‘Frozen Hydrant‘s‘ are Reported by Engineer At North York Meeting Certificate of Merit Presented to ~ Mr. W. C. Riddell at Annual Meeting After War Development Plan Outlined By Ward 3 Councillor At Monday‘s meeting of North York Township Council, the mysâ€" teri of the frozen hydrant on Chisâ€" wick Avenue was explained by Engineer Gordon Baker, A pail full of small stones was exhibited to Council that had been removed from the hydrant that was supâ€" Â¥osed to have been frozen when a ire broke out at the Weir resiâ€" dence. A large rubber washer on the hydrant shut off was also damaged, _ After the fire the Council ordered all hydrants in the VOLUME 59, NUMBER 5 area tested. Two others were found filled with small stones. The police were instructed to inâ€" vestigate. Engineer Baker also reported that a new deep well recently drilled was a success. A million gallons per day was being pumped on a test for two weeks. It is loâ€" cated just outside the township in Markham and although it is only a short distance from the present well, it does not affect the. flow now being uged. It will be piped to the Oriole pumping station where the iron content will be removed. _ The township recently entered into an agreement with the Town of Weston to receive a water supâ€" ply for the area east and north of the town. Weston has been supâ€" plying this area for some years and the new agreement is for five years. Recently the township had a survey made to connect this area with the rest.of the municipality.

The Lord Mayor‘s Parlour City Hall, Norwich, 24 December, 1942. Lord Mayor. wo;dbn-dgc Westmount Humber Eeights Mt. Dennis Through the courtesy of John Ackrow, the following information was passed on to Times and Guide and we in turn pass it on to our readers. The first point to note is that your present Fire Insurance poliâ€" cies ‘ provide exactly the same protection to-da{ that they did beâ€" fore the War; they have never inâ€" ¢luded any protection against loss or damage caused by air raids or enemy attack. _ â€" Many people have asked us what manner their present Insurance is affected by the War, and perhaps you too would like information on this subject. As the Insurance Companies ¢ould not undertake to insure loss to property as a result of War oymtionl, owing to the unpreâ€" dictable nature of the risk, they withdrew from the market for inâ€" surance of this type. There was, however, a demand from the public for protection, and the Dominion Government passed the War Risk Insurance Act and set up the machinery with the#Insurance Inâ€" dustry to make this form of Insurâ€" ance available. The scheme is operated on a voluntary basis, that is to say noâ€" body is compelled to insure, but they may if they so desire, The Dominion Government have stated, however, that if loss or damage is suffered by some pr:é)erty owners who have not availed themselves of the opportunity to buy the proâ€" tection, they will not consider Slro- viding any compensation for their loss, with the exception of the compensation under the Free comâ€" pensation provisions of the Act, which is confined to ownerâ€"occupied dwellings and personal effects and chattelsâ€"all subject to the Limits stated in the Act, about which we can give you further information if you ara interested. . and efforts to bring about a victorâ€" Tha .Paris radio reported that|into two small mosquito boats, and |carrying on ious conclusion to this world war.| Rembr&Rt‘s famous painting, "Man|in a modern battleship from 300,â€" | work.

I am, Yours sincerely, Arthur J. Clwelfind, ‘ Lord Mayor. Considerable comment has come to the Editor reâ€" mm letter and articles on trmKortation pubâ€" ed in previous issues of this paper. At the Weston Council meeting recently presentation on the question was made by Mr. Jacobs, personnnel representative of the Massey Harris Company, and as the result of this and of articles appearing in the press the Council has decided to take definite action. A conference will be called to which heads of various industries will be invited to sitâ€"in and discuss transportationâ€"this at least is the beginning of action to solve transportation difficulties. . During the past week there have been some glaring incidents in respect to the operations of the T.T.C.â€" overcrowded cars, incompleted schedules, slamming of doors, late arrivals at work. Many persons have been carried é)aat their stops because they could not get out of the car due to the crowds. Weather conditions have someâ€" thing to do with this and travellers who insist on boardâ€" ing crowded cars is another cause, and the lack of proper facilities for loading and unloading cars is a serious handical!). To overcome these difficulties it appears that the T.T.C. should have a more efficient system of dispatching cars on time and keeping the schedule in order. For instance, on ome occasion during the past week two Mount Dennis cars left the Keele Street terâ€" minal together while a third car also labelled for Mount Dennis was being filled. When the man on the job was asked about a Weston car he said it would be along in a minute, and then kept looking up the track. After the car for Mount Dennis had been filled he changed his mind and sent the car through to Westonâ€"we do not know the explanation for this sort of thing. â€" Insurance Explained At the upper end of Weston the motorman in charge kept the doors locked while he fiddled with the fire and swept the car. Eventually the wouldâ€"be passenâ€" gers on the outside became so irate that they broke the door in â€" we understand the police were called â€" such incidents only delay traffic. It is a common thing to hear the motorman say "Lots of room in the back of the car." Passengers are crowded down to the rear and then when they come to their stops they are unable to get off due to the jam of one car behind another had to run slowly and carried four other passengers in the aisles. One morning recently passengers from Weston to Mount Dennis while the car ahead stopped at every stop and picked up passengers. The first car could have gohe on through, letting off only those who desired to get off at their own stops, refusing to take on passengers who could have boarded the car behind. The public could and would have coâ€"operated by waiting for the second car. A small notice on the entrance door stating that another car was following immediately would have gotten this coâ€"operation. When cars are unloading at the terminal both doors could be used if two men were available for the job, especially in rush hours, and this should be done before the motorâ€" men switch poles, etc. It does seem that with some careful investigation greater efficieney could be produced, If proper terminals were built at both ends the new type of street car would round the curve and thus speed up services, utilizing the switches to the full. It appears that a thorough conâ€" ference between the parties concerned could iron out these differences and more efficient service instituted. During the past year Weston, York Township and the T.T.C. have made considerable money on the Weston and York linesâ€"these monies should be put back into capital expenditure in order to build a line which will give the public proper service. n addition to the scheme coverâ€" THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1948 Transportation on Weston Road "YWEST YORK‘S NEWSY WEEKLY" ing the property owner against loss or damage which is a direct result of enemy attack, or resisting enemy attack, it is highly importâ€" ant that you know (that the scheme also covers loss on damage caused by and as a direct result of the explosion of a concentration of explosives or munitions being manufactured or transported in Canada for war purposes. The fact that you do not see explosives as they are stored or moved, does not mean that there is not a conâ€" stant exposure to many properties, as the storage and routing of movement does not naturally come to the ‘fublic knowledge. _ The Halifax disaster is an example of what can occur in this respect, Your attention is called also to the recent announcement of the Minister of Finance, the Hon. Mr. J. L. lisley, which alters the. basis of the scheme to a partnership beâ€" tween the Government and the Eolicyholder on a profit sharing asis, under whichearrangement it would be determined after the War, what the net profits of the scheme have been, and such will be divided 50% to the policyholder in the ratio of net premiums paid, and 50% to the Dominion Governâ€" ment Consolidated Revenue Fund. This is a considerable improvement in the purchaser‘s position and it is recommended if tKon have not already purchased the cover, that you give 1\"lom' full consideration to it now, you wait until trouble is apparent you may find it too late to protect your property. . We suggest that you telephone or write to us, and we will be glad to give you full information as to how the War Risk insurance can be applied to your indiv‘it[ull needs and give you the cost of it, FAMOUS PAINTING STOLEN Please note the change in the da'y and date of the meetâ€" ing of the Local Council of Women â€" Thursday, January 28th, instead of Wednesday, January 27th, NOTICE William Watson died January 13th at his home in the 7th conâ€" cession of Vaughan Township, east of Woodbridge.
