Mr. Henderson spoke on the most common types of small motors in use today. Messrs. E. Gordon and H. Put- nam of the H.E.P.C. were also in attendance to explain to those concerned the new code of rules and regulations pertaining to ru- ral wiring that came into effect on May 1. It was decided to hold regular meetings during the summer months. President C. E. Taylor was in the chair. In this general area. hundreds of new homes have been built and occupied on lots that are too small in size for safe installation of pri- vate septic tank disposal systems. Apparently no other waste dis- posal method is available at the present time. To aggravate the situation a large part of the area has an abundant supply of muni- cipal water purchased from a neighbouring municipality, and this ample water supply has tend- ed to increase the volume of liq- uid waste necessary to be dispos- ed by each household. Many. ma- ny waste disposal systems have been unable to handle the load. and raw sewage has bubbled up in pools and puddles on the sur- face of the ground and run togeth- er into the ditches creating a ser- V‘- -.v...

NUMBERvSO _ r._.__, a majoritymof thé council decided to award~ the contract to Mr. Spang of»Pic}_(eri.ng Iownsfiip. on ~râ€"V, a cost plus basis. Councillor A. LeMasurier objected to this pro- cedure as he wanted the Town- ship to call for a new set of ten- ders. Mr. Spang was notamong those who submitted a bid when tenders were originally called for last year. Markham Twp. Awards Contract For New Garage At Buttonville In replying to Mr. Smith, Reeve Timbers stated that it was on the suggestion of the Department of ‘Highways that the Township ’de- cided to award the contract to a capable builder on a cost plus ba- sis with a limit of $35,000. "Why go outside the township”, asked Mr. Smith, “when you have eight taxpaying general contractors livâ€" ing in Markham Township?” Mr. LeMasurier contended that at their special meeting ‘Mr. Spang had set the construction figure at $40,000, “which would be $2,000 more than the lowest origâ€" inal tender”. The discussion then centred around the point as to whether Mr. Spang had actually agreed. to build the garage for $35,000. "Let me see the con- tract he signed”. asked Mr. Le- Masuriex’. Clerk C. Hoover in- formed the speaker that a motion and not a contract had been filed with him. "That resolution”. replied Councillor LeMasurier, “is not worth the paper it is writ- te‘zin on, because Spang never sign- e it." 0! their previous meeting, to have Mr. Spang go ahead and construct the garage on a cost plus basis. Delegation A delegation composed of three residents of Box Grove. Mrs. Sev- ell and Messrs. R. Marshall and T. Rimmer. waited on council to raise objections against the dust problem and excessive speeding on the road passing through their hamlet. Mr. Rimmer stated he had personally used about 125 gallons of oil on the roadway fronting his home in an endeavor to keep the dust under control. “The road itself is in a satis- factory condition. but it is too dusty”, stated Mr. Rimmer. Reeve Timbers reported a load of cal- cium chloride is on the way and that the Box Grove road will be attended to as soon as possible. “Why is it so hard to get deliv- ery on this calciiim chloride?” asked Mr. Lennie. “Just last In view of the council’s prev- ious decision for this year to send the tax bills direct to the home owner, members refused to ac- quiesce to the Manufacturers' Life's request. Members gave third reading to the Thornhill street lighting byâ€" law. Third reading was also given to the $193,000 debenture issue for rthe construction of the new Thornlea school. DON HEAD FARMS HAVE WINNER The high record made by the Jersey Breed in Canada in April. is that completed by Brampton Belle Beacon. the famous grand champion show cow and producer, bred by B. H. Bull 8; Son, Bramp- ton, Ontario, and owned by Don Head Farms Limited, at Rich- mond Hill. “The builder only signed the _specifications", stated Deputy- Reeve James, “but we know our man and we have his guarantee it won't cost over $35,000.” Coun- cillor Hooper: said that the town- ship has done business this w‘ay before and always came out on top. Councillor LeMasurier felt this was ‘an inefficient way to handle any business transaction. "With no contract you have no control over the cost". he said. “A lot of companies spent mon- ey preparing tenders last year", said Mr. Smith, “and then the council turns around and lets the contract on a cost plus basis to a man who is paying taxes in Pick- ering Township". In spite of these objections, members decided on the strength of their previous meeting, to have Mr. Spang go ahead and construct fihe garage on a cost plus basis. melegation E. W. Musson ’52 President Of Oak. Ridges Home And School The new slate of officers of the Oak Ridges Home and School Club was sworn in at the association's last meeting by'Mrs. L.

Mrs. LeMasurier explained the re-organization of York Council Home and School Association which was changed on May 7 to the York Simcoe Area Council. This council includes fifteen organ- izations in Markham, Vaughan. King, Whitchurch Townships and East and North Gwillimbury Twps. and Georgina. Mrs. R. J. Woolley was congratulated on being elected to the new York Simcoe Area Coun ncil. with Mrs. LeMasurier also thanking Mrs. Robt. Ash. social convenor. on behalf of the district officers for the lunches served at Home and School meetings in Oak Ridges. @MIE mmm Road‘ Committee member Chas. Hooper, in reply, stated that this calcium had been used all over the township. “We have been waiting two years", stated Mr. Marshall, “for some action on this road”. ‘A‘Last year all we got was one applica- tion of calcium chloride", he add- ed. This matter of dust control and speeding by motorists will be handled by the appropriate com- mittees of council. Pass New By-law Those present were treated to a rare sight when two councillors usually in opposition to each oth- er actually voted together. The occasion was a motion drawn up by the Planning Board and de- signed to control the sanitation problem existing in certain areas. of the township. The motion, which reads as follows: "That for reasons of san- itation this Council bring in a by-law restricting all resi- dences in areas covered by registered plans to single family occupancy, and that wherever requests are made for, or uses made of double or multiple family dwell- ings, whether in planned or unplanned area‘s, the Build- ing Inspector or other Town- ship Official clear the request or use through the Medical Officer of Health". was passed with Reeve Timbers, Deputyâ€"Reeve James and Coun- cillor Lennie voting in favor of it, and Councillors LeMasurier and Hooper‘ voting against it. Councillor LeMasurier felt the resolution was the wrong ap- proach and wanted the problem attacked from the point of sani- tation Mr. Lennie stated the by- law would primarily govern new construction. Tenders After advertising for tenders. members have had only one bid submitted to them for the con- struction of their new township offices at Buttonville. As it was the general feeling of Council that the figure quoted by this one lone contractor‘was excessive, no action was taken until the matter is 'considered further.

" Over 500 people attended the first sale of handicrafts held on the afternoon of June 4, at “Kingâ€" swold,” the home of Sir Ellsworth and Lady Flavelle. The booths of hand work were arranged in the large garage at the entrance gate, and for most of the afternoon it was crowded with interested pur- chasers. Summer nylon bags were very popular. also pretty ta- ‘ole mats, hooked coaster mats, small leather goods, children’s smocked frocks and metalwork made by the Teencrafters. Out- side were very interesting set- gngs for the Caledonia Market. lower Shop and baked goods. and all were well patronized. In fact a line-up awaited the opening of the cake booth. This sale was unusual in the fact that the money received for the: handicrafts was returned to the maker. The only money that returned to the King- craft Guild was from the Cale- donia Market. the Flower Shop. the cake booth and the raffle tick- ets. .

York County Health Unit Reports On Sanitation During recent weeks the health unit has been particularly conâ€" cerned with food sanitation in the restaurant field. and with sanita-I tion in subdivisions. Food Sanitation Each municipality in the health unit has been asked to adopt a system of licensing such business- es at restaurants, lunch counters, and snack-bars, if licensing of eat- ing establishments is not already in effect in the municipality. The value in licensing such businesses is to produce a closer control over the springing-up of new restaur- ants that may not be relied upon to prepare and handle food safe for human consumption, and will tend to prevent evasive changing of ownership of poorly operated and poorly equipped restaurants. At the present time only -the Town of Newmarket has a restau- rant licensing by-law in the health unit. and it is recommended that each municipal council in the health unit adopt a licensing by- law as soon as possible. General Sanitation The extremely difficult prob- lem of waste disposal in the High- land Park. Doncaster, and Thorn- hill area has taken a step closer to being solved. At the request of the health unit, a survey of this area has been made by the Provincial Department of Health during the past month.

After the events all the girls en- joyed their supper around a camp- fire and sang songs. The presentaâ€" tion of the shields and ribbons then took place. The Guides and Brownies were most fortunate in having their own Area Commissioner Mrs. H. R. Howden. visit them at the rally, and Mrs. Howden graciously con- sented to remain and present the prizes. Three of the four girls to attend National Camp. as Division rep- resentatives, were present .at the rally and were introduced to all the girls and leaders present. They were Margaret MacArthur from Thornhill,‘ Jill Facer from Richvale and Joyce Ann Duncan from Scarboro. The Guides and Brownies and their leaders thanked Mrs. D. R. Gunn, Division Commissioner. who was a floating Judge, receiver of all visitors, and great help to everyone present at the rally. Mrs: McTaggart-Cowan, who so ably managed the RA. system and kept track of all results. Last but by no means least Mrs. John MacNeil, convenor of the rally, who pre- pared everything in such an effic- ient manner, assisted by her com- mittee of Miss Evelyn Thorney- croft, Mrs. Jenkins and Miss Marâ€" igold Brown. The rally program ended with the Brownie and Guide good-night songs ious menace to the health of the people in the community. A poor situation has been made worse in some cases by what would appear to be slip-shod methods on the part of the contractors doing the work of installing the waste dis- posal systems. The problem is of great concern to the residents in the area and it has been discussed in detail with many of the individual own- ers, the local rate-payers organiz- ation, and the Markham Township council. Because it is felt that the pres- ent difficulties in this area will increase as time goes by, the health unit recommended in Nov- ember 1951 that the Township en- gage a consulting engineer tosur- vey the area and to recommend a solution to what is already a com- munity problem. The health unit pointed out that a municipal sew- erage system appeared to be the obvious answer. It has been fur- ther recommended by health un- it that the Township of Markham adopt a new and revised septic tank by-law to assist in obtaining better workmanship in the install- ing of septic tank systems. During last month. at the re- quest of the health unit, the Prov- incial Department of Health dis- patched an engineer to survey the problem. The report just receivâ€" ed from the Department of Health for the province emphasizes again the health unit‘s recommenda- tions to the municipality. A suggested septic tank by-law has been forwarded to three other municipalities in the health unit. It is recommended that the local councils consider adoption of the by-law in order to assist in con- trol of new installations and to assist in rectifying numerous ex- isting problems.

Telephone Rich- mond Hill TUrner 4â€"1261. MAAAM Vaughan Township Council provided for additional poll- ing sub-divisions at its meeting Tuesday morning, by in. tructing Clerk Jas. McDonald to draw up a by-law covering the establishment of eight new ones throughout the town- ship. At present there are only three, the total number to be eleven when the additional ones are formed. ‘ Due to population increases. ang requests from taxpayers, counc felt new polling sub-divisions were necessary. with Clerk McDonald pointing out that if a sub-division has around one hundred and fifty voters in its area it is considered alright, but if over that number a change is recommended. There was some doubt as to whether to make the changes now or wait until a later date, but coun- cil later agreed, as explained by Reeve McMurchy, that “it is better to make the divisions now as the population will continue to grow}: Before the change. Thornhill had one polling sub-division, now it will have five. Richvale will also be divided into four more sub-divis- ions. with Elgin Mills still remain- ing as one. ( Moves Up To Chief Constable Ernie Bone of the township pol- ice was appointed Chief Constable by council. with Wm. Adams ap- pointed as the Deputy. Chief Con- stable Bone has been on the force for two years, working for the township for over ten years. Con- stable Adams has worked for the township for two years. Due to the resignation of Wm. Skidmore from the Force, the pol- ice were left short-handed”, so the council appointed George Bailey of Maple as part time constable. Con- stable Baker is the other member of the force, being employed by the township for one year. Chief Constable Bone and Con- stable Adams and Baker requested raises in salaries. which would bring their yearly income up to $3,000 for each of them. They ex- plained that due to the long hours that they must work. and the fact that there is twice as much police work to do in the Township as last year, they felt they were entitled to increases. They pointed out that they would not continue to be em- ployed by the township for any- thing less than $3,000 a year. as the job to them was not worth any- thing less. stating that police- men in neighbouring municipalities were getting higher salaries than they were. Reeve McMurchy said that he had not heard any criticism of the police and that they were doing a good job. He mentioned that var- ious pension plans had been pres- ented to them for the township em- ployees and asked the Constables whether they would consider a pension plan, for which the munic- ipality would pay five per cent and the constables five per cent out of The fine community service the Lions new Hall is rendering to Richmond Hill and District is borne out by the numerous or- ganizations that are making use of its facilities. This attractive building situated on Centre Street is rapidly becoming an important and integral part of the commun- ity. It is fulfilling a real need by affording groups which would otherwise be without a satisfact- ory meeting place somewhere to centre their activities. Lions Hall Playing Important Role In Life Of Community Since its official opening Feb- ruary 27 of this year Paul Angle, chairman of the Management Committee reports that 40 meet- ings have been held on the prem- ises by 10 different organizations. In the same period the Lions themselves have only used the hall nine times.
