Richmond Hill Dept. Of Education And King Twp. Give Tentative ApprovalTo $100,000 5 Room Addition To 0. Ridges School The School Board at Oak Ridges must be commended for the care and thought and hard work being put into the plan- ning for a new addition to take care of the six year olds, some 65_ in number who will be attending the already overcrowded school in September of this year. Tentative approval has been given by the Department of Education and by King Township Council to a five room brick addition to the pres- ent brick school, to cost $100,000. ‘ Representative A meeting called by Clerk Jack Crawford of Whitchurch was held in the Oak Ridges School Monday night and was chaired by Reeve Elton Armstrong of King Town- ship. Three members of Whit- church Township Council were present, Reeve Ivan McLaughlin, Councillor Sid. Legge and Coun- cillor Delos Graham and Clerk- treasurer Jack Crawford; from King Township Reeve Armstrong, Councillors Douglas Wellesley, Wm .Hodgson. Wm. Kehoe and Clerk Harold Rose. Members of Oak Ridges School Board, and the Board from S. S. 13 and several interested ratepayers and Inspector Maynard Hallman. inspector of Public Schools for York No. 9 and York No. 1, were also present. Mr! Ken Fox, of Thornhil], ap- proached Council requesting per- mission to erect a prefabricated taxi ofiice on the Blackburn prop- erty in Thornhill. In reply to Councillor Perry's question, Mr. Fox told Council that it was very difficult to obtain aproperty in Thornhill. He assured Council that his business would be operated on a high standard of cleanliness and courtesy. Deputy Reeve Rutherford stated “We've had enough trouble with this piece of property already. There are too many buildings on it now and I won’t agree to more being erected on it." Councillor Perry suggested that Mr. Fox meet with the village Trustees regarding a site for the We should stop knocking Communism and start boosting Democracy”, Walter C. Fisher, Past International President of Lions Clubs, told the 170 present at Richmond Hill Lions’ 15th anniversary meeting held last Thursday night in the Lions Hall. The club paid tribute to its 21 Charter mem- bers, one-half of whom are still active workers, with singular honor bestowed upon Robert Little who was presented with Fellow Lions from neighbouring communities were present for the occasion and came from the Moth- er Club of Newmarket; three Daughter Clubs._ Maple, Thornhill and Oak Ridges; Niagara Falls, West Hill Rouge Hillt Agincourt, Markham-Unionville, King and Bradford, to hear Mr. Fisher's ad- dress which centred around per- sonal service and the democratic way of living. Mr. Fisher, who was the second Canadian to be selâ€" ected as International President in the last 35 years, went ‘on to say that the Christian concept of living was through Democracy and if it was properly practiced there would be no fear of the future. "I’m inclined to agree with you , added Councillor Robson. taxL office Chairman Robert Woolley of the Oak Ridges Board outlined once more their problems and how they hoped to solve them for the im- mediate future, by the five room brick addition to the present school. This addition is to be built on the present site.

President D. Boyd presided. Commenting on the situation wherby some land is being literally washed away by the water, Coun- cillor James Robson said, “It will be a lucky thing if we manage to keep the matter out of the Courts.” He continued, “The pipe size that is proposed by the engineers will never carry the volume of water that collects there; it will just wash out the road again.” "Well. let’s reject the engineer’s plan,” replied Councillor John Perry. “Another engineer would‘not refute the other's plans", observed Deputy Albert Rutherford. “We may not be engineers but we un- derstand what water can do", he continued. “and we know this cul- vert Would be too small.” Plans call for a 36 inch pipe to drain water from approximately 30 acres. Council felt this insuffic- 'ent to carry spring rushes of wa- ter. I'Council decided to contact their solicitor regarding ~ their disap- proval of several points in the plan. Taxi Operator Councillor Robinson added, “They make it work on paper but it won’t be satisfactory in this case." In a letter from the firm of Margison and Babcock, en- gineers, the Vaughan Township Council learned at its meet- ing on Monday that the proposed drainage project for the Ball Subdivision would cost in the vicinity of $15,800; This project would be completed by September and the cost stret- ched over a 10 year period. The cost, will possibly be divided between the Subdivision owner, the t0wnship and the proper- ty owners concerned. The drainage in this area has proven a difficulty for some time and has now reached serious pro- portions warranting immediate attention. Lions Celebrate 15th. Anniversary - Half Of Charter Members Still Active b. Little -â€" 15 Yrs. Perfect Attendance They are business Reeve‘Ivan McLaughlin of Whit- church after listening carefuuly to the arguments presented in sup- port of this plan by Mr. Woolley, said, “Speaking for myself, I am in favor of granting tentative ap- proval to this plan.” Councillor Sid Legge of Whitchurch said, “Any addition should be built on' the east side of Yonge Street. No one can look ahead to what may happen here. Five years from now our problems will probably be greater. .Children are not allowed to cross the new Barrie Highway. The same situation will perhaps prevail on this highway. It might cost more, but the safety of our children is at stake.” Mr. Woolley pointed out that an addition east of Yonge Street would still mean that children would have to trav- el on the shoulders of the high- way travelling to and from school because there are no back streets laid out. - Department Grants One minute’s silence was obser- ved in tribute to the four Charter members now deceased â€" Lloyd Hill George Walwin, J. A. Greene and Dr. Frank Hogg â€" during the Necrology Service held in their memory. Dr. H. H. MacKay led in the service and four of the new- est members of the club â€" George Harte, Arthur Mitchell, Allan Hill and Dickson Miller -â€" lighted a candle for each of the deceased. The Lord’s Prayer was sung by Ross Smith, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Betty Harwood. The matter of the Sinking Fund for Thornhill swimming pool was referred to the township solicitor by Council before any action is taken. ' If it’s worth it. let's pay and be done with it,” commented Coun- cillor Perry. “Of course”, answer- ed the Deputy, “But with this per capita business, we are paying for the temporary residents of the residents of the northern areas who benefit from the service but who aren‘t included in the per capita figures.” Presenting the stand of the Unit, the Reeve. Marshall McMurchy said. “The Unit feels that this is the only solution to the debt which must be paid. When they reach government standards after the debt is paid, then we can re- turn to the Equalized Assessment basis." The Reeve and Deputy will meet this week with the Unit to discuss the matter further. The {minutes of the first two meetings of the club were read. The 21 Charter members were Council expressed concern at the great number of grass fires in the area recently. “It is a serious prob- lem," commented Councillor Rob- son. “Could we pass a by-law gw- erning grass fires?” questioned the Deputy-Reeve. “That would be useless", replied Councillor Perry. Council decided that people could only be urged to exercise the ut- most care in starting any grass fires. Health Unit The Council received a letter from the York County Health Un- it advising them that their share for 1953 services would amount to $6,243.52, and added that several of the municipalities had accepted the 1 mill on Equalized Assessment plus the 25c per capita charge. guests to Mr. Fisher. He, in turn, accepted a gift, presented to him by William Wiagner. Mrs. Fisher was given a bouquet of roses. Honour Charter Members _“Is there any que‘stion as t'o the value of the Unit?" asked Coun- cillor Perry. The Deputy replied, “There is some in the northern area but we get good service.” _ VSrfiééking of grants from the De- partment of EdUCation, Inspector Hallman said, “Based on past ex- men in the community and are most likely to have some suggest- ions,” he said. Grass Fires The question of school area was discussed. A chart had been pre- pared showing the mill rate in all The rate goes from a low of 4 mills to a high of 39 mills for 1952. The school sections in both townships. impossibility of getting the con- sent of districts with four mills to form an area with districts having a mill rate of 39 is obvious to all. The immediate need is desks for 65 children in September of this year at Oak Ridges. Mr. Sprague Troyer, a ratepayer, commented, “Councils should foster a township area. It may be impossible now but something to look forwarded to." he added. He had prepared a brief and is forwarding it to the Ontario and Dominion Govern- ments. Asked by Reeve Arm- strong if he expected to change the British North America Act, Mr. Troyer replied. “No, but every drop in the bucket helps, a change in financing is something we must have". perience you would receive 72% of cost of debenture payment. This fluctuates as the number of class- rooms increases or decreases. Dis- tricts with low assessment receive more assistance from the Depart- ment. A large industry coming into the district would lower the grant." School Area The meeting adjourned with the promise from Whitchurch Coun- cil that they would make a decision at their Thursday night meeting. James Stewart, J. E. Smith, Ralph Paris, Dr. W. J.
