"SALAIIA" TEA 8: COFFEE Telephone Maple 99 50 EXPERIENCED SALESMEN Phone 435-R AND SONS PHONE 487 At the regular meeting of the Richmond Hill Public School Board held last Friday Trustee A. Arm- strong informed his fellow mem- bers the Ontario Municipal Board is holding up approval of their money byâ€"law for the $12,000 to be used to purchase the site for the proposed new Public School. This is the same byâ€"law passed by the village Counc' several Weeks ago granting the School Board £112,000 to cover the purchase of their land. Once passed by the Council the by-law was forwarded to the Municipal Board for final approval. This information report- ed to the members was the out- come of a telephone conversation between the Board’s solicitor, Mr. D. Lucas and Mr. Armstrong. Mr. Lucas reported that in their repres- entations the Municipal Board re- ferred to sections 32, 56 and 58 of the Public School Act. What the Municipal Board is attempting to do, is have the local School Board governed by section 56, subsection J, which first classes it as a rural ooard, and secondly requests the .iolding of a public meeting of the‘ ratepayers to approve the land‘ purchase. Mr. Lucas who was very upset over the sudden turn of ev- ents stated, “he never before had :ncountered a similar situation." The board’s architect J. B. Par- kin attended the meeting to give the members a list of comparative building costs for their new school. “We should like to hear your ideas Mr. Parkin on the cost of a sub- stantial, but considerably cheaper Iohool”, stated Chairman James Pollard. The board members have reasonable expectations that vill- age assessment will rise and they wish to keep the matter before the Municipal Board. Mr. Parkin re- ported the standard price to build a new school would be $14.00 a square foot. “By cutting out the frills and fanciful architecture,” he declared, “you could likely cut this figure by 10 per cent.” ‘ Municipal Bd. Delays Approval Of $12,000 To Purchase Site For New R. Hill Public School As to the number of rooms in the school, Mr. Armstrong thought they might possibly get by with eight providing the population doesn’t increase. At present the provincal grant to aid in the con- struction of a new school would be 46% but this figure will decrease as the population increases. “I feel it is more economical to build than to pay out money on rent, when that money could be used to reduce our capital expend- iture, declared Mr. Armstrong. “By renting you are paying somebody else’s depreciation and interest,” he concluded. It isn’t a happy sit- uation’, stated Mr. Pollard, “having our children scattered all over.” “We will be paying rent on five classrooms and this‘is most unec- onomical, because we receive no grant on ten ,” claimed Trustee Ratepayers Discuss Roads And Free Swimming For Whitchurch PHONE 10 RICHMOND HILL ard After doing some calculating Mr. Parkin stated he might just be able to construct a 1-0 room school costing somewhere in the vicinity of $10 a square foot, or 3 total cost of about; $115,000. 011 top of this figure would be added the architects fees, cost of the land plus equipment. “Of course this 1...__. cjfl,‘ is only supposition and you could not be sure until you had asked for tenders,” stated Mr. Parkin. Any such school would be simple and contain nothing more than the classrooms, a corridor and wash- rooms. Mr. Parkin admitted his firm had never yet ‘built a school so cheaply. He will explore the possibilities further & report back to the board. Secretary J. Grainger read a 16!- ter from A. A. Mackenzie, M.L.A., North York, stating his willingness to arrange a meeting between a member of the board and the Depâ€" uty Minister of Highways, regard- ing the passing of a law to force motor vehicles to halt behind school buses when they are unloading. Trustee Armstrong was delegated to meet the Deputy Minister of The Finance Committee (Arm- strong and Butlin) brought in its recommendation on the teachers’ salaries. They recommended that each teacher receive a substantial yearly increase effective this com- ing September. Chairman Pollard deferred action on this report until all the members were present. Highways The members will purchase two new portraits size 9x 27 of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip for $15 through the Canadian Legion.The pictures were requested by Prin- cipal W. ‘Scott for the school. Mrs. B. LangstaflE reported a combination gadio and record play- er had been purchased for use by the children in Mrs. J. McWhirter’s class in the prange Home. Chairman 'J: Pollard reported three children of Separate School supporters were no longer attendâ€" ing the PuBlic School kindergarten. The board will hold a special meeting in the immediate future to consider their rather lengthy Fire Marshal’s report. Principal Scott informed the members there may not be enough grade 7 'boys to fill the Jefferson School, but that there may be a sufficient number of grade 6 boys. Mr. Pollard suggested they mix the two grades and have grades 6 and 7 'boys. The board’s advertising for new teachers has paid off. Trustee Langstaff reported 47 applications have been received. each week day, and a charge of 15c a day for Saturday afternoon, Sundays and holidays. Residents will be supplied with badges at cost by the Ratepayers Association, which will be sewn on the suits of the bathers. It was moved by Mr. A. Patchell and seconded by Mrs. Holmes that Mrs. Ash’s very gen- erous offer be accepted. Mr. Mc- Carron was instructed to take this resolution back to council which would draw up an agreement. Mrs. Ash maintains a' well kept and su- ‘pervised bathing beach at Wilcox Lake and this means that it will be available to residents of Whit- church and save the township the expense of maintaining a beach of their own. residents of Whitchurch Township] Mr. McCarron also read the byâ€" law passed by Whitchurch Council to control the dogs in the’ Lake area. This was reported some weeks ago, but,,it is repeated again so that all may know it has been made law in the distrct. In the‘ area bounded by CFRB sideroad on the north and the Gormley side road on the south, Yonge Street on the west and halfway betmeen the 1second and third concessions on the east, any dog running at large may be taken in charge by any 1person and delivered to the pound- keeper, Mr. Edfl Barlow, 2nd con., who will keep the dog for five days. If it is not claimed by the owner, it will be disposed of. If claimed, the owner will pay $1.00 per day and is liable to a fine of $50 for allowing a dog to run at large con- trary to the provisions of this by- law No. 1354. It was decided to move the year ending for the organization back to its original date June 2’7. A discussion of the roads took place and Mr. McCarron told resi- dents that tenders are ready to let for the streets running off the south road, and that he Would take bacl; to council the request of the people for a. hard top on the south road this year. The north road is as usual at this time of the year impassable. The H. A Briggs Ltd., who have the contract for this job are anxious to complete it and we believe this is the last year residents will have to put up with conditions as they now are. The attention of the members was directed to the fact that with over one hundred and fifty.mem- bers, fifty are in arrears. It will be necessary to show membership cards in order to vote. The statement from the North Yonge bus lines for the month of February as revealed at Richmond Hill Council meeting Monday night showed an operating loss of $2,988.34, compared with an oper- ating proft of $1,256.55 for Feb- ruary 1951. an operating loss of $4,914.26 com- 3115 Line Shows Operating Loss Of $2,988 For Month Of Feb.

This compares with $22,434.84 for Febr- uary 1951 an increase of $1,129.94 or 5 per cent. The fact that thiS year is Leap Year must be taken into consideration.

Offices At their Monday meeting the Markham Township Council dis- cussed the proposed move of their Township Offices to Buttonvifie. Councillor LeMasurier wanted to know if the Council intended to move if the residents of Unionville raised any objections. Mr. Hooper claimed the Council was told to leave Unionville and move out into the township. “We are moving to a good site which is central to our population”, stated Reeve Timbers. ‘LeMasurier replied that Button- ville was not the geographical cen- tre of the township. Councillor Lennie said people feel Council is rushing into the matter too quick- ly. He added, “Possibly we should call a public meeting of our citi- zens and let them decide the issue.’ Deputy-Reeve James wondered if ‘the Council was required by mun- icipal law to hold pu‘fific meeting of the ratepayers before moving ‘its offices. As a {possible solution to the matter, members decided to {flake a. tour of other township oflices. They will visit Whitchurch’s new offices at Vandorf and East Gwill- imbury at Sharon. The Township of King is assessed this year on the total of $5,365,600. The total assessâ€" ment of last year was $5,227;- 100. The tax rate set to cover township salaries, building and care of roads and bridges and for all township purposes com- mon to the 26 school sections which compose the town- Ship of King, is set at 12.4 mills, as compared to 11.4 mills of last year. School taxes county taxes, police village im- provements and expenses, and local improvements create the further rise in the tax rate which varies considerably in each school section. it appear that the present schedule of “clinics” may have to be m- creased shortly. The Child Health Centres are now ’being held regu~ larly in eleven localities through- ou the York County Health Unit. They were begun in some localities in January and February of this year and already the attendance at some of the “clinics” has increased so much that special plans may have to be made to take care of the large attendance. “An overwhelming attendance at local Child Health Centres makes For example, at the Keswick Child Health Centre, there were 20 infants and pre-school children in January and this incresed to 33 in February. Similarly, at the Wood‘bridge Child Health Centre, begun in February, there were 23 infants and preschool children in- creasing to 34 at the March clinic. The largest attendance to date has been at ThornhilLChild Health Cen- tre in March when 40 infants and preschool children were in attend- ance. AUTO BURNED AT ELGIN MILLS Richmond Hill Fire Brigade un- der the direction of Fire Chief Alf Stong answered a fire c Saturday last at the Shell Service Station at; Egin Mills. There a 1934 Ford Even though it was Cons- table Robbins’ night ofl" he didn’t have much time to him- self, as he was continually called to replace the sewer barricade at the north end of Richmond Hill which was knocked down 12 times during Saturday night. Convertible owned by Mr. Harold Burns had broken out in flames. While garage attendants were welding a spring on the car its gas tank became ignited. The top part of the vehicle was badly burned be- fore firemen were able to extin- guish the blaze. Red lights and warning signs seemed to have no effect on the motorists who rammed the barricade. Bad weather condi- tions combined with the strong headlight glare were attrib- uted as the cause of the acci- dents. ' MAY HAVE TO INCREASE SCHEDULE OF CLINICS Knocked Down .12 Times King Twp. Tax Rate crease in wages. Following the report the subject of raising the fares was brought up with councillor Middleton as- serting that they should Wait and see how future reports stand be- fore deciding anything defimte. “We’ve derived a. benefit from the line for the past years,” said Mr. Middleton, “it’s wrong to make a decision on the basis of one report, if the line continues to operate at a. loss we can do something about ‘it then." “There are two alternatives,” said Deputy-Reeve Tomlin, “if the line continues to operate at a. loss we can either raise the fares in order to cover deficits or turn it over to the TTC and let them run it. The expansion of the village depends on the type of transporta- tion we have, but we should Wait awhile until really sure the ling will bring us no benefit.” (Continued from page 1) “I think we’re getting a fair price for it,” said councillor Mid- dleton, “Council thought so last year, but now Mr. Perkins says it isn’t enough. Whether the land's worth more, maybe it is, but We gave an offer and then we change our minds.” Planning Board Reeve Taylor asked councillor Rice if he thought the land was worth more than $3,000 with coun- cillor Rice stating that the location is a possible industrial one. “If we‘ can wait six months for the Hydr to make up its mind then we caill certainly take our time,” he added. “There definitely has to be a line of demarcation for residential pro- wperty and industrial and Pugsley Avenue seems to be it,” he contin- ued. Will Take Over Wood Lane Council upon motion agreed to take over Wood Lane in the village providing the road has width of 39 feet, and Mr. Geoy‘Chassie can get the consent of the property owners on the west side. Planning Board Asks For $1,500 A letter was received from the Planning Board asking council‘for $1500 for operating- expenses. Cou- ncillor Rice who sits on the Board explained its position to the rest of council. He stated that it is the wish of the board to cut down on expenses as much as possible, but in order to function it has to have some fund. The money could be paid to the board over a certain period of time, whenever money was ur- gently needed. At present maps, a seal and other incidentals are necessary, and members felt they should not have to dig into their own pockets to supply the necess- ary funds. Mr. Rice said the board request- ed such a large sum so council could set that amount aside in its estimates in case it was needed. He moved that for now council grant $50 to the board for immed- iate use. This was seconded by councillor Middleton and carried unanimously. The sum of $1500 will be considered with the estim- ates. Sub-Division Control Council instructed Clerk Lynett to write the solicitor instructing hm to draw up aQy-law designat- ing an area of subdivision control for the village. Unless such a by- law is in existence 2. subâ€"divider can subdivide Without registering. “This law has been in efiect in most municipalities since 1945 or 1946,” said councillor Rice. With this new by-law a registered plan of every new sub-division is required.
