NUMBER 99 “There's plenty of opportunity for administrative economies and cutting expenses in County Coun- cil” said Richmond Hill’s deputy- reeve Kenneth Tomlin at the reg- ular meeting of village council on Monday night. ‘Richmond Hill’s deputy who is attending his first session of Coun- ty Council made the observation during a discussion of a communi- cation from .county assessor relâ€" ative to his ‘recommendation that the village adopt the county for- mula of assessment. The deputy- reeve said he didn't doubt the re- assessment proposal was aimed at increasing Richmond Hill's pay- ment to County Council. “We pay too much to the County now” said Mr. Tomlin, “and we get very lit- tle in return for it.” Council on motion of Councillors Middleton and Perkins re-appoint- Village Re-appoints Assessor Wounty Too Much For Too Little - Tomlin As their first item of business at a lengthy meeting of the Mark- ham Township Council held last Monday evening the members considered the establishment of a Township Planning Board. Reeve Timbers stated that thevestablishâ€" ment of a Planning Board had been.under consideration for over a year, Both he and Deputy- Reeve James stressed that it is of major importance that such a Board be set up at once. As to the composition of the Board, Reeve Timbers suggested that it ‘be a five man Board made up of two Council members and three private citizens. The Board will likely hold two meetings a month and the members will receive the same pay as a Councillor. Coun- cillor Hooper also felt there should be two members of Coun- cil"‘on the Board. Council LeMas- urier only wanted one member of'the Council on the Board and then the people wouldn’t develop the feeling the Board is Council dominated. Markham Twp. Considers The Establishment of a Planning Bd. Among those mentioned as poss- ible nominees to the new Board were Messrs. Spears, Maynard, Cowley and Dean by Reeve Tim- bers. Councillor Hooper suggest- ted the names of W. Dean and R. Shorten; .while Deputy-Reeve James put forward the name of Mr. H. Maynard. Mr. LeMasurâ€" ier wanted the Ratepayers in the subdivisions to also be given an opportunity to suggest some names. This question of a Plan- ning Board will be considered fur- ther at a special meeting of the Council. The Council will hold smother special meeting some time prior to February 1 in order to considd er the salaries of Township em- ployees for the coming year. The head of each department will be asked to attend the meeting. Councillor LeMasurier interjected that he wanted this to be an open meeting with the public and the press given the opportunity to at- tend, Councillor Hooper felt at this type of meeting and with de- partment heads present it; might prove embarrassing. Reeve Tim- bers stated that simply because it is a special meeting it doesn’t preclude anybody from attending. Deputy-Reeve James said he could not see the point as anybody iS free to come. “It will be an open meeting and we are not going to batten down our hatches,” stat- ed Mr. James, The members discussed the ques~ tion of dogs being allowed to run at large in the Township. There have been complaints from var-1 ious parties especially in the sup- divisions of dogs being allowed to run and destroy property. A four man delegation composed of Messns. Mason, Russell, MacAl- pine and Stroud‘from the Don‘ caster Ratepayers who called on council regarding several matters cited cases where these dogs are becoming a menace_ Councillor LeMasurier felt that there should be some by-law to prohibit dogs from running in packs and des~ troying property. Deputy-Reeve James said such a by-law would be very good but without a Town. ship dogcatoher it would be im- possible to enforce.‘Reeve Tim- bers was also of the opinion that what was needed was dogcatcher. Councillor Lennie suggested that the Township police be given the job of handling stray dogs. The big problem according to Clerk Hoover was what to do with strays that are unclaimed. The Township would require a properly built dogpound in order to enforce any lay-laws. On the motion of Mr. Lennie the Council will attempt to make some arrangement with the dog-catcher of one‘of the surâ€" wounding municipalities, to have @m “We used to have a hit-and-miss system said councillor Middleton, “but Mr. Pocknell made a complete re-assessment on a defined basis which has worked well and I think is fair to all." The absence of ap- peals, he said, was evidence of sat- isfaction. Reeve Taylor and council mem- bers defended Richmond Hill's as- sessment system and highly com- mended Mr. Pocknell for his ef~ ficient work in the past, The County assessor advocated the use of a County formula of as- sessment in all municipalities. to provide a basis for County equali- zation of assessment. ed W.

The Trustees of Thornhill Vill- age under the chairmanship of Mr. W. Dean waited on the coun4 cil regarding snow removal 0“ Yonge Street and the introduction of a zoning Riyâ€"law' to cover‘ Thornhill, The Trustees have al- ready discussed with the Ontario Department of :Highways the re- moval of snow ploughed up from the road from the village’s side- walks. The Trustees were dis- turbed over the proposed erection of [a gas station on the northâ€"east corner of Elgin and Yonge Sts. They felt that with the public school on one corner, another gas station already on one of the oth- er corners, the construciton of this service station would create an additional traffic hazard to child- ren attending the school. To erect the proposed station the company concerned will require he approv- al of the Township, the Depart- ment of Highways and the Board of Health. In the future any residents who have ideas for improving the Township can deposit them in a nice new Township Suggestion Box, Mr. LeMasurier on behalf of the Langstafl’ ratepayers pres- ented Council with this Sugges- ion Box. It is expected it will :be kept in the Clerk’s office. The meeting saw the estab- ment of a Waterworks and Sani- tation Committee composed of Councillors Lennie and LeMasur- ier. This Committee will work in conjunction with the depart- ment of Waterworks and Plumb- ing. Deputy-reeve James will be an ex-oflficio member of the com- mittee, Mr. J. . Teetzel of the Harding Park Subdivision appeared before council regarding- the resolution taking over his roads. He wonder- ed why Lennox Ave_, was left of the list of roads taken over. The members assured him-that if it was . an improved road it would be included. Deputy-Reeve James was ap- pointed representative on the Urn- ionville Memorial Rink Board. The Council granted the National In- stitute for the Blind permission to hold a Tag Day in Unionville on Saturday, May 3. The rapid growth that is going on in Markham Township was fur- ther brought home this week when the Township Council made plans to hire a Treasurer and an Assis- tant Assessor. Reeve Timbers said that with extra ofiice staff Mr. Hoover’s job of Clerk and Treas- urer could be split into separate positions. Councillor Lennie felt with the increased assessment and general volume of work there should be a further division of work in the Township office, Coun- cillor LeMasurier raised objections to increasing the present office staff as he felt it wasn‘t warrant- ed. He agreed to the splitting up of Mr. Hoover’s position but he was of the opinion there was no need for increasing the staff if the present work was properly distributed. Deputy-reeve James and Councillor LeMasurier felt that the new man should under- study Mr. Hoover so that if at some future date the Clerk fell ill ‘there would be someone to take his place. Mr. James and Mr. Lennie thought they should hire ‘a good understudy and then con- !ider the cost of administration land if necessary do some house- lcleaning. Markham Twp. To Increase Staff an Essentials, Unity} In Non essentials, Liberty; In all Things, Charity. ” in Markham Trustees W. R. Dean, J_ E. Mac-l Neil and Allan Sumner of the pol- ice village of Thornhill met on January 18, and adopted a resolu- tion that Vaughan and Markham Townships be requested to pass a terrporary zoning by-law.The res- olution asked that the by-law pre- vent land within the limits of the village to be used for the building of service stations or commercial garages, and that the land lying within the village limits, with the exception of land to within 3 depth of 150 feet fronting Yonge Street, be restricted for residential purposes. ' Thornhill Trustees Ask Zoning By-Law From Mark. &Vaughan Richmond Hill To Ask Provincial Approval As ‘ Aflanning Area Mr. A. Ecklestone and Mr. S, S. Tobias were present on the in- vitation of Trustee Dean, to offer legal assistance and the citizen’s viewpoint on the subject of build- ing by-laws. Trustee Sumner re- ported on the meeting he and Trustee MacNeil had with Vaugh- an Township council re building by-laws and health regultions, and Trustee Dean, disclosing that in- vestigation proved that the area within the limits of Thornhill in Markham Township was not pro- tected by a building or zoning by- laws, assured his fellow‘ trustees that both townships would accept a by-law set up by them, provided it was suitable to be worked in with township healh and building regulations. It was Mr. Eckle- stone who advised Trustees to pass the abo'e temporary zoning by- law, then form a citizen’s com- mittee to draft a permanent by- law with assistance from both Township councils. On a fur farm within a short distance of Richvale and Richmond Hill, where for five years Mr. and Mrs. Len T-homspon successfully have raised registered chincahilla stock, a new departmené has been added with the recent acquisition of} herd of South American beav- er, properly known as Nutria. South America Beaver Raised On Fur Farm These are rat-tailed animals,| closely resembling the Canadian Beaver, the fur of which is rising in popularity for coats, jackets and fur-trimmings. Clean and vharâ€" dy, they are easily cared for, re- quire a certain amount of water, are vegetarians, able to eat a w1de variety of vegetables, excepting parsley and cauliflower, and can withstand the rigors of our winter climate. The Temales bear litters of, On an average, from eight to ten youngy twice a year. These, born with fur, teeth, and open eyes, are able to eat a regular diet within a day or two and to care for them- selves, and surplus animals not selected for breeding purposes, can be pelted at the end of a year. 'Dhe fur, when sheared of the guard hairs, is of a velvety-soft texture, and when dressed the more desirable pelts are of a choc- olate-blue colour. These animals, while at first very shy, soon become accustom- ed to their surroundings and will come to be fed when called. They often attain weights of from 19 to 25 pounds. ‘ ress Annexation Plans Al Rice, local florist, com- plained to council Monday night that he was unfairly dis- criminated against by local police. “I want to know why I have been singled out to be crucified," said Mr. Rice. He said his truck was towed 01? Arnold Street recently and he had to pay a fine and towing charges. Other cars have stood on the street for weeks, he said. R‘eeve Taylor and council members assured him there was no desire on the part of council to single out anyone for prosecution, He was asked to attend the next meeting when the constable would be in attendance. RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY JANUARY 17th. 1952 Citizen Protests Police Action ‘ The subject of street lights for Thornhill was discussed and before any action be taken agreements are required from both township councils. Cost of the lights on Yonge Street is to be divided be. tween Markham and Vaughan Townships. Since it falls upon the trustees to decide whether to hold a vote or have a petition circulated throughout the village, it was mo- ved by J. E, MacNeil and seconded by A. Sumner, resolved that Mr. Ecklestone draw up a petition to be circulated to all ratepayers within the limits of the village as to whether or not they Wish the new lighting system to be install- ed, A letter will be printed by the Liberal and sent to all rate- payers concerning a public meet- ing on the Lighting question. Chairman Dean appointed A. Sumner to be in charge of circu- lating the petition. Snow Removal Mr. Dean disclosed that the Trustees were willing to pay for snow i‘emoval from sidewalks but not snow that the Department of Highways had placed on the walks. Ratepayers do clean sidewalks but the Department of Highways push- es snow on them. He also stressed the hazard the snow condition was to the school children and remark- ed how difficult it was to get in touch with the men working for the Department of Highways. Mr. Tobias was asked to report his findings on the situation, and stated that the inerview with Mr. Clarke, Mr. Ramsay’s assistant, at the Department of Highways, had been most satisfactory. Mr. Clarke stated that the Province of Ontario Department of Highways paid 50% and the townships paid 25% or snow removal, and if the Townships would not agree to this to return to his office and he would investigate. Mr. Dean ex« plained the only difficulty was that the Townships charged the 25 per cent to the village. It was moved by A: Sumner and sec- onded by J. E. MacNeil, that the trustees accept Mr. Tobias’ invita- tion to accompany him at the be- ginning of the week to see Mr. Clarke of the Department of Highways and that a written ac- count of this meeting should be re- ceived from the Department and incorporated in the minutes. A discussion of the traffic haz- ard and snow removal in front of the MacNeil-Anstey building was held. York County has long been her- alded as an outstanding strong- hold of the Jersey Breed in Can- ada. One of the largest herds in Canada is maintained by Don Head Farms of Richmond Hill.

Paper Collection Constable Robbins in- Will Name An Authorized Planning Board Very Soon Richmond Hill Village will make immediate application to the Ontario Minister of Planning and Development for rec- ognition as a Planning Area and on receipt of such approval will set up a fully authorized Planning Board. This was unani'. mously decided at a meeting of Village Council Monday eva- ening by a resolution introduced by councillor Jack Rice. Provincial legislation gives to Planning Boards wide pow: ers in regulating and directing building and development not only in the specified area but in neighboring districts as well. Members numbering three or five are appointed by council for varying terms of years so there always is continuity in mem- bership. '1 Council action followed further study and investigation of the de- cision at the last meeting to form a Planning and Industrial Com- mittee. The committee was con- sidered necessary for organization and survey‘preliminary to the for- mal application for designation as a Planning Area. Consultation with provincial authorities reveal- ed however that the preliminary committee was unnecessary and that there was no reason to anti- cipate any delay in approval now of Richmond Hill as a. Planning Area, and the appointment of a regularly constituted Planning [Board. As soon as Provincial approval is received to the village applica- tion council will proceed with the members. Councillor Perkins em- phasized the importance of select‘ ing the right people as Board members. “We can’t be tod careâ€" ful in selecting the right persons for this Board,” he said. In reply to a question by Coun- cillor (Middleton the Reeve said the members of the Board would serve without remuneration, Annexation , The village council action on a Planning Board is closely allied with current annexation plans. On this subject Reeve W. J. Taylor said he hoped an early meeting can be arranged with Markham Township council and emphasized again that the council is most and xious to proceed as quickly as pos- sible with expansion plans. “We do not want unduly to hur- ry the matter” said deputy-reeve Tomlin, “but it is imperative we meet Markham Council as soon as pOSSible so we can proceed with sponsoring a public meeting here to clarify any doubtful issues.” The Reeve said he was hopeful that a meeting with Markham council might be arranged before the end of the month, Extra Police February 1 The Commissioner of Provincial Police confirmed the contract for the policing of the Village and advised that the second police officer will be stationed here com- mencing February 1. Re-Wire Arena On motion of councillor Perkins it was decided to award the con: tract for re-wiring the arena to the Allan Electric Co., at a price of $2,045. This figure which was the lowest tender does not include new shades and bulbs which will cost an additional $500. The Richmond Hill Horticultur- al Society held its first meeting of the New Year last Friday night with over 125 in attendance, There was a good representation from the Thornhill, Roseland and North York Horticultural Societies. i Mr. W. Ferguson, president oti the local society, gave a short ad- dress of welcome and then call- ed upon the first speaker of the evening, Mr. P. Harden. Mr. Harden who is president of executive df the Don Valley As- sociation told of the aims to pre- serve, conserve and develop the: u n life. In May 1947, ten thousand trees were planted in the valley by Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, led by members of the association. Tree planting thus became an annual affair. In Richmond Hill F. R. Perkins is the representative, in Vaughan (Twp, J. H. Robson and in Mark. ham Reeve Winfred Timbers.

Frank Price plans to open one in the village in the near future. Councillor Perkins was re-ap- pointed as village representative on the Don Valley Conservation Authority. Canadian National Institute for the Blind was granted permission to hold a tag day here on May 3. J. D. Lucas submitted his ac. count for legal services in 1951. It amounted to $600. which is a considerable increase over the previous year due to extra work re the sewers. A letter from the solicitor re- ported on negotiations with the H. J. Mills Ltd., for an agree- ment of easement for the con- struction of a sewer across their property. Reeve Taylor and mem- bers of council will confer with representatives of the firm at an early date and it is hOped that an agreement will be reached. Two films were shown. The first depicted numerous beauty spots along the Don Valley and the oth- er was entitled “Clear Waters” showing what happens as a result of river water pollution. Mrs. R. D.
