Says Trustee Tamblyn Buy School Site While Land Is Still Available Trustee Robert Tamblyn of the Richmond Hill District High School Board made a suggestion at last Wednesday's meeting Which, while it appears a bit startling at first. displays a keen sense of future planning. Trustee Tamblyn recommended that a committee be set up to investi- gate a site for a new school in the Woodbridge area. Explaining his theory. he point- ed out that this school would probably n t be needed for at least anoth r five years, but add- ed that he felt.that it would be wise to have a site ready when the school was needed. ‘We have been 18 months on the proposed school at Thornhill already and we have neither the land nor an entry at present in addition to the fact that the school building itself has been held up. We don’t Want to go through this again,” said Mr. Tamblyn. He added that with the present increasing popu' lation it was not premature to si.'.rt thinking of future needs, suggesting the: a survey could be made to find the centre of population and an option taken on some land before developâ€" ments cause the land values to rocket and before good sites are taken. Trustee Wilfred Dean noted that the Board of Education in North York township has five sites picked for future expan- sion. Trustee Harry Sayers sug- gested 'that Trustees James Maw, Robert Watson and Roy Blake who are all from the western side of the township assisted by Principal A. S. Elson form a com- mittee to investigate the matter. $300 Fee During the discussioh of gen- eral school costs, the Trustees expressed concern over the dis- Write or Phone HARRY CHARLES, Richmond Hill, TUrner 4-1872 REPRESENTING ATTRACTIVE TOWN & COUNTRY PROPERTIES FOR SALE Attention! - - Mr. Truck Buyer If yen require the services of a truck in your business then plan today to visit our wide selection of ESTABLISHED OVER 50 YEARS Stop 22 A, Yonge St. TU; 4.] R 1 0'}!

The Board felt that the money should be collected by the municipalities for school pur- poses for redistribution to schools in the area Where the subdividing occurs. (In the ma- jority of municipalities where this charge has been levied, municipal councils have express- 1y stated that this levy is not necessarily for school purposes Chairman James Pollard of the Public School Board and Trustee Stan Tinker waited on Richmond Hill council Monday night and asked assistance in solving the problem of the highway approach to the new Public School. The new school now under con- struction is located in Vaughan township and a roadway some 280 feet in length leading to the school was deeded to the town- ship of Vaughan. It was assumed the township would grade and gravel the road. but the delega- tion stated Vaughan has refused to do anything to the road. “We have to have a road, and we are here to ask your help and advice“ said Mr. Pollard. “We can't build the road or we'd be tres- passing on Va‘ughan property" he sai .

The school board now pays the first doctor bill. at a cost of ab- out $60.00 yearly under the pres- ent insurance coverage, but the new policy is expected to cover medical. hospital, ambulance and doctor bills up to a total sum of $100. v Mr. J. R. Herrington presented two policies to the Board for their consideration.'The first one from Continental Casualty cover- ed just about every eventuality from accidental loss of teeth to broken bones and loss of limbs. This blanket policy gives protec- tion up to $2,000., but would cost $2.00 per student. The second policy. fi‘om Brit- ish American Assurance. is a blanket policy for 75 per cent enrollment at the public school and provides coverage for doctor. ambulance and hospital bills up to $100 and would cost 60c per pupil, per school year. Chairman Pollard said. “This is more what we have in mind". Trustee Tin- ker commenting, ‘We must have 100 percent coverage of the school and I suggest a letter go to the parents to see how they feel about participating. A member of the Home and School Association who was pres- ent, stated the association would give any help it could in bring- ing the importance of the ques- tion before the parents. He also suggested a $100. deductible pol- icy be looked into. Mr, Tin‘ker modified this to $10. deductible, saying it would be more practi- cal. “Tr. Herrington will make fur- ther inquiries and the board will can a syecial meeting this week to discuss further findings. New Subdivisions Two subdivision plans, receiv- ed from the Department of Edu- cation for selection of potential school sites. were presented by secretary Jim Grainger. (Note: One is near Rumble Ave., and the village boundary line, the other north of Richmond Acres) covering 44 and 55 lots 'respec- tively, but the board felt they were too small to be of any use as school sites. Five per cent is the allotment for school needs. The school board already has six acres on Markham Road and plans another school near the E1- gin Sideroad in the distant fut- ure. Mr. Pollard also comment- ed, Allencourt will give 10 acres for a school site and the board will go ahead and plan for a new school as soon as we get the deed. This subdivision is pending the approval of council now,” he said. Speaking of Lucas St.. Mr. Pol- lard said, ‘The board wfll have to make application re hydro along Lucas St.,” and a rel: stated Mr. arram teach( in\ De proble reacti Sick now l towns Trust is in happy “What can we twns.’ time element has been extended to such a point that if the deeds for the right of way cannot be ob tained soon, expropriation pro- ceedings will have to be regis- tered to secure entry to the site. Meet Market Board Trustee Tamblyn, also of the Building Committee. reported on negotiations with the Farmers‘ Market in an attempt to secure an entry to the school site from both Elgin St. and Clarke Ave. He said that he had approached the Farmers Board to ask them to donate a right-ofâ€"way as good-will gesture, but they were not interested. He then ap- proached them with the assur. ance that the Markham Town- ship Planning Board would per- mit the revision of the lot plan to permit additional lots to be sold on this roadway thus mater- ially benefitting the Market, in addition to providing access for extra parking. Mr. Tamblyn said that this proposition seemed to interest the market group until they discovered that there would be a charge for “the costs in re- vising the plan of lots. High School Site Negotiations Trustee Wilfred Dean pointed out that in all these negotiations, the cost of the school is rapidly increasin and added that win- Ler buildi g will add a heavier burden. Teachers’ Contracts In conformation with the new teachers’ contract forms issued by the Department of Education, the Board has instructed that new contracts on the newly prescrib- ed forms must be completed by the staff. Transportation A letter from the Board of A1- liston High School asked the 10- cal Trustees to pass a motion to (Continued from page REAL ESTATE LIMITED 8 YONGE ST. S.

Let's go to the council next Monday night and ask them what they are going to do." ‘ Trustee Dick Mills stated that “Lack of schools and good roads is keeping industry out of Rich- mond’Hill" and deplored the' con- dition of roads, in particular, Lucas St. About 20 accounts were ap- proved for payment .among them being a bill for $110.. including material and labor. to replace glass lights brokemat the school. New Assistant Caretaker Referring to Mr. R. W. Hanna. new assistant caretaker at the school, Principal W. Scott stated, “We are all well Mr. Hanna. He is cellent job.” Mr. Hanna was hired on a month‘s trial, at a $2 3' of $40. weekly on his ow“. .3; "gestion. The present caretaker receives $2,700 yearly. The board unanimously ap- proved Trustee Mills‘ motion that Mr. Hanna's yearly salary be set at $2.300 per annum. Poppy Day Collection Trustee Margaret Southwell said several mothers had “phon- ed about the children taking home poppies for sale." She sta- ted the mothers don‘t like their children taking home as r‘nany as 10 poppies and going from door to door to sell them. and sug- gested that one or two poppies should be enough. Mr. Scott said the maximum number of poppies was set at five and the teachers were in- structed to give out this number. It was suggested that some of the ’younger children be given only two each in future. Advertise For Teacher The school board will act at once to advertise for a new teacher to replace Mrs. Howard, teacher. who has informed the board she has to go home to help on the larm in May and June. The new teacher sought will commence teaching duties at the school the first of the new year. ' Discuss Noon Lunch Mr. Scott said he would like to see more consideration shown the teachers. by parents living within the immediate vicinity of the school. Children within easy walking distance of the school should go home for lunch rather than carrying it with them to school, he said. Teachers are neeâ€" ded to supervise during the lunch period. when they should have a relaxation period, Mr. Scott ‘ stated. Mr. Pollard said the board will arrange for a meeting with the teachers. possibly the first week in\ December. to discuss various problems and also to get their reaction on an Accumulative Sick Leave Plan, such as that now being used by the Scarboro township school board, for as Trustee Tinker said, ‘The board is in favour of making the staff happy in their working condi- be sent to the Ontario Legislature asking that all motor vehicles be forced to stop by law when ap- proaching a school bus which is discharging or picking up stud- ents. The Board referred the matter to the Transportation Committee. Trustee Dean read a letter from a citizen of Richmond Hill suggesting that the High School District name be changed to 'The First York County High School District and that the name Rich- mond Hill High School be re- verted to for the local school. The Trustees received the sug- gestion quite favourably but the final decision has been shelved until the December meeting. Trustee Harvey Collard reiterat- ed his statement of an earlier meeting saying that he felt that one Board was not entitled to change the name. “Next year's Board may want to change it back again", he said. The tender for 150 tons of stoker coal was awarded to I. D._ Ramer at $14.80 per ton. There were two tenders submitted. School Name The Board voted to send a let- ter of appreciation to Gordon Mortson for accommodating near- ly 20 students at his home dur- ing the recent hurricane when they were unable to reach home by school bus. The letter will be accompanied by a $25 honor- arium. » The Board decided to accept the customary payment of .$5 per meeting for 12 meetings plus mileage and expenses. During the year, particularly since plans for the new school have been formulated. the Trustees have given wholeheartedly of their time and energies, in many cases at personal expense. . FARMS .

How- ard reported to Council Monday on the extent of the work com- pleted to date on the bridges and roads either damaged or destroy- ed by thtestorm. Report On Repairs To Damaged Bridges-Roads Destruction left in the wake of the Hurricane included 12 dam- aged bridges and 8 large road washouts. The resulting bridge losses forced the closing of 20 township roads. Bridge Repairs Turning first to the matter of bridges Mr. Howard stated that the four smallest structures will be replaced with large steel pipes. Three of the smallest bridges have already been re- placed while work ‘on the remain- ing one will be completed this week. Three of the remaining strands lost in the storm will be replac- ed with Bailey bridges. Two of these Bailey bridges are already in operation. Two other structures although critically damaged are still able to carry light loads. Temporary repair work is progressing on the Deacon Bridge on the Mount Joy Sideroad, and permanent repair work on the strand located on the Cashel slderoad. The only other damaged bridge is on the Markhamâ€"North York townline and North YOrk has agâ€" reed to look after it. . Only Five Roads Remain Closed Two bridges failed two days after the storm while another failed just a week ago. In each case the foundation had become undermined by excess water. Continuing Mr. Howard point- ed out that it will be necessary to' rebuild a total of 11 bridges and culverts. Two of these will be joint projects with neighbor- ing municipalities. Another five can be termed major projects and are the sole responsibility of Markham. Two Bridges Fail After Storm The eight serious washouts have already been properly back- filled and opened to trafiic. Out of the original 20 roads which were blocked only five remain closed.
