say the Mercerized Sateen Blouses are just fit and style At a special meeting of the Town Council last Friday night the Road Bridge Committee was instructed to proceed at once with a section of granolithic walk on tha west side of Main Street from the Jackson House to the Sovereign Bank both inclusive and also in front of the Royal Hotel We heartily approve of this action of the Council and believe it will meet with the approbation of the ratepayers The work will be done by day under the supervision of an expert from and it is estimated that it will not cost more than per square foot The cost will be paid out of the general taxes and will not exceed the annual appropriation to the Road Bridge Committee It was the original intention of tire Council to put a similar walk on the east side of Main Street from Timothy St to Hunter Bros but some of the property owners refuse to pay the excess a walk in front of their stores and have very inconsiderately blocked the en terprising step We hope that before tire present undertaking is completed some of the merchants on the east side will take the matter in hand personally and petition the Council for much needed improvement Surely there is not an owner of in business portion of this Town that would refuse to sign it after a little consideration the subject In many towns these gran olithic walks are put down on the condition that the property benefited will pay onethird the entire cost while others demand tin whole cost to be paid by frontage tax In this instance Council propose to build a six foot walk by general taxation and all they ask is that the property shall pay the extra cost from Hit walk to the front of the store some cases only 1 foot and in other cases only or feet The extra cost for any one store would not ex ceed or and there is no similar expenditure that would improve town so much Newmarket Is to hold its position as the Hub of North York it must keep up with progress ive improvements and
