With No. 11 Highway on one side and the main CNR line bisecting the area, it was guite apparent that neither Highway frontage nor Railway frontage was suited to residential use. It was logical therefore, to zone the undeveloped Yonge street land and that acfioin- ing the CNR for industrial use. The only question to be decided was, how far east of the CNR should the industrial zone extend. After due deliberation.‘ it was concluded that as Richmond Hill would not likely be able to obtain any additional territory in the fu- ture, it would 'be best to plan more than might be considered ,adequate, rather than less. In consequence, after long delib- eration, Richmond Hill made ap- plication to the Ontario Municipal Board to annex 1,000 acres in Mark- ham Township. I cannot emphasize too strongly that Richmond Hill’s evidence at the Municipal Board hearing was based largely on the vital necess- ity for increased industrial assess- ment, in order to properly balance its economy and the existence of services essential to such indus- trial development. On July 2â€"8, 1952, the decision Of the Municipal Board was given, approving the annexation. As that portion of the munici- pality lying west of Yonge Street was already established as resi- dential, it was decided to zone this section for residential use, reserv- ing Yonge Street frontage for com- mencial purposes. In the intervening time, the Rich- mond Hill Planning Board had been appointed and it set to work preparing an official plan for the enlarged municipality. As practically all the land ad- jacent to the railway was owned by the three rose growing establish- ments and didn’t bring very high assessment, and Yonge Street fron- tage already built-up, there was virtually no industrial land avail- able for development. As the cost of education increas- ed, it became all too apparent that residential and commercial assess- ment, which in 1951 represented about 90% of the total. was going to be faced with a terrific burden. With the creation of the Met- ropolitan Area, Toronto City Lim- its which had been 10 miles to the south, overnight were brought to within 5 miles of our Village. But in the intervening time. Richmond Hill had also progressed. From a typical country village of retired farmers, businessmen and original farmers, it commenced to grow. Families moved in, some whose wage earner commuted to Toronto by car or public trans- portation. With the increase in population, services were eventual- ly needed and provided â€" first water, then sewers. The obvious solution was creased industrial assessment. and improved roads have reduced the time to % of an hour, but the distance is still the same. Not unlike similar municipalities, most of the new inhabitants were young people with school age children. Met Bd.

Dress- ing rooms will be in readiness for next season. The board is buying the woodshed, no longer used at S. S. No. 6 and the lumber will make toilets and dressing rooms at the park. A tennis court is be- ing built and a baseball diamond laid out. Swings and teeter-totters will be installed for the small child- ren. The landscaping, started on Coronation Day. and a small bridge across the creek, all add to the de- lights of the grounds on highway number 4 at Vandorf. Clarence Espey ran from a near- by restaurant to see the papers which the couple had been carryâ€" ing fluttering to the ground, being ripped from their hands. Police report that the couple had almost cleared the approaching John Brown. 70, and his house- keeper, Miss Ethel Treloar, 65, were instantly killed in a tragic accident which occurred last Wed- nesday evening on Yonge Street at Elgin Mills. Returning from a trip to the ONE. the elderly cou- ple stepped from behind the Grey Coac bus on which they had been traveling into the path of a car driven by George McIntyre of Dun- blain Rd., Toronto, formerly ‘Of Oak Ridges. Clifford Patry of Elgin Mills, standing in front of ..a grocery store. said he heard the scream of brakes. “Then there was a sickening thud," he said. "I turn- ed in time to see the woman flip through the air and land 100 feet away." Elderly Couple Killed, Instantly Crossing Highway At Elgin Mills In conclusion, may I summarize as follows: As a subsidiary Plan- ning Area, Richmond Hill recog- nizes the fact that its plan should be consistent with that of the Met- ropolitan Area, but it is to be borne in mind that unlike the 13 municipalities of the Metropolitan Area, it must also be self-sustain- ing. There is nothing of which I aware in Bill 80 providing for nancial assistance to a fringe municipality for education, essen- tial services, civic improvement and other expensive items. These must be financed solely from mun- icipal taxation, plus whatever mun- icipal grants are available. The Community Centre Board of Whitchurch Township is being congratulated for the way in which the park at Van- ’dorf has developed this year. Cash donations are coming in from many interested residents to help equip the 13 acres purchased last year and already ten picnicA tables, made by 1|, n fix I . Subsequently, a proposed com- bined-industrial and residential subdivision of some 270 acres in the undeveloped area was submit- ted to the‘Municipality. Subject to certain recommended changes, this subdivision has been approved by our administration. This approv- however, was subject to an under- taking from the subdivider, which was obtained on May 25, 1953. To further safeguard the inter- ests of the municipality, our En- gineer was consulted regarding the adequacy of services for such a subdivision. At the present time, Richmond Hill’s debenture debt is about 30% of the assessment and we are on the point of building a new $200, 000.00 school, which will take this close to 35%. M. G. Slater, afe in place under" the Big'Mlidviré'Vvaéfi'liié the banks of the creek. This, and other problems of our Municipality, though similar. are entirely separate and distinct from those of the Metropolitan Area and require proper understanding. While this is not the time to dis- cuss it, perhaps some considera- tion should be given to represen- tation from the fringe municipali- ties on the Metropolitan Planning Board. ' The Municipal Board has ap- proved the enlargement of our Municipality to three times its former size ,primarily for the pur- pose of securing industrial devel- opment. The Industrial Commis- sion and Canadian National Rail- way consider it a good location for industry. The Department of Health, fully aware of the plans for expansion, has approved our sewage disposal, including the dis- charge of effluent into the branch of the Don River, which flows through the municipality. It is our strong conviction, Mr. Chairman, that in the interest of long term planning,' the official plan, as presented to the Minister, should be approved. Community Centre Board Asks F01 [Donations F0: Vandorf Park Deeply conscious that the spiral- ing educational costs would ascend even more rapidly if further resi- dential subdividing were permit- ted, the Planning Board early in 1952. recommended to the Coun- cil that no further residential sub- divisions be approved for the pres- ent time. This would permit the Board to prepare an official plan and zoning by-laws for its imple- mentation. A resolution to this ef- fect was passed by Council. In consequence the easterly limit for industrial use was set at 1600 feet from the railway, allow- ing for a service road to provide for industries requiring railway facilities on one side and those re- quiring only highway transporta- tion on the other. The Toronto Industrial Commission was highly optimistic about Richmond Hill’s industrial possibilities, as was the CNR. The undeveloped land lying east of the industrial zone, protected by a green belt, together with oth- er undeveloped land in the munic- ipality would still provide for some 2,000 to 2.200 houses.

Funeral services for Mr. Brown were held at the Wright and Taylor Funeral Chapel on Thursday, September 11. Interment was in Richmond Hill Cemetery. ried out By the board car and had only a foot to go before they were struck. The driver of the bus was unaware that the acâ€" cident had happened and contin- ued his route. Mr. Brown, who has no close surviving relatives, was raised in Toronto. Later he moved to the West and after retiring came to Richmond Hill where he lived for many years. One year ago Mr. Brown purchased a house at Elgin Mills. The couple was on the way home at_the time of the accident. Miss Treloar also has been a resident of the village for many years. Born in Sutton, she was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Treloar. Left to mourn her passing are two brothers, Da- vid of Sutton and James of Con- secon, also a sister Lena of Tor- onto.

Vaughan Twp. Wants To Remain Agricultural Area Under the supervision of Mr. W. M. Cockburn, Agricultural Rep- resentative and Mrs. Mabel Borg- strom, Home Economist, the morn- ing was occupied with the setting up of exhibits, judging classes of vegetables and answering a garden quiz. Each member exhibited her own garden produce and her Rec- ord Book while Third Year Mem- bers prepared special exhibits on which they gave three minute comments. Club exhibits were presented by Buttonvllle, Nobleton and Queensâ€" ville Clubs and were commented on by Margaret Brodie, Evelyn Mc- Taggart and Barbara Reid respect- ively. Other clubs participating Metropolitan Chairman Fltd G. Gardiner suggested at the meet- ing on Tuesday night that it might be the duty of the Metropolitan Council to prevent "premature" industrial and residential develop- ments on land bordering Toronto. In discussion at the second meet- ing of the Metropolitan Planning Board, Mr. Gardiner said that if a township outside the meropolitan limits indicated it wanted to re- main agricultural, “then maybe we should stand behind them." His remarks came after Town Planner, Dr. E. G. Faudi told the board that Vaughan Township, north of North York, wished to remain agricultural. Feeling, however, that it was impossible to stop development from moving in, the township councilhad ordered a plan which would provide for orderly growth and an assessment balanced between residenital and York Country Girl’5 Clubs Achievement Day To secure space within the phys- ical limits of the building for the increased number of classes the school day has to be lengthened by two or more periods. Study space must be provided in each period for those students who can- not be accommodated in the class- rooms; auditoriums or cafeterias are commonly used for this pur- pose. Approximately one quarter to one third of the school populao tion use this common study room in each period of the day. When a cafeteria is used as at R.H.D.H.S. for the common study room lunch periods have to be increased in number to fit into the general scheme of staggering and to ac- A staggered system of classes at Richmond Hill District High School has been designed to meet the needs of a High School too overcrowded to accommodate its students in the normal classes of a regular day yet not sufficiently overcrowd- ed to warrant a division into shifts. Staggered System Of Classes Meets Needs Of High School At the close of the programme, Mrs. Borgstrom who was assisted during the day by Miss Frances Lampman, a student at Macdonald Institute, presented Certificates of Achievement to girls completing two Homemaking Club Units and County Honours to those complet- ing six units. County Honour re- cipients were: Marilyn Hill and Evelyn McTaggart of Nobleton Club; Doris Goode of Queensville and Betty Glover of Victoria Square. were: Mt. Pleasant, Pine Orchard UnignflStrept and_ Victoria Square He noted that the burden of services in Metropolitan Toronto would be borne throughout the ar- ea, and thus a member municipal- ity did not need to worry if its as- sessment was top heavy residential- ly â€"- the lack of taxes would be made up somewhere else. An out- side municipality, on the other hand, had to rely enirely on its own taxing powers. The Boar}! took no further ac- tion on the Vaughan plan, but ask- ed Dr. Faludi. to discuss it with the North York Planning Board. Next month, a banquet will be given the Clubs by the North To- ronto Kiwanis Club at which silver spoons will be presented to all members completing this unit and Scholarships for attending a Short Course in Horticulture at the On- tario Agricultural College will be awarded to Margaret Brodie of Buttonville and Betty McGill of Queensville. At its hevious meeting, the board had turned down the plan because it did not fit in with that of neighboring North York, and also because it was felt too much land had been zoned industrial in proportion to the amount zoned residential“ . V Expansion Plan “Frankly,” said Mr. Faludi, the plan’s architect, “any residential development up there is prema- ture. rBut houses are being built along Yonge St. Commercial de- velopment is pushing up Barrie Highway from the 500-acre Eaton’s development at Shepherd Ave. “Therefore,, it was felt we had to plan for expansion of industry into Vaughan in order to gain the assessment which would make up for the low assessment of the resi- dential district." It was then that Mr. Gardiner suggested Metro Council might have to limit development to the Megropolitan area until it was fill~ ed n. commodate the student body ad~ equately. “Inconveniences inevitably arise and have to be met in any situation produced by such abnormal condi- tions as those facing the Richmond Hill District High School this year. A mutual understanding of the pro- blem by the students parents, and staff of the local High School has resulted in a concerted and co-op- erative effort to meet the difficul- ties of the situation and there is every indication that the plan will not only work satisfactorily, it may even stimulate greater school spir- it in the common effort to face its problems. inqustxjja! gang» usage.
