Until one sees this district it is difficult to under- stand the vast building boom that exists at the south end of Toronto Township in particular, One member of the township council declared re- cently that the rapid expansion of the township has caused financial chaos, and further uncontrolled building is "economic lunacy". • Not many years ago Cooksville was a country hamlet. Today it has a de- finite prescribed area with a popula- tion of 2500 innabitants, Yet Cooks- ville is not even an incorporate village, but remains a part of Toronto Towa. ship. 1 One must designate the district as villae.
