' _.1N__ "In Essentials, Unity ; Vaughan Ratepayers Debate Merits of a Game Preserve Following a lengthy discussion and the hearing of a large deputation of ratepayers headed by James Devins of Kleinlburg relative to the best means of regulating hunting in Vaughan Township the council at last Monday’s regular meeting de- cidled to call a public meeting in the near future for the further discusâ€" sion of the question. It is hoped that. council can secure Mr. D. J. Taylor, deputyâ€"minister of Game and Fish- eries to address the Vaughan rate- paycrs on all the angles of the ques- tion‘. If Mr. Taylor is unable to at- tend some other competent official fiom the department will be secured to give the Vaughan ratepayers the details of all the regulations. ‘ residents. Mr. Devins and a representative deputation numlbering about twenty pointed! out that Game Preserves have been established in Markham, King, Albion and practically all other surrounding municipalities, and that as a result Vaughan was now overâ€" run with hunters. Under existing conditions farmers are having diffi- culty owing to lack of regulations governing the hunters. Several of the deputation voiced complaints of the action of many of those who come out from the city for a day’s hunting. They pointed out there was little or no difficulty with township While some of the hunt- ‘ers in» fact probably the majority of them, are goodi fellows, who respect property rights and' are careful, there is an element which pr0vid'cs con- siderable trouble. “They think they own the country,” one farmer said, “and- they get quite saucy and‘ say We can’t stop them.” Signs pro- hibiting trespassing and hunting have been ignored, fencesv have been destroyed and livestock has been in- jured. A case was related of one farmer who had' a valuable cow shot in the eye, and‘ another farmer lost two lambs. “They come right under the signs and pay no attention to them,” Mr. Devins stated‘. Clerk J. M. McDonald pointed out that if it was so desired the tow ‘s‘hip could be made a game preserve the same as neighbouring- townships. Under the game preserve regulations hunting is forbidden except under a special license granted’ by the munâ€" icipality. The controlling body which in most cases is the township coun~ cil assisted by a number of inter- ested ratepayers may issue licenses for the annual pheasant shoot. The number to “be issued must be not less than one hundred, the open seaâ€" son may be for three days and the fee is one dollar per day. For resi- dents the fee is the nominal 25 cents. The feature of the game preserve which did not seem to meet with favor among members of the depu- tation was that those who secure nonâ€"resident pheasant hunting licâ€" enses are entitled to hunt for rab- bits from November 1st to February 28th. While some objected to this regulation others contended that rab- bit hunting was now going full swing and! that it might just as well be controlled and limited to those who had the proper licenses. Under the game preserve the farmer is entitled to erect signs to prohibit hunting on his farm, but there was objection again to the regulation that the far- mer who so posts signs on his farm is himself barred from hunting. If the Township is made a game preserve the Department of Game and Fisheries would appoint twenty- five game wardens to assist in enâ€" forcing the regulations. The suggestion was made that the township provide signs for the farm»- ers prohibiting hunting and that this plan be tried fbefore embarking- on the game preserve project. The mat- ter of proper enforcement was seen as a difficulty with this plan, and also that sorne farmers might not want to prohibit hunting on their farms. There is the possibility that the hares if allowed to multiply un- molested would do consideralble dam- age to farms. Just what final action will be taken will await the holding of the public meeting when all angles will be presented to Vaughan ratepayers by qualified authorities. However it is evident that the citizens of the town- ship are convinced something must be done to remedy existing condi- tions. “The west side of Vaughan Township is a game paradise,” said Mr. Devins. “I don’t know anywhere Public Meeting Will Be Called In Near Future When Deputy Minister of Game and Fisheries Will Be Invited To Speakâ€"Citizens Demand That Something Be Done To Regulate Hunting In Township RICHMOND HILLj ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 12th, 1939. : In Non-essentials. Liberty; In All things, Charity" in York County where there is more wild life, and we want to preserve it. If something is not'done soon we will have none left.” It was stated illegal shooting of pheasants was common. They come under the guise of rabbit hunting but it is really pheasants many of them are after it was said. The case was cited of a Toronto hunter who shot a rabbit, skinn-ed' it and concealed- a pheasant in the rabbit skin. Many of those who come out from the city to hunt are of foreign extraction and they are the worst offenders. ‘Mr. Hoover who manages the Thompson farm north of Woodubridge said! it was not safe to go about the farm. ‘Mr. George Irwin said that dogs had some rabbits cornered in a ravinie where his stock was and when he went to order them off they said“ they didn't have to get out uni? less he had signs up. Mr. Irwin called the police and the hunters were charged with trespassing. Mr. Henry said he thought something should 'be done to restrict hunting in the township. Mr. Lex McKenzie of Woodlbridge who accompanied the deputation said he felt the present problem, could best be met by enlisting the co-op- eration of hunters and} township citâ€" izens. In: the main he said sports- men were good citizens and! did not wish to have the game hunted iI- legally nor to destroy property. Un~ fortunately a few offenders spoiled it for the good ones. He heartily approved of the idea of having a speaker from the Department ex- plain the regulations. A vote taken at the request of the council showed the deputation to be very undecided) as to the best means of handling the problem. Fitve voted' in favor of establishing a game preserve, and| 7 for the township to provide signs for posting throughout the municipality. Several were un- decided and did not vote. Deputy-Reeve Boynton Weldrick who was presiding at the time ow- ing to the absence of Reeve Scott thanked the members of the deputa- tion for their attendance, and he hoped there would )be a large and representative attendance when the public meeting is called. It is a question which has been in the mind of council for some time, andl we are very anxious to do whatever is in the ‘best interests of the people of the township, he said.

Under the new Act the High School Board of Richmond Hill will be made up of four members, three appointed by the village coun- cil and one member appointed by the CountSr Council. Until a few years ago Richmond Hill had a Board of Education, six elected and six ap- pointed who administered the affairs of both schools. This was changed to two boards: of six members each, one for public school and one for the High School. Now the High School Board is reduced to four members. At present all members of the Pub- lic School Board are elected by the ratepayers of the school section. Dis- cussing- the subject Councillor Alex Little expressed the opinion that ‘members of the High School Board \should be elected the same as the Yonge St. aliéiloufiorest Rd.

This will make Frank Schisler the one new member of the 1939 High School Board. In considering the year’s work it was intimated that sidewalk conâ€" struction for the year will likely in- clude Lorne Avenue, Church Street north from Centre Street, and Ben. son Avenue. This is an ambitious sidewalk program but the members felt the need urgent and will endea- vour to make financial provision for the work. At the suggestion or counâ€" cil‘lor Little the council will investiâ€" gate the possibility of purchasing a large cement mixer. “If we had a good mixer we could» reduce our Sid;â€" walk costs considerably,” he said. Allan W. Walker was rel-appoint- ed as auditor for' the books of the village treasurer, the Board of Edn- cation and the Library Board at the same salary as- last year, $100.
