Annexation became an accomplished fact on January lst. Total assessment in the annexed area is valued at $437.- 800. while the total population is 800. The meeting which was held at Unionville saw Richmond Hill rep- resented by Deputy-Reeve Ken Tomlin. Councillors Wes. Middle- ton and Jack Rice and Clerk Rus- sell, Lynett, while Markham Town- ship‘s full council was in attend- ance. Councillor W. Middleton. Chair- man of Richmond Hill's Road Comâ€" mittee acted as the village's main spokesman. Referring to the sub- ject of roads Councillor Middle- ton said, “I understand where two municipalities are served by the same road (town line) the munici- palities each pay 50% towards its maintenance". “Both Bayview and the Elgin Mills sideroad would fall under this category", added the speaker. Mr. Middleton then went on to suggest that, “Markham township maintain Markham side- road, the whole of which is in the village, at our expense”. Mr .Middleton â€"- “How much do you people charge per hour for the use of your equipment". Reeve Timbers â€" “There are different rates depending on the size of the grader used." grader used." Continuing the discussion Mr. Middleton asked, “Are all the roads throughout the annexed area 66 foot roads". Reeve Timbers â€"- “Yes, according to our registered plans.” Mr. Middleton â€"â€" "Do all the roads 'west of the railway tracks drain to the creek”. Reeve Tim- bers â€"â€" “Yes.” Mr. Middleton - “Has Markham Council made any committments concerning that part of Crosby Avenue located east of the railway tracks. Reeve Tim- bers â€"â€" “No”. Mr. Middleton â€" “Does Markham township own any land in the annexed areas". Reeve Timbers â€" “No, it‘s all privately owned”. R. Hill 8: Markham Tp. Discuss Annexation Details At Joint Meet In his opening remarks Reeve W. Timbers stated the purpose of the joint meeting was to “talk over certain matters related to annexa- ion such as the roads and the de- bentures". Deputy-Reeve A. James â€" “The roads are the biggest item, let our legal representatives han- dle the question of debentures." Deputy-Reeve Tomlin â€" “Well .hen it’s agreeable that Markham handle the Elgin Mills sideroad. and Bayview on a 50% basis and the Markham sideroad at our ex- pense”. Councillor Rice -â€" "A definite rate should be set tonight re cost of snow plowing”. Deputy- Reeve James â€"â€" “You’ll be charg- ed the current rate". On the strength of a resolution moved and seconded by Councillors Hooper and Lennie, Markham agreed to handle the aforementioned roads at the standard rental rates. Water Services Mr. Middleton -â€" “What roads are paid for”. Clerk C. Hoover â€"~ “I shall pass that information on to your Clerk." On the subject of water sgrvlces Councillor A. Lennie, chairman of the township Waterworks Commit- tee reported, “I understand the (Continued from page 1) and also whose one year term has expired was discussed. Councillor Clark, harking back to his election platform stated, “I have always felt a 5-man Board is just as efl'ic- ient as a 7 man Board, and I also don’t feel it’s advisable to appoint officials who are not residents of the municipality.” Deputy-Reeve LeMasurier â€" “I am quite in ac- cord with having it reduced to a five-man Board, such a move would also render a saving to the tax- payers. Reeve Timbers â€" "From the very outset I have advocated the establishment of a five-man Board. However a majority of council overruled me". Councill‘ or Hooper -â€" “With Messrs. James and Shorten no longer on the Board we can easily have it revert to a five-man Board.” Final de- cision on the matter was delayed until the next meeting. Other Appointments Roads, Main Topic Markham Tp. Council Inaugural Meeting Mr. William Spears. Unionvllle, was reappointed School Attendance officer for 1953 at an annual re- muneration of $100. The three township sheep valuators. Stan 1Boyington. Victoria Square. Gor- don Lunau, Markham, and Hugh Boyd. Stoufiville, were also reâ€"ap- Dointed for another year. Sanitation By-Law The pressing problem of ade- quate sanitation in Highland Park was up for discussion. In opening the debate Councillor Lennie re- ferred to the Board of Health’s recommendations, and his earlier resolution requesting that dwell- ings be used as one family units. Reeve Timbers felt such a by-law would be a step in the right dirâ€" ection ,if applied in the built-up areas. Deputy-Reeve LeMasurier â€"- “I objected to the original res- olution because'it would have been applicable to the whole township." Councillor Hooper disagreed with any such proposed byâ€"law stating. “If a septic tank is properly in- stalled you won’t have any sewage problems. “Furthermore you can't stop people from renting rooms in their own homes." he added. De- puty-Reeve LeMasurier â€" “This problem should be attacked from a sanitary angle. Why attempt to arbitrarily tell people whose sep- tic tank is working properly they must evict their roomers." Coun- cillor Lennie â€" “It is our duty to implement the recommendations of our Health Unit." Councillor Clark â€" “We pay out a lot of money each year in order to be- long to this unit, so why ignore its recommendations.” The following resolution then moved and second- ed by Councillors Lennie and Clark. “that the Planning Board village is not agreeable to billing the residents of Harding Park", Clerk Lynett â€" “We'll do the col- lecting if you people do the bill- ing”. Such an arrangement prov- ed acceptable to both municipal- ities. Markham township’s existing Building. Plumbing and land use by-laws remain in force throughout the annexed area until June 30 of this year. A joint meeting to discuss the debenture question between Clerks Lynett and Hoover and Solicitor J. D. Lucas will be arranged at a later date. Thomhill Village The Trustees of Thornhill Police Village have written Highway en- gineer J. V. Ludgate regarding the proposed purchase of a small trac- tor for use in cutting weeds and also for light snow removal from the village’s sidewalks. If granted Departmental approval the unit will be charged to the Police vill- age. Henderson Ave. _ Mrs. J. F. Ross who resides on the Johnston Ave. right-oi-way sit- uated in the Thornhill district, ap- peared before Council regarding the installation of a culvert at the entrance to her property. This is the same right of way that was the subject of several bitter Council meetings last July. Mrs. Ross re- ported that the acting Road Sup- erintendent had ordered her to re- move a 10-inch cement culvert from the entrance to her property. The reasons given for such action was that it was the wrong size cul- vert and secondly it extended over onto the township's one foot re- serve. Deputy-Reeve James â€" “It would be suitable providing you install the right size culvert.” Councillor Hooper â€" "Oh, no you can't extend over the one foot re- serve." Reeve Timbers -â€" "Every- thing‘likely would have been all right if you had asked council’s permission first". Councillor A. LeMasurier â€" “I would like to know who authorized the Acting Road Superintendent to take this arbitrary actions” Mr. LeMasur- ier received no answer to his-ques- tion. Continuing Mr. LeMasurier said, ‘last summer we did this same thing in order to accommo- date certain other parties in this district so why not play fair and accommodate Mrs, Ross now." Reeve Timbers â€" “That’s right.” Councillor LeMasurier â€"- “Fur- thermore if the culvert will satis- factorily take away all the water why have it removed." (The stan- dard size for entrance culverts is 15 inches). Reporting on the width of Hen- derson Ave. between Clarke and Morgan Aves. in the Doncaster dis- trict Road Committee Chairman Mr. James stated. “I checked with the Road Superintendent and he informed me that the road is the required 24 feet in width.” ‘ When the road is consolidated posts will be put along the sides,” he added. Mrs. Boss’s Culvert The whole Council with the ex- ception of Councillor Hooper ag- reed that Mrs. Ross should be all- owed to install a culvert provided it is the proper size. Rd. Supt. Deputy-Reeve James reported Road Superintendent Art Buch- anan is progressing favourably and has returned home after his so- journ in the hospital. [ Deal ol‘Nahanal Heallh and Wally.
