O'Neill and And, erson appeared before Council with a proposition aiming to take up the op- tion and to carry out the installation of an aerodrome on the site. The plan as laid before Council was of such character that further consideration of the scheme was deemed advisable, and the deputation were so advised by Reeve Price, who intimated that a decision on the matter would be for- warded to those interested in the im- mediate future. Plans for the installation of local improvements works on Clissold Ave- nue and Elm Road were reviewed and the work will probably be undertaken this_year if the weather conditions will permit, according to Engineer MaeNiehol. Council considered at some length the possible furnishing of at least one motorcycle for the use of the police in the Township, parti- cularly in the Lake Shore area, and data relative to the type and probable costs of the machines will be obtain- ed for report at the next meeting of Council. The application from the Board of High School Trustees relative to the installation of safety signs at the cor- ners of Bloor and Dundas highways with Montgomery Avenue, was re- ferred back for further particulars to be received from the engineers de- partment regarding suitable locations. While no definite figures were giv- en on the matter, Mrs. Omerod was informed that to install sewers in the section as proposed would create such an" expenditure that the taypayers would not be able to face and that in the light of the improvements which were being installed the aided expense would be but placing an undue tax on the ratepayers. 'Council approves the principle of the introduction of sew- ers,' declared Reeve Price, 'but, can- not condone with the creation of un- due exense on the citizens.' A view that was concurred in by the mem- let and acknowledged by Mrs. Om- er . Mr. and Mrs. Jenner of the Brown's Line area, appeared before Council with an application to install a dry cleaning and pressing establishment in the district, Some considerable de- bate took place on the matter in view of the risks involved, though Deputy Reeve Clarkson expressed the opinion that the applicants should not be held up on the matter, when it was sug- gested that a poll of residents of the area be taken. C Drainage Question May Be Subject of Election Vote. Reeve Price suggested that the poll be taken right away and if such should prove satisfactory to the En- gineer then he should be empowered to grant the necessary permit for the work to proceed. A motion to this effect was finally approved, - Following some discussion in this application it was suggested that the matter was of such importance to the area that it might be advisable to have it go to the people as a matter of voting at the next municipal elec- tion, so that the sentiments of the whole of the citizens may be obtain- ed. Definite action along this pro- posed line will be a matter of consid- eration in the course of the next week or so following on the review of the petitions.‘ __ 7 7 7 7 Mr. A. N.‘Moore appeared in regard to some drainage trouble on his pro- perty which after a conference with the Township Engineer was satisfac- torily cleared up by mutual agree- ment. Members of the Humber Bay School Board in the persons of Messrs. J. T. Huston, J. N. Parker and Pollard presented their petitions for the creation of a drainage system in the district covered by Water area 4, the matter was referred to the En- gineer and the Clerk for the purpose of checking the petitions, - Etobicoke Township Council held their regular session in the Town Hall, Islington, on Monday last, pre- sided over by Reeve J. Ray Price. There was little of a contentious char- acter before the Council for consider- ation during the meeting, which was occupied with much routine work. SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY The Seventh anniversary of the or- ganization of Islington Presbyterian congregation was fittingly observed ETOBHCOKE A communication was received from the Canadian National Electric Rail- road relative to the matter of the non- observance of the slow orders by trainmen at the several railroad crossings through the municipality and stating that the matter should have immediate attention, while ex- pressing thanks for having had the sit_u_ation_ pointed out to the officials. Mrs. Omerod of Westmount, secre- tary of the Westmount Ratepayers', appeared before Council with a re- quest for some ruling in regard to the possibility of the installation of sewers in the district. Practically every member of Council with the in- clusion of the Reeve pointed out in very conclusive terms to the delegate that the present situation in the dis- trict having in mind the assessable value of the property in the district under consideration, precluded the possibility of the installation of sew- ers in the area for a time.

Great interest was shown dur- by the makers of Rogers batterlyless radio, at whch Reinald Werrenrath, of international fame, combined with other talented artists, in what, with- out doubt, was the most extensive commercial Canadian chain broadcast yet achieved. With the year by year improve- ments in radio receiving sets, the pub- lie seeks the latest developments) in "entertainment from the Air". Pub- lie confidence in the value and use of radio in the home is strongly evid- enced by the interest of every mem- ber of the family in the purchase of a radio receiving set. _ The importance of the radio to the home, both in educational and enter.. tainment, is being stressed from var- ious angles this week, by one of the leading Canadian radio manu- factures. Father, mother and the children have their'say when the choice of a radio is up for consideration.
