Thorn- hill W.I. are holding a Fall Fair with afternoon tea. c2w14 Richmond Hill’s industrial development program will be officially inaugurated this week when construction work will commence on a new factory building on Centre Street East. The Oak Ridges Lions Club en- tertained the ladies to a sumptu- ous turkey supper at Lion Grant McCachen’s "Ridge Inn" on Mon- day night. So many Lions and 1a- dies turned out that extra tables had to be set up. Several Lions who appeared without ladies were promptly fined. Mr. and Mrs. A. Armstrong were present, guests of Lion Stan Rule, and Mr. and Mrs. W. Hollingshead of Schomberg were guests of Lion Tim Woolley. Roll call by the secretary was an- swered by the member’s lady who had to tell her Lion’s worst fault. Guest Speaker The factory building approximately 79 by 175 feet will be built by the United Flexible Metallic Tubing, Canada Ltd., for the manufacture of metallic tubing. It is estimated the plant when in eperatign will emplqy forty to fifty people. The new plant will be modern in every respect and-located in accordance with plans of the new Planning By-Law will be built on a lot purchased from the municipality of Richmond Hill, and as far as possible district labor and services will be employed. _ Popular Ladies Night Held By Oak Ridges Lions Club Enjoy Turkey Dinner New Industry For Village - United Flexible Metallic Tubing Canada Ltd., is a branch of a British firm and the president of the company in Canada by coincidence was born in Richmond Hill. England. The company maufactures a special type of metallic tubing for which there is a keen and growing demand. The site of the new plant fronts on both Centre Street east and Pugsley Avenue and contains something over two acres. Much credit was given to clerk Russell Lynétt for the lo- cation here of a new industry. “Our worthy clerk deserves the credit for this deal,” said councillor Middleton. Reeve W. J. Taylor and members of council have express- ed satisfaction with the new development and are confident that it is just the beginning of extensive industrial growth here. The youngest and oldest ar- tists of the show will be of in- terest. Have we a "Grandma Moses" in our midst? Is a Tom Thompson sprouting in our community. All those who paint for fun are urged to show their work with kindred souls who some day may make Richmond Hill famous for its arts and artists. Have paintings delivered by Friday noon. October 17, to Lions' Community Hall or phone Mrs. Rabinowitch, TU. 4-2117. Artists of Richmond Hill and district are invited to ex- hibit paintings and drawings either framed or matted at the Art Gallery of the Lions’ Fair, October 17 and 18. It is hoped to receive paint- ings from six year old artists right up to 100 years. Another application enquiring about byâ€"laws in the township was received from an engineering re- search firm which proposes to erect a factory on the Cobham farm on the 7th. concession. As their proposals do not contravene any existing by-laws and as it seems to be a desirable industry, council gave their approval. Both of‘ these industries require only hydro service and will look after water and sewage themselves. They also plan to employ a large percentage of local help. Private Bus Line. A letter was read from Gordon Mortson of Victoria Square who wishes to operate a private bus- line in the area of Vaughan that was previously serviced by a Public School bus. The parents in this area have requested this service to pick up school children who must walk now that the Pub- lic School service has been dis- continued. Council ruled that the township assumes no respons- ibility in the matter and that Mr. Mortson will have to obtain a government permit to operate in the area. At a recent meeting, council revealed that two industries are planning to locate in Vaughan township in the near future. The Robinson Clay Products Co. ap- plied for permission to have a railway siding to serve a proposed factory, cross an undeveloped sec- tion of road at end of Garden Ave. The council admitted no liability to the road at present but as soon as it is improved as proposed by the company, the township will assume it and the siding will be permitted. November 3rd. will be Father and Son or Daughter night with each Lion being allowed to bring one of each. Mr. George DeWitt will show films. Stan McNeil of Pine Grove appeared before council on the matter of road surface water runâ€" ning over his land. It appears that the travelled portion of the road which is on a higher level than the McNeil property was put on the half of the 66 ft. right-of- way nearest to the McNeil land by During a general discussion of the activities of the coming season it was pointed out by Lion C; L. Stephenson that the Lions Club is but the trustees of the funds en- trusted to them. The work of a service club is in direct proportion to the support monetary, or other- wise, of the community which it serves. This community will be asked to support euchres, a turkey shoot , a bingo etc. in order that that the Lions Club may respond to the calls made upon it. A ser- ies of teas will be held.by ladies, each lady entertaining a few of her own friends outside the Lions Club to afternoon tea in her own home. Lionism will be the sub- ject discussed and a collection plate for the work of the Lions will be displayed in a prominent place. Square Dance. Police Help Building Inspector New Industries Plan To Locate In Vaughan TWp. The evening ended in a square dance with Mrs. Hollingshead at the piano and Lions Jack Blyth and Edward Hawman calling off. ests, soil and our rivers to be kept pure” are the natural resources. Trails up the river valleys are be- ing laid out. It will be possible for teachers to take classes on all day hikes through these natural beauty spots teaching the boys and girls how to preserve and care for the wild life they contain, how to enjoy nature and appreciate its wonders. Discuss Activities In Essentials, Unity,- Elias Beemer, Langstaff real estate agent appeared before council on behalf of his clients, who wish to open the Paige sub- division, for council’s decision on the matter. Reeve McMurchy in- formed Mr. Beemer that on the advice of the planning board hired by the township, all sub-divisions have been turned down in the past year and as yet, it has seemed unwise to relax this policy. Mr. Beemer felt that prospective buy- ers of lots in the proposed devel- opment were suffering a great injustice at the hands of the township. Reeve M. McMurchy pointed out that there were ,some six hundred choice building lots still available in the township and the planning board advised that until some of these were sold it would be unwise to permit more housing developments. Mr. Beem- er complained also about poison ivy in the township and he was assur- ed that if he indicated the areas in which it was found, it would be attended to by the weed inspector. The Department of Welfare for Ontario advised council that the cost of medical services to persons on relief would be raised from 83c to $1.05. The matter of erosion in the Ball sub-division was discussed and the township engineer will investigate the possibility of installing a 250 ft. culvert to carry the water away. Council also decided that the tem- porary building inspector. George Bailey. should have some help dur- ing the heavy building season. Chief Constable Bone and the pol- ice force have oflerea their assist- ance. A motion was also passed to purchase 1,000 ft. of snow fence and steel posts. SCARBORO : Debentures amount- ing to almost $9,000,000 must be floated this year in order to contin- ue the works programme. the sub-divider befo was assumed by the Council was of the if the track was put of the allowance and ing done, the situa remedied. Sub-division refused. It is recognized that interrup- tions to power create a serious in- convenience to customers and ev- ery effort is made to advertised the times in advance so that peop- le will be prepared. In this in- stance cards were posted at strateg~ jc points in the area and a sound- equipped truck was brought in from Sutton to patrol the streets and announce the event. Mr. L. J. Roy. Area Manager, ad- vises that in order to work safely on these lines which carry 4000 volts between wires, it was necess- ary to have a power interruption Wednesday afternoon to the south west area of the Village. Since these poles also carry circuits which feed Maple and beyond, an interruption to a major portion of the countryside was averted by opening switches at the corner of Dufferin and Vaughan Road and feeding the area west of Dufferin from the Thornhill station via lines which run west on No. 7 highway and north on Keele St. dents in the area above and east of Minden now have daily mail de- livery by truck instead of a tri- weekly train service. In order to provide additional power to supply the new pumping station located on Arnold Cres- cent in Richmond Hill, it has been necessary to string another wire along Vaughan Rd. to Arnold Cres. and north to the pumphouse where two transformers have been erect- ed, the Hydro reports. It was necessary to obtain addi- tional clearance from trees on Vaughan Road and Mr. Roy wishes to express his appreciation to those who so graciously gave permission to have their trees trimmed. HALIBURTON COUNTY : Resi- New Pumping Station Supplied With Power RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9th. 1952 Stop 11 has been extended to Stop 12A. Four early runs and four late runs have been eliminated at an expected sa- ving of $40,000. However those buses taken off will not inter- fere with the rush hours. The new rates will be kept in ef- fect for October and then on November 10, the TTC will make a comprehensive report to the Municipalities as to pro- fiit and loss under the new scheme. The TTC is anxious to keep the new fare structure in operation at least until the end of the year in order to re- duce the overall 1952 deficit. At last week's meeting of the representatives of the four municipalities (North York, Twp.. Markham Twp.. Vaugh- an Twp. and the Village of Richmond Hill). who operate the North Yonge Bus Line and officials of the TTC several changes in the schedule were made. These alterations were mainly made due to the recent strenuous objections voiced by those people using the line._ In Non-essentials, Liberty,- In all Things, Charity. ” North Yonge Bus Line before the road ' the township. the opinion that put in the center and proper ditch- situation will be 1917 -â€" Money was raised by public subscription to renew the roof on the hall. Also in 1917 the Farmers' Club was organized and it has used the hall reguarly for its meeting place up to the present time. 1921 â€" With a donation from the Women’s Institute, new seats were purchased and a new ceiling was added to the auditorium. 1927 â€" With the aid of commun- ity subscription and generous don- ations by the W.I.. W.A.. Dramatic Group and Farmers’ Club, the hall was again enlarged. After five years, owing to diffi- culty in getting lease of land upon which the hall stood, it was moved across the Fifth Concession to the farm which is now owned by Roy Fisher. On this location it was used by the “Good Templars," also as a singing school under the lead- ership of Jacob Hoover from 1882- 1889. From 1889-1895 the hall was used very infrequently. 1925 â€" A wooden floor to cover the cement floor was laid. 1926 â€" A piano was donated by the Women's Institute. 1928 â€" Carson Smith gave a deed to the site to a board of trus- tees, James Mitchell, Wm. Locke, and Walter Anderson. The first trustee board was Am- os Bean, Daniel Snider and James Garton. 1930 â€" Wesley Stong was the first of three trustees to sign a 20- year contract for hydro, and. with electrician Harold Evans doing the wiring, in January 1931, the hall was again re-opened. World War II Seventy-five years ago, accord- ing to the available records, Edge- ley Community Hall was built on the farm of the late Joseph Burk- holder, later owned by Ernest Stong, with open drive-shed in front story and auditorium up- stairs. It was built because of the necessity for a hall for the use of the organization of the Indepen- dent Order of Good Templars. It was built by contributions of mon- ey, material and labor. First Board of Trustees Early in 1895 the hall’was mov- ed to the property of James Gar- ton on the east side of the black- smith shop. It was used regular- ly by the “Order of Chosen Friends” under whose assistance it was relined upstairs to take the place of plaster which was dam- aged by being moved so often. History of Hall From 1900 1900 â€" It was used by Professor Thompson who gave singing less- ons. 1902 â€"- The hall was moved to its present site and renovated. The shed below being no longer re- quired owing to the church shed across the way, the hall was c\losed in on the ground floor and twelve feet added to its length. which was quite an improvement at that time. During the war years the hall was the scene of many activities in aid of war charities such as the Red Cross, British War Victims Fund, etc. Local Business Assessment More Than Tripled For ’53 Dr. Helen Sawyer Hogg, Richmond St., Richmond Hill, a distinguished research astronomer on the Faculty of the University of Toronto was honoured by Mount Holyoke Coll- ege, South Hadley, Mass, U.S.A., at its October 4 Convocation on Science and Human Values for outstanding work in the field of Astronomy. Mrs. Hogg was one of 29 women who re- ceived citations at the convention in recognition of their ef- forts in the field of Science. Assesgor's Report History Of Edgeley Community Hall Dates Way Back To 1877 Completely Re-Decorated Mrs. Joan White, treasurer, gave a detailed financial report and members were brought to realize the need for concentrated work to- ward the bazaar. Present Projector To School Board The Maple Community and School Club held its monthly meet- ing in the Maple School on October 1, with Mrs. Det Palmer presiding. Principal Bird showed two inter- esting films using the recently pur- chased projector, the members of the School Board viewing one of these films. The phone captains will be call- ing all members to give detailed information regarding contribu- tions for the bazaar.- Mrs. Det Palmer on behalf of the club presented the projector to the School Board with Trustee Saunderson thanking the club for it: gift. Early this year “Exit" lights were installed over the doorways and plywood siding added on the main floor. Last week, for the first time in its history. the inter- ior main floor of the hall was pain. ted. What pride our predecessors must have felt 75 years ago, as they gazed upon their newly built Community Hall, void of all paint and exposing to view the nicely grained timbers and the good work- manship which had been done by hand! But time has wrought many changes and the once shiny new interior has long since be- come dull and darkned with age. But that is all changed now. The present board of trustees, Laurence Keffer, Percy Puterbaugh and Al- bert Mitchell and their able paint- er George Craib, must have last week sensed that same feeling of pride in a job well done. Many Changes Club members are invited to at- tend a meeting of the Patterson School Club on October 16. Trans- portation will be provided for all members desiring to attend. ..These are the many changes which have taken place in the com- munity hall during the past three quarters of a century. These chan- ges could not have been made possible but,for the generous sup port of public spirited citizens and the services, always, of an able board of trustees who have given countless hours of their time and a great deal of effort for the bene- fit of the community hall. The roof was again repaired in 1950, and in 1951, 25 chairs and a ladder were bought. This same year the ladies of the Women’s Association painted and varnished the dining hall on the second floor. Main Floor Painted In 1944, the late Dr. Albert At- kinson donated the sum of $307.00 for the purchase of outer siding for the hall. "We", said Mr. Coathup, “never told the township to leave Union- ville. You are going against public opinion, the township offices have been in this village many years.” “You should approach the people and let them decide," added the speaker. “We were told to leave Unionville", claimed Mr. Hooper. Mr. H. Coathup -â€" “You never au- thorized the Trustees to buy you property". Continuing Mr. Coat- hup asked, "was anybody else be- sides the owner of the Buttonville property ever approached?" “We did look at three other properties“, replied Mr. Hooper. Deputy-Reeve A. James who act- ed as chairman of the meeting in the absence of Reeve W. Timbers who is away in Ottawa this week attending the International Plow- ing Match offered the delegation no support, “this is a useless ges- ture for it is common knowledge we are going to build at Button- ville.” Councillor A. Lennie stat- ed, “this offer by Mr. Flaska is a very handsome gesture but it‘s about six months too late.” Coun- cillor C. Hooper, who was extreme- ly outspoken on the matter insist- ed the delegation’s offer be she!- ved until the Reeve returned. Deputy-Reeve James â€" “all you are trying to do is embarrass the Council”. Councillor A. LeMas- urier then entered the debate to say, “due to all the objections why not postpone the final decis- ion on the township offices until we call a vote of the people.” De- puty-Reeve James disagreed with this suggestion, “No, the matter shouldn't be referred to a vote." Councillor Hooper, “there aren’t very many people opposed to the Richmond Hill’s municipal assessment for 1953 will to- tal $1,815,428, an increase of $148,130 over this year, it was revealed in the annual report of assessor W. S. Pocknell sub- mitted to council Monday evening. This is exclusive of the assessment of the newly annexed area which it is estimated will amount to about $417,300. to make a likely total assess- ment for the village next year of $2,232,728. Unionville Delegation Attend Markham Twp. Regarding New Offices The report presented by the assessdr was featured by a. marked increase in business assessment, which is more than three_times the present year’s assessment. Business assessment of $97,460, an increase of $67,441. Taxes next year will be levied on a business assessment in Richmond Hill of $97,460. which is an increase of $67,441. over this year. The increase is due in small part to some business expansion but is mainly due to increased assessment on existing business. In commenting on the increase assess- or Pocknell said without exception business assessments have been imposed in accordance with the AssessmentAct.” The figures for this year' s assess- ment are as follows: Lands. $383,- 701 an increase of $17, 317. Buildings, $1,327,242; an in- crease of $83,872. This makes a total of $2,308,403. from which there are exemptions of $492,975, leaving a net taxable assessment of $1,815,428. The annual census shows a total population of 2340 being an in- crease of 137. To this will be ad- ded the population of the annexed area, figures for which are not yet available. The procedure regarding the as- sessment of the newly annexed area is that after the final order from the Municipal Board the Rich- mond Hill council will pass a by- law accepting the assessments in the new area as made by Markham Township assessor, and notice of such acceptance will be given all ratepayers. This will' be accepted as assessment for the first year and in future the assessment will be carried out by the village as- sessor. An- otherwise quiet meeting of Markham Township Council erupt- ed last Monday when a three-man delegation from Unionvllle com- posed of Village Trustee H. Coat- hup, and Messrs. E. Stiver and A. Harrington waited on the Council in order to make an offer of land for the new township offices. The delegation on behalf of L. F. Flaska, Unionville farmer offer- ed to deed five acres of land sit- uated on No. 7 highway gratis to the township for use in the con- struction of their new offices. Work was temporarily halted on the offices by last Monday’s ruling of the Municipal Board. The assessor’ 3 report dealt brief- ly with re- -assessment. The report said “May I say a few words with respect to the much talked of “Re- assessment", for the benefit of those who use the term loosely without knowing what it means. The present basis is on 1940 val- ues which was accepted as “Norm- al”, personally I cannot define the word “normal". We are certain of one thing that much water has Offer To Donate Land HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 ADVERTISE IN THE LIBERAL ESTABLISHED 1878 READ BY 10,000 PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS EVERY WEEK Earlier in the meeting on ques- tioning by Councillor A. LeMasurâ€" ier on the overall cost of construc- ting the township offices which fi< gure was requested by the Munici- pal Board. Deputy-Reeve James stated “we are now working on bids for the wiring and heating." Councillor LeMasurier, “are you going to advertise for tenders?” Deputy-Reeve James â€" “No, the matter has been left in the hands of the Engineer and the Contrac- tor." “Are you,” asked Mr. Le. Masurier, “going to get local com- petitive tenders?” “Any tenders," stated Mr. James will be submitted to the Building Commitee by the Engineer and the Contractor." Constable R. P.

Such factors as sup- ply and demand and the question of balanced housing supply has to be considered. Some even use the word inflation as operative over the 1940 values. but, are they in- flated? I am sure that none of us would want to go back to 1940 and be willing to work for the same salaries or wages of 1940. I do not purpose to go into details. but as an example look at our sales values. A house costing in 1940 $4,000.00 and selling at $4,400.00 has jumped to a replacement val- ue of $10,000.00 and sales value of $11,000.00. The greater portion of this increase has been due to increasing construction costs and not inflation sales price. So long as the builder can make a‘ profit such conditions are here to stay. Therefore the reassessment will be made on the 1950 basis which is considered the normal period for these times. The assessments will be higher and the mill rate ob. viously lower. An effort is still being made to have all assess« ments on a uniform basis through- out Ontario. but, I still reserve my own opinion, which is not an isol- ated one that the Asesessor can arrive at equality of rating values within his own municipality and let the County make a separate as- sessment for its own purpose. then and then only equality of County rates can be obtained." Buttonville site." In ending the debate Deputy- Reeve James stated “I won’t make any statements or committments until the Reeve is here". Council- lor Hooper, “adjourn the meeting." “Five acres”, commented Mr. Len- nie, “of very valuable land is be- ing donated, and the Council should keep an open mind and give the matter careful thought at a full meeting." The Unionville Trustees will at- tend the October 20 meeting of Council and reâ€"present their offer. Tenders Wiring and Heating King Twp. Sheep Claims 0n Increase Sheep claims from injury by dogs, have increased in the township of King, and in the past week claims amounting to $700 have been sent to the Council of King township. At the monthly meeting on Mon- day, October 6, it was announ- ced that this sum covers three claims. From one farm, Mof- fatt Bros., west of Nobleton, 15 sheep were killed, and many were injured on one night last week. The claim from this farm amounts to $511. FINED $50
