Greene occupying the chair for the first time since his recent illness. H. H. MacKay represented the Women’s Institute. The Lions Club was represented by its pres- ident, Mel Maltby and the Busi- ness Men’s Association 'by Presiâ€" dent Archie Murray.

Local Organizations Join In 1951 Council Inaugura Vaughan TWp. Police Hunt Deer, Bicycles A spot of’ varxety marked activ- ities of Vaughan Township’s police force during the Christmas season, with hunting of two kinds featured. Spotted by Larry Crouch of 'I‘hornhill was one of a pair of Beer which have been seen in that area on numerous occasions recently. It appeared to have a broken leg. Chief Constable William Skidmore, Constable Bone of the township force, together with Provincial Game Warden Armitage and Harry Meighan searched for the animal for many hours, finally discovering and destroying it. The other hunt was for two bi- cycles stolen from the Scout Hut at Thornhill. Acting on a tip, pol- ice found one in an hour and re- covered the other the next morn- ing. They had been hidden among trees and s‘hrub'bery. D. G. McAllister, Richmond Hill, has been awarded a Silver Medal and ,Seal Certificate for the pro- duction of his Guernsey cow, Glen- orchy Sonia of 3,864 lbs, of fat in seven tested lactations, for an average of 552 lbs.

All members agreed and will appoint committtees at the next regular meeting. Considerable time was spent by councillors in discusing the genefâ€" a1 principles of assessment and in studying proposals to make the distribution of taxation between farm and suburban property more equitable, It is likely that a spec- ial meeting will be called to go fur- ther into the matter. Commercial pig-raising it. the township was also discussed, with Clerk Charles Hoover being in- structed to prepare a by-law res- tricting it in .cettain areas. Pollard of the Richmond Hill Pub- lic School Board. Superintendent L. J. Roy of the Hydro-Electric Commission was also a. guest. As an evidence of interest in the younger generation, and in order to encourage an interest in local government, Reeve Greene had in- vited two students from the Pub- lic ‘School and two from the High School to be present. They failed, however, to put in an appearance; Opening the inaugural proceed- ings, Rev. C. B, Brethen called for two minutes’ silence in memory of Dr. Frank Hogg, who died on Monday. The tribute was fallow- ed by scripture reading and pray- ers. - In his address Reeve Greene ex- tended thanks to various organiz- ations for their co-operation dur- ing the past year. He named par- ticularly the Women's Institute and those groups which had re- linquished their quarters in the Municipal Hall to provide accom- modation badly needed for surplus school population. He expressed congratulations to Deputy Reeve Tom Taylor on being the first to hold that office in Richmond Hill's history and welcomed Councillor Ken Tomlin back to the council table. ‘ Following Reeve Greene’s adâ€" dress all members of the council and visitors spoke briefly.

After a similar discussion some months ago the council asked the bank’s head office to institute a six day service instead of the three day one now being given. No ac- tion having been taken councillors ‘expressed their determinatitm to follow the matter further. In a lengthy meeting which started off the 1950 sesâ€" sions members of Vaughan Township Council handled a large amount of routine business and discussed at length problems connected with the rapid growth of their munici- paiity. Requirements of the municipal- ity with regard to water were talked over at length, with Reeve Hostrawer, Councillor James Rob- son and others indicating their be- lief that the problem was one too big to be dealt with on a piece- meal basis. Headed by S. Griffiths, a deputa- tion of five residents from Jackes Avenue presented a petition asking for the provision of water on a local improvement basis. The sit- uation was urgent, the council was told with a number of houses hav- ing no water supply at all, It was necessary to carry drinking water in in cans, said Mr. Griffiths, and those who had no cars were ser- CounciITurns Down Tomlin Suggestion For Building Inspectors Replacement “During the coming year I plan to urge that this coun- cil confer with neighbouring municipalities with the view of extending the borders of our municipality” said Councillor K. Tomlin at the inaugural meeting of Richmond Hill coun- cil Wednesday evening. Councillor Tomlin made the an-nouncement as he urged council to advertise for a building inspector, rather than re-appoint Councillor Wesley Middleton who has served in this position for many years wifihout remuneration. “We need the additions” he said “to provide for residential and industrial ex- pansion.” This, he claimed, would mean a great deal more work for a building inspector and he thought the appointment should go to someone not a member of council. Councillor Perkins supported the Tomlin suggestion as he said he didn’t think it fair to ask a coun- cillor to enforce the regulations of the building by-law, .“That doesn’t bother me one bit,” said Councillor Middleton. “I don’t mind telling a gnan to do what’a.right_”,... He ,he had un- dertaken the duties of building in- spector in order to save money for the municipality. I am glad to do it as a matter of public service” he said, “but if you don’t think I’m doing a good job appoint somebody else.” After this pronouncement the members quickly gave unanimous support to a motion by Reeve Occasions and Corsages; Aurora 429R24 Aurora 88R13 Richmond Hill 421W Richmond Hill 394W Willowdale 3488 Maple 156W Telephone 490 WA. 4338 iously handicapped. The deputa- tion also asked for improvement to the road, which they asserted was in very bad condition. Following the regular meeting members of both Markham and Vaughan township councils held a joint meeting, at which further consideration of problems of the area relating to water, garbage and fire protection were discussed with- out any definite conclusions being reached. The meeting stemmed from an application. from the trustees of Thornhill requesting both town- ships to set up a fire and Water area and arrange for municipal garbage collection. Charles Hoov- er, clerk of Markham Township, said that he had advised the Thornhill trustees to secure advice and information regarding their fire protection needs from the On- tario Fire Marshal’s Department. “We should get together with Richmond Hill, Aurora, and other points to see if we could not set up a joint incinerator,” said Cauncillor James Robson of Vaughan. He and others pointed out that the present dump system was fast outliving its usefulness. Greene that Councillor Middleton be re-appointed- Deputy-Reeve W. J. Taylor, in the dhair for the discussion, paid tribute to the service rendered over the years by Councillor Middleton. “There’s no doubt,” he said that ‘by serving in this office Without remuneration Councillor Middleton has saved the village many hun- dreds of dollars."
