It is cleft by a joyous little rill which at times scampers and tumbles merrily away to join the waters of babbling Turtle Creek. The spot should prove a paradiso for picâ€" nickers and there is no doubt that mothers will employ it to serve as a romping ground for the children. The donation came as a complete surprise to the community and knowâ€" ledge of it set the civic soul to singâ€" ing. _ The prepesal to name the new park site after the donor is fitting and proper but the full name is unâ€" necessary: Leeson Park s sufficient. It has been proposed that a Gate be set in the coming Spring to gather at the new grant and have some apâ€" ropriate exercises wherein the city will be given opportunity to express appreciation . to Dr. Leeson for his generosity to the community and for the official naming of the site. When the Judge officially anncuncâ€" ed the tender of the tract to the Council it was accepted unanimously by that body. When we consider that a great city like San Fransisco had to win that wonderful Golden Park Gate from a great waste of shifting sand and plant every foot of it to foliage, we can gather some idea of how necessary breathing places are to the citles of the first class. (In part from Beloit Dally News) "In giving the park land to the city, Dr Leeson was movitated by a desire to express his gratitude and appreciation for the things Beloit has done for him, according to the adâ€" dress Judge Christensen made before the ecorneil. Dr. Leeson came here about 18 years ago. In addition *o his busy professional career, he bas done much through the medical and surgical service department of the Belcit Kiwanis Club. "Prompted by a magnanimous natâ€" ure, imbued with a love for his nome city and actuated by a fine civic spirit, Dr. Fred W. Leeson, prominâ€" ent practicing physician of Beloit, Wisconsin, U. S. A., who numbers his friencs here by the thousands, announced through Judge Chester H. Christensen, last Tuesday, the gift to the city of a tract of land embracing twentyâ€"two acres. Mverton C:â€"ptured Northern Chamnionshiy One of the finest deeds we have reâ€" cently heara of was that of ai cld Normanby boy, Dr. Fred W. Leeson, new of Belcit, Wisconsin, a brother of Dr. G. M. Leeson of Varney. Fred is a leacing physician in his adopted city of 60,000, and tis generous donaâ€" tion of a large park site there (to be named the Fred W. Leeson park) will henor his rame and make it live throughout the ages to come. Who among Durham‘s citizens, or old boys, will present our town with its first park ? _ Following is the story: From the ‘Beloit Review‘, Wisconsin Several cars from Durham followed local team down. â€"Not altogether a Pleasure Ride. Milverton team are worthy Senior Northern champs. Strengthened by players outside of their O.H.A. team, they won the final contest with Durham at home 6â€"2 last Friday night and as they took first game here last 5â€"4, they are up 11â€"6 on the round. Three years ago Durham lost by 1 geal in Sr. Northern finals so this year was the second time they battled in the finals. Like the first game here last Wedâ€" nesday, Milverton‘s big scoring punch was in 2nd frame, when they counted 4. The count was 1â€"0 for Milverton at end of ist, 5â€"1 at 2nd, and each team scored once in final period. Deâ€" spite soft ice, the game was fairly fast and the home team can credit their large lead to goals scored on offâ€"sides. _ At least 2, some say 3 of Milverton‘s goals thus resulted. The referee was Sawyer of Mitchell, who was entirely incompetent to handle the game and who hails from the town from which Milverton draws some of its lineâ€"up. He was imparâ€" tial, but not versed on the rules of the game and it was slackness on the part of the Northern League manageâ€" ment that a wellâ€"posted referee was not arranged for. Dr. Fred W. Leeson Generous denor Seventeen cars made the trip from Durham via Walkerton and almost all were held v» by bad roads and pulled out of ruts, either going or reâ€" turning. . They had experiences and arrived back at intervals between The Burham Review. He believed the best solution of a supply was a deep 300 ft well on the Stone and Sand Co. property, near the old power house, which he beâ€" lieved could be purchased for icwn use. This was splendid water and at its depth no contamination was pos sible. This well will provide 500 gaiâ€" lons a minute and nature, remarked Mr Ritchie, has been good to you in giving you this supply. Many towns have to go a long way to obtain watâ€" nual revenue from it. The first thing to be considered is the water supply. There were seve.â€" al possible scurces : one, Wilder‘s Lake was out of the question as exâ€" pense piping water here 5 or 6 miles would instal a plant. _ To use river water a filtration plant would ze compulsory and this is expensive. Springs on the hillsides might furnish supply, but ho doubted if they could supply enough water for homes, inâ€" dustries, etc. To gather a supply, a collecting basin would require to be built and these springs might have surface contamination, which might possibly cause a typhoid epidemic in the future. The mains must be at least 6 in. in diameter. Anything less is user0ss for fire prevention purposes. He would lay 8 in. mains along Lambton St to Furniture Factory. . Numerous bydrants are inadvisable and shorter hose lengths, thus giving greater pressure and less resistance to streams in fire fighting. Hydrants would cost approximately $125 each . Then gocd pressure is mosi essenâ€" tial. Ho advocated the erection of a cireular standpipe 125 feet high and 22 feet across, which would contain 300,000 Imperial gallons. This would be built just east of Mayor Hunter‘s residence in Upper Town. With a 100 foot rise on the hill as well, this would give it a height of over 200 ft cover lower town, which would give a splendid pressure of 88 lbs. It would not pay the town, Mr Ritâ€" chie stated, to instal a complete watâ€" erworks system for fire protection aâ€" lone : its domestic use in as many homes . as possible is essertial, to produce as large as poessible an‘ anâ€" nual revenue from it. B. A.,. B. Sc, of the Fire Marshal‘s Dept., Toronto, laid before a public moeting at the Town Hall Friday,, the necessity of a general water, works system in Durham, one capa®| le of giving adequate and prompt: fire protection. There was not a large | attendance but there was a ropreâ€"| sentative gathering of cilizens inâ€" terested in the town‘s welfare, \vho]‘ heard most pertinent information as | to costs, etc, and who questioncd the | speaker of the night on many points in doubt. l An electric pump would be requirâ€" ed at the well to pump water to the standpipe up town and a fire pump could be installed at standpipe to give more pressure if desired. _ Mr Ritchie presented two systems. the above equipment being reqauired for either one. A complete system providing water and protection for every house in town but 3 or 4 on the outskirts,, wauld require 31000 feet of 6 in. mains, 3000 ft. 8 inch and 700 feet of 10 inch mains. The total cost of this complete system, including engineer‘s fees and the buying out of the mains laid last year in Mr Snell‘s present private system would be $111,700, or annroximately $112,000. This covers every street. Prmarily for better fire pretection, but for domestic purposes throughout the town as well, Capt. J. E. Ritchie, To pay for it 30 year debentures would be issued, which at 5% per cent would make annual payment of 87 840. Adding to this maintenance charges, electric power, bookkeeping and accountingâ€"$1800 more, the totâ€" al annual cost for 30 years would be gof00. Assuming 250 domestic users at average cost of $2 per month, will bring in $6000 annual revenue and a revenue of $1000 or $2000 a year. might be obtained as well from water snnnly sold to industries and railroad Co‘s.

DURHAM, THURSDAY MARCH 13, 1930 With which is incorporated the Haistein Leader | DAN McDONALD Very suddenly at his home on S. Line, Artemesia, on Tuesday mornâ€" | ing of this week, death overtcok Dan McDonald, well known for miles aâ€" rourd Priceville as a highland piper, his stalwart frame and stirring musâ€" ‘ic gracing many gatherings. The word of the sudden death of Mrs (Col.) Adam Weir of Port Credit on Thursday last, came as a great shock to her relatives and friends of this vicinity. While at a Ladies‘ Aid meeting in her home church she was busy in the church kitchen when a weak spell came over her and within 15 minutes all was over. Deceased was formerly Kate J. Mcâ€" Lean, daughter of the late Mr=and Mrs John McLean of Bentinck. Thirâ€" ty four years ago she was married to Mr Weir, who toâ€"davy mourns her loss. There was no family. With her at the time of death was her nephâ€" ew‘s wife, Mrs J. F. McLean. He was the evening before death, at the home of his neighbor, W. J. Mcâ€" M‘lian, apparently in good health and next morning was cold in death in his home. He was not married and lived alone. His remains were taken to the home of his brother Sandy, near by, from where the funeral will be held toâ€"day, Thursday. Of deceased‘s brothers and sisters. there remain Donald and _ Hugh McLean : Hugh Duncan and Miss Margaret McLean, all of Bentinck. The formor two attended the funeral services on Saturday at Port Credit. Deceased‘s pastor, Rev Mr Lundy, conducted the burial service, assisted by Rev Dr McGillivray of Guelph and two other local clergymen. Mr Ritchie®admitted it meant a big expenditure, but said we‘d _ have something to show for it and after 30 years the cost would be negligible. Something will have to be done, he stated, as high insurance rates are imminert and the installation of a works system will save all ratepayâ€" ers money in reduction of insurance premiums : he could not say how much. "Whatever you do," he auâ€" vised, "do it right and make a goos job of it, even if the start is only on a small scale." Mr David Hamilton received word on Friday of the death of his brother, Walker Hamilton. The following is quoted from the local paper at his home, Langdon, North Dakota. "Sorrowing friends and neighbors filled Langdon Presbyterian Church to overflowing when the funeral serâ€" vices were held Tuesday afterncon at two o‘clock for Walker Hamiltoi, a (Cantinued en page 8) Both Limbs Broken along Countess St. from Lambton to Chester.

Schildroth of 3rd con, Glenelg, met with a lamentable acciâ€" dent Tuesday afternoon when a falâ€" ling tree in their bush broke both legs above the ankle. She was asâ€" sisting her husband who was felling timber and just how it happened was not clear at the time, so quickly was it done: Dr Bell was secured and gave temporary attention before hayâ€" ing her removed to Durham hospital. One limb was a compound fracture with bone protruding, but other was a simple break and should heal readâ€" ily.
