At the present timé; the Etobicoke engineer, Mr. McArthur, has just about completâ€" ed the plans for the bridge but certain legal matters have yet to be settled. It has not yet been decided whether Etobicoke can legally conâ€" tribute to the construction and upâ€" keep of such a bridge. Weston is also interested in contributing to the cost of the bridge, Now howâ€" ever, a new light has been thrown hn the question and it is possible that the responsibility for the bridge will rest wholely with the county. The legal details are beâ€" ing worked out by Et "icoke, Wesâ€" ton, and County representatives. A speedy recovery to all our sick is the wish from their friends.

Rumour has it that a new face will be out for the position of school trusté®. This would be a treat, in that in the past it has been diffiâ€" cult‘to have enough ratepayers at the meeting of the trustees to even adopt the minutes. It has been neâ€" cessary to go out and get a neighâ€" bor to come to the meeting. Hallowe‘en passed very quietly in this district, with a minimum of annoyance to the: residents. Howâ€" ever the large boys of the district showed poor judgment in tamperâ€" ing with the ilural mail boxes, as these are government property and may bring trouble to their parents in the immediate future. In keeping with the rest of the township, Maple Leaf and Grandâ€" view is still enjoying a moderate building boom. We are glad to see Lloyd Cairn out and around again.

If the Westmount citizen were to walk into town by way of Lawrence Ave., it is necesâ€" sary to walk one and oneâ€"half miles whereas the shortâ€"cut over the Westmount bridge is only oneâ€"half mile long. It is hoped that a soluâ€" tion may soon be found for in t;l‘e meantime many Westmount citiâ€" zens are using the condemned bridge at their own risk.

At this stage I would like to offer a little mild criticismâ€"Mr. Fairlie, who had the full time and rather thankless task of drawing up and seeing that the program was carried out, which he did admirably, should have designated the job of clowning to someone else. _ Secondly, tiat whoever ordered the ice cream cups should have made certain that the firm ‘supp]ying same, would send along the wooden ‘spoons that are standard equipment with all such orders. ‘ No doubt many of you have been wondering what the wooden hut, lnfie, for the use of, is doing on the playing field.
