stepped into the picture last summer the un sightly yards are being cleared up of old motor cars and what not to make room for several garages for the accommodation of customers while the third story of the building is being overhauled and made ready for occupancy after being closed for years the total accommodation of the three floors will be taxed this summer as a dispenser of good meals at a moderate charge this man black burn seems to have something of a provincial reputation for a man traveller heard last week when away in the town of hull near ottawa that blackburn was in stouffville and when he came into this territory he made it a point to have stouff ville as his stopping place for the district knowing the blackburn of prestouffvillo days thus it is that the accommodation of tfhe dining hall is taxed every day and even many local people find it cheaper and more to their convenience to eat at the mansion than prepare a meal at home especially so in cases where folks are busy bookings for cite summer are very bright and assures a good warm weather trade blackburn is tho right man for the mansion house and a good man for stouffville because he has revived a dead busi ness and provided accommodation which the vlllago sorely needed today with the mansion house and the blue bird inn operated by mrs byam and her daughter ethel the public are well served with regular meal time stopping places thero is also one restaurant operated by harry fong for those wiho care to patronize this type of eating house stouffville ball club will open the season at sutton on monday
