RADIAL PROFIT REDUCED Operating report of the T.T.C. for the North Yonge Radials for the sec- ond quarter of the current year showed a. profit of $390.60 compared with a profit of $1299.23 for the cor- responding period in 1939. Interment took place at St. Paul’s cemetery, pall bearers being cousins, William Kennedy of Kingsville, Rob- ert Watson of Nashville, James Mit- chell, William Bryson, Norman Bry- son of Vaughan, and Andrew Mc- Clure of King. The rites of the Masonic order were conferred wt the graveside by the members of Vaughan Lodge A.F. & A.M., many prominent members of the craft being in attendance from Toronto and district points. The funeral was held Tuesday af- ternoon, 'a service being held at his late residence followed by service in St. Paul’s Church, 7th concession of Vaughan, a township landmark of the faith of his fathers. The ser- vice was conducted by Rev. Stanley Glenn of Glenview Presbyterian Church of which the deceased was a devoted member and supporter. The minister paid tribute to the life of the late Mr. McLean, his long years of public service and his long per- iod of devoted service as an elder of the Kirk and supporter of the church. The services were very largely attended by friends and rela- tives, evidence of the widespread mourning at the sudden passing of one who for so many years was a leading figure in the life of Vaughan township. A son of the late Hugh McLean and Edna Bryson he was born in Bruce County but came to Vaughan Township when about a year old and lived his whole lifetime here until he moved to Toronto a few years ago.

Road accounts were passed totall- ing $2360.03 which included $1403 for 1220 yards of gravel put on the roads by the contractors during the month. Members expressed them- selves as well bleased with the fine quality of the material being put on the roads this year. All men who work for the town- ship on road work are reminded that they must fill in National Defence Tax forms, or the National Defence tax levy will be deducted on the as- sumption that they are Single men and liable for taxation. A delegation representing the East Vaughan Ratepayers Association dis- cussed rcad problems with the counâ€" cil. Representing the Association Mrs. Weaver and Mr. Broom advised that the ratepayers did not want streets repaved under the local imâ€" provement plan, and therefore coun- cil agreed to go ahead with repair work on the streets as far as town- ship finances will permit. The streets originally paved under the local improvement plan and paid ov- er a period of years as a direct levy on the property have been in very bad condition all year. The rate- payers have been considering for some months the advisability of hav- ing new pavement laid as a local im- provement but now that the council has been advised that this plan has been abandoned repair work will be proceeded with. Road Superintend- ent W. 0. McDonald stated he felt satisfied reasonably good results could be obtained by patching. The work will be done as general town- ship road work and will not be a direct charge on the property on the various streets. A sheep claim of $15.00 for 1 sheep and 1 lamb killed was paid to Dan Reaman, and $16 to G. B. Webster for two lambs killed. Mr. N. E. H. Sitwell of the On- tario Department of Game and Fish- eries advised the council that be- tween four and five hundred phea- sants would be released in the town- ship sometime' in August. The re- stocking is in line with provincial policy in preparation for the annual pheasant hunt. The speeding up of all branches of industry in recent months has re- sulted in clearing the relief rolls of the township except for aid which still must be extended to unemployâ€" ables. There n6 longer is relief to employable persons under forty-five years of age. Relief expenditures for'the month of July was $237.27 compared with $502.98 for the same month last year. In all relief was extended to 49 persons all classed as unemployable. No Relief for Employables Now Vaughan Township council ’m‘et in regular session Tuesday at Vellore, adjourning for two hours in the af- ternoon to attend the funeral of the late J. B.

The Hydro commission was given instructions to carry out the provin- cial Hydro regulations as to arrears for light and power. Those in ar- rears will be cut off in conformity with such regulations. Reeve Trench asked the council to consider the matter of referring to the ratepayers next January the question of whether or not the peo- ple prefer a two year term for c0un- oil. If no action is taken it auto- matically follows by provincial leg- islation that the council elected next January will be for a two year term. Reeve Trench said he thought the people should be given the opporâ€" tunity of deciding the matter and the clerk was instructed to get full particulars re the necessary by-law for the next meeting. Treasurer A. J. Hume reported that the total cost of the watermain construction on; Vaughan Road was $1824. The council had received a tender of $1654 for this work from a Toronto firm but discontinued ne- gotiations in the deal following local protests because the contractor was of Italian extraction. The contract was then let locally and the increas- ed cost was $170. Six property owners on Church and Yonge Street signed a petition which was presented to council Tuesday night complaining against the operation of an Implement Agency on Church Street. The pe- tition signed by L. H. Clement, J. R. Herrington, W. A. Wright, R. J. Murphy, G. W. Chadwick and K. M. Carter complained that the business referred to “has developed into a nuisance by reason of the noise oc- casioned by the making of repairs and dismantling of second hand ma- chinery causing much annoyance and inconvenience to the residents and owners by reason thereof, which noise and dismanteling frequently commences in the early'morning and continues until late at night”. The petition also claimed there was a loss in value to neighbouring prop- erty by reason of existing conditions in a residential section. Clerk A. J. Hume pointed out that there was no by-law regulating such matter, and that while there were residen- tial restrictions on the east side of Church Street there were no restric- tions on the west side. A motion that the council take no action since there appeared to be no restrictions in the area, was withdrawn after it was agreed to meet and discuss the matter with the owner of the imple-' ment agency. “We do not want to discourage business,” commented Councillor Bill Neal. “Every busiâ€" ness in Richmond Hill is an asset to‘t'he village.” On motion of councillors Neal and Little the usual grant of $5.00 {was voted to the Vaughan and Richmond Hill Veterans for their annual pic- mc. “Ln Essgnfijgls, Unity; IniNon-essentials, Liberty; In All Things, Charity" Protest Church Street Business To The Council BOWLING NOTES RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 8th, 1940.
