VOLLEY BALL CLUB NOTES Each Tuesday evening at the High School gymnasium volley ball is practiced, offering to those who can avail themselrves an opportunity to engage in a class of recreation that has many advantages both from an individual and collective standpoint. Early in the season a four team sche- dule was played. This terminated just before Christmas and was much enjoyed by those participating. As ice activities draw a few members in that direction, the mid'winter ef- forts have been directed toward im- provement of team play among sen- ior members and coaching of junior players attending. Competition for the Club trophy will be entered into later. Opportunities to engage in prac- tice at outside points have proved an advantage. One team visited Central “Y” Toronto and! enjoyed a practice match with a busineSS men‘s group. On three occasions teams engaged in practice matches; at Pickering Col-1'- ege, Newmarket. 10:0 [0:0 zone: RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO THURSDAY, MARCH 4th, 1937 “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essentials, Liberty; In All Things, Charity” ’I‘O FARMERSâ€"Algike.

Reeve Greene congratulated the Horticultural Seciety for the work already1 accomplished in the Park and at the south entrafhce to the town and pointed out that the Parks ‘ Commission of the council had been‘ active. This year twenty-four trees were planted at the east end of the park, and 2000 trees have been ordi- ered- for planting at the waterworks property. Before these could bEi planted the scrub and underbrush had t6 be cleared up and that was the; Work which the unemployed men had i been doing. “We assuredly have not been working in the dark.” he said.’I On motion of councillor Mills and councillor Alex. Little the Horticul- tural Society was invited to form a town planning committee to work in co-operafion with the council in civic beautification projects. [Town Planning Markham Couiél ‘ ' Committee Will 1 Debates Change Assisi. Cenneii! Relief Officer Councillor P. C. Hill said a great deal of the criticism of the work done at the waterworks came from those who had never visith the prop- erty before the work was done. “They had no idea what it was like down there,” he said. President R. D. Little of the Horti- cultural Society in addressing the council pointed out that it was not the intention of the organization to enter into any controversy, and re- gretted the misunderstanding which followed the protest of Dr. Lillian Langstaff regarding the work done at the. waterworks. He said that at a recent meeting of the Horticultural Society it was agreed to suggest to the council that a town planning committee be appointed. "We are not here to criticize what has been done," he said. “We are thinking of the future.” Councillor H. J. Mills said he felt the work done at the waterworks property was a very great improve- ment. Apart altogether from the fact of giving men work he was sure much had been accomplished. Not; a single tree was cut, but several new trees will be planted where the brush was cleared up. At the regular council meeting on Monday evening the municipal counâ€", cil of Richmond Hill asked the Horti- cultural SOClth‘ to aplTO‘ini' a town planning: committee to work in co- operation with the council in carry- ing out a program of town beautifi- cation. The i‘equest followed a con- ference with a committee from the Horticultural Society headed by presi- dent R. D. Little and including exâ€" reeve T. H. Trench, Paul E. Angle, and Allan Bales. The committee suggested that the council appoint a Town Planning Committee of public spirited citizens who would work with the council in planning- civic projects. It was suggested that the committee be appointed for a term of years. so that work of beautifica- I tion could be continuous over a sub- stantial period. Council members! foresaw some difficulties in the way of a civic appointed committee, but] pointed out they were always glad‘ I of suggestions and welcomed co-op- oration from citizens and organiza- tions and suggested the Harticultural Society which already- has carried out several improvements. appoint such a committee. The action of council met with the approval of the dele- gation. P. E. Angle speaking in support of the suggestion said that the obâ€" ject of such a committee would‘ be to plan civic improvements over a period? of years, so that in. work of beautification there would be con- tinui‘ty along definitely planned lines. Ex-reeve T. H. Trench supported the idea of a Town Planning Com- mission because he said? he appreci- ated members of council had a great many duties as municinal renresentâ€" atives and they should have the co: Operation of the citizens. He felt bv appointing- such a commission there would be more eta-operation from the people generally in town beautification. Allan Bales stated that it was the natural growth under former condi- tions which made the site icfea'l for a bird sanctuarv. WILL BE APPOINTED BY HORTI- CULTURAL SOCIETYâ€"COUN- CIL DEFENDS \VORK DONE AT \VATER \VO‘RKS Vaughan township ratepayers will pay $46,607.55 in County taxation this year which is $4,501 less than was paid in 1936. The reduction in county 1evy~ is due to the taking over by the provincial government of the municipal share of Old Age Pensions and. Mothers’ Allowances. The sav- ing to the County as a result of this action on the part of the province was considerably larger than the re- duction in the County levy. Increas- ed estimates in various departments of the county administration partly offset the substantial tax reduction which should have resulted from the new policy of relieving the munici- palities of the cost of these social services. Vaughan’s contribution to secondary education which is one of the main items of County expendi- ture this year will amount to $22,- 751.83. This was the information in a'communication from the County treasurer read at the regular monthâ€" ly meeting of Vaughan council held at Vellore last Monday. Reeve R. {W. Scott presided and all the memâ€" bers were present. Several deputa- tions regarding roads were heard land the requests will be considered ' when the members make their annual lspring‘ inspection of the roads. As a safe keeping place for town- ship bboks and records a modern safe has been purchased, The_old one has seen many years service and for some time has been in poor shape. The members felt, that a safe to store valuable {ownship records and books was a necessity and have made the purchase of Lhis new equip- ment which is modern in’ every re- spect and of substantial censtruction which will afford the best possible protection. Relief costs for February totalled $2942.19 which althOugh a very subâ€" stantial amount is over $300.00 less than was spent: in February 1936. Members are hopeful that w4th the coming of spring many will be re- moved from the relief rolls. A resolution asking for the resig~ nation of Relief Officer Orr and the appointment of a local man sponsor- ed by councillor W. L. Clark was considered at the regular monthly meeting of Markham township coun- cil on Monday, and after consider- able discussion was laid on the table to be dealt with at a future meeting. In support of the resolution council- lor Clark said he felt there were several men in the township who could do the work, and for the salary paid a full time man could be see cured. In the summer months he felt that the salary paid for relief administration was too high. Reeve Ren..ie and other members of coun- cil were of the opinion that the preâ€" sent time was not opportune to make a change in relief administration, but the resolution will come up for con- sideration at a future meeting. On motion of councillbrs Clark and Reesor the council will hold a spe‘ cial meeting in the near future to discuss the Yonge Street transporta‘ tion problem. Council voted $15.00 to purchase a shield for competitlon at the York County Music Festival to be held in Aurora next month. CharIes Mal- loy and A. Hulse appeared asking for the council’s suppOrt of the festi- val‘ and the members showed ‘.heir appreciation of we project by vot- ing- the grant of $15.00. The shield will be for annual competition. Markham ratepayers will pay ap- proximately one and a half mil! less in County taxation this year, as a result of the action of the Hepburn government in assuming the mun- icipafities’ share of Old Age Penâ€" sions afid Mothers’ A’llowan‘ces. General accounts were passed as follows: Richmond Hill Fire Brigadne attending fires in township in 1936, $70.00; County for Hospitalization $146.37; James Walker, constable satary and mileage, $100.00; A. E. Wifson & Co., insurance, $225.00. Vaughan’s Share Ceunty Taxation Decreased $4500. ‘ounty Levy Down One and a HaIf Mills Surely spring is on the way; just around the corner in fact.

Cashel’s team was good and after a: real tussle the Maroons were again victorious with a score of 2-1. Con- gratulations are extended to the boys who are doing their best in these games and providing- others as well as themselves with some honest-to- goodness sport. Three crows have beem discovered by Mrs. George Dennis early this week. Everything points to an early spring. On Monday night qiute a number of the friends of the “Victoria Square Maroons” witnessed a fast game between UnionviI-le and the “Mzn'oons.w It was a close, clean game and finally ended in a score of 4â€"3 in favor of the “Maroons.” The Y.P.U. held a, skating party at Aurora on Wednesday night.
