. The amount spent on roads and bridges to date is about $16,000 in- cluding the money paid at the July meeting. ' Deputation From East Vaughan Ratepayers A deputation from the East Vaugh- an Rato‘payers Association waited on the council and had a very interesting instructive and profitable conference with the township fathers regarding many matters of vital importance to people resident at the east side of the municipality. The deputation was given a very cordial reception and an attentive and sympathetic hearing by the members of the council. Inform- ation on all subjects was gladly given and the members expressed their pleasure on having a delegation from such a representative organization Vaughan township council met in regular session oh Tuesday afternoon with Reeve George Kellam presiding and all the members present. A by- law was passed authorizing the clerk to levy taxes to the amount of $10,â€" 000. for township purposes to meet curl”: 1t expenditures this year. This along with the $22,000 to be levied for road and bridges will take an 8.2 mill rate which is the same as last year. A By-‘law was also passed authorizing a levy of $44,112.20 for County Taxes which is an increase of about $4000 over 1927. This will mean that ‘Vaughan residents will pay a slightly increased tax this year on account of the increase in County exâ€" penditure.

The delegat- ion was headed by President James Wark who was supported by T. Rose, W. Howell, J. Wray and Mr. Sparks. The various subjects were very ably presented to the council by this com- mittee which was appointed at a gen- eral meeting of the Association and made a special survey of the district prior to visiting the council. Atten- tion was drawn to road conditions on Spruce Avenue, Avenue Road, Carr- ville Road, Bathurst Road, Mill Road, Oak Avenue, Edgar Avenue, Garden Avenue, May Avenue and Yongehurst Road and plans for remedying exist- ing ills suggested. The council con- template taking care of certain of these streets under the local improve- ment plan this year and the work on these will be commenced about Sep- tember 1st. In some other cases the council had the work in their schedule for this year and in other cases they will endeavour to carry out the sugâ€" gestions of the association as far as time and funds will permit. Among the other suggestions of the deputat- ion was a strong recommendation that the council expedite the laying of sidewalks on the west side of Yonge Street from Thornhill to Richmond Hill in the interests of the safety of pedestrians. and also urged the coun- cil to have lights installed on the hydâ€" ro poles on Yonge Street. The matt- er of sidewalks has been dealt with by the council and is awaiting sancâ€" tion of the Provincial Department and the lighting question will be consider- ed. presents Yonge and fl Castlefield 2 Serial A GOOD PLACE‘ TO BUY A USED CAR “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essentialx. Liberty; In All Things. Charity.” The need of more machinery was carefully considered and on motion of .Deputy-Reeve Stiver and Councillor iSmith it was decided to purchase two No. 3 Boss Graders from the Canada Ingot Company of Guelph for immed- iate delivery. The machine chosen is very adaptable for the township work. \It can readily be used for mainten- ance or can also be utilized for con- struction work. It weighs 1400 lbs. and will be drawn by four horses when doing heavy work or for main- tenance can be handled by a team or three horses. The price F. O. B. Guelph is $185. The members were unanimously a- greed that the municipality was hin- dered in the accomplishment of work by not having graders. It was point- ed out that it was a very necessary piece of maintenance equipment and could be used to good advantage in dragging in the summer time when the ordinary road drags were practi- cally useless. Mr. Scott appeared before the council asking that some work be done between lots eight and nine on concession 7. Markham township council met in regular session at Unionville on Tues‘ day afternoon, with Reeve Gohn pre- siding and all the members present. The matter of the construction of culverts and bridges was considered at some length and it was decided that the engineer should call for ten- ders for the constructiOn work of cer- tain bridges and that the same pro- cedure should be followed in the matter of culverts; Deputy-Reeve Stiver complained of the manner in which the work was being carried out on the fifth conces- sion. He said it was his understand- ing when the council went over the road that the ditch was to be cleaned out, and now he found stakes out which would mean that a new ditch would be made and the road be twenâ€" ty four feet wide. Addressing the Reeve he said; “You know I’m oppos- ed to a twenty four foot road and now you’re bound to build one right in front of my own place.” MARKHAM TOWNSHHP BUYS TWO NEW ROAD GRADERS Reeve Gohn â€" “Oh you want to forget that; I’m not the only one in favor of a twenty-four foot road. Mr. McVicar tells us to make the tt‘venty four foot road. Deputyâ€"Reeve Padget â€" My view of the matter is that all main arter- ies should be twenty~four foot roads, but then again there are roads for which a tWenty foot width is suffici- ent. ' Mr. StiverLâ€"He doesn’t say that all roads must be twenty four feet. Reeve Gohn said that in regard to the work on the fifth as far as he knew there was no intention of mak- ing a new ditch. It was merely a ca- se of widening the ditch to a suffici- e'ht width to ensure the proper flow at the culvert. The contract was also let for the construction of a waterbound macadâ€" am roadway on Helen Avenue as a loeal improvement. This Work will be done by the A. E. Jupp Construct. ion Company and the estimated cost will be between four and five thous- and dollars. The cost will be borne by the owners of property on the street served with the exception of certain flankages which must be tak- en care of by the municipality as a whole. Deputy-Reeve Stiver wanted the whole council to inspect the road and decide what was to be done as if the work was gone on with as laid out now it meant the dirt from the ditch would be banking the water up on a man’s farm and he wouldn't stand for that. Reeve Gohn said that the c'ouncil decided how the ditch was to be fixed and he thought if Deputy Reeve Stiv- er and the Road Superintendent got together the matter could be settled without a visit of the whole council. The contract for the construction of the new bridge on Church street was let to Mr. H. Patterson for a con- sideration of $1250. Other tenders were $1390, $1446, and $1575. RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, ’ LIMITED “ 24 Hour Service Reeve Gohn â€"~ Mr. Rudkin was ap- pointed exactly the same way as all other foremen and you didn’t mention patching although you did mention the construction work and we agreed with you. If the work is going along satisfactorily I don’t think there’s anything we can do now, unless you think the work is not being done proâ€" perly. "' Deputy-Reeve Stiver asked what it was going to cost to patch the sixth concession. He said he thought that that Work should have been let by contract. He thought it rather poor business to set a bunch of men to work and say, “there go to it, the townline is your limit.” .Reeve Gohn_â€"â€" Yes the work must be done. Mr. Stiver â€" Well I think it’s rathâ€" er a poor way of doing business. We let the other work on the sixth by contract and I think the patching should have been done the same way. I understood when Mr. Rudkin was appointed foreman that he would not be expetced to do patching or work of that kind. Mr. Stiver was afraid it was going to run into a big sum of money. He said they’d been at it about two weeks now and were not near the top yet. Road Superintendent Middleton stated that there had been a great deal of lost time on account of rain but he could not say definitely how much had been spent to date, but the time would not be near two weeks. One week would be nearer to it he thought. Reeve Gohn â€"- Well it has to be patched. Mr. Stiver â€" No matter yvhat the cost? l Someone suggested that the work would proceed much faster at the up- per end as there weren’t so many hol- es. Councillor Smith ventured the 'opinion that as near as he eould make out it was all holes. There was considerable discussion on the advisability of crushing stone. It was pointed out that the stohe cost fifty cents per yard and the cost; of crushing was approximately $1.00 per yard to which would be added the cost of putting it on the road. Deputy-Reeve Stiver thought that the gravel at prevailing prices was a far better proposition. We’re gett- ing more for less money, he said. As it was decided that there was some work for which stone would be needed a certain amount of crushing will be done. The bridge question was considered in some detail in conference with Engineer Babcock. Plans will be pre- pared and tenders called for the con- struction of the Alcombrack bridge,‘ the Walker bridge and the Miller bridge. An effort will be made to re- pair the Deacon bridge at an estimat. ‘ed cost of about $400. There was isome difference of opiniOn as to the ‘advisiability of spending money on it Lor building a new one. In many re- spects the bridge is in good shape but certain important parts need urgent irepair. Deputy Reeve Padget said ‘that the cost of a new one would be a- bout $4000. Five per cent interest on this money would be $200 per year and if it could be repaired and put in good shape for two or three years for 8400, and maybe for less, it would be "good business to repair it. ‘ Council adjourned to meet in regu- lar session on August 7, but it is planned to hold a special meeting on July 23 when the tenders for bridges will be opened and the township rate for the year struck.
