Orr reported refief costs for Blarch at $1,990, which is approximately $1,000 less than \vas spent for refief in llarch 1936.

The Toronto Transportation Com- mission operates the North Yonge Railway under agreeifient with the four mimicipalities of North York, Markham, Vaughan and Richmond Hill, and the Markham township re- solution seeks to have the whole a- greement revived for consideration with the hope of ascertaining whethâ€" er the recurring deficits are due to too high operating costs or to poor patronage of the railway. An investigation into charges made for the operation of the North Yonge Radials by the T.T.C. is asked for in a resolution passed by Markham township council at the regular monthly meeting held at Unionville last Monday. The resolution ispon- sored by Councillors W. L. Clark and Harry Barber states “Whereas the North Yonge radials have been oper- ating with a deficit and whereas the charges of the T.T.C. for operation appear too high, be it resolved that this council go on record as favoring an investigation into charges made for operation of the line.” Think Operating Costs Too Highâ€" Relief Costs in Township On The Decrease Markham council Suggests Study Radial Expense 70:0] 0:19} RICHMOND HILL.

These are days when thinking peOple are much concerned about the prosâ€" pect of peace and it is felt that all possible should be done to educate our people about world conditions. While the great majority of the peo- ple of the world want peace We are confronted with the spectacle of prac- tically all the nations of the world engaged in a mad race in armaments, which, according to many observers, must eventually lead to another world war. What are we doing about it? ‘ Another world war would of necessâ€" ity touch every homeâ€"how can we] avert such a catastrophe? All the‘ citizens of Richmond Hill and sur-J rounding district are cordially invit- ed to attend this meeting. NOTED SPEAKER COMING HERE TO PEACE MEETING Now a County Road A communication was read from the Toronto ai.d York Roads Comâ€" mission advising that on April 151: the Maple sideroad from Maple west to the Weston road was taken Over as a County Highway. The road from Richmond Hill to Maple was already a County road, so now the sideroad all across the township is a county highway. Improvement to the road will be made as the conâ€" struction program of the County Commission permits. Assist Coronation Celebration J. Varle'y and G. Masters appeared asking- a grant towards cost of the Coronation Celebration to be held in Richmond Hill on May 12th. All chil- dren attending the celebration will receive souvenir medals and as many from Vaughan will attend the coun- cil made a donation if $10.00. Hospitalization costs for March took a sharp increase and totalled $254.00 as compared with $133 for February. This item of expenditure however is largely beyond the con- trol of council except in keeping a strict check on those who receive hospital care. Road accounts passed totalled $711.50. The reeve and coun- cil members will soon be making their annual inspection of township roads and laying out the work for the year. A considerable increase in road improvement is anticipated this year. ' 328.44 and there were. 106 families receiving municipal aid. The accounts were passed at the regular meeting of the municipal council held at Vel- lore on Monday when Reeve R. W. Scott preside-d and all the members were present. Members of council expressed satisfaction with the grad- ual lessening of relief costs. The re- lief costs in February were $2,969.49 which was $131.36 more than in Mar. and now with the coming of spring with warm weather and increase in demand for labor Relief Officer Orr and members of council anticipate still further substantial reductions. The large reduction as compared to the same month a year ago was particularly pleasing to council as an indication of diminishing demand for public assistance for township fam- ilies.

He suggested no assessment on new buildings for the first year, 25 per cent for the second year, 50 pelj cent for the third year and full It was decided to proceed as soon as possible with the work of paint- ing the waterworks tank. Tenders were called for the work and the con- tract let at a cost of $495.00. T. Binns, representing the local veterans organization askedI council to purchase coronation decorations. Council bought one dozen shields at a cost of $8.00. There was considerable discussion regarding the discontinuance of re- lief and‘ meals for transients. Relief last year was discontinued on Apnil lst but this year it will be continued until April 15th and meal tickets will be given transients for at least an- other month. Council members a- greed that While the cost was be- tween $25 and $30 a month it was preferable to have this expense than to have householders continually bothered by transients asking for handy-outs. It was agreed to proceed at once with the painting of the flag- pole at the war memorial. Pool room license was granted to W. C. Savage new proprietor of the Richmond Hill billiard rooms. The A. E. Jupp 00. were awarded the tender for the oiling of the streets. Councillor Little, chairman of the roads commission stated that 5,800 gallons used last yeai- was not quite enough and that a little more should be purchased: this year to make a real job. It was agreed that a double strip should be oiled' on Centre Street east where there is an exceptionally heavy traffic. The possibility of doing permanent im- provement on certain sections of streets each year was discussed at some length but no action taken. Charles Malloy, deputy-reeve of Aurora interviewed the council and asked support for the York County Music Festival which will be held- in Aurora April 12th. 13th, 14th and 15th. He pointed out that the aim of the organization was to encour- age musical talent and that the pro- ject had the support of most: of the municipalities in this district. On motion of councillor C. Nelson the council voted $15.00 to purchase a shield for annual competition at the festival. T. H. Trench and. L. H. Clement appearing on behalf of the Agricul- tural Society were assured of the usual grant from the municipality. It was decided to commence the garbage collection next Tuesday, April 13th and tenders will be called for the supplying of the truck for the monthly collection. The Salvation Army was granted the privilege of holding a tag day here on May 24th. A party in receipt of relief during the winter appeared asking for seeds to plant this spring. The list asked for amounted to over $50.00 but council did not consider the request. The Reeve said that in years past the council had assisted those with small gardens to secure seed to plant but certainly were not going into the business wholesale. village and it is well known that the duties in connection with this re- sponsibility have made severe de- mands upon his time. The Reeve suggested that someone else be ap- pointed in his stead but there was no apparent rush on the part of the members of council to assume the job. In fact some members frankly stated that they would not accept the responsibility and the pOSSilbility of naming a paid official was suggest- ed but no action taken. In making the announcement the Reeve stated that there was a lot of work in the administration of relief and he felt that someone else should take it over now, as along with the other duties of the reeveship it made too great demands on his time. i The first event to mark the Col‘on- ‘ ation of His Majesty King George VI was held in Richmond Hill last Friâ€" day evening when a.
