The Board of Trustees of Union- ville police village and the Chair- man of the Community Centre will be requested to attend the next meeting of Council in order to consider an important matter con- cerning both bodies. Mr. W. Reddy who resides at the east end of Helen Avenue which is south of Unionville wan- ted the ditches in his area dug out. Mr. J. Cattanach Markham vill- age lawyer representing the Scott property, lot 4 in Box Grove, ask- ed the Council to consider the clos- ing of an unopened road leading into the Rouge River near his pro- perty. No action was taken as the matter would require the approval of the County Council. ”That’s an indefinite answer,” re- plied Mr. Armstrong. Mr. Harry Johnston appearing on behalf of the Highland Park Ratepayers said, “we urgently re- quest Council to inspect and im- prove the ditches and fill the pot holes in the Highland Park roads." In reply Deputy-Reeve James com- mented. “Highland Park has the best roads of any subdivision in this township." Road Superinâ€" tendent Art. Buchanan promised to fill the pot holes. It was also disclosed at the meet- ing that work has commenced on the swimming pool being built in the new township park at Vandorf. Dr. R. W. Morningstar put a claim against the township for $40 for sheep killed and injured by dogs in the township.

A requefist for anvadvance of $500. from S. S. No. 7 school was granted by council. Council also decided to send a petition to the Toronto and York Roads Commissions asking for a 30 mile speed limit for 7/10ths of a mile on the Don Mills Road through Vandorf. This request was made due to the incrased traf- fic and the speed at which it tra- vels through the village. The owners of Willow Beach Dance Hall at Wilcox Lake have been notified by council that the hall must be put in safe condition for dances before it can be rented it was reported at the meeting.

The delegation thanked the board for its hearing and for clear~ ing up many matters which had puzzled them.

He said that Mr. Mortson who operates the school bus, is now negotiating for Mrs. J. C. Cottrill of Richmond Hill was hired by the board to teach at the public school this term Chairman Pollard went on to say that the board started school bus service in these areas three years ago, without being asked to do so ,because of the danger of the highway. “We wanted to pro- tect the children from the heavy traffic,” he added. At that time it cost us $900 â€" today if we had continued the full route it would have cost us $4300, the increase due to a larger number of child- ren to be transported and the need of another bus to accommo- date the children. Public School Bd. Hears Delegations Last Thursday night a delega- tion of eight from the Elgin wait- ed on the Board at its meeting at the Public School. Chairman Jas. Pollard explained fully the board’s action in the matter pointing out that “even if we saw fit to grant you your request it would be im- possible to do so now since we have not allowed for this extra transportation in our budget for this year”. Richmond Hill Public School Board heard delegations this month from Elgin Mills and Rich- vale areas who requested that the school bus service in their areas he continued as in the last two years This year bus transporta- tion from the corner of Bathurst and Elgin Mills sideroad and on Oxford St. to Yonge Street at the Elgin was discontinued by the board as well as on Hunt’s Lane, Bayview and Markham Road in Richvale.

Oak Ridges Group The matter of whether the Council should interview the four applicants for Township Treasur- was revived by Councillor A. Len- nie. “Has the whole idea been dropped?” quizzed Mr. Lennie. Deputy-Reeve A. James felt there wasn’t much point in interviewing the applicants. A further sugges- tion by Councillor Lennie that the Council approach their Auditor for ideas regarding a possible Treas- urer was opposed by Councillor C. .Hooper. Councillor A. LeMasur- ier wanted any applicants to be interviewed by the Auditor as well as the Council. As a compromise it was decided that the two new ap- plicants (two of the four applying had applied previously) plus any others who may appear will be in- terviewed at next Monday even- ing's meeting.

This land is necessary for use in a 66 foot roadway leading into the new Thornlea Public School. Mr. Robv inson of Brampton, owner of the property, has indicated he will sell the 1/2 acre of land for $500.00 but refuses to dedicate it. As a poss- ible solution to the problem the Road Committee (James and H00- per) will approach Mr. Robinson in this matter. Joint Engineer to serve both townships. In speaking to the resolution Mr. Lennie stated "In that way we would have the con- stant advice and service of a Pro- fessional Engineer". At.present any engineering problem the township may have is handled by a Toronto firm of Consulting En- gineers. In 1951 Markham town« ship' paid out $4,950.00 to these consulting engineers and this year's bill will be somewhat high- er. “The idea is alright", stated Deputy-Reeve James, "but a lit- tle premature".
