Council Hearing a large number of depu- tations occupied a major portion of a busy session of Vaughan Township council held at Vellore on Monday. Reeve George Kellam presided and all members were present. DAY, MAY 14, 15 The report of the auditors, Wilton C. Eddis & Sons, was presented and showed the municipality to be in a very favorable position. It showed that the municipal financing has been on a sound basis with assets showing a decided surplus over liabilities and also a surplus on the operations of 1933. It was pointed out that the financial position of Vaughan is an excellent one and the auditor’s re- port for the past year one of the most favorable of any municipality in York County. Reeve Kellam and members of council expressed themâ€" selves as well pleased with the splen- did report given by the Wilton C. Eddis firm. The report of the audiâ€" tors will be printed and will be avau- able for distribution in the near future The total relief expenditure for the year 1933 amounted to about $13,000 and of this amount the provincial and federal relief boards contributed two thirds. A pleasant surprise was a donation of $1695.00 received by the council to 355151: with relief work. The cheque was from Mr. Peter Mitchell of the 11th Concession and Reeve Kellam and members of coun- cil expressed sincere appreciation of the fine public spirit and generosity of Mr. Mitchell in making the dona- tion. AT i0245 P. The tax rate for the coming year was discussed and provided the assessâ€" ment remains the same the rate for township purposes will remain the same as last year 6.2 mills and it is expected the county rate Will be down one mill. IL UGG TS The road work for the coming year was discussed and considerable time was taken interviewing representa- tives of culvert and supply firms re- lative to township needs for the year.

In future those who install water service will be charged $1.00 per foot from main to the street line and the balance of the instalation at actual cost of digging, pipe and fixtures. In the past the charge has been $1.00 per foot from the main to the cellar with an added charge of $5.00 for fixtures. It is hoped this reduction will attract many new users of town water, as the number of new instalation in reâ€" cent years has been disappointing. It was the opinion of council mem- bers that possibly the initial cost of instalation was high and thus dls~ couraged prospective new users. It was decided to purchase a new automatic chlorinator for the water- works system at a cost of $700.00. The purchase of this new apparatus has been considered for several years and its addition to waterworks equip- ment should tend to increase the ef- ficiency of the plant. The Municipal Building will be treated to a coat of paint inside and out. The work will be done under the unemployment relief plan and the amount to be spent will not exceed $100.00“. Mr. James McLean and Mr. T. H. Trench appeared asking for a. grant to the Richmond Hill Fair and the usual grant was given. Mr. W. A. Wright and Mr. Trench made a sim- ilar appeal on behalf of the Horticul- tural Society and $50.00 was granted this organization to carry on their work of beautification in the com- munity. The members of council made an inspection of the roads Wednesday evening and following some minor repairs the streets will be oiled which will be welcome news to the house- keepers of the town who have been complaining of the dust nuisance. Jack Sanders interviewed the council and asked about the dog by- law. He said he did not like working in his garden only to have wandering dogs play havoc with flower and, vegetable beds. He said he countedl no less than thirty-five dogs cross his property one afternoon. Reevel Greene p‘ointed out that after May~I lst it was unlawful for dogs to be at large and said that a real effort would be made to round up stray dogs Regarding a suggestion that it be placed in the municipal hall council- lor Mills said it would be unsafe and he would never vote for it. How about the lock-up? said Reeve Greene: This is a matter which has been the subject of discussion for a long time and I would like to see it cleaned up. Reeve Greeneâ€"Do you think the underwriters would object? Mr. Millsâ€"Whether they would or not it’s not a safe place. Mr. Middletonâ€"Is it any more a fire trap than where it is at present when the door is locked. Mr. Millsâ€"Which would you rather be locked in? Mr. Middletonâ€"I don’t want to be in either one. Mr. Millsâ€"The point is that in such a large building there is apt to be a fire start anywhere. Councillor Middletonâ€"I move v»: leave the lock-up where it is. I’m sick and tired hearing about it. I second that motion said Councillor Neal. Councillors Little and Mills moved that the building be removed to an- other location in the park. After some discussion both moves were withdrawn and it was agreed to get a new price on'the moving as the extra distance might increase the cost above $100.00 tender price given previously. The report of the North Yonge Radial for the first quarter of 1934 showed an operating loss of $2063.23 of which Richmond Hill’s share is $474.54. Last year the operating 1055 for the same period was approximate- ly the same amount. BOWLERS MEETING A meeting of the Richmond Hill Lawn Bowling Club will be held Fri- day evening, May 11th, at 8 p.m., at Dinty Mom-e’s. Important business. “Does your husband confide his business troubles to you?” “Yes, every time I buy anything." Non-essential; Liberty; In All Wings, Charity.” A large delegation stormed the regular session of Markham Town- ship Council, Monday, protesting the twenty cents per hour rate of pay for breaking stone and demanding that the rate be increased or relief given. Public relief was discontinued May lst except in extreme cases and those unable to find work were given em- ployment breaking stone for the town- ship at twenty cents per hour. Des- pite the vigorous demands of the large delegation Reeve Padget and members of council insisted that if men refused work at 20 cents per hour they should) not expect the peo- ple of the township to feed them. The hearing of deputations occu- ,;-ied the greater part of the council’s time during the session. Tax collector, Ross Nichols, turned in a roll showing about 80 per cent of 1933 taxes paid, and collector A. Summerfeldt reported about 90 per cent collected. General accounts were passed to- talling $1200.00, road accounts $1300 and relief approximately 81000.00. The council adjourned to meet on May 21st as a Court of Revision.
