Sewer Installation Work Is To Start Soon And Will Be Complete In Year Richmond Hill’s $350,000 sewer project will get under way at once, it was announced this week by Reeve William Neal, following receipt of final approval from the Ontario Municipal Board.‘ Village ratepayers have twice voted in favor of the undertaking which ‘has been one of live dis- cussion in municipal circles for some years. Early this year the contract for the installation of sewers and the construction of the disposal plant was let to the Marina Construc- tion Company. The contract price for the nearly nine miles of sewers is $191,083. and for the dis- posal plant $86,313 Added to this will be the cost of operating ma- chinery estimated at some $20,- 000., the engineer’s fees, and the interest charges. The estimated total cost is about $340,000. and the village is preparing fmamial arrangements up to $350,000. :0 as to provide for any unexpcfied expenditures. Two votes of too ratepayers have been taken on the prefect and both were strongly in favor of going ahead with the sewer construction. At the .imc of the Big Day Augufi St. Andrews Girls Pipe Band Feature Attraction For The Richmond Hill Lions Carnival There will be many features at the annual Carnival of the Rich- mond Hill Lions Club which will be held here on Civic Holiday, Monday, August 6. This annual event is always a big day in the community and this year several new attractions promise to add to the interest and enjoyment of the thousands who will attend. The carnival which will be an afternoon and night affair will open with a parade at 1 pm. which will be headed by the famous St. Andrew’s Girls Pipe, Band. The Lions are particularly happy to announce that this famous Band will be herefor the big day, and the news‘will be welcomed by the people of the community. There’s really something about a pipe band, and this girls’ organization which has won fame throughout all Ontario is itself a. major at- traction well worth seeing and hearing. The parade will include many features which will be announced from week to week in The Liberal, and one item already decided upon is a, contest for decorated bicycles. Boys’and girls are already start- ing to plan for this part of the parade and many fine entries are expected to compete for the prizes being offered by the Lions Club. The midway is always a centre of attraction at the Carnival and this year not only will there be a lot of new and novel games, but all the games will be located in new and more attractive setting.

The special sitting of the Bwrd was held in Richmond Hill last. Friday with vice ~-:hairman Moore representing the Board. Reeve William Neal, members of coun- cil, engineer Redfern, and about fifteen rtaepayers were in attend- ance. No objections were raised to the construction of a sewer sys- tem but some questions were askâ€" ed regarding various details of plans and construction.

He estim- ated this construction cost at from $1.50 to $2.00 per foot. The Marino Construction Com- pany has been standing by and is ready to commence operations at once, and it is expected the whole project will be completed and in operation within a year. ' The sewer construction project being launched, marks, aq il‘D‘QOY‘tt ant step in the progress and de- velopment of Richmond Hill. For many years civic leaders and cit- izens have felt the need of this improvement which is now about to become a reality. There will be some inconvenience during the construction period but it will be for a comparatively short time and the contractors have given assnrance that there will be as little interference as possible with regular traffic on village streets. The historic home ‘of Councillor Wesley Middleton of Richmond Hill has been sold to an Ottawa man, Mr. Fred Faussett, reports Harry Charles, representative for J. A. Wflloughby & Sons, Real Es- tate, Toronto. The house situated at 177 Yonge Street north was owned at one time by Col. Moodie, who was killed‘ in the Rebellion of 1837 while trying to notify the Governor of York at the garrison in Tor-onto, that he had seen small parties of men moving south to meet their leader William Lyon Mackenzie. Ottawa Man Buys Historical Residence Mr. Moodie was shot on Mon- day, December 4, 1837, approx= imately at the spot where Yonge Street at Montgomery now 1'5. and which was then Mont- gomery’s Tavern. At that time the house was situated on lot 49, Yonge Street, Whidh is the land just north of Richmond Hill Far- mer’s Supply property. The house Was originally built by Dr. A. Reid in 1820.

Ha“ Committee Reporg Construction To Commence On Lions Community Hall Reverend C. B. Brethen and Mrs. Brethen were presented at last Sunday’s service with a purse of money and an illuminated ad- dress as a, token of appreciation of the members of the United Church, Richmond Hill, for whom they had given so unstintingly of their time and energy during the past ten years of service at the ‘Richmond Hill charge. Rev. Mr. Brethen is retiring from the ac- tive ministry because of illness. After six months of absence l l lfrom the nulnit Rev. Mr. Brethen United Church Congregation Presents Rev. & Mrs. Brethen With Gift Of Purse &.Address After six' months of absence from the pulpit Rev. Mr. Brethen preached a farewell sermon to the congregation he has served so untiringly for the past decade. The church was filled almOSt to capacity with some of the gallery seats being taken. At the close of the service Mr. Paul E. Angle, chairman of the Pastoral Rela- tions Committee, briefly eulogized ‘the person and the service ren- idered by both Rev. and Mrs. Bre- then, and called upon Mrs. C. H. Sanderson, president of the W0- man’s Association and a member of the Pastoral Relations Com- mittee, to present the purse which contained $500. After a few re- marks Mrs. Sanderson made the presentation and pinned a corsage on Mrs. Brethen. \SS. 13 Board To Ask Whitchurch {Council - Pass Debenture By-law Mr. Angle explained that In view of the impersonal character of a gift of money, a. message ex- congregation had been prepared in order that these sentiments might rémain in perpetuity. Mr. Angle called on Wm. C. Wilson, S. S. 13 Whitchurdh School Board, called a meeting of proper- ty owners last Thursday night, to ask that they be authorized to ask Whitchuroh Council to pass de- bentures for $50,000. to erect a new school on the Green property. Mr. E. L. McCarron was appointed chairman and Mr. George Gourlay, secretary for this meeting. Mr. 0. M. MacKillop, school inspector, outlined the work that has been done by the board over the past months. The ratepayers at a meeting last fall refused to accept the site pick- ed by the board on the south road, as, it was stated, some sixty per cent of the children lived in the section located arOund the north road! into Lake Wilcox. An arbi- tration board was appointed at that meeting, and a site just back of the community hall was picked by them. Unfortunately the own- er of this property died very sud- denly before the purchase was completed, and it was necessary to wait for a court order to allow the board to take possession of this land. This order was signed by the judge last week, and the board is now ready to proceed with the er- ection of a school to serve this community. One hundred and six- ty-five ildren are being cared for under t e non-resident fee system at Oak Ridges School. This results in a very much overcrowded con- dition at Oak Ridges, thirteen classes being held in a school which originally held six rooms. This was accomplished by dividing rooms, and holding classes in the base. ment and one in the hall, and some classes on shifts. The board at Oak Ridges took care of these chil- dren at great inconvenience to themselves and their staff. Mr. A. Patchell and Mr. R. Ward both board members spoke on var- ious phases of the work that has been done and the plans of the board to build a four or more room school as proves necessary. A sur- vey has yet to be taken to deter- mine the number of children ready to start first grade in September. The following resolution was read to the meetingby the secret- ary of the school board, Mrs. C. a member of the Board of Stew- ards and also a. member of the Pastoral Relations Committee to make the presentation. Mr. Wil- son expressed his pleasure in hav- ing this opportunity to show his his personal appreciation after he read the address he presented it to Rev. Brethen. The message which follows below was hand printed in color and framed: To Reverend C. B. Brethen and Mrs. Brethen, Just ten years ago you came to the pastorate of Richmond Hill 1United Church. Now we come, with regret, to bid you farewell, and to honour you fit our parting. In doing this we need only to submit that which you have justly earned, through your devoted service to this congregation. Your ministry in the pulpit has at all times been that of an in- spired messenger of the Creator, whom we all serve, ever expand- ing in vision and purpose with the march of time. x To the sick in body and the be- reaved, you have been a comflort- er. To the sick in spirit you have been an inspiration. To all you pressing the real feelings of the have been friends. Under your leadership our mem- bership has almost doubled, and extensive improvements in equip- ment including new Sunday School and Parsonage accommodation has beenrvamrvovided. )- (Continued from page 2) L. Stephenson, “We the property owners of S. S. 13 W'hitc'hurch, au- thorize the school board of S.

S. 13 Whitchurdh, on the Green proper- tyjy It was moved by Mr. George Huckle and seconded by Mr. Fred McIvor that the above resolution be passed unanimously. This was carried and the school board will ask for tenders for a new school as soon as specifications can be prepared. Every effort will be made to have the school ready for occupanCy by September 4. Mrs. Gladys Cross of Richmond Hill, a teacher with sixteen years exper- ience has been hired as principal. Mr. McCarron announced that a strawberry festival, sponsored by the Ratepayers Association will be held on his lawn, Friday, June 29, from '7 to 9 pm. Adults 3'5c and children 25c. A musical program is being arranged. Richmond Hill’s $95,000 water system will be completely paid for this year according to the report of Clerk Russell Lynett. The tank at the corner of Mill and Trench Streets, constructed in 1921, has reached the thirty year mark and for the first time is having repairs to its structure, but is still in good condition. Last Year For Debenture On Water System The first debenture was issued on August 15th., 1921, under the Reeveship of Thos. Trench. The mill rate at that time was 37.37. The village was not assessed for this until 1922 which probably was the principal cause of some part of the increase in the mill rate to 45.174. It is interesting to note that in 1923 the mill rate 51.3|10 mills was even higher than the ‘present rate of 50 mills. Installation of officers for the- year 1951-52 was held at the same meeting with K. W (Ken) Tomlin taking office as the Club’s new president. In his acceptance speech Mr. Tomlin expressed the desire to increase the activities of the club during the coming year, which he hoped would be even more successful than the previous one. Mr. Mel Maltby is the red tiring president. - Construction is to begin immediately on the Commun- ity Hall being built by Richmond Hill Lions Club, it was re- ported at Thursday night’s meeting by chairman of the Hall Committee, Paul E. Angle. The building is to be lo. cated on the corner of Pugsley Avenue and Centre Street east in Richmond Hill. Milton Heise, building wntractor of the Village, has been awarded the contract and will begin excavation right away. No definite date has been set as t the time of completion. 2 First vice-president is W. E. Butlin, 2nd vice-president D. Boyd, 3rd vice-president Howard Jack- man, secretary Jas. Butler, treas- urer J. Allan Bales, Tail Twister Frank Schissler, Lion Tamer Rand Phipps. Lions H. H. Mackay, A. S. Barber, S. Ransom and Wm. Wagner were elected as directors. Retiring president Mel Maltby gave a. resume of the club’s pro- jects during the past year. The annual Iris Show of the Richmond Hill Horticultural Soc- iety, was held in the Public School Auditorium, on Wednesday, June 20. While this date was a little late to expect a quantity ofi Iris, it was rather fortunate for other flowers not usually (exhibited at the Iris Show. Some very fine spikes of Del- phinium were exhibited, and flow- ering shrubs were plentiful. Ros- es, symbolic of the month of June were attractively dsiplayed in table arrangements, and the pop- ularity of the miniature arrange- ments was quite evident by the large number exhibited. Horticulturists Hold Iris Show Delphiniums, Roses Displayed A new feature of the Society is to include certain classes for new members, purposely to en- courage them to take part in the educational sille as well as the fun of winning a prize or two. So far, the idea has worked to the entire satisfaction of both parties, and it is hoped that more of the newer members will take advan- tage of this opportunity, as the seasonal shows are presented. During the judging, Mr. R. D. Little, President of the Ontario Horticultural Association, paid his “official visit” to the local soc- iety, giving the members an out- line of the work carried on by the governing body. He gave special praise to the work done by the Richmond Hill Society and the way in which the monthly meet- ings were conducted. Following the judging Miss Margaret Dove and Mrs. Hooper, spoke at length on the do's and don’ts regarding exhibiting flow- ers, both specimens and arrange- ments, in the various classes, which proved very beneficial to all concerned.
