Police Force Vaughan Township Council accepted the application of Richard C. Mosher, Sutton West, for the position of Police Chief of Vaughan Township Police Force last Mon- day afternoon. 20 applications for the position. Mr. Mosher was chosen from more than At present, he is Chief of the Sutton-Georgina force in which capacity he has served for 15 years. In selecting Mr. Mosher for the position, Council considered his experience in police work would be valuable in the expan- sion of the force. For more than 30 years, he was a Detective-ser- geant on the Board of Commis- sioners of Police and prior to that had served with the Canad- ian Army. The new Chief will receive $4500 per annum and the regu- lation 9c per mile rate. Tenders - Council accepted the tender of Kamlee Construction Co. for the erection of a new bridge on the Langstan sideroad. The tender prices ranged from $27,- 045 to the Kamlee low price of $17,200. The additional cost of handrails, steel and grading will bring the cost to $22,000 in line with engineers’ estimates. Bids on the Cockburn bridge in the west end of the township were not so successful, however. Twel- ve bids ranging from $39,600 to $45,000 were received but with the added cost of steel and grading etc., the cost would run, even with the lowest tender, to at least the $74,000 mark. Council felt that the cost was too far out of line- and instructed the consulting engineers to call for a new set of tenders. Council passed an amendment to the by-law regulating lot siz- es to permit smaller lots in the Uplands Gardens subdivision where there will be a municipal water supply. Residents Protest Two residents of Crestwood Avenue. Percy Forester and G. Konsmo, met with Council to air a number of grievances. Both men criticized the township pro- cedure in securing options for land for well test-drilling and Mr. Forester was particularly critical of the action of Interna- tional Water Supply not drilling on his property, and of the town- ship for not entering into an ag- reement with him enabling the well drillers to drill on his land. One of the conditions of Mr. For- ester's agreement was that the Council should approve the div- ision of his lot. Enquiring about the road pro- gramme for Creswood, Mr. Kno- smo suggested that the township road department tear out all the unsatisfactory culverts on the streets, replace them with stanâ€" dard ones and charge the cost to the individual owners. He further suggested that Council should immediately make evic- tions where more than one fain- ily is occupying a single family dwelling in contravention of the by-law. Both were also critical of sanitary inspections made by the Health Unit in the area. Mr. DeMorris and Mr. Cramp- ton, property owners on the El- gin Mills sideroad west of Duff- erin, met with Council to dis- cuss garbage being dumped on their property and the parked cars which cause a nuisance. Council agreed to have police make checks on the road which is a dead end road. Charles Thomas was appoint- ed Weed Inspector. 53.3c Of Markham Tax Dollar- Education'Costs A summary of how each tax dollar is being spent is being enclosed with Markham Township tax bills now be- ing prepared forthe ratepayers. The summary is being sent in order to give a report of how these‘ dollars are be- ing spent. Largest item, 53.3c of every dollar, will go for edu- cation costs. Of this amount public school education costs are $236,235 and high schools $90,329. In addition to this, provincial grants are pro- vided amounting to $200,000. Township roads require 14.3c of every dollar. The report states that the heavy damage done last fall and winter makes it imposs- ible to put the 160 miles of township roads in proper repair on the total budget of $165,000 and for this reason plans are be- ing develOped for a major im- provement program costing ab- out $250,000, the cost of which would be spread over a ten year period. The County' will take 12c of every dollar and is a statutory The total cost is $326,564. levy'set by the county and not directly under‘council control. General township purposes require 10.5c in the amount of $64,722, and cover the cost of administration with a small am- ount for grants and relief. Police costs are $36,500, tak- ing 6c of every dollar. The force has been expanded from four to eight men and in addition two cruisers were purchased and 2- way radios installed. Fire costs take 1.2c of the tax dollar, costing $7,300. Stouffville, Markham, Unionville and Rich- mond Hill involve an expendi- ture of about $1,500 a year for maintenance, the balance being required for paying the firemen. AWhitchurch Asks Halt Govt. Licenses To Swill Feeders A request is going to the Do- minion government from Whit- church Township asking that no further government licenses be issued for pig-swill-feeders until a bylaw can be prepared by council to regulate these op- Erators. Garbage Tenders John E. Storry was awarded the annual contract on Thurs- day night for the collection of garbage at the three lakes within the township. Total price of the contract was $5,000. This figure included $3,800 for Wilcox Lake, $1,000 for Mussel- man's Lake and $200 for Pres- ton's Lake. An account was payment in the $100 for a heifer dogs, the property Richardson . Road Accounts Road accounts for the month passed for payment amounted to 511.000. Council discussed com- plaints on the progress of the work being done on Gravel Hill on the east townline, a project undertaken some time ago by Stouffville Sand 8.: Gravel. Road Supt. Davis stated that represen- tation had been made concern- ing the temporary hydro and telephone line and some answer passed for amount of killed by of Geo. W. should be sought on how the work could be speeded up. Council agreed that Mr. F. mrritt, County Weed Inspec- tor, and Constable Mulholland should confer on moves to be made to clean up weeds on small lots, said to be very prevalent in the township. Council agreed to a $25 grant to the Upper Holland Conserva- tion Authority which would en- able Newmarket to benefit by a 37% government grant towards the restoration of the dam at Fairy Lake, damaged during Hurricane Hazel. Markham ' Construction Reaches Three Million Mark 'Value of building in Markham Township during the month of May is valued at three quarters of a mill- ion dollars. Thirty-two per- mits were issued. Residential building, ten houses and six alteration jobs amounted to $101,000. The new High School at Thornhill is valued at $800,- 000. Commercial and in- dustrial building included two service stations, one ac- cessory building, two build- ing additions and two signs, valued at 831.450. Total for all building was $744,900.

Vaughan Approves Carrville WeII Last Monday, Vaughan Town- ship Council approved the devel- opment of the Carrville Rd. well by International Water Supply. The drilling firm advised coun- cil that the well was capable of producing a 250 gal. minimum, and a 700 gal maximum. and gave a price of $26,750 for de- veIOpment to 250 gal. and $37,- 100 for 700 gal. per minute. The actual committment when work begins will be $9,000 for mater- ials. Work will start as soon as materials can be moved to the site and the company guarantees the well-flow. ‘ Reeve Marshall McMurchy told Council that the International drilling rigs were on the last test hole in Crestwood Rd. area and as yet had not been success- ful in locating a sufficient flow. Council agreed, however, that Crestwood Rd. should be includ- ed in the water area being form- ed at present, in view of the fact that nearly $6,000 had been spent in the area in search of water. It was felt that water should be available in that area by next year. Councillor W. Agar suggested that International Water Supply should 'be‘ asked to sink 'a few holes in the Concordyarea to see what possible water~sources are available there. If a good sup- ply was indicated, it would be advantageous to the township in encouraging industry to set- tle in the area around Concord set aside for industrial develop~ merit.

Monday through Saturday 8.30 to 9 p.m. Mr. Mainprize stated the store would be operated by Walter Murray, 47 Roseview Avenue, graduate pharmacist. I . Council held the suggestion in abeyance as was the request last month of the Clarke and Wight Pharmacies for specified closmg hours. . n It was the general opinion that no merchant in the village shbuld be told when he must op- en and close his place of busi- ness, particularly when the mer- chant sells public necessities. No Word On Lawsuit No word has been received on the outcome of the lawsuit in- volving the village and the E. T. Stephen's Co. Ltd. The Stephens firm has alleged that the vill- age's sewage disposal plant has polluted the stream which runs through the Stephens’ property. Licensing of Bicycles Council passed the by-law for the licensing of bicycles in the village. Before it can come into effect, however, the by-law must first be approved by the Ontario Municipal Board. Park Clean-Up Councillor Jones“ asked the the village park be given a gen- eral clean-up, pointing out it was in a not too desirable con- dition forvpeople who make much use of it. He pointed out that little work had been done on it to date to make it attractive and suggested work be started as soon as possible. Council agreed to his request. Levy Service Charge On a motion by Councillor Jones and Deputy-Reeve Tomlin, all builders will be levied a ser- vice charge of $2.00 per house for water consumption. This move was made following com- plaints that water was being wasted by the builders. $15,000 Profit Reports of the North Yonge Bus Lines for March and April show total operating profits for the two months of over $15,000, marking great increases over corresponding periods last 'year.

M cGinn Local Pastor Celebrates 25 Years In Priesthood Members of the congregation of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Richmond Hill will be joining with the Reverend Frederick McGinn P.P. next week in the celebra- tion of his silver jubilee as a member of the priesthood. It is 25 years ago, June 14, that Rev. McGinn was ordained assistant to the late Monsignor Felix Smyth of St. Catharines and was then transferred to St. Michael’s Cathedral, Toronto, where he served under the pres- ent Archbishop Martin Johnson Father Frederick McGinn of Vancouver, and the late Fath- er Gregory Kelly. Prior to as- suming his duties in the parish at Richmond Hill, he was assist- ant under the late Monsignor Michael Cline at Holy Name Church, Toronto. It was in 1942 that Rev. Mc- Ginn received his first appoint- ment as parish priest, being ap- pointed to St. Mary's Parish at Richmond Hill where he succeed- ed the Rev. Edward Keane who is now parish priest at Weston. Rev. McGinn was born in Tor- onto and attended De La Salle and St. Michael's Colleges. Foll- owing family traditions, he chose Holy Orders and studied theolo~ gy at the St. Augustine Semin- ary, Toronto. A sister of Rev. McGinn, Sister Mary Callisto, is in charge of the accounts ollice at St. Michael’s Hospital, Toron- to, and a nephew, Rev. Gerard McGinn, is a scholastic of the Basilian Community. Looking back on the thirteen years that Rev. McGinn has ser- ved as Parish Priest in Rich- mond Hill, members of the con- gregation can look with pride to his lasting accomplishments, out: standing among which are the establishment in 1948 of Our Lady of Fatima School in Rich- mond Hill, and Our Lady of As- sumption School at Oak Ridges, dedicated only last year. At the time he arrived in the parish, only one Mass was celebrated each Sunday. Now five Masses are celebrated regularly each Sunday. As part of the jubilee services, Solemn High Mass will be cele- brated at 10 am. on June 14 for the children while the entire con- gregation will join together for the celebration of High Mass on June 19 at 9 am. The Marian Guild is holding a reception in Rev. ME-Ginn‘s houâ€" our on Sunday, June 19, at the rectory. The Liberal joins with the cit- izens of Richmond Hill in ex- tending congratulations and good wishes to Rev. McGinn on this happy occasion.
