SPRING FLO0DS CAUSE MUCH DAMAGE TO VAUGHAN ROADS Flood damage to Vaughan Town- sh-ip roads and: bridges this spring was quite serious, it was reported at the regular council meeting on Monday. Many bridges have been damaged beyond“ repair and will have to {be replaced and many sec- tions of roadway were ‘ washed out. Many of ‘the structures: diam;- aged are lange concrete ones anldI their replacement will mean a large expenditure. The flood damage was more extensive this spring than for many years, according to Road Snips erintendent W. O. McDonald. The large cement Reamuan bridge on the Langstaff si-deroad is one of the damaged ones, and at least three are out on» the second concession. The same condition prevails over the entire township andI the repairs and‘ replacements present a duiftficplrt problem to the 1942 council. The contract recently was let to A. Cook of Barrie for 10,000 yams of grave]: for the townshq'p roads this year. The contract price of $1.10 per yard laid Mime roads Council estimated the road‘ exâ€" penditure for the year at $30,000 ‘but the provincial Department of Highways to meet war n66d's is par- inig township estimates in' some cases as high as fifty per cent. It is therefore likely Vaughan even with the added] work resultant from spring floods will 'have to carry on with a. considerably reduced ’bud‘g-et. Complains Speed Limit Not Enforced W. Layzell of Hunt Avenue, Richmond Hill, wrote the municipal council strongly protesting against lack of enforcement of the speed laws in the village. The communi- cation was read at Monday night‘s council meeting and members of council agreed“ that undoubtedly there were many infractions of the speed regulations, and Councillor Neal was instructed to seek the coâ€" operation of the county police. Some flime ago the County Police check- ed.1 up on Speeders in the village and there was a notable improvement in traffic conditions. The council will endeavour to have the County Police. resume the checking of Speeder-s! in the village. Writing to the council Mr. Layzell saidI: “For the last eighteen months I have kept my silence whfi-le busses, trucks and passenger cars speed through Richmond Hill at a high rate in utter disregard of the signs ‘Speed’ Limit 30 M‘il-es Per Hour, Strictly Enrfo-nced)’. Apparently the law enforcement in our town has been neglected so long that it is an open farce, and bus, truck and passenger dlrivers know they can drrive as fast and as recklessly as they please without fear of the law and! without personal regard for the rights and safety of others. 19 it necessary to wait until some child‘ is killedl before the people of Richmond Hill raise their voices' and demand that our town council rigid‘ly enforce the smeed laws?” The Story of Easter by the Girls’ Auxiliary, assisted by“ members of the Sundlay School will be present- ed] irn‘the basement of the Presbyâ€" terian Church, Richmond: Hill‘, on Friday evening, Aprih 10th at 7.30 o’clock.

VAUGHAN ASSESSMENT INCREASED THIS YEAR BY $55,000 Many Large Bridges Will Have to be Replacedâ€"Council Aims to Offer Tax Pre-Payment Discountâ€"Township Pays Claim For Goat Killed by Dogs EASTER PAGEANT was considered- a" very reasonable one. In adldition to this the mun- icipality pays for the gravel which will be taken from Bradshaw’s pit. The council1 at Monday’s meeting .paid' the first claim for a. goat killed by dogs. The goat along with two sheep belongimg to T. R. Birch»- anan, lot 26, con. 2” was killed on March 24th and‘ 25th by dogs which were later shot and! identified. The council paid $470 for 1 sheep, $11 for the other and) $5.00 for the goat. Action will be taken to re- cover the amount from the dog owners. The province ad‘vised‘ that from May 151: relief woula' be on a fifty- fifLy basis, so that while relief exâ€" penditure for the year will likely be down the cost to the township may be high-er than last year. In 1941 the total expenditure for re- lief was $2,960.84 of which the town- ship’s share was $674.88. The‘ esti- mate for relief this year is 324% and of this the township’s share will be $999.56, an increase of some- $324. Village councib in regular session Monday night awarded the contract for the regular collection of garbage to Albert Chapman for $110 for the season, the same price as last year. The asses-501's of the municipalâ€" ity have returned m-eir rolls «and. the total assessment: shows an 1n~ crease over last year of about $515,- 000, accounted1 for entireiy by na- tural- growth. The counciL are en; dleavouring to have tax bills- in the hands; of the ratepayers as e-arly_as possible and) it is possible a pre- payment discount ma)r be offered. Last year bhere was a short preâ€" payment periodI and it proved very popular throughout the township. Village Council Regular Session The Chinese Relief Society was given permission to holdI a Tag Day here May 30th. , “Clerk Russell 'Lynie‘tt was instruct- ed' to strictly enforce the discount date on water accounts. The last diislcount date is shown plainly- on every bill and the clerk’s instruc- tions are that: there will positively (be no discount after that date. Miss Anderson, Elizabeth Street, applied for a kennel License, but the application was refused as council felt it was not desiralble to issue such a license in the town. Accounts passe-d4 includedI $50 for a typewriter and $10.50 for a new desk for the clerk's oftfice. The Department of Welfare adiâ€" vised that future relief costs will be shared‘ on a fifty-fifty basis with- the municipality. W. H. LayzelLe was paid $7.25 to reimburse him for cost of repairing hi-s d'rain which was damaged? by village workmen. The Navy League was granted permission to hold a tag' day Sept. 19th.
