the Graham Tannery then located on the east waterfront The names Graham and Lount were those of the men engaged there in water woolcarding After few years the place was abandoned for one at MidliuiSLand remained idle until 1875 when Mark McKay of Lefroy became the owner and replaced the place with steam power For abdut 15 years Mr McKay operated in woolcarding there whenthe place became the Hogg Milland fitted for business on modern lines mills were steam writerpowered as vol and powor At the point of HighStreetand Bradford was the George White brcad wagon and wood working shop an early water power place then the Timothy Haggart house said to be the oldest in town part of which is still at this point Across on High Street the Orr family had built brick house We remember the boys were William George Charlie Archie and Alex TIlL mother and family moved to Toronto in the early 1880s where the boys as builders in masonry became prominent in the life of that city and in other enterprises The Bryson bakery was located at the King property the house built in the 1870s and occupied by the King family for some years The Sinclair Tannery and later the St John small foundry came next The Andcrton brewery down among the mills the Simpson brewery along by Mary Street the Bunker Creek where pump and windmill plant were located with two houses next then came several small places

the urge to meet often at this favored spot ygltere views of blue bay lent cnchantment to their hours and of course the Allandale people walked to Dylncnt corner or fur ther No we didnt get tired and give up About l900 many changes came Gone were the saw mills new Barrie Tannery and later carriage works the Clarke and Clarke leather plant and other small indirstries along the street 1950 and we are remembering through 50 years of tile labor and money spent tomake Bradford Street what it is today and at the low places we are recalling where the road once was The cars on the used car lots now occupy the lledin places we refer to above To make per fect number of seven we deem it necessary to removie the old frame Bunker house deserted and totter ing and of this we remember problems and when young and new it housed family of promise Today the cement sidewalks do not join and there is much to be done along the whole street We are walking today and see ing with pride continuous mile of ne

They are the worst ones to change their minds or have they any The Curling Club would surely be an asset to build beside the Arena That is an unsightly corner The fence should be moved out to where it was be fore The GE building high school arena and curling club rink would be nice block of buildings The arena didntpay its share of the dcbent re this past year so what are the crabbing about for one wou ike to see the curlingl rink beside the arena and cut the strings attached The arena will be another white elephant for the townspeople to pay Eur the same as the municipal building That costs more to keep up than the revenue received from it As for parking TOFOnLO has no parking allowed for the Maple Leaf lGardcns Bleachers for the high school were not there before Let the high school use the fair park They havelotsof room and bleach crs1too The high school can build their addition toward Elizabeth Why do they have to have the former agriculture fair grounds Council should stop

perhaps if the old fashioned ritual were peipetuatedrlili detail The theory of democratic government is that the man who serves the public does so at lpss and inconVenienCC Heris unpopu larity He undertakes an unpleasant and unprofitable task because it is his duty to do so years ago that the idea Was changed and Canadians were given to understand that election to 11 legislature or public office of any kind was sort of privilege paying very good returns and to be sought afteanot avoided This is all evidence of the change which has come over the idea of government in de mocracles Where governments and their of ficials were supposed to be servants of the people elected to serve the people well they were paid and treated about as poorly as servants often are There has grown up the idea that Ministers Members of Parliament and the civil servants are specially favored class of people who have won great privileg es for which they must be well rewarded It is now becoming rather improper to say that government is badly run or that it wastes money or that it tries all kind of experiments without sufficient thought Probably it is not possible to go the whole wayto the old
