ONTARIO THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10th, 1936 “In Essentials, Unity; In Non;§§serii:smls, Liberty; Inr AlliTiiggs, Charity” R. L. Stiver headed a deputation of twenty-five Markham township farmers who appeared before the municipal council at the regular monthly meeting on Tuesday to pro- test against the plan now under way to make York County a part of a TB. Test area. Officials f0r some weeks past have been working in York County testing herds following a petition signed by a majority of the farmers asking that York along with Peel and Ontario counties be made a restricted area. The move to make York a restricted area foll- owed the movement which has been growing in recent years to have all dairy cattle tested to eradicate the danger from tuberculin herds. Mr. Stiver and' the members of the deputation protested that the pres- ent tests are unsatisfactory and that moreover so many cattle have been condemned that their replacement in this drought year is working a real hardship on the farming community. Figures recently released by the Ag- ricultural representative at New-mar- ket showed that approximately 20 per cent of the cattle tested went down under the test. This figure was not considered alarming but in some sections the percentage appears higher than in others. Cases have been cited where entire herds have been condemned and in such cases it was pointed out there is real loss and often hardship for the farmer. There was. a lengthy discussion of the subject at the council meeting and it was suggested that there would be families forced on the re- lief rolIs if the present plan is gone James McDonald, the new clerk and treasurer of Vaughan township, was duly sworn into office land took over the reins of office for the first time at the regular meeting of Vaughan township council on Tuesâ€" day. The retiring clerk and treas- urer, J. B. McLean, laid down the duties of his office after thirty-eight years of service and his retirement will remove one of the familiar figâ€" ures in Vaughan municipal life for nearly half a. century. In his lOng years of service Mr. McLean had the proud record of never having missed a. council meeting or nomination meeting during his long tenure of office. His successor, Mr. McDon- ald, is a young man possessed of many excellent qualities and he as- sumes his new and important duties with the best wishes of the people of Vaughan township and his many friends in neighbouring municipali- ties. . The New Clerk Assumes Duties In Vaughan Twp. The destructive work of maraud- ing canines was reflected in five sheep claims which were presented to council. The members of coun- cil in every sheep claim are anxious that the offending dogs be identified so that they may be destroyed. It is a recognized fact that a dog, once an offender in worrying Sheep is very apt to repeat his attack; on fiarmers’ sheep with costly conse- quences. With this in view the coun- cil several years ago established the practice of paying a reward to any- one shooting a dog caught in the act of worrying sheep. The Ontario Department of High- ways advised council that a. section of roadway in the township from Kleinburg to Central church had been assumed as a. provincial high- way. Markham Township .Farmers Protest T. B. Test Area Plan Relief officer A. V. ‘Orr presented the accounts for the month of Au- gust which totalled $732, which was a reduction of $276 over the same month in 1935. The declining cost was greeted with satisfaction by members of council as it indicated an improved employment situation which will be a boon to the townâ€" ship treasury in a lessened demand for relief expenditure. The annual Bazaar and sale of the Empire L.O.B.A. will be held on Sat- urday, November 7th. Please re- serve this date Continuance of Plan To Work Hardship on Farmers in Drought Year is Claim â€" Council to Ask For Postponement of Action on Project RELIEF COSTS DECLINE BAZAAR AND SALE Reeve G. B. Padget and members of the cduncil while very interested in the information brought by the deputation and in the whole problem pointed out that the municipal coun~ cil had) no responsibility in the mat- ter at all. The farmers by a con- siderable majority petitioned for the T. B. test area. and the work of the test was carried out by authorities entirely outside the municipal coun- cil. Henry Daniels Who supported Mr. Stiver in presenting- the case of the deputation stated that he thought the members of council should in- terest themselves in the matter and] do something about it as it was a most serious problem for Markham township. on with. “If herds are taken away, where are the taxes to come from?” was another query put to the mun- icipal fathers. W. J. Spears, another Markham township farmer spoke in support of the TB. test area and pointed out the many advantages accruing to the farmer from the establishment of such an area. Mr. Stiver pointed out that many who signed the petitibn did‘ not un- derstand it and that the whole thing was misrepresented to the farmers. Following the discussion it was a- greed that the members of council seek an interview with Premier Hep- burn and other provincial authorities to see if the TB. test could be post- poned till some future time owing to the financial position of the farm- ing community following a drought year. Markham township tax rate for township purposes. was fixed at the regular meeting of the council on Tuesday and will be 4.5 mills, an in- crease of half a mill over last year, the county rate will be 11.43 mills compared with 11.1 mills and the township school rate will be 2.6 mills. All told the Markham township tax- payer will pay taxes .82 mills higher than in 1935 and the total assess- ment of the municipality shows a slight increase of $14,335.00. The final reading of the rates by law took place after members of coun- cil surveyed every avenue of expend-i- ture and_pared every estimate as low as possible, consistent With doing the necessary work and maintaining the essential services in the municipalâ€" ity. Relief accounts for the month of August totalled $260.33 which is ap- proximately the same as for the cor- responding month a year ago. Reeve Padget again reaffirmed the stand of council that in giving relief the township would give according to the Campbell report and no more. Hospitalization costs for the month of July amounted to $152.40 and for August $320.50. A sheep claim of $11.00 was paid to F. L. Stiv'er for one sheep killed and one injured. General accounts totalled $264.70, road foreman’s accounts $971.95 and general road accounts $1142.82. Markham Taxes Slightly Higher For This Year It was decided to proceed with the erection of a new concrete bridge on the roadway leading to Richmond Hill near the C.N.R. station. W. L.
