time had yet elapsed for the consideration by the companies‘ ofâ€" ficials. In touching terms Dr. Cruickshanks told of his early associations and of his now great desire to make this gift on behalf of the family of the Town: Some little discussion and further reâ€" view of the situation surrounding the property were eventually cleared up and with but one dissent (Councillor Mallaby) the Council moved to gracâ€" iously accept the gift and to name the property the Cruickshank Park. (this matter is dealt with elsewhere in these columns.) \ dered warm words of welcome to Dr. George R. Cruickshanks of Windsor on his visit to the Town and his apâ€" pearance before the Council, whom he requested the doctor to address, on the particular subject on which he was present.

JONES Following is the report of the work done by the Public Health Nurse in Weston during July and August, 1929. Mr. Woods, who, with his son was engaged on a tinsmithing job on a home on Humberview Boulevard, had climbed a ladder preparatory to comâ€" mencing some work and in some manner lost his hold and fell some disâ€" tance to the ground below.. Dr. Fred Cruickshank was called and had the injured man removed to the hospital where slight hope is held by the docâ€" tors for his recovery. After reviewing the situation in a broad sense and giving data in reâ€" gard to the legislation that pertains on the matter in other municipalities, as a guide Ald. Wadsworth proposes to suggest restrictive legislation to the end that no parking of cars shall be permitted in any public park later than ten thirty on any night. ) Such legislation will it is felt strengthen the hands of the Police and should commennd itself to all right minded citizens in the very best inâ€" terests of the future welfare of younger citizens as a measure of proâ€" tection against themselves. Even if nothing of a wrongful character may be taking place at every point where a car is parked at a late hour, so numâ€" erous have been the, instances of transgression, that the smirch is likeâ€" ly to be lodged with members of the comunity who may be most law abidâ€" ing and righteous. . 4 y When he fell from the ladder on which he was working on Friday of last week, Mr. Bob Woods, of Church Street sustained serious injuries and was removed to the Western Hospital where it was found his back had been broken. n Mayor A. L. Coulter to Open Show When Juvenile Gardenâ€" ers Will Exhibit Products The course as intimated to be taken by Ald. Wadsworth is one that should commend itself to other surrounding municipalities, for so sure as a reâ€" trictive measure is applied to the City parks, the parties persisting in the practices will resort to the outlying REPORT OF PUBLIG HEALTH NURSE From time to time through the efâ€" forts of the Police Department of the City and surrounding municipalities persistent efforts have been proseâ€" cuted with a view to putting a stop to improper ‘petting‘ parties that are deâ€" clared to be carried on in automobiles on the highways and byâ€"ways, but more particularly in the large public parks of the City. While these efâ€" forts have been commended it has been felt by a number of self respectâ€" ing citizens that the arm ‘of the law, in the matter should be to some exâ€" tent strengthened in the matter. _ As a measure aiming towards the desired end it is learned on the best of authority, that the subject has been under consideration by Alderman W. J. Wadsworth, for some time, in the course of which he has gained conâ€" siderable data from other municipalâ€" ities as to their procedure, with parâ€" ticular reference to the public parks. The result of his investigations and having in mind the unpleasant cirecumâ€" stances. that sometimes arise _ from such practices as the conduct of these parties in public parks he proposes to bring the matter before the next sitâ€" ting of the City Council for their conâ€" sideration. areas.

WEST YORK‘S NEWSY WEEKLY We understand that this Fall Mr. Mellish, Manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia here, will probably resign from active service. He has also quite a long experience in banking and feels that he would now like to retire, takâ€" ing a holiday and a rest. Mr. and Mrs. Mellish will likely go south for the winter and later will visit Vanâ€" couver. His property at Main Street North with house and grounds overâ€" looking the Humber Valley is being offered for sale. As yet they have not definitely decided just where they will live on their return. H. M. Arkell, B.A., Chiropractor, has recently returned from a motorâ€" trip to the Palmer School of Chiroâ€" practic, where she attended the yearâ€" ly Lyceum of 2000 Chiroproctors. At the Convention instruction was given in the latest Neurocalometer techniâ€" que. This instrument is becoming still more popular among Chiropractors. A smaller model is being leased to the profession. Many thousand toutrâ€" ists visit Dr. Palmer‘s "Little Bit of Heaven" weekly. It is a spot unique in itself. In travelling through the various states," Mr. Arkell states, Canadians received many a rub about our liquor laws. The name Canada seemed to be linked up with the licâ€" ense to get this commodity at pleasâ€" ure.. This Canadian did not appreciate this feature of the trip. Many Canâ€" adians believe that there are many worthy projects which should be linkâ€" ed up with the name, Canada, rather than this unworthy industry." When an Oldsmobile car, and its four passengers plunged 100 feet over an embankment on Golfview Avenue last week, striking a tree at the botâ€" tom, the occupants crawled out from: beneath the wreck uninjured. Accordâ€" ing to reports that reached this ofâ€" fice the car was proceeding along Golfview Ave., at the North of the Town, and toppled over the high emâ€" bankment. How the occupants ever escaped with their lives still remains a mystery as the car was badly damâ€" aged when it smashed into the tree at the foot of the hill. In what was judged to be the strongest competition in stock exhibâ€" itions for years at the C.N.E., Weston. came through with a large number of the ribbons last week. Messrs. J. M. Gardhouse & Sons exhibited seven shorthorn Cattle and one mare and foal and succeeded in winning three firsts, one championship, 1 reserve championship, two seconds, two thirds, two fourths, two fifths, and two sevâ€" enths, which is an exceptionally fine showing particularly in the classes in which they were shown. J. M. Gardhouse & Sons Take Prominent Place in Strongest Competition for Years Weston Volunteer fire brigade were given a lively chase through the town on Monday afternoon when a double alarm was sounded and which confusâ€" ed not only the citizens but also the firemen themselves. The first alarm was sounded for Ward Six and the fire was reported to be over the Humber Bridge on Dufferin Street, to which the local Brigade proceedea with all haste only to find everything all right. They then hastened to the bridge at the north of the Town and from there another alarm was sounded for Ward two and the blaze reported to be at Smith‘s Garage, Main and Eagle Ave. Finally it was discovered that a car belonging to a Tororto Fireman was on fire near the Humber Bridge below Smyth‘s Gravel Pits on Scarlet Road, but it was destroyed acâ€" cording to a statement made by Chief Consta%le Holley yesterday. ElA Too much care cannot be exercised when alarms are sent in to see that the exact location is found out and reâ€" ported to the firemen. ~ Mr. and Mrs. Peirson, accompanied by their son, Douglas, and Mrs. Peirâ€" son‘s sister, Mrs. Dukes, of Denison Ave., were on their way to the Exâ€" hibition and were crossing the interâ€" section at Keele and Fleet streets when the accident occurred. Accordâ€" ing to reports, the Peirson car had proceeded part of the way across the intersection when they were struck by another car, which had not, apparentâ€" ly slackened or stopped for the crossâ€" ing. Mrs. Peirson was taken to the hospital for Xâ€"Rays and was later reâ€" moved to her home in Weston, where she is reported to be progressing very favourably. The other occupants of the car escaped with a slight shaking up. Another Weston _ citizen suffered inâ€" juries as a result of an automobile acâ€" cident, when Mrs. Alan G. Peirson, Church street, sustained two broken ribs and other injuries wnen their car was struck by another at the interâ€" section of Fleet and Keele Streets, at Sunnyside, on Saturday afternoon.

ALAN PEIRSON SUFFERG INJURIFS AREMEN GONFUSED BY DOUBLE ALARN RETURNS FROM CONVENTION WILL RETIRE THIS FALL On Thursday night at the regular meeting of the Rotary club of Weston, Sydney B. McMichael gave the memâ€" bers some first hand intormation. He has just returned trom a month‘s trip through the West, to the coast. While going about the prairie provinces he made inquiries from the bankers and others and made the following obserâ€" vations. In the second place, the reports now show that crops are better than anticiâ€" Â¥ated. The grade of the wheat is No. and will bring a higher price. The great shortage has also increased the prices of the grain standing from last year. Thus the farmer will receive through their pool a larger amount than they had figured on. These two factors will do much to make the conâ€" ditions of the Western farmer much better than was thought at the first of the season. Farming in the West toâ€"day has also changed, and they do more mixed farming than previously. Thus the conditions of the west are not as bad as was at first reported. Vancouver a Beautiful City The speaker continued and told of the great growth and developement that is going on in the city of Vanâ€" couver. This great seaport town, during the past 6 years, has made great strides. It was 6 years since he visited Vancouver and he saw the great change that is justifying the opâ€" tomism of its citizens, that they will soon be the first city in Canada surâ€" passing Montreal. They have every facility for a great sea port. Their natural harbour, excellent railway connection, climatic conditions and great country yet to be developed gives the necessary foundation for their claim of greatness. The city is built substantially and they are payâ€" ing attention to its architectural beauty. . They are securing the conâ€" solidation of the municipalities that surround them by means of annexaâ€" tion. Thus this is destined to be a great centre for Canadian life and inâ€" dustry and distribution. * Trip Into The Rockies He then gave a beautiful discription of the sights as they appealed to him in the Rockies. "There, amid the great towering mountain ranges with their snow capped peaks piercing the skies, and the green waters of the lakes at the base, one realizes the grandness of nature. It is a time when one wants to be alone and drink in all the beauty that surrounds us. It is a period when you realize the greatness of the living God and the smallness of man. The color of the waters in the lakes formed from the glaciers was a perfect green and lovely." Travelling about these mounâ€" tain lakes and through the hills made him. wonder why people went off to other lands to see the great beauty of the world. One of the disappointâ€" ments was the registers. These showâ€" ed 95% of those who visited this great spot were from outside of Canada. Canadians evidently do not realize the magnificent beauty of this part of the country. Efforts should be made to have people know something about the pleasant holiday grounds that awaits us in the West. First, that the farmer of the. West is toâ€"day in a better position generalâ€" ly than he was a year ago. Last year with the great bumper crop in sight there was a lot of money spent on machinery, cars, and other big outlays. This was in anticipation of the great crop, When the wheat grade, however, was low and the returns not as expectâ€" ed the farmer tightened up and there has been very little expenditure this year. Thus the farmer does not have the same obligations to meet now. Last year was a lesson and they did not mortgage everything on the prosâ€" pects of the crop. Investigations by Syd.

After many years of hard, faithful work, the local junior lacrosse team are well on the way to win their first junior O.A.L.A. championship. Weston has won the senior and intermediate championships on several occasions, but never the junior. Many good teams have been entered in the junior series and they reached the finals, but always were nosed out. Everything looks much better this year. Brampton Scores In the second period Brampton came back strong. They backed the locals to the nets and carried the play into the Weston goal. Good defence work and McCallum‘s great efforts in holdâ€" ing the sharpâ€"shooter Gibson, held the fast coming team to one goal. This was the only score of the period. Wesâ€" ton had chances but did not just make the finish. They were not going just as well as they might, but held the aspirants in check. Campkin Scores in Third In the third period Weston did their stuff. They pressed the Brampton team and ran them from end to end of the field. The localâ€"team were playing to form and. would not be denied. Jack Campkin made a great solo effort and carried the ball into shooting distance, scoring for Weston. This put the team one up and also made the game full of pep. No further scoring was done in this period. Rogers Scores Again In the last period Weston showed their real condition and that they were worthy of the honors of the game. They carried play to the Brampton goal and drilled for the nets. It was a hard job. Brampton found it very hard to get past the Weston defence, and thus the game went along. Finalâ€" ly, Rogers seored his second goal. It was another lone effort, but a nice piece of work. This was the last score and the locals bagged the first game of the finals for the Ontario championâ€" ship. The following is the lineâ€"up: First Game of Finals at Brampton Saturday Afternoon Draws Big Crowdâ€"Juniors Play Fast Snappy Game That Delights Supâ€" portersâ€"Westeon Team in Great Shape. On Saturday the Brampton team took the field full of hope. They had just emerged from a good game with Maitlands and were in the pink of conâ€" dition. Weston had been idle for the past four weeks waiting for the winâ€" ners. But the local boys had been keeping in condition and took the field with the determination that makes vieâ€" tory certain. They came on that old historic field of Rosalea with full reâ€" membrance of the many games fought to the end for honors between the two towns. With the blow of the whistle they settled down to business. Brampâ€" ton tried to rush the boys off their feet but found themselves butting into a stone wall defence. Each man on the defence handled himself in cool, collected style. The scoring ace of Brampton, Gibson, was carefully kept outside by McCallum, and thus the first few minutes were over and Wesâ€" ton were finding their legs. On a fine piece of combination play, Campâ€" kin carried the ball into the danger zone, gave Rogers a péerfect pass, which he â€"drilled into the nets for the first counter of the game. This gave the boys the necessary confidence and they drove hard for the balance of the period, but to no avail. Each team tried hard and Brampton pressed but found themselves opposed by a stoneâ€" wall defence. ¢ s Brampton â€" Goal, Savage; point, Thompson; cover, J.

Again referring in the most glowâ€" ing terms of his late father he told of his sporting. associations in the Town, where he believed he had been the instigator of the first lacrosse team, ‘which I must admit did not measure up to the Honoured type that some teams from this town have gained‘ he said; "I wish to anticipate a point that may have caused some deference; with this offer we are preâ€" pared to donate without a reserve strip of twenty feet of land which with very little work or cost may be created into a suitable roadway from the highway to the park site." Reeve Assures Doner on Sentiments Of the Citizens This statemfent appeared to put a different complexion on the situation as Mayor Coulter called upon Reeve Farr to speak on behalf of the Town (this is in view of him suffering from Continued on Page Three In the course of maybe a little over a week or ten days the Town properâ€" ties of the Town of Weston will be enriched by the splendid gift that was accepted by the Council _at their session in the Town Hall on Monday evening; that of the delightful piece of park property abutting on the banks of the Humber River, to the west of the properties facing on Main Street. The area comprises some twelve or thirteen acres of rolling and wooded land that has been in the family possession of the Cruickshanks for very many years. _ \ 5 Travelling from Windsor, where he is now a resident and has been for years, Dr. George R.
