M .BICHMOND HILL LIONS’ HALL Monday, Jan. 7 [Tree Poachers Active Again “In District - Owners Warned It seems apropriate at this time to point out a number of pertinâ€" ent facts in connection with this unpleasant business. To begin with .the act involves trespassing on private property and then it is a serious offence to cut trees from private lands without per- mission. At present. the matter is under study by legislators who are seeking a way to deal more effectively with the nervy type who thinks he has the privilege of cutting anyone‘s trees. In some instances which have been reported to district police forces, and forestry officials. trees There has been a wave of tree thefts during the past week and a number of district residents have lost fine evergreens to these tree poachers. In the Dulferin Street district, back of Carrville, a number of incidents occurred when some one entered private property to cut a number of trees and then left them lying on the roadside. A farm owner on the Maple sideroad .however, was successful in nabbing the cul- prits and actin'. will likely be taken to recover the value of the trees.

Police throughout the district have announced that they are keeping a close watch on areas where parked cars may indicate tree poachers and residents who have evergreens in easily access- ible spots are to be on the look- out for these people. which have taken ten and fifteen years to grow have been cut from lawns and landscaped setâ€" tings. And when one considers the cost of purchasing full grown evergreens from a nursery or the time and trouble in growing them from seedlings this type of thievery becomes just as im~ portant as stealing money or property and should be punish- able in the same way. One case reported to The Libâ€" eral dealt with a man who plead- ed poverty as the reason for stealing a tree, hOWever, closer investigation revealed that he was transporting the stolen tree in a truck rented from a car rental agency.

This year a man who is well known through the district for his generosity, not only at Christmas but throughout the year. brings to our attention the pleasure of giv- ing. Mr. Bing Lew, Richmond Hill restauranteur, has always res- ponded generously to appeals in the community and in addition has taken the initiative to do many kind gestures. many of which go unnoticed and unsung. On Wednesday night, of this week. Bing Lew played Santa Claus to a group of children â€" not the mythical Santa, but the Richmond Hill Council Deals With Many Small Matters Entire Orange Home Guests Of Local Restauranteur $1.98 and $2.98 . $3.98 . $4.98 . $5.45 . $5.98 real Spirit of Christmas Giving. He was host to the entire group of children from the Loyal True Blue and Orange Home. Not only did he serve a wonderful Christ- mas dinner with all the trim- mings, but each child received a gift. In addition, he chartered a bus to bring the children to his restaurant dining room and to take them safely home. new year the municipality will have stepped up to town status. There were a number of small items to be cleared up for the new year and Council attended to a number of these smaller items in a three hour session. Reeve W. J. Taylor called to the attention of the meeting that there was a motion on the books regarding the holding of some meetings of council in the day- time. Council agreed that this matter needed serious considera- tion in the light of the fact that both the municipal engineers and solicitor were finding it increas- ingly difficult to attend night meetings. “My time at night is just as valuable to me as is the daytime to the people who are protesting about some day meet- ings,” said Reeve Taylor. It was pointed out that if some meetings were held in the daytime, there would still be the regular meetâ€" ing held in he evening affording the ratepayers an opportunity to observe council sessions. Approval was given for test Borings prior to the excavating for sewers [in the Elmwood Ave. area. The(aprova1 was for an amount up to $1,000 and will be charged under local improvement with the project itself. Roads ' The engineers for the village asked for initial acceptance of the asphalt roads in Glenbrae subdivision but pointed out that the shoulders needed more atâ€" tention. Initial acceptance was also requested for roads and sew- ers in Richmond Acres. Council declined acceptance in both in- stances and pointed out to the engineer present there was little point in asking for this type of partial apr0val when there were still points to be settled and work to be done. Deputy Ken Tomlin and Councillor Harold Jones moved that the letters be tabled and also rec0mmended that when these engineering inspections are made the Road Committee be in attendance. Modest about these gestures, Bing Lew only comments that he likes people and he likes to see them happy. What a wonderful example he sets in his concern for his fellow human beings â€"â€"- it is worth following with pride. The request for the extension of a watermain south on Bayview outside the village limits as sought by five residents was laid over until the new year. It is estimated that it would cost ap- proximately $3,400 to do the work. The request was made by residents who are having trouble with domestic wells. The planning Board was ln- structed to start preparing a brief on the proposed level cross- ing in the industrial area. Street Rights A letter from a resident of Richmond Street, sent to the Police, was referred to council. The writer protested the poor street lighting on, Riéhmond St. and urged action to make walk- ing safer at night. Council or- dered a check into the matter. A letter from the Department of Education said that the coun- cil’s request for an improved grant structure for education would be Considered along with similar requests from other mu- nicipalities. Compensation Council carried Deputy Reeve Tomlin’s motion to increase the workman‘s compensation for the fire brigade to the maximum of $4.000. Approval was :given to an ac- count for $3620 from Kenneth Cooper, architect for the new building. This was for the deâ€" signing of the addition to the municipal hall. The contract did not include supervision. In pass- ing the account, Council expressâ€" ed satisfaction at the speed with which the building was progress- ing. Council also agreed to go up to $700 for the redecorating and refurbishing of the council cham- ber. Dog Problem Councillor Donald Plaxton recâ€" ommended that council try to ar- range a dog pound with Mark- ham and Vaughan Township in the coming year. He said that the problem was still serious but added that the trouble stemmed from the fact that people were more willing to comp ain to the municipality than th 3 were to actually lay a charge in the inâ€" stance of dogs running at large. Reeve Taylor and Councillor Per- kins favoured the raising of dog licences and’ stricter enforcement of the dog bylaw. It was learned during the meeting that the parking meters which were installed in Septem- ber have produced $1,533.41 rev- enue up until last Saturday. This averages $250 a month for the village. Satisfaction was express- ed by all over the success of the meters. GEORGINA : Voters turned down the sale of liquor in the munici- pality, in the referendum. SCHOMBERG : Dr. M. K. Dillane, a general practitioner in the dis- trict for the past 56 years, pass- ed away recently.

Mark- ham was represented by its Planning Director R. Forrest and Deputy-Reeve William Clark and Vaughan by its Planning Director J. Swalm. High School Trustees attend- ing included Chairman W. Dean, and Messrs. V. P. Mc- Mullen. R. Tamblyn, H. Say- ers and S. Rumble. There is no land satisfac- tory for a site available in Richmond Hill proper at present. Earlier the High School Board had recom- mended locating the school in Markham Township close to Richmond Hill. Markham felt any such decision should first be referred to the Met- ropolitan Planning Board for approval. Any move to lo- cate the school in Vaughan will have to be first referred to Vaughan Township Coun- cil for study. At a joint meeting of representatives of the munâ€" icipalitities of the Village of Richmond Hill. and the Townships of Markham and Vaughan and the Richmond Hill District High School held Tuesday no decision was reached regarding a possible site for the propos- ed new District High School to primarily serve Rich- mond Hill children. When Richmond Hill Coun- cil met for its final session last Monday night, Deputy Reeve Ken Tomlin announcâ€" ed that he would likely seek a seat on council again next year. Mr. Tomlin was unsucâ€" cessful in his bid for the honour of being the first mayor. At the meeting he said he would continue to be interested in Richmond Hill’s municipal affairs even though he would not be a member of the 1957 coun- oil and in addition said that he would be anxious to re- turn to municipal service. The present High School District already has schools in Richmond Hill and Thom- hill and is planning another new school for Woodbridge for 1957.

Rector of St. Mary's Anglican Church in Richmond Hill since early 1953. were sorry to learn this week that he and Mrs. Chote and their son Paul. will soon be leaving the community. The Rev. Mr. Chote has accepted a call to the Church of the Messiah, Toronlo, and will conclude his rectorship in this community on January 31. In a message to his congregat- ion, Mr. Chote said that. he and his family will treasure the deep friendships and happy memories of Richmond Hill. The congregat~ ion and the community at large too, will also remember with a certain pride, the active contrib- utions made to the community by Mr. Chote and the interest in and wholehearted support of the community. A graduate of Wycliffe College, Mr. Chote was rector of the par- ish of Cavan and also of Port Whitby before coming to Rich- mond Hill. During the war he aci2ved an enviable record both with the Toronto Scottish reg- iment and later with the R.C.A.F. where he became a Squadron Leader. In Richmond Hill as in\ othm‘ parishes where he served, Mr. Chote has led active programmes to make the church not only a spiritual but 9 cultural and soc- ial centre of the community. Certainly, here in Richmond Hill, St. Mary's Anglican Church has taken great strides ahead under his leadership. In addition he has been a will- ing and understanding spiritual counsellor. not only to his own congregation but to the many friends he has made here and those in need have always receiv- ed his personal and unbiased attention regardless of statiOni H63 will, indeed be greatly mis- se . The Liberal joins with the com- munity in wishing Mr. Chote and his family Godspeed and success in their new home and work. #322 Anglican Rector Accepts New Post 33736333231323}: a:2amamaze2a23.azzzzmmaazaammmaxazazazxmxmmanpfimnmmm .
