Council Wants to Have Supervision Over Building and Sanitation That the time has arrived when York Township ought to have permisâ€" sive legislation enabling it to carry out many reforms and improvements in the general conduct of its business, was the opinion expressed at yesterâ€" day‘s meeting of the council, presided over by Reeve Griffith. The fact that there was practically no supervision over the building of houses and the installation of plumbing was looked upon as a menace to the community. In addition, the erection of public garâ€" ages and the location of laundries, over neither of which the township has any control, was declared not to be in the best interests of the municiâ€" pality. Deputy Reeve Graham stated that in the area proposed to be inâ€" cluded in the new waterworks system m.ore than 1600 people were living. j His Policy. In his inaugural address the warâ€" den, while counselling economy, deâ€" clared his belief that no works of pubâ€" lie utility should be allowed to lapse. _ The prosecution of the good roads system was favored, as was generous econtributions to the patriotic funds. A feature of yesterday‘s session was the unanimity and enthusiasm which marked the adoption of the resolution | to grant $250.000 to the Toronto. and York Patriotic Associatâ€" ion. Following a short address by Sir William â€" Mulock and . Sir Herbert Ames, a resolution submitted . by Reeve William Keith of Newmarket, and seconed by Reeve Silverthorne of Etobicoke favoring a grant of $250,â€" 000 by the county to the Toronto and Â¥ork Patriotic Association was unaniâ€" mousiy adopted amid a scene of the greatest enthusiasm. Plans are @lready prepared for the riew waterworks system, but just when the teaders for the work will be awarded is & question., In the mind of some of the members the time is not considered opportune, and the matter may ke deferred for a short In a communication received from E. A. Gaby, engineer provincial hydro commission, Mr. Gaby stated that there was nothing in the way of the residents at York Mills getting hydro power and light if the ordinary conâ€" ditions relative to signing up were complied witk. The rates quoted were regarded as satisfactory by council, and it is likely that the service line will shortly be installed.. A large number of routine matters were dealt with. time JAMES G. CORNELL IS YORK COUNTY‘S WARDEN James G. Cornell, reeve of Scarboro Township and for the past eight years actively engaged in municipal life, was tuesday afternoon chosen warden of Â¥ork County without a contest, his only serious competitor, Reeve Chas. Willoughby of North Gwillimoury,reâ€" tiring at #lrevlast moment. The action of Reeve Willoughby came as a great surprise to his supporters, who anticiâ€" pated a lively struggle for the coveted honor. Reeve Horace D. Ramsden of FEast Gwillmoury was also nominated but. retired. Both Willoughby and Ramsden affirmed their intension of contesting the office of warden in 1918 in any event. The newely elected warden was escorted to the dais by his mover and seconder, Reeve Silverâ€" thorne of Etobicoke, and Reeve Grifâ€" fith of York Township. James G. Cornell, the new warden, is a native of Scarboro Township and lives on the farm occupied by his fathâ€" er, grandfather and greatâ€"grandfathâ€" er.. . His grandfather was the first reeve of Scarboro, Township, being elected in 1850.. He has been for years actively identified with the dairy inâ€" terest, and. was for some time presiâ€" dent of the, Toronto Milk Producers‘ Association, and is viceâ€"president of the Farmers‘ Dairy Cotupa.ny. He has occupied important. p sitions on the county commissions and has been reâ€" turned every year since his election to reeve by acclamation. f Barclay, Florence, The Broken Haâ€" lo, The Mistress of Shenstone; Beach, Rex, Rainbow‘s End; Conrad, Joseph, Almayer‘s Folly, Victory; Dodge, Henâ€" ry lrving, Skinner‘s Dress Suit; Harâ€" rig, Corra, A Circuit Bider's Widow; Hocking, Joseph, All for a Scrap of Paper, The Curtain of Fire, Dearer Than Life; Howells, William Dean, The Leathorface God; Kingsley, Chas., The Tutor‘s Story; Lincoln, Joseph C., Mary ‘Gusta; Lippmann, Julie, The Governess; Locke, William, The Wonâ€" derful Year: Lutz, Grace Livingstone, ‘A Voice in the Wilderness; Rowland, Henry, Filling His Own Shoes; Ruck, Berta, The Girls at His Bilfet; Seaâ€" well, Molly Elliot, Betty at Fort Blizâ€" zard; Sherwood, Margaret, The Worn Doorstep; Ward, Mrs..

WESTON PUBLIC LIBRARY Adult Olassâ€"Fiction MANAGE ITS AFFAIRS I know, sir, that you will go to see Rim as often as you can, and also my dear parents and sister, who need some comfort during these long, weary winter nights, when their thoughts wander out here. I often think that if they have visitors it will occupy their minds on other subjects. The following letter was received last week by the Rev. J. Hughesâ€" Jones from Pte. Angus McInnes: France, aJnuary 2, 1917. My sister has told me that my broâ€" ther‘s name, also mine, have been placed on your church roll on honor. I am sure I speak on behalf of my brother and myself when I say we do feel highly honored..for your great kindness in adding our names to the roli. â€"I always remember about the last time we were in conversation with each other that you told me you would always, remember us in your prayers. I thank you kindly, reâ€" verend sir, for I know your prayers have been answered. I wish you a very happy and prosâ€" perous New Year. May it bring this awful war to a speedy termination, and happiness to many Canadian homes where mothers and wives are cagerly waiting for news of their lovâ€" ed ones. I remain ever your loving friend and wellâ€"wisher, The above phrase, as most of us remember, was coined by our King George, in the life of the late King Edward, after a tour of the colonies, the last of which was Canada, and when landing at Liverpool and being received by the Aldermen and Mayor, together with the principal ministers of state and leading . merchants of the Old Country, those words were given utterance in his reply to the address of welcome given him on his return to the Mother Land. Now we may be pardoned. some of us at least, if we have taken those words literally as spoken and believed that England was asleep It is the writer‘s intenâ€" tion in the course of a few short articles to show the real meaning of those words and at the some time prove that the Old Lion is and has been very much awake,although to all appearances outside her domain she was continually assuming the somnoâ€" lent attitude. § Reverend sir:â€" I have often intended to send you a little note to let you know how I am getting along, in fact, I made it one of my New Year‘s resolutions to write to you. ‘Well, to commence> with, I may say that I am feeling fairly well, considering what I have come through lately. I have almost recovâ€" ered from my recent wound, although I will feel the effects for a long time to come. But I am truly thankful to my Heavenly Father for His loving kindness in bringing me â€" safely through, when some of my dearest comrades have fallen. No doubt the present war has alterâ€" ed her position considerably, but as a peace loving nation of ° shop keepâ€" ers, she has succeeded in developing her resources, outside and inside the little Island, to. an extent that many do not appreciate. In passing we will take a short review of a few of her leading counties. Commencâ€" ing with Kent, presumed commercialâ€" ly to be of little importance. I suppose by the time you receive this letter that my:dear little hero brother will be at home with his dear ones. Oh! how I wish I were there alâ€" so, and that would complete the picâ€" ture. Oh! if I were just going along Joseph Street I would be the happicst man on earth. Poor dear, he has done his bit if anyone has, and he has sufâ€" fered pains and never grumbled. He is having a short leave, then he is goâ€" ing into hospital in Toronto, I beâ€" lieve, to get more @ff his leg. It seems that they cannot get his knee to move for an artificial limb, so that means another operation. But the same God who guided my footsteps to where he was lying in that shell nole and who hbhas tenderly watched over him all through those . weary monfhswviu carry him through. On looking back to the peaceful condition and pursuits prevailing preâ€" vious to 1914, the commencement of this titanic struggle between Great Britain and Germany. There are, I venture to assert, few of us who conâ€" templated such an upheaval possible in that great fruit and hop producâ€" ing centre, commoniy called the garâ€" den of England, and rightly so, as its soil, being some of the most fertile, its position and aspect generally, toâ€" gether with its closeness to the metâ€" ropolis, have always been features calâ€" culated to further those industries,and at the same time improve its finanâ€" cial position and stamp it as one of the leading counties of the Old Counâ€" try. How little thought or remotest idea had a place in any one of those brains who first planned and. constructed those two trunk lines of railway, toâ€" gether with their network of laterals embracing virtually the whole of the county, of what part their handiwork would eventually play in the defence of England‘s freedom and honor. A. cursory glance at the map of England showing her southâ€"eastern coast line will tend to convince one of the important parts, considering her geographical position, Kent must be playing in the present war. Take a pen and draw three parallel lines from north to south, the two right and left diverging from the cenâ€" tral one some fifty degrees half way, both converging at their terminal and base, viz., London and Dover, London being the grand termi}xal of all the trunk systems covenin®g the whoie of the British Isles. The latter (Dover) and wo must include Folkestone, sitâ€" uate some seven miles south along the coast, these two practically take what is termed the continual traffic, being connected up with France just opâ€" posite and only 21 miles across from Dover to Calais, by a fine fast mail service of steamers, where now the trains are run straight on to the vesâ€" sels without a break and transported direct to France, and could reach the front practically in six hours from leaving London. It is presumed thai the greater part of the army now under. Sirâ€"Douglas Hais‘s â€" command, together with the major t of their equipment and comm at~ have been transported over these two sysâ€" tems. If the people of Kent were ever in need of a war show, they certainly have had it during the past 27 months and are likely to until the effd, which we are all hoping may not be so far from: Tipperary.
