One was from the Assessment Appeal Board which read as follows “We the Assessment Appeal Board of the Township of Whitchurch rec- ommend to council the need for an improved method of assessing as we feel that many properties are under assessed. Considering the school problem we feel that some are paying more than their share. while others are not pay- ing enough. "This resolution was moved by L. P. Evans and sec- onded by Clifford Wallwork. The second resolution “as irom the Board of Health and was moved by D. E. Cook and sec- onded by W. H.

For Improved Assessment News From Next Door By a narrow margin of three to two Woodbridge village council last week ap- proved the request of the Richmond Hill District High School Board to erect an $800,000 27-classroom secon- dary school complete rwith one shop, one home econom- ics room. and a single gym- nasium. The councll‘s decis- ion was reached only after a lengthy debate. The Richmond Hill Chamâ€" ber of Commerce will hold its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday evening, Novâ€" ember 24. The final vote of the mun- icipalities on the Board’s latest application to build a semi-vocational school is three to one. Of the four municipalities which consti- tute the Richmond Hill High School district the townships of Markham and Vaughan and the village of Wood- bridge all voted in the afiir- mative while Richmond Hill village was opposed. Rich- mond Hill had based its de- cision on the fact that at present the Provincial gov- ernment will pay no grants towards gymnasiums or classrooms for the teaching of practical options. As usual. the members will meet in Richmond. Hill Public School and the meet- ing starts at 8 pm. It is expected now~that the municipalities have reached a majority decision Mark- ham township will ap l_v to the Municipal Board f0' per- mission to float the $800,000 debenture issue. Chamber of Com. Meets Nov. 24 Woodbridge Approves New High School In Close Vote A letter from Lloyd Hall. sec- retary of the Preston Lake Coun- try Club enclosed a check for $179.50 for road work done in their subdivision. They thanked council for the excellent job done. SCARBORO : The site for new General Hospital has located close to the site of ‘ eer Mary Thompson’s cabin. Two hours of council's time was taken up by salesmen from firms demonstrating the fine points of machines that will re- duce the time and effort required to get out the tax roll. Council has been considering the purchase of such a machine for some months. Various prices were quoted from $1,416.00 up. de- pending on how many accessories are needed for the job. The secretary bf Ringwood Public School had a request in for a $300 advance on the 1953 levy. Asked for advice in the matter of a tile drain on lot 32, con- cession 5. the solicitor advised council that if owners do not agree on the matter. action should be taken under the Ditches and Watercourses Act. Whitchurch Council made its annual grant of $50.00 to each High School in the Township. Aurora. Newmarket and Stouf- fville, to be used as a scholarship for the township pupils showing the highest all round proficiency. Road bills were $4,200. Gen- eral accounts $1.065. Relief for October amounted to $364.00. An owner of a lot in Plan 349 will be notified to fence or fill in a cellar excavation in the public interest. garbage along the roads. Police will be asked to watch for offend- ers. The report which was compilâ€" ed with the assistance Of town- ship Engineer J. Howard and Plumbing Inspector L. Galbraith listed five main recommendaâ€" tions. These conclusions which will be considered by the 1954 Council were as follows: (1) The current rate of $1.00 per thous- and paid to North York is too high. (2) Since additional water may not be available from Metro- politan Toronto for another five years. serious consideration should be given by the 1954 Council to embarking upon a program of investigation into the possibility of obtaining water from ground sources. . (3) In the interest of creating a reasonable bargaining position for the town- ship of Markham it would seem to be imperative that Markham possess knowledge of its ground resources. (4) Such knowledge would serve the following pur- poses. (a) As valuable informa- tion for prospective industrial developers. (b) As a guide in de- termining how much restraint to exercise in allowing develop- ment requiring water. (5) Apparâ€" ently neighbouring water works development have sustained themselves financially. The immediate availability of water from Scarborough township has hem ruled out by the pro- hibitive figure of the one mill- ion dollars it would cost to con- nect with the nearest Scarboro water-main, plus the important fact that at present Scarboro does not have any surplus water The Committee based its brief on information gleaned from the Public Utilities Commission and Waterworks Department of Scar- borough township, North York’s township's Engineer, and a busi- ness organization. the Internat- ional Water Supply Limited; Markham Committee'Reports Five More Years Before Water Is Available From The Metropolitan Area In a lengthy worded document presented to Council last Monday Markham township’s Plumbing and Sanitation Committee (Councillors A. Lennie and C. Hooper) made ex- tensive observations and recomm'endations on the general problem of a publicly operated Waterworks department to supply prospective consumers within the township.

NUMBER 21 I .G.A. m fill/“M Inked The Trustees approved the job construction of two special lad- ers to serve as fire escapes to __ ye used in the gymnasium at the r thl )range Home where Richmond been Hill classes are being held. Com- pion- menting on the general situation of thesé temporal? classes at the Trustee C. Mabley then moved that the Board contact Gordon )Iortson to see if he would be able to run a bus down Yonge St. as far as May Avenue. The mo- tion was unanimously accepted. Chairman James Pollard re- minded the delegates that the School Board assumed no res- ponsibility for transportation during the past‘ 70 years, and it has been only recently that a moral obligation has been assum- ed. We do what we can but we must have some limit, added Mr. Pollard. The busses needed to take pupils to the Orange Home cost $5,000. a year. In reply to Mrs. McKenzie's question about the time of dis- missal. Principal Walter Scott said that according to regulations the school day last from 9 am. to 4 p.m. Trustee Len Clement said that the service was certainly appall- ing and that he had received as- surance from T. T. C. officials that changes would be made. As yet, he added, these changes are not noticeable. Mrs. McKenzie said that she felt that residents in the south would be satisfied if even the younger children were picked up by a school bus as the older ones are more aware of the traffic ha- eards and in many cases could walk to school. Chairman Pollard assured the Darents that everything possible vould be done to assure the safe- 3‘ of the children. )range Home A petition bearing 38 names of parents from south of Richmond Hill was presented to the-Richmond Hill Public School Board last Thursday evening by a delegation of six parents. The petition which involves nearly 70 children urged the Board to provide better transportation for the children south of the village. The parents present said/ that the T.T.C. busses which are used by the children provide a terrible service and cited instances when, day after day, the children standing at bus stops are ignored by drivers hur- rying to keep on schedule. Mrs. D. McKenzie said that she had heard from reliable sources that drivers took the atti- tude that the children were lazy and should walk. Mrs. McKenzie said that be- cause the afternoon busses were so crowded many of the smaller children had to wait for late bus- ses and didn’t arrive home until‘ 5 o'clock and later. She added that the times the bu’sses came north in the morning were so it- regular as to make many child- ren late for school and for that reason many parents are pooling taxi costs or using private cars.l In conclusion North York es- timated it will take about five years before adequate supplies from lake sources will be avail- able to any but the present lim- ited water farea- in Markham. The Committee has.recom- mended that COuncil at once make arrangements to have the water question placed on the ag- enda for the January meeting of the Metropolitan Council. 0n the question of securing water from within the township the International Water Supply Co. felt that an adequate supply of ground water could be found within the municipality. They also were of the opinion that there is an adequate supply of ground water within 11/2 miles of Yonge street. This organization estimated they would require an outlay of $5,000 from the town- ship to cover any preliminary in- vestigation. All the assets belonging to the North York Waterworks depart- ment within the Metropolitan area will be turned over to Met- ropolitan Toronto in January. Among these assets would be two wells now operated by North York Waterworks department. This new body would control the water distribution completely and would set rates for all areas in- cluding the limited area within Markham township. North York's Engineer reported that the new Metropolitan authority intends to expand capital in ,the amount of $17.000,000 to increase its Water supplies. To emphasize the need for such expansion one needs only to considerthetplight of North York township where its peak production is 7,000,000 gal- lons per day and peak consump- tion about 15,000,000 gallons per day. available for outside customers Ask For School Bus Parents Of Public School Pupils Criticize T.

Let’s put this on the steps of the De- partment of Education. If more councils took this stand and were consistent we might get some re- lief from this school expense.” “I’m not saying it is or it isn't," continued Mr. Rice.
