A lettel signed “A Mother” was received asking qounail to provide police protection for children cross- ing Yonge Street to attend Sunday School. Members of council pointed out that it would be impossible to provide police supervision for all Sunday Schools and Reeve Greene suggested that Sunday School auth- orities have teachers or older schoI- ‘ars assist in seeing children safely across the highway. The municipal council of Richmond Hill village met in regular monthly session Monday evening. Reeve J. A. Greene presided and councillors Alex Little and H. J. Mills were ‘present. There was a light agenda of business and mostly routine mat- ters were dealt with. The resigna- tion of C. P. Wiley as a represent- ative of the council on the Library Board was received and accepted but appointment of a successor was laid over until a future meeting. Three representatives of a Toronto building firm appeared before the council expressing their willingness to coâ€"operate with the council in a housing program. Their proposal‘ was for the formation of a local housing commission whose finances would be guaranteed by the munici- pality to proceed with the erection of a dozen houses at an estimated cost of $2500 each. The builders would work on a cost plus ten per cent basis. No action was taken but a. survey of the opinions of indivi- dual members was against the mun- i’ci’pa‘vlity entering iribo \any such scheme at the present time. T119 usual gram: of $5.00 was, made to the King and Vaughan Plowmen’s Association. The matter of changing the elec- tion date from the first Monday in January to the first Monday in De- cember was discussed but no action was taken. Markham Twp. Council Markham township council met in regular session at the township hall, Unionville on Monday and routine mnuicipal business Occupied the atâ€" tention of the members. The Reeve and Deputy-Reeve were named as a special committee to in- terview the provincial authorities re the enforcement of the provisions of the weed control act as it concerns threshing machines. There is some confusion regarding the enforcement of the act as it applies to owners of machines who may do an occasional job for a neighbor. Council was faced with a number of accounts for weed cutting and as the price per hour varied the mem- bers passed a resolution fixing the rate of pay 1301' team and man with mower cutting weeds on vacant lot at 50c. per hour.
