Ask For Vocational Option School A five-man delegation repres- enting ratepayers' groups in the five communities of Doncaster, TheHBoard Agreed that the bur- glary insurance policy handled by In view of the above facts and because this Board must be aware of the interests of the whole area rather than any one section, I sug- gest that to implement the resolu- tion as presented for further con- sideration on July 28 would be a reflection on the valued guidance which has already helped to deter- mine our policy." Hire Third CaretakeL unc Jun: I. ‘1â€"- ~.___, Arthur E. Gibbs of Lennox Ave., Richmond Hill, was hired as As- sistant Caretaker for the sshool at Now, to review the point of “ex- pert guidance”. I take it that it would be generally conceded that the personnel involved would conâ€" sist of the appointed officials of the Department of Education, the Chief Inspector of the Area, the lawyer employed by the Board and the Principal of the present school. On this basis I find that between June 1952 and the present time, there are nine recorded occasions where the whole Board or some member sought guidance from some of the above officials (exclu- sive of the Principal). Further- more the Board has at all times carefully followed all procedure of gathering and presenting statistics and surveys as directed both by its lawyer and the Superintendent of Secondary Education of the On- tario Department. In addition, the Board Chairman, as President of the Associated High School Boards of Ontario has an unusual oppor- tunity to be conversant with var- ious aspects of the present trend of Secondary Education. ion; (2) the resulting conclusion, although ambiguous as to the sub- ject implied, is also incorrect if it refers to the Board, the latter be- ing nine-tenths in full agreement of the type of High School needed. If the reference is to the opinions of the ratepayers I believe that re- gardless of how expert the advice or what conclusion was arrived at, the opinions of the many hundreds of ratepayers in the area would still be varied. V _ ‘ o May I say that I take definite ex- ception to the following words, “the apparent lack of expert guid- ance, resulting in many varied- op- inions of the type of High School needed” â€" becaus‘e (1) I believe the premise is incorrect, the Board having taken advantage of expert guidance on every possible occas- “Since I will not be at the meet- ing to-night, and believing that the resolution presented by the Dep- utyâ€"Reeve of Markham Township on July 28 will come before the Board for discussion, I herewith present my views on the same. Richmond Hill District High School Board endorsed a letter from Vice-Chairman Mrs. P. C. Hill at its Tuesday night meeting, in which she took exception to the resolution pres- ented by Deputy-‘Reeve Alf. LeMasurier of Markham Town- ship on July 28 and which criticized the Board’s “lack of ex- pert guidance” in the building of the proposed new school. The letter was written to the Board because Mrs. Hill was unable to attend the August 4 meeting and wanted her opin- ion on the subject voiced. Board members present were â€" Chairman Morley Kinnee, Trustees Harry Charles, V. P. Mc- Mullen, Harvey Collard, Roy 'Blake and R. Watson. All were in full agreement with the contents of the letter which is printed in full as follows: ' Delegates Rep. 5 Dist’s Want Vocational-Options Hire Third Caretaker 'Lack of Guidance' Resol. Rebuked By High Sch. Bd. In the debate that followed Councillor A. Lennie reviewed the Board’s proposed construction plans and in conclusion felt the Board should be able to erect a school for $500,000. “Some at- tempt should be made to find an architect who will build a satis- factory school for $500,000,” stated Councillor Lennie. Deputy-reeve LeMasurier claimed the prime pur- pose of the resolution was to gain additional information. The speak- er stated, ‘ This new debenture is- sue will raise the township's de- benture debt to two million dollars just at a time when many of the township's public schools are rea- ching the point where they require additions”. Reeve W. Timbers agreed “That if more information could be ob‘ tained. it would be a good thing”. Councillor C. Hooper who put lit- tle faith in the resolution felt the township should instead press the Department of Education for a larger grant on the new school. As the municipalities must raise the money for any school, Coun- cillor Clark felt they should first gain a clear picture as to the total cost. When a recommendation is made by the Department of Education, it is suggested that a public meet- ing be called to discuss the above recommendation with the ratepay- ers.” In closing Reeve Timbers sug- gested the members should first, before approving any school, see if a debenture issue could be sold. He advocated that this be followed by a vote of the ratepayers. “Right now debentures are hard to sell and they are going to get harder to dispose of if we continue to issue them", stated Reeve Timbers. “In view of the possible adverse effect on the financial position of the Township of Markham and the apparent lack of expert guidance, resulting in many varied opinions of the type of high school needed, be it therefore resolved that Rich- mond Hill District High School Board be asked to approach the Ontario Depart ent of Education and request the a complete survey be made as to the educational needs of this district. The Clerk tabled a letter born the School Board which stated the Board Chairman wondered if he could give any more information other than what. transpired at the joint meeting. The Council has given its for- mal assent to the same resolution which two' of its members propos- ed at last week’s joint meeting of the four Councils (Markham. Vauâ€" ghan, Richmond Hill, and Wood- bridge) and Richmond Hill Dis- trict High School Board, called to discuss the Board's proposed con- struction of a new school to serve the Thornhill area. This resolution moved and seconded by Deputy- Reeve Lemasurier and Councillor W. Clark read as follows: The township Solicitor will now incorporate these points into an agreement to be signed by the Municipality and the Subdivider. New Thomhill High School Markham Subdivision “You're going a long way when you say you’re willing to pay for it, said Chairman Kinnee. “Your district covers only 20 per cent of the whole school area.If this comes to a vote do you think the people in the other areas will vote for it?“ Chairman Kinnee thanked the delegation and stated the Board would give every consideration to their request. (Continued from page 1) a hard top surface applied within two years. “The Department of Education tells us this would cost one mill- ion dollars." said Mr. Klnnee. It was pointed out by the Board that several Rems had not been includ- ed in the amount quoted by the delegation and therefore it was not a true figure. “We feel that the Department should be questioned on this mat- ter,” said the spokesman for the delegation. “And we feel that one mill on our taxes is not too much to ask for what we want,” he added. The delegates issued several comparative, prices of schools drawn up by experts in this field. one of which was $540,000 for a 27-room school with vocational op- tions, or $24 per square foot. Thornlea, Elgin Street, Langstaff and Highland Park were present at the meeting and asked the Board that the proposed new school in their area be an academic one with vocational options. “We want this type of school and are willing to pay for it,” was the opinion voiced by the delegates. Mr. Cummings commented that the majority of these permits were for houses and summer cottages and added that there was no par- ticular concentration of building, :M‘her, an overall building expan- sion. In 1952. 157 permits were issued with a total value of $429,000. No especially big items were included in that figure with the exception of a $50,000 home. However, to date, 88 permits have been issued totalling $651,000 of which $290,- 000 was for the Stouffville District High School. Deducting this from the total amount, the present to- tal is only $68,000 short of the ‘52 figure. Recent indications of rapid growth shown in building reports of the various municipalities in the area have been brought to public attention once more with the statement of Building Inspector Fred Cummings that the value of houses erected so far this year in Whitchurch Township is nearly equal to the value for the whole of 1952. n First elected to represent North York in 1945 with a majority of 1300 which was increased to more than 4500 in 1949 Jack Smith is concluding a strenuous and inten- sive campaign.
