Village Counciilors Handle Varied Items While most of the time of the last meeting of the Richmond Hill Vill- age Council was taken up with a dis- cussion of the extensibn of the presâ€" ent High School a considerable num- ter of routine and semi-routine mat- ters were dealt with. While‘ at a recent 'meeting dealing with town planning, it was decided that all new buildings on sub-divis- ions must be at least four feet from the lot line, council amended this so that properties on Yonge Street would be excepted from this provis- ion. The re-numbéring of streets was discussed" and it was agreed unani- mously that this shOuld be laid over until next year. , The report of the Toronto Trans- portation Commission on the opera- tion of the diesel busses from Rich- mond Hill to the city was received with approval.

Richmond Hill today has its own version of “Enquire With- in.” Only instead of being bound in cardboard covers it wears a business suit and walks, talks and bowls. RUSSELL LYNETT, pictured above, Richmond Hill’s Vill- age Clerk and Treasurer, is “Mr. Knowâ€"it-all” to a lot of citizens for to hnn come, in the course of his daily work, questions conâ€" cerning practically every phase of life in the village. Whether it is an enquiring reporter seeking information about local af- fairs in order to write a story, an irate citizen kicking about the amount of his water bill, or any of a thousand and one other po.nts, each and every one gets dealt with in'the cheerful, human way that distinguishes “Curly,” as everyone knows him. Per- haps he doesn’t know all the answers, but he can usually tell where they can be found. No doubt familiarity with his district helps a lot â€"â€" and he should have plenty of that, for he is the fourth generation of Lynetts to be intimately associated with Richmond H111 and its aiTairs. He was torn in the Hill in the old house next to Craigie‘s store which is presently being torn down.

Over a third of the property in the village has changed hands in that period, he says. At the end of 1941, just before he took office. there were 505 10cal taxpayers. At the end of 1948 he had 68( tax bills to send out. His first billings for water covered 31C consumers â€"â€" today there are 531.
