Phone 12 2 MAPLE' nOTEL â€" 'Toronto ADelaide 4140 RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28th, 1933 Referring to township affairs the reeve said that in 1931 the council had reduced the tax rate by 2 mills. It was said at that time that we couldn’t carry on he said, but we carried on in 1931 and in 1932 and again this year and the township finances to-day are in excellent shape. The financial position of Vaughan township, he said, was betâ€" ter than of any other municipality in York County. One problem was that of unpaid taxes and the reeve urged that all ratepayers who had not yet made their tax payments to make a real effort to do so. Referring to the problem of relief Reeve Kellam said that the care of those families where the breadwinner was unable to find employment created a serious problem and one which cost the town- ship a considerable sum of money. In this the council had tried to be fair. Fair to the families needing relief and fair to the taxpayers. He explained the program of work con- Vaughan’s Financial Position Best in County says Reeve Members Express Opposition To Expenditure . For Yonge Street Widening The members of the 1934 council elected by acclamation are as follows: Reeve George Kellam, deputy-reeve Robert . Docks, council: Robert W. Scott, Boynton Weldrickz Duncan Mc- Murchy. The annual nomination meeting held at Vellore Friday afternoon was well attended although the crowd was not as large as it might have been had the roads been more accessible. Ed. W. Brown, clerk of Woodbridge, was elected chairman of the meeting and filled this office in a most ac- déptable manner. Clerk and Treasurer J. B. McLean first gave a statement of the financial condition of the township which show ed the finances to be in a very satis- factory position. Reeve Kellam in his address first dealt with matters in County affairs and gave a very thorough review ofi the County business of the year. Hel pointed out that at the commencementl of the year the financial affairs were1 not in a very happy position. Almost} half of the 1932 county taxes were unpaid. The County banker at that time predicted that in three years one bf three things must happen, namely the areas bordering on the city be annexed to Toronto, a metroâ€" politan area formed, or that a divis- ion be niade of the County. During the year a new County Treasurer was appointed and Reeve Kellam express- ed the opinion that the new appointee Mr. Gardhouse, had proven an ex- ceptionally fine official and had renâ€" dered very valuable service to the County this year. To-day as we near the end of 1933 we find that those unsatisfactory conditions of the first of the year are changed. Almost all, if not all the outstanding levies are paid and the County had for the first time in many years balanced its budget. If the plans formulated in 1933 are carried through in 1934 the County will be on a payâ€"as-you-go policy. In 1933 all grants were cut in half and in 1934 perhaps all grants will have to be eliminated. The cost of secondary education was cut by some $85,000 and further economies are planned for next year. The ap- pointment of supervisors in many of the southern municipalities was a safeguard for the northern munici- palities in the opinion of Reeve Kel-‘ lam and the division of the County. now did not look like an immediatel possibility. the 1933 council deserved an accna- mation. 'r Reeve Kellam is mentioned as the probable choice for the Wardenship of York County for 1934 and his many friends hope that this honor will be accorded him. It is some years since Vaughan had the honor of a Wardenâ€" ship and it is felt that the honor is due the township and there is no doubt but Reeve Kellam would fill the office with credit to himself and the County of York. There will be no election in Vau- ghan this year. The entire council was elected by acclamation for the year 1934 following the nomination meeting held at Vellore last Friday which was featured by an entire lack of criticism of the 1933 council and a pretty unanimous feeling that there Was no need for an election and that {QWGHAN COUNCIL ELECTED BY ACCLAMATION 1933 council deserved an accla- templated whereby the township in coâ€"operation with the provincial and federal governments planned to pro- vide work for the unemployed and in this way eliminate much of the direct relief. A plan with an estimated ex- penditure of some $10,000 has been submitted to the government. On the township roads this year was placed 8000 yards of screened and crushed gravel at a cost of about $1.00 per yard. The reeve invited the ratepayers to compare this accom- plishment with any other municipality and stated that he felt in this work the people had received excellent value for their money. Councillor Robert W. Scott ex- ,pressed his thanks to the electors for :their generous support‘in the elec- ‘tions of 1933 at which time he was confined to his home through sick- ness during the campaign. Councillor Scott gave a detailed explanation of the proposed Yonge Street widening and expressed the opinion that the ul- timate cost would be much in excess of the present estimated cost as given by the department of highways. He thought that the cost of such widen- ing at the present time through Markham and Vaughan would be pro- hibitive. He said Yonge Street was a provincial road and he felt the rate- payers of the township of Vaughan were in no position to assume the‘ obligations which the present plans of the government would have them assume. During the past year the township council had lived within its budget and had accomplished some good work. Many roads were in a condition still needing attention but! the best possible use had been made of the money available. Councillor: Scott explained that in the proposed? work plan the federal and provinciali governments paid 66 and two thirdsi of the cost of the labor and of the} townships share the province paid forty per cent. REEVE GEO. KELLAM Re-eI-ected by.acclamation Reeve -0f Vaughan and the probable choice for the York County Wardenship for 1934 Reeve Kellam paid tribute to the efforts of the 1933 council. “During the year I have had the pleasure and privilege of being associated with a. good council,” he said, “a council in which every member was willing to assume his fair share of work and responsibility.” Councillor Boynton Weldrick speak} ing of the proposed widening of; Yonge Street expressed the opinion} that the cost of the widening in the, mile and a quarter from Thomhill to Langstaff the province should bear: Deputy-reeve Robert W. Dooks re- ferred to the work of the Education Committee of the County council of which he was a member. Economies had been brought about in 1933 and it was hoped to bring about many more in the coming year. We have made some progress, he said, but there is still much which can and Will be done. Secondary education is costing too much. Deputy-reeve Dooks said he was completing his fifth year in council and in that time he had received nothing but the best of consideration from his associates in council and the ratepayers. He hoped that the contemplated work program would be a success as he much preferred giving ‘a. man work to giving direct relief. the entire cost and this section car-‘ ried the traffic of both number seven:‘ and number eleven highways. In“ any event, he said he thought the‘ ratepayers of Vaughan had all the taxation they could stand at the pres- ent time and for that reason he was opposed to Vaughan assuming any obligations in the proposed widening. He said that he thought the Work during the past year had been well‘ distributed». One road which he had in mind at present which was in bad |need of attention Was the Teston lsideroad. Exâ€"reeve James Robson nominated for the office of reeve said he had nothing very severe in the line of criticism of the 1933 council. He did‘ however think that there was unfair- ness in the action of the council in dropping the penalty of five per cent on tax payments. He thought it un- fair to those who made a real effort and paid their taxes on December 15th that those who just didn’t pay by that date should be relieved of the penalty. If the penalty was not to Councillor Duncan McMurchy_in‘ a} happy mood kept the audience in good humor with a number of amusing ston'es and humorous references. He thought the council of 1933 had done reasonably well and at the same time he recognized that it was impossible to please everybody as- there are in Vaughan as everywhere else a. few chrom‘c kickers. He would be a can- didate for re-election and extended best wishes to all the electors for a happy and prosperous New Year. I Wish to express to the ratepayers of Vaughan my thanks for the confidence they have shown in me by my election by acclamation as Reeve for 1934. I assure you the Township business will have my best attention and I extend to all citizens my best Wishes for health, happiness and prosperity in 1934. GEORGE KELLAM Desires to express his appreciation to the electors of Vaughan for his re-election as councillor for 1934 by acclaâ€" mation and extends to all the most cordial New Year’s Greetings. I desire to thank the electors for the evidence of their continued confidence by electing me a member of the 1934 council by acclamation. I shall endeavour at all times to merit that confidence and extend to all citizens best Wishes for a happy and more prosperous New Year. Please accept my thanks for the honor of election by acclamation as councillor for 1934. I assure you the Town- ship’s business will continue to have my very best attention and I trust the New Year holds in store many good things for all the ratepayers of Vaughan.
