OLDHAM Hardware Merchant $1 5,000,000 $1 5,000,000 Telephone No. 16 Phone 2 I At a special meeting of Yolk Town- ship Council held on Monday, it was resolved to apply at the coming: sis- sion of the Legislature for power to allo"w the council to assess as " local improvement the extension of water services to buildings erected on the flank of corner lots, where the owner has already been paying taxes in ac- cordance with his frontage on one street, and to collect on the. new as- h sessment over a period of ten years. E The icouncil will‘also ask tor power to order that buildings on residential 4 streets of the township be kept back y ten feet from the street line, and that ' the same rule shall apply in the case ' of business streets that are. less than -66 feet in width. _ In view of the rapidly increasing ) population ot the township, and the excessive amount of work that falls to the lot of this council on this account. legislation will be sought to permit the council to submit the proposal to divide the township into two sections, East and TVest, to a vote of the peo- ple. The council will also ask to be allowed to appoint a committee with power to deal with "ttansportation ' problems in the township. _ TowNForH' or' YORK The township treasurer was in- structed to issue township debentures to the extent of $200,000, to bear the current expense of installing the Hy- dro in this township, debentures to be hypothecated to the Biank of Com- meme. The council decided to take up Athe $2,000 _school debentures offered by School Section No."31, at 8 per cent. to cover cpst of marketing, and the treasurer was instructed to this ed, tect. On Saturday evening last, at the re- quest of Professor and Mrs. Burton, several friends gathered at their resi- dence to meet a college classmate ot theirs, Miss Maedopald, who had just rieturned from spekding fifteen years in Japan. After a social half hour Professor Burton called upon Miss Macdonald to speak of her work a- mong the little people of the Far East. In an interesting and instruc- tive manner she described the little nation politically, spoke of its tradig tions, showing how Japan is far more ot a military nation than even Ger- many, asfhose ideas had been incul- cated into her for centuries; yet when the great war broke out they were united with the nations against mili- tarism; then she spoke of the nation's possibilities, a new era seems to have dawned. The authorities are favor'- able to the Gospel and are even ac- cepting it. Lastly, keeping self in the background, she told ot the work that had beeh accomplished with the pris- oners, among whom she spent her forenoons, teaching them the way of salvation, and of the great need of settlement work in the vast City of Tokio, where she labored. From Gher sources we learned that this self-sac- rificing woman had worked as the great apostle Paul, as she taught Ten- nyson and Browning in the afternoon to support herself, so that she might devote her torenoons to missionary work. The work has now,beeome so extensive that she has come to this country to get assistance. NEW MTssuoNsutE \VORK STARTED IN WESTON We were all so impressed with the address and with the need that we resolved to organize a society to be called the "Macdonald Society," to assist in every possible way this wor- thy woman in her worthy work. The officers of the Society are as follows: President, Professor Burton; Vice- president, Mrs. Dr. -Meldrum; Secre- 'tary, Mr. H. B. Tapscott; Treasurer, Mr. Keith Dalton.
