Phone 60 Richmond Hill Mil! 139' m. Constable J. Sheardown waited on the Council regarding a bill which he presented several months ago for $150 for services during the past years as constable. He said that he was appointed as County Constable about six years ago and that he had done a lot of work and had been at considerâ€" able expense and had received nothing for it. He felt that he should not be asked to sacrifice his tiine and receive nothing for it. Reeve Lunau stated that he felt that the Whole council should be present to discuss the matter and on motion it was laid over until the meeting pn De- cember 15. - The discussion of the constable’s salary led to the discussion of the ap- pointment of a constable to take care of traffic in the village. It was point- ed out that now the street was paved many motorists were using it for a speedway and it was felt that in the interest of public safety that some action should be taken at once to bring the offenders to justice. The memâ€" bers were agreed that if a constable were appointed for this work that ar- rangements should be made to have a magistrate appointed locally so that cases could be tried here and the rev- enue from fines, thus find its way in- to the village coffers to help meet the expense of enforcing the law. It was found that to accomplish this repre- sentations would have to be made to the Police Commissioners of the Coun- ty and this will .be taken up immedi- ately. Councillor Baldock suggested that] one outside rhan and one local man be i appointed. Councillor Sloan said that. in his opinion there was land in the Village which was not sufficiently as- sessed and that the whole matter of q assessment on both land and buildings should be considered l Reeve Lunau concurred in the sug- l gestion but stated that he felt that I there were local men capable of doing the work. deal wit the year, c Councillor Sloan stated that his idea would be to appoint two or three out. side men who understood their busineSs and would have absolutely no personal feelings in the matter to do the work. Mr. Fred Grainger was granted the canteen privileges at the rink on the same terms as last year. A letter was received from P. A. Drury of the Elgin Concert Band apâ€" plying: for the band contract at the rink his season. ‘The matter was Councillor Baldock suggested that safety zones be established where the radial cars stop and that all traffic be compelled to stop while passengers are boarding the car the same as they do in the city. An important matter which has been hanging fire for some time was clean- ed up when on motion of Councillors Herrington and Sloan the town will apply to the Railway Board for per- mission to consolidate the floating debt of the village and issue debentures for the same. There are several loans of ’odd amounts outstanding on notes which have been renewed from year to year for some time and the members were agreed that the proper business method of dealing with them was to issue debentures. Councillor Herrington introdu’ced an important item of business by making a suggestion which he asked be hand- ed on to the 1928 council regarding the revision of the assessment of the town. He said that he felt that if the assessment could be revised and raised the mill rate could be materially re- duced and the town would thus make a better impression on outsiders and the people would not actually pay any more than is now levied. He suggest- ed that a competent man be appointed next year to classify all buildings and put the assessment on a real business basis. The buildings at present are not classified he said and the result is that there is a great disparity in as- sessments. The present assessment as it stood was not at all equitable and [he felt that this was one of the im- pogtant matters which should be taken up next year. On motion of Councillors Baldock and Herrington the speed limit for the municipality was fixed at twenty miles per hour and signs to this effect will be posted at both entrances to the vill- age. I Richmond Hill Council met in reguâ€" lar session on Monday evening, when several important matters were dis- cussed and dealt with by the members.
