mmed for colonel john button so many people even those who live here believe the name buttonville to be a wnimsy that we were happy last saturday to see dean hughes set his tor onto daily star readers straight in this regard in his feature art icle along the sideroad as mr hughes explains john button was certainly one of the first to settle here but in the earliest days and until the late 1810s this village was known as milbrook with good reason too since the stream which am bles through the vicinity ap pears to have been dotted with lumber and flour mills so all- important to tne early settlers later however possibly due to john buttons fame as a mili tary leader he organized the york dragoons which were sta tioned here and fought with brock at queenston and in the 1s4s rebellion milbrook was re named buttonville one point where we must disagree with mr hughes is in his statement that john button sold quarter- acre lots for small holdings which now form the cast side of buttonville proper at a price of 13000 each in a letter dated sept 4 1942 at milbrook written by john button to the hon robert bald win who held the property op posite colonel buttons on don mills road the price of these lots is discussed naming the price of front lots at s50 and the back ones at s10 the letter goes on suggesting if this is too much that is s45 or 40 for front lots and 35 or 530 for the others maybe a better price and if they cant pay all down let them pay 10 for each lot and give them one or two years to pay the remainder with interest the lots in question were those where homes occupied by wal ter craig mr and mrs pratt the antique store the fullers stephensons craigies and trib- blings now stand ami t the back bill hoods and mrs ham iltons house neighbourhood notes garbage from another munici pality is dumped here and the smoke caused by burning refuse as well as a possible invasion of rats and mice in the area are a real health hazard not satisfied with the garbage nuisance alone the tompsett enterprise is responsible for the piling of top soil on land border ing don mills road just north of mcquays garage with a strong east wind blowing the resultant sand a real highway hazard is created here change in the air it is not unusual to note the structure of new homes in the area but when houses begin to disappear that is usually a sign of growth in a different direc tion recently near steeles avenue the old home of the jack gough family was torn down to make more room for the wholesale vegetable market which was es tablished there last year and at the rise on don mills road be low john street the home form erly owned by the holdens has been torn down to make way for the cnr bypass soon to cut the countryside the holdens have moved
