A further step towards the re- organization of Thornhill Business Men’s Association was taken on Tuesday night when seventeen men met in Thornhill Public Library, following a preliminary meeting held last week. Business Men At Thornhill Elect Officers A discussion of the advisability of reviving the organization cul- minated in an unanimous vote to do so. Temporary ofiicers were elected and will hold their appoint- ments until a full general meeting is held. In the meantime they will proceed with organizational work. A lively discussion took place when the site of the new school projected for the Lake Wilcox area was considered. “No word yet” was about the best information gleaned from the talk-fess, in which the difficulties of arriving at a, conclusion because of a number of factors were emphasized. nurses, Miss Petrie plans to make contact with as many women’s or- ganizations as'possible at the ea;- liest opportunity. Mrs. Crossley sustained a frac- tured jaw and broken teeth. Nev- ille Thomas, 10, of Carrville Road, one of the Ehildren in her car, Suf- fered a broken collarbone. E. E. Stevens of R. R. 1 Gormley, had his scalp lacerated. Property damage amounted to about $700. When a gravel truck driven by E. A. Sallans of 'Eemorestw‘lle drove on to No. 11 from No. 7 Highway John MacPherson of Langstaff, going north on Yonge, was unable to stop on the icy road and, in the resulting collision, Mrs} MacPherson suffered scalp lacera- tions, bruises and shock. The car was a total wreck with damage es- timated by Constable R. Seyffert, who investigated both accidents, at $1,500. . Date of the next meeting was left in the hands of the officers and committee. While a taxi driven by Mrs. Maude Crossley was taking three children to school it was in collision with a. car driven 'by C. L. Beair- stow of R. R. 1 Gormley, at the junction of Bayview and No. 7 Highway. The car driven by Be- airstow was going east on No. 7 and that driven by Mrs. Crossley going south on Bayview. Both were unable to stop in time. Vern Griffin was elected as lmes. ident, with Bruce Robinson as vice- president. Adam Reiter was elect- ed secretaryâ€"treasurer. Bart Ed- wards, H.

STUN DEN Gives Council “Thank-You" Appreciation of the interest and co-operation expressed by fellow- members of Whitchurch Township Council was expressed by hesi- dent E. L. McCarron. He told members that, in his capacity of township councillor, he had receivÂ¥ ed a friendly and willing response to his presentation of local prob- lems. Fire protection was discussed at some length, with figures on the cost thereof being considered. Industrialization of the area was dealt with at some length, with Mr. McCarron pointing out the ad- vantages of local industry, both from an employment and taxation angle. Early contsruction of a new school in the district managed by the No. 1 School Area Board, Markham and Vaughan, compris- ing the former school sections of Thornhill, Thornlea, Richvale and Langstafl" is anticipated. Farms in Markham Township carried 62.5% of .the as- sessment, with residential and commercial assessments am- ounting to only 36.7%, members of a large delegation from Markham Township Federation of Agriculture told members of tOWnship council this week. The delegation submitted figures to prove its contention that “gross inequalities” exist- ed in the present assessment rates. “My farm’s assessed about 50 per cent of value and these little householders only about 10 per cent, I want to see them the same,” retorted another of the visiting “ Gross Inequalities ” In Twp. Farm Assessments Markham Council Told “It’s the general assumption that farmers don’t pay much in- come tax,” continued Mr. James. “The Little Joe’s have their taxes taken off before they ever get their pay.” "It’s all you little fellows who make the big school costs,” return- ed Stewart Rumble, farmer from Headford. It was stated by Messrs. Scott- and Rowland that in 1950 County valuators used 1940 levels for vals uation purposes and the factor showed that assessed value of farms in Markham Township was 542% of actual value while resi- dential and commercial properties were assessed at 39% of actual value. ' "‘As I’ve stated before," said Reeve Timbers, “we’re changing from a, rural to an urban munici- pality, 'but the assessors aren’t changing with the times. These County valuators tell us that if our local assessors had things Where they ought to be, we would not be in this mess.” New School To Be Built On Scott Sub-division “Well you must remember, it’s quite possible these small house- holders could produce some good figures too,” commented Councill- or James. Tentative approval has been gi- ven by provincial authorities to the purchase of ten acres on the Scott sub-division, on the west side of Yonge Street between Langstdfl’ and Ridhvale. An ofi‘er to purchase has been made by the School Area Board, which has already interviewed an architect and has been given plans of a pro~ posed new school with five rooms Shipyards in. Britain had a total ‘of 330 merchant vessels of 2,044,- 688 tons gross under construction at the end of 1950. 118 of these ships were for export. The world tonnage of merchant ships under construction at the end of Detem- bet was 4.8 million of which Brit- ish yards accounted for 42.8 per cent.

Hooper. “If a. farm is sub-divided it may mean another two hundred children and a new school is need- ed Lâ€" the farmer’s stuck for more taxes than the price he got for his land when he sub-divided it,” he concluded. Cquncillor Hooper told the dele- gation that it wasn’t all schoms that were making for increased taaies, and cited’the fact that Mark- ham Township today is in need of more office accommodation and added police force. Reeve Timbers told. the delega- tion that the county had appointed a. County Assessor and it might be some time before it would be known just what steps were to be taken to ovecome some of the ex- isting inequalities. “Those little fellows you’re talk- ing about are often ready to boast about the big pay they get for the little time spent," interjected a. Cedar Grove farmer. “Are'you willing to have your house .assessed the same as the little fellow and be freed of the land tax?” queried Councillor Hoo- per. “That's right, the sub-dividér takes off the gravy and the town- ship and the little fellows are stuck,” agreed Reeve Timbex.. and a play-room. Construction is expected to start by May 15, with the school, it is hoped, being ready by Sep- tember. - The Board, at its meeting on February 6, spent much time dis- cussing scho'ol accommodation in the Thornlea area. It is investi- gating the land situation in that district. At the same meeting the board received a delegation from the Teachers’ Federation, decided to have International Water Sexvice chill for water on the Scott sub- division and re-arranged its in- surance to cover properties in the whole area. under its control.
