Seventh Termi‘ THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO The return of the 1941 council by acclamation makes the seventh term for the Vaughan council without any change in personnel. Reeve Scott amidl all members of c0unci'1 were elected to their “present positions in January 1936 and' have held them continuously ever since. This is a record of continuous service for any council in the history of Vaughan and; in few Ontario municipalities can the record‘ be equalled. In the seven» years Reeve Scott has had‘ but one election; when ‘he was opposed by Robert Docks in 1938. Deputy- Reeve Welid‘rick has had acclamaâ€" tionISI every year, and the members of council had! elections in 1938 and' 1941. s-eiven years Reeve Scott has had but one election, when 'he was opposed by Robert Dooks in 1938. Deputy- Reeve Weldrick has had acclama- tions every year, and the members of council had' elections in 19318 and 1941. Reeve Scott’s seven consecutive years as reeve almost makes a re- cord. It is exceeded only by the first Reeve of the Township. Reeve Gamble who was Reeve continuously from 18150 to 1858. W. C. Patterson was Reeve for six years from 1874 to 1879. George Kellam was Reeve for seven years but not continuously. Vaughan’s nomination meeting was featured by the large attendance and a very fine feeling. There was gen- eral satisfaction with the work of council and the members were highly commended for their service to the municipality. Reeve Scott has intimated that this will likely be his last year and next year promises a lively election. Several new candidates are mention- ed for council. Two took prelimin- ary canters via the nomination route Monday in the persons of Mar- shal-l M-cMurchy and Walter McCut- oheon. Both are exce‘lent men and! are mentioned as likely candidates. In an election next year Sam Mc- Clure would likely be found: among the starters and there is likelihood of several others. W'hile things this year were very quiet n’ext year might develop a real bangâ€"up municipal battle. For deputy-reeve Counciliors Dick and Hostrawser are apt to be contenders. Monday Councillor Hos- trarwse‘r/s‘aid‘ “if there is an: election I will be a candidate for deputy- reeve. Councillor Dick said “if there's an election. I think I‘m the man who should' step.” Reeve Robert W. Scott thanked the electors of Vaughan for their confidence down through: the years and stated that he felt township af- fairs were in excellent shape. You have the report in your hands and have heard the clerk’s review of our finar :ial position and as your Reeve lfI tlh nk it is a very satisfactory re- port. I am well satisfied with it. We didn’t do as much gravelling of our roads as we had hoped, but it was due to war conditions which made it impossible to get the crush- ed gravel until late in the season. Speaking of County affairs he said' the County of York this year for the 9th consecutive year would have a balanced budget and at the end‘ of 1941 would have no indebtedness to the bank. No new debentures had been issued; ‘by the County since 1933 when the payâ€"as-youtâ€"go policy was adopted and since then the deben- ture debt had been reduced by some $642,000. Deputyâ€"Reeve Boynton Weldrick said that while Vaughan was dis- appointed that work was not com- pleted by ,the Toronto and York Roads Commission on the Maple sideroad the delay was due to war conditions which had reduced the Commission budget. Under normal conditions the road would have been constructed by now. Mr. Weldrick referred to the purchase this year by the council of the bank building at Maple for $4000. I think that was good business. Likewise the Deputy-Reeve commended the purâ€" chase of the road maintainer. It has been used to better advantage this year than last, he said. Mr. Wei- drick was nominated for both Reeve and Deputyâ€"Reeve. He said he would be guided by the wishes of the rate- Reeve Robert W. Scott and all members of the 1941 council were returned by acc‘lamations at the an- nual nomination meeting for Vaughan Township held at Vell‘ore Monday afternoon. There was a large attendance of ratepayers but there was definite evidence of strong sentiment in favor of “no election this year”. Reeve Scott has intimated that this will likely be his last year and next year promises a lively election. Several new candidates are mention- ed for council. Two took prelimin- ary canters via the nomination route Monday in the persons of Mar- shall Mchurchy and. Walter McCut- oheon. Both are exce‘lent men» and! are mentioned as likely candidates. In an election next year Sam Mc- Clure would likely be found: among the starters andl there is» likelihood of several others. W'hile things this year were very quiet n‘ext year might d'evelo-p a real bang-up municipal battle. For deputy-reeve Councillors Dick and Hostrawser are apt to be contenders. Mond‘ay Councillor Hos- trarwser/said “if there is an: election I will be a candidate for deputy- reeve. Councillor Dick said‘ “if there’s. an election. I think I‘m the man who should' step.” RERSONNEL OF ENTIRE COUNCIL UNCHANGED IN SEVEN YEARS MAKES A RECORD IN HISTORY OF TOWNSHIP Monday’s nomination meeting was presided over by Rofbert Dooks. a former member of council, and‘ the first speaker calle<i on was James M. McDonald, the clerk and treasâ€" Clerk and Treasurer J. M. McDon- ald! gave a very clear. concise and- interesting review of the Township’s financial position. He stated that the good standing of the municipal- ity was evid‘encedl in the recent sale 'Dh-e receipts from Pheasant Li- censes amountedl to 3669, anout $100 more than last year. Road expendi- ture, $20,386, was much the same as last year. The council had hoped to spend a largér amount on the roads, but experienced difficulty in getting the gravelling d‘one. 111‘61" ocf debentures when prices bidÂ¥ were well over ‘par. Tax arrearsfi are now the lorwest for many years, he said. The total arrears inidlwding 1941 to- dlay amount to $23,000, while some five years ago the arrears amount- ed to over $60,000. To date 86 per cent of the 1941 levy has been paid. Five years ago, in I936, 76 per cent of the current levy was paid‘ by the end of the year. At the beginning of this; year the Township orwnedl some '75 properties, taken over by the municipality for taxes. During the year all have been sold except six. Receipts from dog tax this year a- mounted to $14184, the highest for The North Yonge Radfia‘l profits received by 'the Townshi}? during the year amounted to $1721.03. The deâ€" benture payment amounts to $1400 which leaves a balance to the credit of the ratepayers of the radial area. Pf this surp’lus accumulates it is possible it will be refunded to the ratepayers conlcerned. many years Relief expend'iture took a very“ sub- Ratepayers Seem Well Satisfied With Council Record â€" A Lively Battle Looms For Next Year stamial drop. The cost this year was $3,119, compared with $28,000 spent on relief inu 1936. The gov- el'n.ment assumedl 70 per cent of re- lief costs so the relief this year ac- tually cost the ratepayers of Vaughan less than $1000. After making adequate provision for die- prec‘lation the municipality balance sheet shows a substantial} surplus of assets and on the year the operat- ing sunplus was $1,883.77. Speaking of the War Effort clerk McDonald congratulated the people of Vaughan on their response to the appeals for War Savings, Red' Cross, and other war activities. He had it on the authority of R. H. New” district chairman, that in: the matter of keeping pledges for War Savings, Vaughan .Township was right at the top Of the list. payers. If there should) be an elec- tion he would be standing for Reeve, but if there was no election he had} no desire to cause one at this time and was quite satisfied to retain the office of dreputyâ€"reeve. Councillor J‘. A. Dick said' this was his 7th year in council" and‘ he thought if there was any stepping- up he should be the one to do it. However he didn't think there was need for an election this year and at a time like this the money could” well he saved for other uses. I’d’ rather buy Victory fbondls than spend money on an election he said. I’m satisfiul to stay where I am for another year. “I feel that we have accomplished' something since I have been on this council. We have made purchases of equipment which I think have been good investment and? they were bought without increases in taxes. I would) like to have seen the gravel spread a little farther Councillor John: Hostraster point- ed! out that snow removal costs last year were about $3000. He said' the township facedl considerable ex- .pemditure in the not far distant fu- ture for culverts. The T0wn's'hip was in good financial shape, he said and for this he gave credit to the tax- payers Your co-operation has made this possible. He appealed for a continuation of this co-operatiOn and good will. We must all work to- gether hand} in hand he said for the good“ of all. In the past there has been too much thought of self, and that is why we have wars today. Constructive criticism and‘ sugges- tions of the raterpayersI is always welcome and‘ have been a big- help in conducting the towmshi-p business. If there is an election I will be standing for deputy-reeve said Mr. Hostra’wser. this year. I don’t just approve of the way it was done. It should haVe been spread out more. James H. Robson spoke of the ex~l penvdviture which the towns-hip faces to replace a considerable number of concrete culverts which were built twenty years or so ago. These did not have sufficient reinforcement and have cracked and‘ must be re- placed. There are three or four such jobs we must face this year, he said. He commended; the rate- payers fo-r their response to the council’s appeal for a p're-payment of taxes. The response Mr. Robson thought showed" it was appreciated by the taxpayers and should’ be re- peated! another year. If we can: give the taxpayers the benefit of this in- terest saving it is all to the gooti Mr. RObSOn‘ stressed the importance of the annuah school meeting in the school section. Education costs make up one of the largest items on your tax bill, and yet the annual school meeting is often very poorly attends- ed. At many it is clifficult to get the necessary quorum. He urged his hearers to make an' effort to attend the annual schoo-l meeting next Wed- mesday. Sam McClure, unsuccessful council candidate of last year said’ that he felt his cand’id‘a-ture was justified: in that it gave the people the oppor- tunity of expressing an opinion on the two year term. The rejection of that proposal he said justified his causing an election. Marshal} McMurchy, son of the late Duncan McFMurchy, a form-er member of Vaughan Council], made a fine speech and' a good impres- sion or» the nomination audience but said he would not be a candidate this year. At some future date he saidI he hoped to svtand for election and judging by the applause he will get a good reception when he does. Mr. McMurchy commended the work of the council. They have done an excellent job, he said. , Walter MoCutcheon of Kleinlburg was nominated' but was' not present when calla? on to address the meet- img' but he is mentioned as: a possible candidate in some future election. Phone 154 Thornhill I thank the people of Vaughan for their renewal of confidence in me expressed in the acclamation ac- corded me on Monday last as Councillor for the com- ing year. It is a matter of satisfaction to me and my associates that the Township business and finances are in such excellent shape, and we are glad it is appreciated by the ratepayers. I extend to you all the Compliments of the Season with the hope that 1942 holds in store better and happier days than the past year. It has been my privilege to enjoy over a long period of years the support and confidence of the rate- payers of Vaughan Township. I appreciate the honor and respOnsibility of this trust, and I will endeavour in the coming year, as in past years, to give the town- ship business my very best attention. In these times of war many new problems are to be faced, but I am sure that the people of Vaughan will face them in the spirit of duty, and we will all unite our best efforts in the great cause of winning Victory.
