Some hills which were presented prompted Councillor Baldock to ask whether or not town employees had requisitions for thea‘ purchases. It was decided that in future no pur- chases should be made without a re- quisition from the councillor at the head of that particular department. The council also favored the issue- ing of an attractive booklet which will be distributed with a view to attract- ing more residents, and councillors Sloan and Herrington were appoint- ed as a committee to co-operate with the Ratepayers Association in pub- lishing same. It is understood that. the business men of the town will be asked to support the project and al- ready several have intimated their willingness to do so. A communication was received from the Ratepayers Association mak- ing certain recommendations regardâ€" ing the changing of the names of certain streets. Councillor Sloan thought the council was not prepared to go ahead with the re-naming at present. The members favored the suggestion that all streets have the same name both east and west of Yonge Street but the whole matter was laid over for the present. A communication was received giv- ing an estimate on repainting the tank in connection with the water- works. The estimated cost of scrap- ing and one coat was $495. Councillor McLean thought this was a lot of money for the job. A letter was read from Dr. Lang- staff, tendering his resignation as Medical Health officer, same to take effect April 1. As no reasons were outlined in the communication the Reeve was appointed to discuss the matter with Dr. Langstaff. After the reading of the minutes Councillor Herrington asked if the snow plow had been built. The reeve answered in the affirmative but stated that as there had been no snow there had been no occasion to use it. It was a lengthy session and was reâ€" plete with some repartee between the councillors and some representative citizens who were in attendance. The council went on record as being in favor of the change of gauge of the radials to conform with the City of Toronto and the action of the County Council committee was discussed. The resignation of Dr. Langstaff who has served for the past eight years as medical health officer was received and certain other matters relating to the Board of Health were aired. Richmond Hill tax rate will remain the same this year as in 1926. This was the decision of the council in reg- ular session on Monday night when the estimates for the year were ad- opted and the rate fixed at 51 mills. The assessed village rate this year will be 9.3 mills instead of 7 mills last year but there will be no increase in the total rate by virtue of a reduc- tion in the amount asked for public and high school maintenance. In view of the many items in the village de- manding attention and the many im- provements needed the opinion was expressed in council that it was bet- ter to let the rate stand as it was and make a few of the necessary improve- ments than to lower the tax rate and neglect these matters which are de- manding attention. i NOW 15 YOUR CHANCE We have a large stock of 5 Tube Radios which must be cleared Richmond Hill Tax Rate will PAGE FOUR We also have Two 4 Tube Westinghouse Radios Council Goes on Record As FavOring Change of Gauge of Radials~Board of Health Matters Discussedâ€"Dr. Langstaff resigns as Medical Health Officer.

F $15 Mr. Davies also questioned the apâ€" pointment of Mr. George Smith as Sanitary Inspector when it was ad- mitted by the reeve at the meeting of the Board of Health that he had not time to attend to‘his duties. He wanted to know what control the Board of Health had over the Sanitary Inspector. How could the Board of of Health make any progress under the present conditions he asked. He felt that the Board of Health was a very important body and should re- ‘ceive serious consideration. He crit- Gnuncillor Sloan:â€"~“I think it is a matter for the Board of Health and I move that it be referred back to them.” Motion carried. Reeve Lunauâ€"“Did I not ask the doctor if the Board of Health had power to do this without passing it on to the council. Mr. Daviesâ€"You seconded his mo- tion that it be referred to council.” Mr. Daviesâ€"“When the resolution was introduced at the Board I, not you, Mr. Reeve, queried whether or not it was the proper preedure. I asked whether or not the Board of Health had power to deal with it.” ' Mr. Davies wanted to know what had become of a resolution from the Board of Health regarding a recom- mendation that the council have the local dairyman install a recording thermometer in connection with his pateurizing equipment. There had apparently been no communication from the Board of Health bringing the matter to the attention of the council. The resolution was however eventually found in the minutes of the Board as taken by Mr. Davies and although the council questioned the proceedure they decided to deal with it. Reeve Lunau stated that he thought possibly that this was a matter for the Board of Health. The reevé stated that in the future an effort would be made to have all Board of health meetings in the clerk’s office. Mr. Baldockâ€"“Does Mr. Hume at- tend the Board of Health meetings?" Mr. Humeâ€"â€"“I was never notified of 3111 meetings.” " Mr. Daviesâ€"“No, I refuse to act. There are only three members on the board now and why should one have to act as secretary? However, I un- derstand that Mr. Hume is secretary of the Board.” Councillor Herrington opened a lengthy discussion when he asked who was the secretary of the Board of Health. He was informed by the Reeve that this office was held by Mr. William Davies. Mr. Davies took ex- ception however, and asked the reevc when the appointment had been made. He claimed that he had never been appointed secretary. “When I came on the Board as a new member,’ said Mr. Davies, “I naturally expected to see some minutes brought out at the meeting but I saw none. I mention- ed the matter when I came back from England and the Reeve suggested a minute book. I purchased one and have been taking the minutes ever since. But the Reeve never appointâ€" ed me secretary and I doubt if he has authority to do so, I think the sec- retary is, app_oin‘c_ed by the Council."

The items were very much the _same as last year and the rate was fixed at 51 mills. This means that the council will have slightly more money at their disposal than in 1926 as the requisition from the school Board is considerably reduced. Mr. Pugsley thought that the council had a good opportunity this year to re- duce the tax rate a few mills. A high ‘ tax rate was a bad advertisement he thought. The installments of taxes will be due May 1, August 1 and Nov- ember 15. The various items of the estimates are as follows. On motion of Councillors Herring- ton and McLean the clerk was authorâ€" ized to purchase 100 feet of hose for the fire department. Councillor Herringtonâ€"“I think we are only wasting valuable time as I believe the T. T. C. intends to chqnge the gauge anyway.” ‘-~ My: Pugsley thought it would be better for the T. T. C. to carrv the road on as at present for a while at least. If we want the gauge chang- ed it will cost them money to do it and howmwill we get reduced rates. Councillor Sloan~â€"“I seconded the resolution because I feel it is in the best interests of Richmond Hill and that it is the wish of the people We represent.” Councillor‘Baldockâ€"“We are inter- ested in Richmond Hill.” Ex-reeve W. H. Pugsley asked the members before they voted on the resolution if they considered the matâ€" ter from the standpoint of the whole county or if it had ever been discuss ed in this light. Councillor Herrington stated that he was aware of quite a misunder- standing regarding a report in the Toronto press to the effect that the reeve was opposed to the changing of the gauge of the radials and he mov- ed a resolution that the council go on record as favoring the change. The motion seconded by Councillor Sloan was unanimously carried. The reeve reaffirmed his statement made to the Liberal last week that he was in fav- or of changing the gauge and always had been. And that any report to the contrary was an error on the part of_the press. icized the councillors for a certain lev- ity which was entering into the pro- ceedings and stated that he was seek- ing information which he had not been able to obtain during the past year on the Board. How long is it since there was a general survey of the town by our sanitary inspector asked Mr. Davies. The last survey was by the Provincial inspector in 1924 when the report which was given at that time was received and although it drew attention to many serious mat- ters it was stuck on file and kept there ever since. He had brought the mat- ter up at the last meeting of the Board of Health but could get no action. He was going to try again at the next meeting he said. In the fourteen years previous to 1925 there were 8 metings of the Board of Health in the period of twentyâ€"one years from 1904 to 1925 there were thirteen meet- ings. If there is a municipality ini the Province of Ontario that can show a worse record than that I’d like to know where it is, said Mr. Davies. MAJ .-GEN. H. A.
