General Mill Rate Reduced For ’53 Markham township residents are due to experience some relief in the general township mill rate for 1953. At a special meeting of the Township Council held last Thurs- day the members struck the town- ship mill rate for the coming year. All Depts. Down Except Police There has been a slight drop in the general mill rate from the 1952 ï¬gure of 6.6 mills to 6.0 mills. There also has been further re- ductions in the township Road and Fire Department estimates. The 1952 Road rate has been re- duced from 11.0 mills to this year’s 9.5 mills, while the Fire depart- ment has dropped from 1 mill to 0.7 of a mill. There has been a slight increase in the cost of pol- ice protection from 1952’s ï¬gure of 2.78 mills to this year's 3.0 mills. To this towï¬ship total of 19:2 mills will be added the levies of the various elementary and sec- ondary school boards which oper- Trustee rate Sch. Area No. 1 Markham-Vaughan . Debenture rate Sch.

Present plans call for a 1 story school containing 9 classrooms and one larger room for use as 3 Kindergarten. The building will also have a Principals office, 2 teachers rooms. health room, and a‘ utility room. The classrooms will be arranged with 5 classrooms along each side of the main cor- ridor. The building will be heat- ed by a hot water system. In a rough estimate as to cost Mr. Parkin commented construct- ion costs would be in the vicinity of $13.00 a square foot; or $17,000 a classroom. A more accurate estimate as to cost will be deter- Many Attractions Planned For Richmond Hill’s Fair Thus there will be a small increase Mr. Parkin offered little hope of having the school completed by this coming September. Mr. Pol- lard “In that case we will aim to have 3 or 4 rooms completed by September and thus eliminate staggered classes." Type of School In opening the discussion Chair- man J. Pollard informed Mr. Par- kin that the Board had turned down his original plans for a cheaper but 'radically designed school for they felt the "plans were a little too dratstic." In referring to the erection of a con- ventional type school Mr, Parkin stated "it will be a straight for- ward proposition based on the ac- commodation required." Not Completed By Sept. Toronto Architect J. B. Parkin attended last Thursdays regular meeting of the Richmond Hill Pub- lic School Board in order to dis- cuss with the Trustees the build- ing of their proposed new school.

Other attractions this year in- clude the Jersey and Guernsey cattle show and a new feature this year the market hog class. There will be a tractor rodeo, sheep dog demonstration, punch and judy show. a square dance competition, horseshoe pitching, an extensive midway, band music and all the attractions of a country Fair. A breakdown of the mill rate for that part of the so-called “front end" of the township (i.e. that part affected by School Area No. 1 and the Richmond Hill Dis- trict High School) is as follows -â€" The day's program will conclude with a monster old time dance in the arena. There will be substan- tial lucky ticket prizes for both af- ternoon and evening. Speaking to The Liberal this week President Rumble asked the cooperation of the people of the district in making the Fair 8 suc- cess. Everyone can help he said, by starting now to boost the Fair, talking about its attractions and inviting their friends to spend Vic- toria Day this year in Richmond Hill. Based on the annual budgets of School Area No. 1 Markham- Vaughan and the Richmond Hill District High School Board there will be a raise in the mill rate for those residents of Markham town- ship who are served by these two boards. The trustee rate for School Area No. 1 has jumped from a 1952 ï¬gure of 16 mills to this year’s 20 mills, while the board’s debenture rate has risen from 7.2 mills to 7.4 mills. The mill rate for the Richmond Hill District High School has in- creased from 6.9 mills to a levy of 7.4 mills. 60.5 58.38 in the total mill rate for this area. Planning Board. 01' the Planning Board’s 1952 estimate of $2.500. the actual expenditures only am- ounted to $1,946. An increased budget outlay has been earmarked for the health unit in the coming year. This year’s budget calls for ah expen- diture of $6,700.00. compared to last year’s ï¬gure of $4,234.00. ate throughout the township School Rates Up A ruling has been obtained on the question of which of the two Municipalities either Richmond Hill or Vaughan township will float the debentures to cover the cost of the new site. As the 6 acre site is located in Vaughan township earlier reports indicat- ed that Vaughan would be re- quested to float the $12,000 de- benture issue necessary to pay for the property. Solicitor J. D. Lu- cas has informed the members that under recent Provincial amendments the Municipality in which the school is situated will issue the debentures. unless an- other Municipality undertakes to do so. Mr. Pollard reported the Board will then approach Rich- mond Hill Council and ask them to assume the responsibility of the debenture issue.t A further amendment by the Province dispenses with holding of a public meeting and a vote of the ratepayers on a new school site where the Councils concerned approve of the said site. Pre- viously the Municipal Board had insisted that the trustees consult the ratepayers before the Board would grant its approval to any debentuire issue. In an attempt to reduce costs Mr. Parkin suggested they save on finishes and such matters as using only one door to classroom. The new 6 acre site on which the school is to be built will be surveyed this week and a copy of the survey forwarded to Mr. Park- in for use in preparing his sketch. On completion of the preliminary sketch he will re-confer with the trustees. Debenture Issue mined after the Architect has completed his preliminary sketch. es.

Mr. Musson then asked Mr. Woolley to address the meet- ing. and he outlined the board’s plan, for a ï¬ve roomed brick ad- dition to the present brick school, to be joined to the old building by a corridor. A new heating sys- tem, and new plumbing, would be installed. to serve both buildings, and a new well installed to serve the old brick building, the new brick building and the annex. A new modern structure will provide accommodation for a Bowling Alley, a Restaurant and Tea Room and two stores. One of the stores will be occupied by Rob- ert Mansbridge, jeweller and watchmaker who has a store in the present building.

The propâ€" erty immediately south of The Richmond Theatre has been purchased by the Richmond Amusement Company and plans are now complete for the erection of a new business block. Eight of the ï¬nest obtainable bowling alleys will be installed on the ground level. They will be provided with the most up-to-date facilities for the accommodation of the growing number of people who enjoy this ï¬ne healthful in- door sport. O. Ridges Ratepayers Vote 25-15 For $101,000 5 Room Addition Some 300 children attend this school, which means there is a total of around 600 parents who are eligible to vote. As well there are a great many property owners who do not send children to school, yet are taxed for its upkeep. These 40 people turned out and voted, ï¬rst, by a show of hands, 31 for the addition and 10 against it. Two ratepayers asked for a closed ballot, and the result changed, to 25 for it and 15 ag- ainst. The meeting held in Oak Ridges School April 10, which was called by the school board, to give residents an opportun- ity to approve or reject the spending of $101,000 for a 5-room addition to the present brick school brought out 40 voters.

HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 LOW COST RESULTS Arrested In Lake Wilcox Break-In tor, was present and spoke briefly on the necessity of more accommo- dation and stated that the base- ment room being used was not ao- ceptable to the Department. Garï¬eld Cripps and Harvey Cripps were apprehended about 10.30 Saturday night while engago ed in carrying merchandise, and cleaning bags. out of the ware- house door at Ernest Davidson’s Groceteria at Lake Wilcox. A neighbor saw the men carrying cases and notiï¬ed Provincial Pol- ice who were cruising nearby. The officers arrested the men with the goods, which they were carrying to a truck parked just around the corner on the second concession. The men were locked up in Newmarket jail and appear- ed in court Tuesday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Davidson were en- tertaining friends in the living quarters above the store and were unaware of the excitement at the back of the warehouse until in- formed by neighbors. Constable Forester of the Vandorf detach- ment of the Provincial Police made the arrests. The Cripps brothers lived for a time at Lake Wilcox, but at present have no ï¬xed ad- dress. It is planned to start wrecking operations at once and it is hoped to have the new building ready for occupancy by the lst of September and the bowling alleys ready for use for the entire 1953-54 season. Ned Hill, manager of the Richmond Amusement Company said he was conï¬dent the bowling alleys would receive an enthusias- tlc welcome from the people of the district. “We have every conï¬- dence in the future of Richmond Hill," he said, “and we are anxious to do our part in promoting the welfare and development of the community by providing the very best in facilities for good whole- some entertainment and recrea- tion." tinuing the stone and glass pat- tern of the present Richmond The- atre building.
