In spite of the decline it was a big year for building in the town- ship 325 permits totalling 81,227,- 205 having been issued. The fig- A test case of considerable im- portance to the township was set- tled when William D. Baker of Richvale and Douglas Flear of Jacques Avenue were found guilty in York County police court of an infraction of Vaughan Township’s y-law governing building restric- tior.s. Baker was fined $10 and costs while sentence was suspended in Flear’s case. Charges were laid by H. C. H. Miller, township building inspec- tor, 0n the instructions of the township council. Giving evidence in the Baker case, Mr. Miller stated that he had taken out a permit for a garage and dWelling. .The garage was built and Baker started to occupy it as a residence in September, 1948. In November of the same year he was given official notice to vacate, as the building did not comply with regulations laid down by the township for dwelling pur- poses. He was given until Blst October, 1949, a year later, to make arrangements. On November 14, 1949, said Mr. Miller, Baker was sent a letter asking the time at which he in- tended to vacate, but made no writ- ten reply. Finally the summons was issued. In the case of Flear, the build- ing inspector's evidence was that he had been given a permit for a garage only in July, 1948. This was occupied as a dwelling and. as THORNHILL NEWS CORRESPONDENT â€"- MRS. C. H. BOLTON Telephone Thornhill 239.] Thursday ev- .

Residential permits made up 85% of the year’s total, amounting to $1,047, 320., reports H. C. H. Mill- er, the township’s building inspec- tor. Commercial permits amount- ed to $163,385, with sundries totall- ing $16,500.‘ In 1941, the first complete year in which building permits were issued in the township, value of new buildings was $50,100.

Council in the Baker case, notification to cease using it for that purpose was given, with a year being al- lowed to vabate. Flear, he stated, had replied saying that it was his intention to build a residence in 1950 and that he would take out the necessary permit at that time. Subsequently, however, he started to build an extension to the garage, and without a permit, consequent- ly a summons was issued in this case also, Vaughan Township Council, of- ficers of the municipality say, has permitted temporary occupancy of sub-standard buildings in a num- ber of cases, with the understand- ing that construction of a house which would comply vith building regulations would be commenced within a reasonable time. As it was found that in spite of this certain people were continuing to make use of sub.standard property for residential purposes the test cases were launched. The by-law which regulates con- struction was passed early in 1948 and at that time a copy was sent to every ratepayer. Later a sess- ion of council was held at which any ratepayer might appear and make suggestions and comments. As a result of this amendments were made and finally the regula- ting by-law was aproved after a hearing by the Ontario Municipal Board.
