Mileage for the last quarter in '54 increased over 1953‘s by 6.513 or 11.31 per cent. Passenger revenue for the whole of last year totalled $482.- 099 compared to $358,934 for the same period in 1953. This is an increase of $69,164 or 19.27 per cent. Operating expenses for the whole of 1954 showed an in- crease over 1953, of $38,994, or 11.29 per cent. Mileage for the 12-month period increased over 1953 by 19,497 or 2.94 per cent. The net result to Richmond Hill for the fourth quarter in ’54 is a profit of $4.941. People today have the idea Juvenile- Delinquency is on the increase. But figures in Ontario show that in 1942 the ratio was one delinquent to 100 among boys. one to 1,000 among girls. and in 1952 one to 200 among boys and one to 2,000 among girls. The drop can be credit- ed to better economic conditions, better family life. improved re- creational and social services and better‘methods of handling the first offender. Also statistics do not show that the home situ- ation‘is the greatest cause of 'de- linquency as is a common belief. nor are the children of foreign- born parents the greatest offen- ders. One interesting point was that 52 per cent of all children inâ€" volved are at least two years he- hind their age group at school. Juvenile delinquency also runs in seasonal peaks; April and May are the months in which most trouble develops with October in second place. Mrs. J. Pollard thanked the speaker for his address and men- tioned the work being done in Richmond Hill: for the young people by service clubs, police and other organizations and in- dividuals. Mrs. J. Dewsbury reported on a short course in Institute pro- cedure she attended. She brought many valuable ideas for programs and projects which will receive consideration in the com- ing year. Arrangements were completed for catering for a banquet for Ayrshire Breeders Association on March 18 and regarding wool- lens to be taken to Preston to be made into blankets.

In accepting a recommenda- tion of the Police Committee (Councillor A Time “*' ‘ Deacon) Markham Township Council Monday approved the hiring of three new police con- stables. One of the recommend- ations contained in a Police Committee report filed with Council February 7 was the suggested hiring of additional police in order that police pro- tection might keep pace with the rapid growth of the township. Markham Hires Three New Police Constables Two of the new police officers are former members of the Pro- vincial Police whil! the third will be commencing his police career. Constable George Fyfe is a member of the; Thornhill Prov: incial Police detachment, while Constable Robert Hood is also a 'member of the Provincial Pol- ice and is serving with a detach- ment in Eastern Ontario. Con- stable Hood is a former resident of Markham Township. Both Messrs. Fyfe and Hood have been hired as first-class constab- les at a starting salary of $3,- 300. The third addition to the force is Mr. Louis Durant, a res- ident of Markham Township, who will begin as a probationary con- stable at a salary of $2,900 per annUm. The three successful appli- cants were selected from among a field of- 24 applicants. It is ex- pected they will commence their duties on April 1. These new additions will bring the strength of the force up to 8 men, a chief and seven consta- bles. Federation of Agriculture In response. to a request by Federation of Agriculture, rep- resented at the meeting by a three-member delegation, name- ly Messrs. S. Watson. D. McInâ€" tosh and F. Wicks, Council will continue its.policy of allowing a half mill levy for all farm land over a certain acreage for Fed- eration of Agriculture purposes. Under the provincial assessment act, anyone objecting to such an arrangement has the right to be excluded from the levy. The delegation took exception to the procedure adopted last year by the Assessment Depart- ment as a means of informing land-owners that they have the option of either accepting or re- jecting the levy. At that time an insert was enclosed with the Grand Champion if Cour 2 special E tic tan 5 on a 1 Con. 2 firms Count: come a purpos‘ of C01 ficer 0: Com tion of ing £11 to the Plans ment, work imprm Thl ed the $100.0( Fair 1 Fair \100th make ‘ this )1 has bw permit equipn Council plans to pave a por- tion of Bayview Avenue extend- ing from Steele's Avenue north to the C.N.R. railway tracks. Plans call for a 20â€"foot paveâ€" ment, three inches in depth. The work will be handled on a local improvement basis. The' members have approv- ed their regular annual grant of $100.00 to the Markham Village Fair Board. As the 1955 Fall Fair will mark the Association’s 100th anniversary, Council will make an additional grant of $75 this year. The Road Committee has been granted authority to permit the use of township equipment for work on the fair grounds. assessment notice informing them of the proposed levy.

Fleming stated that under provincial law you cannot charge a Federation of Agriculture levy without giving the property own- er the opportunity if he so de- Eires to register a protest. only vebona fide farmers objected to paying the levy last year. Council will consider some method of incorporating the no- tice in the regular assessment notice. Markham Assessment Too High? levy Referring to the matter of as- sessment in general. Councillor V. Griffin feels that Markham should not show a high assess- ment when the municipalities in the vicinity are displaying a low- er assessment. At present Mark- ham is assessing 70% on land and all buildings with the ex- ception of farm buildings which are assessed for only 60%. The year 1940 is used as the basis for market value. Councillor Griffin stated that he has been led to believe that an adjacent municipality is us- ing only 56% as a basis. He con- tended that Markham’s high fig- ure is affecting its over-all coun- ty commitments and Prov. school gzants. The Assessment and Finance Committee (Councillors A. Little and D. Deacon) are presently holding a series of meetings on the question of as- sessment. Subdivisions ‘ Council has made a decision regarding one subdivision in the township and is considering its policy towards another "in order to facilitate their completion. The township has agreed ' to grant the Arnold subdivision. an additional 18 building permits subject to certain financial stip- ulations laid down by the townâ€" ship. The Arnold Subdivision is located at the corner of the Don Mills Road and No. 7 High- way Council is still considering its policy towards the Selkirk Sub- division located just north ‘of Thornhill. The subdivider, Mr. George Selkirk, has petitioned Council for permission to pro- ceed with the 206 lot develop- ment under the terms of an ag- reement made with the munici- pality last June. Council has ordered a firm specializing in cleaning out sep- tic tanks to stop dumping refuse on a farm located on Lot 16, Con. 2. The practice of outside firms dumping refuse in York County municipalities has beâ€" come a real problem. In order to facilitate the disposal of septic tank waste by township resi- dents, Council is considering a1- lowing land to be used for this purpose subject to the approval of Council and the Medical 0f- ficer of Health. (Continued from page 1) the by-law for issuance of the $170,000 debentures for the Al- lencourt Public School. which will now go to the Ontario Mu- nicipal Board for approval. A letter was read by Clerk Russel Lynett, from the Public School Board. asking the reason for the delay in approval of the deben- tures since the request was sub- mitted last December 10. Toronto Field Naturalists A letter was read from the To- ronto Field Naturalists Club re- garding the pond on Mill Street with request for its beautifica- tion and the discontinuance of dumping in that area. Council agreed to notify the Club that the development of the area as a park was a long- term project of the village and that the dumping of earth was being carried out to build up the hillside. Deputy-reeve Tomlin pointed out that if the land to the north of the pond were an- nexed. the continuation of the stream and the land surroundâ€" ing it could be developed as a beauty spot. Councillor Jones said that the beautification of the area would. no doubt. be backed wholeheart- edly by the service clubs of the village. and with this suport. a grant from the Don Valley Con- servation Authority might be forthcoming. He thought no ac- tion should be taken until coun- cil was sure of what develop- R. H. Hydro Debentures Vaughan Considers Debentures To Pay For Roads & Bridges Vaughan Township Council last Monday asked the engineer- ing firm of Margison and Bab- cock of Toronto to proceed im- mediately with a survey of work required on bridges and main thoroughfares in the township and to prepare an estimate of the costs. This is part of a plan by Council to issue debentures for capital expenditures in the im- provement of principal roads and bridges in the township. Reeve Marshall McMurchy said that this would no doubt be a long-range plan but added that since the recent hurricane, the improvement of the more heav- ily travelled roads in the town- ship had become more essential. School By-Law Council passed a by-law for the amount of $35,000 for the addition of two rooms to the Hope School. This figure in- cludes $3,000 for the purchase of two additional acres of land“ 11 passing the \by-Iaw, Council observed that so far this year. the debenture debt for elemen- tary schools amounted to $274,- schools in .the Township school 000.

Raise Garbage Agreement J. E. Buchanan of Aurora will now receive $1.50 per capita per year for garbage collection in the village following a request for an increase in price of his agreement with the village. The request was made due to the in- crease in population. The year- ly agreement now stands at $5.265 compared to $4,800 in 1954. Estimate Road Budgeti A Council has estimated its bud- get for streets and sidewalks this year at $30,000. This request will be sent to the Department of Highways for approval. The same amount was requested last year. and the Department ap- proved only a $25,000 expendi- ture. Set Two Week Limit Following a complaint from n ratepayer of the issuance of a parking summons three months after the offence. council passed a resolution that the Chief of Police be instructed all traffic summonses be issued within a 14 day period following the oc- currence. Council also approved of the purchase of “No Parking" signs for the area in front of the Richmond Theatre, to limit parkâ€" ing only from 7 pm. to 11 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 2 pm. to 11 pm. Saturday. schools in the Township school area. “Where will it end?" ask- ed Reeve McMurchy and Coun- cillor Wm. Agar added, “the big pinch will come from the High Schools". Council expressed al- arm at the increasing number of so-called luxuries that are being included in the High Schools. “These luxuries are just begin- ning,” said Councillor Agar, “But I don’t think the pupils are r'Iceiving that much better edu- cation for all the extras." Council discussed briefly the increasmg amount of sewage be- ing dumped in the township by truckers who clean septic tanks, etc. Council directed that any complaints should be channeled to the York County Health Unit for action. A representative of Seaton Deâ€" velopments met with Council to determine the possibility of fu- ture subdivision in the Village of Maple. Council suggested that he meet with Maple Trustees and the Township Planning Board. SOMETHING TO SELL LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS .. Phone TUrner 4-1261 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thurs., Mar. 24. 1955 3 A.
