It was suggested that at the rate things were going, taxes would eventually get so high chat people wouldn’t want to move in~ to the townships, anyhow. Tighten Up Regulations Markham May Follow Suit Barring New Sub-djyisions Members of both councils de- cared they were not quite satis- fied with the proposed financing of the two turnabout loops to be built by the TTC at Langstafl" and Steele’s Corners. Present plan is for a 25 percent assessment ag- ainst Markham, Vaughan and North York townships the balance to be borne by North Yonge Raih ways. Markham township council may follow the lead of Vaughan and clamp down on new subdivisions within its borders until such time as the existing ones have been rea- sonably well built up, it was .indi- cated at a joint meeting of the two councils held in Maple on Monday night. There was no definite action tak- en but sentiment of the council seemed to be strongly in favor of such a move. The meeting was called for a round-table discussion of problems that are common to both municipalities, most of them dealing with the urban deve10p- ment along Yonge St. Reeve John Hostrawser of Vaughan presided. Major H. C. H. Miller, building inspector for Vaughan township gave an outline of the council’s resolution covering new subdiv- isions which has already been re- corded in The Liberal. Mr. Miller declared that in subdivisions in the First and Second Concessions, 50 percent of the lots are still avail- able for building which he said would seem to refute the sugges- tion that new territory should be opened up because people couldn’t find a. place to live. Carrying the point still further, he said that an analysis of the subdivisions opened up in .he three years ending December 31, 1950 showed that four new lots were provided for every person wanting to build a new home. First requisite would be to file with the township engineer in ad- dition to the subdivision map, a detailed plan of the streets to be opened up, designating elevations and other details. This plan would have to be approved by the engineer and the developer would be required to pay a. fee of $100 for his services. The developer would then be re- quired ot lay his roads with a six- inch stone base and comply with other requirements as'to the type of construction. Following approv- al of this work by the engineer, the developer would be required to post with the council a sum equiv- alent to the estimated cost of pav- ing these streets, a job which the council would undertake only utter two-thirds of the area had been built up. Different Financing MAY 26 â€" Saturday. All Saints Church, King, will hold its annaal sale of bedding and plants on the church grounds; also a home bak- ing sale beginning at 3 pm. “I believe we ought to follow suit” commented Councillox Clark. Dealing further with the same theme, both councils decided to give consideration to a plan that would tighten up on subdivision regulations particularly ngl res- pect to roads to be built y the developer.

It’s the 102nd birthday of the annual event, staged by the Richâ€" mond Hill Agricultural Society and every effort is being made to maintain the high standard that the fair has maintained in the past with attractions for young and 01d through the day and evening.

Mack Clement, Richmond Hill hockey product, who re- turned to his home here last week after spending the win- ter in Scotland where he dis- tinguished himself with the Ayr Raiders hockey team. Councillor Wes Middleton, chair- man of the grounds an buildings committee, announced "this week that he is hoping to have bleacher seats installed for the event. This will not only be a welcome innova- tion for‘ spectators who can watch the show in comfort but will tend to minimize parking on the grounds by persons who wish a seat to view proceedings. Plans for the event will be pol- ished off at a meeting of the offi- cers and directors of the society to be held in Richmond Hill muni- cipal building on Friday night at 8 pm.

Victoria Day Is Fair Day Here HISTORY RE-ENACTED: Governor John Graves Sim- coe’s trip up the Don in 1793 to map a transportation route from Toronto to Lake Huron was relived on Sun- day afternoon when members of the Don Valley Con- servation Association made a train trip up the valley from Toronto to Richmond Hill and four East York Collegiate students dressed to resemble the governor’s party presented a scroll to Deputy Reeve Torn Taylor. "In Essentials, Unity; Members of the East York group of the Don Valley Conservation Association went cruising up the river on a Sunday afternoon but the cruise was made in a special railroad train of seven coaches, the object of the trip being to em- phasize the natural beauties of the Don and the advantage of main- taining these beauties as intact as possible. The visitors included real-live “ghosts” of historical figures in the early-recorded days of the Don valley. Governor Simcoe wh-o ex- plored the Don in 1793 in an en- deavour to set up a communicauons route between Toronto and Lake Huron, his aide-de-camp, Captain Macgill and their wives. \ The trip was headed by Charles Sauriol, president of the Assucia~ tion and the group disembarked from the train at Richmond Hill Sunday to the skirl of kilted pipers from the East York Memorial Band. The visitors were met at the Canadian National station by a large representation of folk from Richmond Hill and district. Trip Through The Don Valley Is Made By Conservation Group These important personage: of 150 year ago were represented by four students from East York Jol- legiate as follows: Governor John Graves Simcoe (Eric Pullam); Mrs. Simcoe (M. Evans); Capt. Mac- gill (Robert Day) and Mrs. Mac- gill (Lois Young.) Welcomed by Deputy It is fitting that my return to these once familiar scenes should be sponsored by the East York Board of Education. I was in my own day an ardent advocate of scholarship in the wilderneSS of Upper Canada. In 1791 I wrote to the president of the Royal Society seeking to lay in a literary way the foundation stone of some society that might thereafter conduce to the extension of science. During the Revolutionary War, when the United States came into being, schools had been shamefully negâ€" lected, a condition which I under- stand recurred during a recent war and which is now being remedied by extensive building: programmes (Continued on page 3) The group was officially wel- comed to Richmond Hill by Deyuty Reeve Tom Taylor and Governor Simcoe presented him With the fol- lowing scroll addressed to the reeve and council of the village.

It was a beautiful 'show, aafio- dils of different vareties seemed to glow like sunbeams amid the nar- cissi and early tulips which were plentiful owing to the timely rains this spring and the warm sun at intervals. In the house plant section par- ticularly, African Violets had the judge, Paul Angle, almost at a. loss to select the first prize win- ner, for the plants were extremely large and just a mass of blooms.

Mr. Lamb, who lives in Wood- stock, was a member of a team from that city which scored second prize in a tournament which was under the direction of the Ameri- can Contract Bridge League and which attracted players from as far aWay as Florida. The first pace team with 19 points out'of 28, was only one point ahead or the Woodstock entry. Joint Meeting Held To Discuss Canines The plan projected first some weeks ago was for a pound to be utilized by all municipalities and a common dogcatcher, costs to be apportioned on a basis to be ag- reed upon. Mrs. Askew, president and other officials of the York County Humane Society, attended, explained the setup that would be required and gave an approximate estimate of the cost. Donald C. Lamb, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. Lamb of Richmond Hill won signal honors at the annual two-day Western Ontario bridge tournament in London last! week. Each of the four members of the club was presented with a sil- ver platter. Representatives of each mu..ici- pality will carry a report back to their respective councils for action.
