This was the result of many hours of hard work in which Mr. Lazar’s efforts played no small part. Appreciation of these ef- forts was expressed on behalf of the students by Miss Jean Hig- ginson. a member of the choir Councillor ,Middleton pointed out he was still receiving com- plaints about dogs causing dis- turbances, and mentioned again the speeding on side streets which has not been remedied. He also stated he couldn’t see the necessity of private citizens having to lay a charge against owners of dogs running at large. Chief Constable Robbins told council a charge would be laid against any dog, running at large, which could be identified as to its owner. Deputation From Vaughan Deputy-Reeve Albert Ruther- ford of Vaughan Township and George Bailey, co-ordinating fire chief for the township, met with the council to discuss the estab- lishment of a new fire area which would effect the areas now covered by Richmond Hill. Markham and Vaughan Town- ships. The desire to establish a new area was brought about by the request from certa‘in elements in Thornhill for a Thornhill brig- ade. It was pointed out that 20 men in Thornhill had offer: ed their services for a volunteer group and that the Fire Mar- shall had recommended the es- tablishment of a Thornhill brig- ade and the purchase of a truck to serve the area. Roads Treated Councillor Middleton reported that roads had been treated this week and were in pretty fair condition with the exception of Markham Road. No action was taken on a re- quest by the Horticultural Soc~ iety that the area to the south of the Municipal Hall be kept as green belt in place of making it into a parking lot. Council point- ed out that the parking area to the north did not supply adequate parking space at present and that the land to the south was needed for this purpose. Debenture Issue Cotincil approved a debenture issue of $44,000 to improve and extend the water system in the village by construction of a deep well. Mr. J. W. Theriault, Carr- viille Rd. East, was convicted and fined $25.00 and costs in Magistrate’s Court New- market, Tuesday morning for an infraction of the Markham township building by-laws.

Monday, May 23 Upholding the long-established traditions of the Richmond Hill Agricultural Society, this year’s directors are planning an excellent programme for the society’s 106th annual fair to be held in the Richmond Hill park on Monday, May 23. Through the century of operation, the local fair has become a meeting place for old friends and has almost taken on the proportions of an Old Home Week for the area~ ‘ ' Vaughan township’s first community water system, a deep well with a potential daily output of 500,000 gal- lons and its own supply of fluorine, was officially tested last Monday preparatory for service at a proposed new housing sub-division just north of Thornhill. The crystal-clear water which can be pumped at the rate of up to 800 gallons 3 minute from a casing sunk 138-feet in the Don river valley at the western end of the housing development. is believed by engineers to find its source in an underground river flowing from Lake Simcoe to Lake Ontario, with Lake Simcoe as a connecting point. $38,000 Well The search for water to ser- vice' the ISO-unit subdivision of better-class homes on a 60â€"acre site extending from Yonge St. highway to the Uplands Golf club property at the rear, cost a six-man syndicate an estimated $38,000. The well itself, accord- ing to Wilbert White in charge of the project. cost $30,000, the other $8,000 being spent on a series of tests which precipitated the discovery of the fabulous wa- ter source. Preparations Underway For 106th Annual Fair The finding of a supply cap- able of serving the new subâ€"div- ision. plus hundreds of homes within a one-mile radius of the proposed project, is expected to open a brand new field of both residential and industrial devel- opment in Vaughan township, which. until now, has been ser- ved with individual domestic well water systems. 350 G.P.M. ° 350 G.P.M.

Its flow could be stepped up, however, he added, to provide both domestic usage and fire protection for all homes within a one-mile square. Contains Fluorine The proposed 150-home sub- division wi-ljl cost upwards of $4,000,000. Harvey Keith Real Estate, the exclusive agent, re- ports homes will lie in a prige range of from $£2.000 to $55,090. on lots having a minime of 76' feet of frontage up to 90 feet. Although a chemical test has not yet been taken, Kirk said the water has already been given a grade “A” bacterial rating. “Moreover, we have found in our own tests that the water con- tains .012 per cent. fluorine,” said Mr. Kirk. It has not yet been decided whether a storage tank will be built at the source. But when completed the system will be similar to drilled well systems in operation at North York, Richmond Hill, Aurora and New- market.

A. MacRae, assistant dir- ector of the observatory told members of the Richmond Hill Rotary Club at the weekly din- ner meeting on Monday. Dr. MacRae reviewed the history and work of the ob‘servatory. which is actually a department of Toronto University and later showed the club members around the buildings. The large telescope has an aluminized mirror 84 inches in diameter, and it is in use for photographic observations every clear night throughout the year â€"- often a cold business, as the dome and revolving mechanism are unheated, because thermal expansion would upset the deli- cacy of the adjustments. The observatory is open to the pub- lic after dusk on Saturdays in the summer months. The in- creasing night light of Toronto and in particular its steady pro- gress towards Richmond Hill is reducing the contrast available when observing very distant stars, a difficulty met by many other observatories, said Dr. MacRae. Dr. D. MacRae Rotary Guest Markham’s township Coun- cil's Finance Committee (Councillors A. Little and D. Deacon) indicated Mon- day that the taxpayers of the township may receive a slight decrease in the 1955 mill rate. A reduction of approximately one mill is expected to result from this years budget. Although there will likely be a drop in the mill rate there has been a corresponding rise in the overall township assessment of from two to three million dollars. There will be a rise in the cost of police and fire pro- tection and a slight drop in the cost of road and general government. Suggested figure for these items include general gov- ernment, $48,075; Police pro- tection, $36,500; Fire pro- tection. $7,500 and Mark- ham's share of the roads costs $87,500. Council has indicated they will set their striking by- law next Monday officially setting the township mill rate for this year. Rev. Earl B.

Vaughan Water System MayCost$400,000With Possible 5 Mill Increase As a first step towards a mun- icipal water system, Council ac- cepted a motion by Deputy- Reeve [Albert Rutherford to es- tablish a water area in the town- ship extending from Richmond Hill to Steeles Ave.. and from Yonge Street to Bathurst. Coun- cil agreed that in establishing the area. water can not be made available to everyone in this area immediately but pointed out ‘that every effort will be made to extend water service as soon as possible to ‘the polluted water areas. Form Water Area The Reeve who contended that the main point in issue was the immediate completion of the sub- division agreed on insisting on a municipal water supply provid- ing council can meet the Sep- tember deadline. Otherwise he felt the subdivision should be allowed to proceed along the or- Vaughan Township Council learned last Monday af- ternoon that the proposed development of municipal water in the Yonge Street area could become a $400,000 propos- ition. R. V. Anderson and Wm. Mitchell of R. V. Anderson Associates met with Council to give a general survey of costs in relation to the project and estimated that before the project for a water area was completed the cost would be at least above $350,000. The figures presented showed that there would be an approx- imate 5 mill rate to be levied over the entire water area to cov- er the cost of well development and feeder mains. In a break- down of figures, it was estimated that the development of the Carrville well without a storage tank would cost $40,000 while the cost of oversized mains in the Richvale area would cost an additional $63,000. This would account for a 3.2 mill increase. An additional 1-.4 mills will be added through the township’s share of $50,000 towards the ad- ditional development of the well at the new Uplands Gardens Sub- division. Local Improvement With the initial part of the work, such as wells and feeder mains installed, it would be up to the individual ratepayers to petition for mains on the various streets in the area. An estimated $193,000 would be required to be raised by local improvement for six inch water mains on streets in the Richvale area. The Water Committee (Coun- cillors V. Griffin and D. Deacon) was adamant that a municipal water system should be a part of any agreement of subdivision. However at the same time in an- swer to queries from the Reeve. Councillor Griffin stated the Committee is in no position to guarantee water by September. It is expected that it will take at least the balance of this year to complete the framework of such an area in the township. As a start, the township must submit to the Department of Health an overall plan for the water area. When such approv- Markham Council Wants Water As Part Selkirk Subdivision Agreement Terming the action of Mark- ham township council in turning down a new offer which would mean the completion of the Sel- kirk subdivision as a vote of non- confidence in the township Plan- ning Board, Reeve Alfred Le- Masurier took a lone stand Monday in an attempt to have this long idle subdivision located south of Lan-gstafl‘ finally finish- ed. Non-Confidence Planning Bd. - Reeve The Planning Board has rec- ommended to Council that they make every effort to complete the subdivision as quickly as possible along the line of the or- iginal plan. Councillor V. Grif- fin, who led the opposition to the acceptance offer expressed little concern over Reeve LeMas- urier’s statment that Council’s action was a vote of non-confid- ence in the Planning Board. “What we are doing is going against the recommendations of our own Planning Board”. stat- ed the Reeve. “Yes I would say so”, answered Councillor Griffin. “but I think the Plan- ning Board has known our thinkâ€" ing in the matter for a long time". concluded the speaker. The Chartered Trust Company of Toronto has offered to find a buyer for the subdivision provid- ing sewers are not required. and if water is required that it would be available no later than Sep- tember. Job Printing . . Done Right! Priced Right! HOME PAPER OF IHE )ISTRICI SINCE 1878 The Liberal TUmer 4 -1261 a1 is granted. the plan must be put before the Ontario Munici- pal Board for final approval and for permission to issue deben- tures. The overall scheme will like- ly be a 10-year plan. however, Council recognizes the urgency to have a portion of the system started at Richvale as soon as possible and the resolution to form a water area will be for- warded to the Municipal Board for approval immediately. Petition Council advised Brian Bailey of the Richvale Water Commit- tee that the petitioning so far done would be of some value in presenting the case to the Mun- icipal Board and suggested that the petition might be completed. Mr. Anderson commented that the petition was actually ‘only for the installation of mains on individual streets and added that if the water area was approved, all the residents in the area des- ignated would be sharing the costs whether or not they signed the petition. Council passed a by-law to re-appoint Nelson Kerr as Road Superintendent for the ensuing year. Council thed $25. to the Richmond Hm Agricultural Soc< iety.

In tracing the development of the subdivision Reeve LeMasur- ier maintained that the subdiv- ision had been developed along proper lines and cited the fact that the average taxes from the completed homes are double the average in surrounding areas. “Planning Boards and Councils for the past four or five years have encouraged this develop- so why the sudden change in at- titude," asked Reeve LeMasurier in suggesting that a completed subdivision will prove more of a benefit to the municipality than the present “ghost town”. Councillors Griffin and Dea- con contended that it would be cheaper to install a municipal water system now rather than at a later date. Furthermore the subdivision lies in the pro- posed water area. “Certainly I agree a municipal water system would be a good thing, providing we can introduce the system in time to complete this sale” said the Reeve. On a recorded vote as request ed by the Reeve on a resolution moved and seconded by Coun- cillors Griffin and Deacon which stated Council would only ap- prove the Selkirk subdivision providing a municipal water sys- tem is part of the agreement. Deputy-Reeve Clark and Coun- cillors Griffin, Deacon and Little all supported the resolution, while Reeve LeMasurier was op- posed. J. E.
