council is duty bound to proceed with the work the cost of which would largely be borne by the area serviced the town in general would come in for certain expense such as where the sewer crosses roadways and the general tax payer might be called on to bear certain portion of the cost because of the general benefit such a sewer would be to the roads and ditches in the section served every

likethat and flowers on this occasion short lived joy a couple of lads down the 9th concession of markham very very close to the lloyd burrows farm envisioned some fun with a new boat last week that proved short lived to say the least the boys invested in one of those small dinghys or boats originally designed by the indians but this was a rubber boat bought from war assets stock placed into com mission as the water rose higher and higher on the flats just as the lads envisioned when they made the purchase of the rubber boat they set off down stream at a lively clip joy that knows no bounds
