LARGE. GRIST OF BUSINESS AT w MARKHAM TOWNSHIP COUNCIL‘S Short Course Will Be Held At Unionville -- Consider Fixed Speed Limit For Police Village - Members Disapprove 0! Change in Plans of Culvert. COUNCIL DECIDES 0N TWENTY FOOT CULVERT AND A TWEN- TY-FOUR FOOT ONE BUILT Markham Township Council was held in the Township Hall, Unionville on Monday afternoon with Reeve W. C. Gohn in the chair and all the members present. Deputyâ€"Reeve R. L. Stiver who injured his foot some weeks ago had to attend on crutches but despite his injuries was in his regular place. ed granting the use of the Township J Hall during the month of January to j the Department of Agriculture to hold _ the annual Short Course for young 1 men and women. A communication from R. J. Rogers district represenL‘ A resolution was unanimously pass- \{ ative of the Department advised that it was the intention to hold the course this year at Unionville and asked the council for co-operation. It was poinâ€" ted out that capable lecturers would be supplied and that to hold the cour- se'twenty-five pupils in each class had [to be guaranteed. The merits of this course are now so well known that it is felt certain that it Will be a success and that a great many of the youngl men and women c” {he townshi‘.) \Viili avail themselires of the opportunities which it offers. A petition was received from the residents of Elgin Street, Thornhill,l‘ asking that gravel be placed on the‘ street as a local improvement. The petition was signed by W. J. Hopper, J. S. Tassie, Ellen Hopper, J. M., Nes- bitt and M, J. Fisher. Reeve Gohn “and Deputyâ€"Reeve Padget will consult with the residents of the street relat- ive to proposed improvements. A communication was received from the East Vaughan Ratepayers Association asking the council to con- sider the matter of sidewalks and proper lighting on Yonge Street be- tween Thornhill and Richmond Hill. It was suggested that an electric light at each car stop would be a great improvement. Mr. A. D. Bruce and Mr. Timbers appeared on behalf of the North York Plowmen’s Association and were given ggra-nt of fifty dollars. A grant of fifteen dollars was made to the Thornhill Public Library. A communication Was received from the War Veterans Association of Mar- kham Township asking the council to take steps to have war memorials pre- sented to the township properly moun- ted and preserved and placed in con- spicuous places. It was suggested that they be mounted and placed in front of the Crosby Memorial rink. The communication was signed by L. Middleton. president and A. Myers, secretary of the organization. The regular monthly meeting of the Deputy Reeve Padget complained that a. culvert on the lot 40 sideroad east of the second concession which was fixed by council at a width of twenty feet had been constructed h enty-four feet wide. He complain- e that it was unfair if one man could run the council. It was definitely decided to build it twenty feet wide and then someone must have changed it and he was sure it was not the council. Reeve Gohn said that he visited ‘he culvert along with the engineer and that the engineer had decided that i'. should be twenty-four feet wide. Councillor Smith said he couldn’t see any sense in a fifteen foot road and a twenty-four foot culvert. It was in a section where it would cost a tremendous amount to widen the road to the width of the culvert and the traffic did not warrant it. Mr. Padget â€" I see no necessity for it. Reeve Gohn â€"â€"- There might be a future necessity and moreover if we are to get our subsidy we must build it to conform to depa‘rtment regulatiâ€" on S‘ Mr, Padget â€" We would be better without the grant. Why spend fifty per cent to get a grant of thirty per cent? Councillor Smith asked for addition- al grants for gravel on the Reespr and Ramer sideroads which was agreed to. Councillor Smith reported he had consulted with the Pickering council relative to the townline and that it was thought an expenditure of about five hundred dollars was necessary. It was decided that John Street in Thornhill should have some work on it this fall, and a guard rail will be placed on the approach to the new bridge which was built this year. Deputy Reeve Stiver reported that he expected work on the Scarboro townline would be completed this week. From Milliken east to Arm- andale the road had been scraped, the edges cut off and gravel put on at a PAGE EIGHT cost ‘of 2.25 per load of one and one half yards. The cost of this sect-ion of road was $217. The work west of Milliken was progressing very fav‘or- ably. The gravel east of Milliken ,was secured from Malvern. Fifty dollars more will be spent on the tenth concession on the second mile and a quarter. $150 has al. ready been spent on this section of road but it was felt that this addition- 9.1 expenditure would make a complete job of it. Constable Clayton drew attention to the recommendation of the Crown in a recent inquest to the effect that there should be some check up on traf- fic in small centres such as Union- ville. Constable Petch said that he thought conditions in Unionville were bad for traffic and that the narrowâ€" ness of the street and the bends in the lroad lent themselves to accidents un- Jess precautions were taken. He favored the establishing of a speed limit in the Police Village at some rate less than the thirtyâ€"five miles per hour A motion was unanimously passed inâ€" structing the Clerk to look into the matter and have some kind of warn- iing signs to motorists erected. ' it was decided that the Municipality ‘slxoulcl make application to the Attor- ney Generl’s Department to seek per- mission to have their court cases tried before Magistrate Duncan at the Richmond Hill court. There was considerable discussion on the merits of the big power grader which has served as the subject of dis- cussion on former occasions. Some of the members are very dubious of the merits cf this machine. Deputy- Reeve Padget said he had seen the machine working when the men might hs well have been in bed. On motion of Deputy Reeve Padget and Councill- or Smith if this machine is used any lmore this year it will be operated by “Road Superintendent Middleton. The following sheep claims were paid; William Dean, three ewes at $11 ‘1 ram at $15, 1 lamb at $12, and 1 lamb at $13. making a total of $73.00; E. T. Stephens one thoroughbred Lin- coln ewe $45.00; J. H. Young sheep killed $138., flock damaged $30.00; Geo. B. Padget, 1 lamb killed $15.00.
