A spot of excitement was miss- ed on Thursday night of last week by Oak Ridges residents when two ‘ Provincial officers from Thornhill and another from the Vandorf detachment were dispatched by telephone from Headquarters in Toronto to in- tercept a Sanitary Laundry truck. stolen from a parking lot at St. Clair and Bathurst streets. Tor- onto. Two young men had been observed taking the truck and one of them had been recognized as having a Wilcox Lake address. News From Next Door Police Car Stuck In Snow As Stolen Truck Appears Constable Walter Farmer and Gordon Knuter stationed them- selves at the corner of the south Lake Wilcox Road and No. 11 Highway. at about 12.10 am. and when the truck was observed coming up No. 11 at 70 miles an hour found their car had be- come stuck in the snOw. With no time to move their car, they drew their guns and stepped out on the roadway. The .driver of the truck told the officers. “when we saw those guns we knew we had better stop."

Ed. W. Brown, at a recent meeting was again appoint- ed secretary-treasurer for 1954. He has held the position since Woodbridge joined the Hydro family in 1914 which at that time was not very large. At the first billing period they had about 25 accounts and now it exceeds 600 accounts. reached the age of 80 years. He is still going strong having miss- ed very few Hydro Conventions. The first Commissoners were J05. J. Watson, Charman; and N. Geo. Wallace and C. L. Wallace. The present Commissioners are Wm. Hollingshead. Chairman: and Clarence Graham and Fred D. Armstrong. Ed. W. Brown Begins 41st Year With The Woodbridge Hydro His first duties. and for approx- imately 12 years, were to read meters, do the billing and coll- act the accounts. In fact he did everything but climb poles. He was Mr. Hydro to everyone. In the year 1926 the H.E.P.C. of On- tario opened a rural office in the Village and took over the read- ing of meters. This procedure continued until the year 1952 when again they relieved him of more work by doing the billing. Mr. Brown, or "Ed." as he it The six member Budget Committee presented the Richmond Hill District High School Board with a‘proposed $321,193.66 budget for 1954 at the February meeting last Monday evening. The Committee, under the chairmanship of Trustee Victor P. McMullen, is made up of Trustees Harry Charles, Robert Watson, Wilfred Dean and new Trustees Harry Sayers and Robert Tamblyn. Vice-Chair- man V. P. McMullen presided at the meeting in the early absence of Chairman Morley Kinnee. Mr. Kinnee was able to attend later in the evening. High School Board Sets ’54 Budget At $321,193 Although there is a consider- able jump over the 1953 budget figure of $255,000 it was pointed out that a large portion of this increase is due to greater numb- ers of students being sent to other schools for special courses and the general increase in stu- dent population. Trustee Dean noted that the Board was carry- ing a deficit of $14,000 owed to Weston Board from last year and added that allowance had been made this year to get caught up on this figure. The difference in cost per pupil this year will be only $11 over last year‘s figure of $504 per pupil. Trustee Harry Sayers commented that if the $14,000 deficit was put on last year‘s figure. the cost per pupil would be less this year than it was in 1953. Urge Debenture Issue H urried Referring to the estimated $40,â€" 000 for transportation in the ’54 budget, Trustee Collard said that although the Board expected a 20 per cent increase bringing the student population up to about 700. most of these students would be from the Yonge Street Area and cost less to transport. Noted Increases Among the increases noted in the estimated expenses for the year was a $10,000 jump in sal- aries to $82,000 or $87,500 with the increment for the year. Of this figure, an approximate $6,- 200 will be for the three new teachers needed to operate the italggered system starting in the , a . Although the expenses are ex- pected to total near $300.000, the actual amount levied for will be considerably less. P r o v in c i a l grants on last year‘s budget amounted to approximately 67 per cent on the building and 47 per cent on operation. The budg- et will be submitted to the Rich- mond Hill, Vaughan, Markham and Woodbridge Councils , for their approval. PrOperty Committee cher increases are expected in the administration, supplies and plant maintenance divisions. Grants In the absence of Trustee Char- les, Trustee McMullen reported that the Property Committee felt there was need for additional storage in the school and recom- mended that the Board approve the building of a large cupboard The first Commissoners were Jos. J. Watson, Charman; and N. Geo. Wallace and C. L. Wallace. The present Commissioners are Wm. Hollingshead. Chairman; and Clarence Graham and Fred D. Armstrong. Mr. Brown is a native of Chin- guacousy Township, Peel County, where his family were pioneers of the district, having emigrated from Yorkshire, England, in 1833. He served his apprenticeship as a printer at the Brampton Times. and came to Woodbridge in 1894, and is now conducting a printing and insurance business in Wood- bridge. In the month of March this year he will have completed 50 years as Municipal Clerk of the Village. To Use Former Metropolitan Cars In Subway Members‘of the staffs who ran the old-time Metropol- itan radials â€" from Toronto to Sutton from 1912 to the late 1920‘s will be interested to know that some of their old cars are still extant. An article in the “T.T.C. Coup- ler" this month tells of the readying of service cars to run on Toronto‘s subway lines, doing all the track re- pair work. Among the new- ly fitted special cars is a new- ly rebuilt Rail Maintenance Car 1, in sleek lines with cut- away cab to allow full-length rails to be carried along its sides, ,with hoist in centre. That car, the article says, was a former Express Freight Car on the run from Toronto to Sutton; which later had roamed Toronto as heavy- duty snow plow in the years since its fast trips to the northern part of the county. Also being used is a form- er Toronto-Sutton mainten- ance trailer of Dre-1928 days, which now is made to carry a snow-blower to rid the op- en cuts of Toronto Subway of the vast amounts of snow which )vill gather along the right-of-way: VOLUME LXXV. NUMBER 33 under the rear flight of stairs for storing shop projects. The cost of the closet will be about $400. On a motion by Trustees. Maw and Watson. the Board voted in favour of the plan. ‘ New Building In connection with the propos- ed new school at Thornhill. the Board was advised that approval for the school would lapse if there was no action within one year. Trustee McMullen suggested that the letter be referred to the Board solicitor. Trustee Kinnee commented that he failed to see why Markham would not issue the debentures and instead call for each munici- pality to issue their own share in view of the financial picture in Richmond Hill. The Board was unanimous in its interpretation of the school act to the effect that the debentures should be issued by the municipality in which the school is to be built and Trustee McMullen felt that the matter of threatened financial overload as claimed by the municipalities should be discussed before the Municipal Board. ..__.__..r _, The Board expressed the need for immediate action on the-de- benture issue and will ask their solicitor to urge Markham town- ship to speed things along. The Board also requested the Proper- ty Committee contact the Farm- ‘ers Market group regarding the purchase of a lot at the fear of the market thus enabling the Board to have a northern access to the new school site. The Trustees agreed tow provide a classroom as requested by Dr. MacKay, Regional Supervisor of ina»;xo~g, 1\.\}51V11ug uu,v-...,v- .. Civil Defense for holding lect- ures for local nurses. Personnel The Board considered a re- quest from Board Secretary-treas- urer Mrs. J. R. McAllister for an increase in salary. Another per- sonnel matter discussed was the hiring of an additional care- taker as it was felt that with the staggered system there would beI more work than the present staff of three could handle. Of interest is the fact that senior caretaker, Harry Stanford, has been at the school for the past 29 years. Principal A. S. Elson suggested that the Board advertise for three new teachers for next year. The three additional teachers will bring the staff up to 28 and will enable the school to run on a staggered system as is planned for September ‘54. Trustee Sayers suggested that the Building Committee look over the 14 applicantions submitted by architects for the plans for the new school and recommend some of the most interesting for the Board’s consideration. The Board appointed a 'com- mittee to lay plans for a social evening at which the staff mem- bers will be guests. WhitchurchTakesActionAgainst People Residing In Cottages Case Remanded Until February 16 By Mrs. C. L. Stephenson Edward Arsenault. R. R. 2 Stoufiville and Robert Gray of the same address. and four other residents of the Musselman’s Lake area received summonses to appear in County Court at New- market last week for “contraven- ing Whitchurch Township's By- Law No. 1334” which states that no one may occupy as a year round dwelling a house contain- ing less than '700 square feet. Charges laid by clerk Jack Craw- ford were withdrawn against four. and Arsenault and Gray were put over till February 16. Asked if that date would be convenient, Mr. Arsenault said “No, it will be no more convenient than to- day is. It costs me $20.00 a day to take time off to appear here." “I have every sympathy with you” said the magistrate. “why cannot this be heard today?". The crown was not ready to proceed and so Mr. Arsenault agreed to return on the 16th. 2 Problem Of Education These charges arose out of the problems facing Whitchurch‘ Township in educating the child- ren of these families. Summer cottages at the Lakes make com- fortable homes when properly in- sulated and people living in rooms in Toronto prefer them to the uncomfortable rooms, but as- sessed as summer cottages they cennot pay costs of educating the children being sent to school and the costs of new schoolrooms and teachers to teach them. Mrs. Arsenath when interviewed says her husband applied for a permit to add two rooms to the home they purchased from a real es- tate man last September, with- out being told it could not be oc- Lcupied all winter.

Markham Passes Road Budget-$154,150 For’54 'After careful deliberation and exhaustive study Mark- ham township council in special session Wednesday of last week passed ,subject to the approval of the Provincial De- partment of Highways, a $154,150 road budget for 1954. This year’s road budget which was well presented to Council by Road Committee Chairman Deputy-Reeve W. Clark and committee member Councillor Mrs. K. James, met with a good reception by other members of Council. To Spend More On DustrContrqlisalafies An Increase Over Last Year The largest item in this year's budget is $35,000 for calcium and oil (dust control) followed by the machinery account of $29,- 100 and gravel account of $25,- 000. On these items in 1953, $20,000 was set aside for calcium and oil, $30,100 for machinery, and $25,000 for gravel. This year’s total budget figure of $154,150 is a $11,850 increase over the 1953 road budget of $142,300 but still lower than 1952’s road budget of $164,550. Early last year the Departmept of Highways arbitrarily cut the proposed budget by $25,000. How- ever as the result of a series of meetings between Council and Government officials this $25,000 cut was later restored. Make Adjustments After discussion by council the members decided on a reduction on three items in the 1954 bud- get. These included slicing the appropriation set aside for new culverts in half, from $10,000 to $5,000. plus similar_cuts in file é'dfiéifigéfiéies' fund from $20,000 to $10,000 and a reduction in the new machinery from $10,000 to $8,000. In the matter of new machinery the road committee plans the purchase of a new five-ton truck, the installation of power steer- ing on the road grader, and the purchase of an air compressor.

In Toronto they paid $125.00 a month for four rooms in a thick- ly populated area and shared a bathroom “out in the hall”. Many more parents of the healthy group of children playing in the snow on the hillsides where no traffic problems harrass the mo- thers told similar stories. “Yes, it is lonely,” said the wo- men, "our husbands leave at 7 a. m. and don’t return till 7 p.m., but the children are so Well and happy we do not want to return to the city." Municipalities Need A_ssist;ance_ This is a problem for Provin- cial and Dominion governments to handle. Increased education- aLgrants may be the answer. A tax bill for a family sending sev- eral children to school showed a school cost of $7.00 being paid. In the group of children playing around their mothers, seven were boys and one was a girl. Boys were valuable to Canada in 1939. mothers will remember. Are they not worth an education now? Can young couples. anxious to care for their families in healthy coun- try surroundings not be permit- ted to do so? “Two years ago 30 of us got notices telling us we had to move. We just ignored them," said one mother. “Our husbands enjoy fixing up these places ,and when we can afford something better we can sell them and get something for our money instead of paying it out in rent." said another. Parents’ Night at Rich- mond Hill District High School on February 2 and 3 polled a large attendance of parents to meet teachers and discuss school routine and studies. Principal A.

In a letter to coun- cil. Mr. J. D. Lucas stated that under the Police Act Constables must devote their full time to the exercise of police duties and therefore are not eligible to as- sume additional responsibilities.

ALBION TWP. : At least four men are seeking the appointment of clerk-treasurer of township. The post was left vacant by the death of Emerson Westlake. TWEED : The local Hydro Com- mission has voted to spend $46,- 000 for improving the service and lighting in the town. Tweed was the first village in Ontario to agopt a mercury vapour light in 1 30. Chief Constable Seyfier’c of Richmond Hill Police has is- sued a special warning to residents in the area to take all precautions against the recent wave of house-break- ing and urges residents who plan to leave their homes unoccupied for any length of time to contact the police in ,order that homes may be checked on regularly. _ On January 29, the home of Mr .and Mrs. P. C. Hill was entered while the fam- ily was asleep and thieves removed money and keys. Entering by a milk box, the thieves did no damage and the robbery was not discov- ered until the following morning. 7 The residence of Dr. R. K. Young on Church St. was also entered the same night and completely ransacked. Thieves entered by climbing a wall trellis and smashing an upstairs window. Clothes and contents of drawers were strewn all over the house and considerable damage was done to furniture by the thieves in their search. Dr. Young and Mrs. Young are holidaying in Florida. _ _ Police suspect that thieves were searching for money as there is no indication of any household or personal eflects being removed. Fingerprints have been taken from the scene of both break-ins but police have declined to make any statement on their find- ings as yet. Police Warn Against Local House Break-Ins Municipal Board’s Action In Changing Direction ls Puzzling To Local Council Richmond Hill council agreed unanimously for 'the second time to undertake to issue debentures for the 10- room $200,000 public school as requested by Richmond Hill Public School Board. Councillors are also investigating the possibility of the dissolution of the Union School Sec- tion which includes Richmond Hill, Vaughan and Markham Townships. Present at the regular meeting on February 3 when these matters were agreed upon were Reeve W. J. Taylor and councillors Wesley Middleton, FloydPerkins and Harold Jones. In reviewing the Municipal Board’s actions regarding which municipality should issue the de- bentures for the propOSed pub- lic school, Reeve Taylor remark- ed, “after Richmond Hill’s first application to issue the debenâ€" tures the Municipal Board called representatives of the three mun- icipalities together and told us ‘under the present stiuatiou and debenture debt held by Richmond Hill, Richmond Hill is not to is- sue the debentures. It is the responsibility of Vaughan but we can’t force Vaughan to issue them.’ This was the outcome of the first meeting, and we came home thinking we couldn’t issue the debentures. “A week later they called us back.
