Proving Aid To Newer Districts The opening of the new Bev- erley Acres Post Office, located in the Beverley Pharmacy at the new Bayview Shopping Centre, on December 12th, has proved very beneficial to residents of that eastern subdivision, in ad- dition to assisting in relieving the load from the Richmond Hill Post Office. Mr. F. C. Elphinstone. Postmas- ter at Beverley Acres. advises that during the two weeks of the Christmas “peak period". it was necessary to employ additional staff to cope with the huge vol- ume of mail matter â€" letters, cards and parcels. Mr. Elphinstone advises that. in order to expedite delivery, all persons who will be receiving mail through this new Post Of- fice are urged to notify corres- pondents of their new postal ad- dress, which should be as follows: NAME. NUMBER AND STREET, BEVERLEY ACRES. ONTARIO. While complete statistics are not yet available as to the thou- sands of pieces of mail matter that passed through the Post Office during that period. the Postmaster states that mail is being handled for some 500 fam- Illes.

A Council reconvened in the af- ternoon and held its first business session of the new year. The most important matter to be dealt with was the formation of the 1957 committees.

Names Committees For 1957 LeMasurier Appointed Planning Board Mrs. James who is the repre- sentative of the most populous Ward will head the Road Com- mittee assisted by Deputy-Reeve Deacon and Councillor Cosburn. The Road department is the lar- ges‘t department at the municipal level. In the important matter of the proposed municipal water system, Deputy-Reeve Deacon will head the committee, assisted by Mrs. James. Mr. Mumberson who is a former member of the Toronto police force will head the Police Committee. Reeve Clark and Deputy-Reeve Deacon“ will combine their efforts in the search for industrial assessment. LeMasurier Appointed To Planning Board The only controversial matter to be considered was the appoint- ment of former Reeve Alfred Le- .Masurier for a three year term to the Planning Board. Reeve Clark and Councillors Mumber- son and James favoured the ap- pointment while Deputy-Reeve Deacon and Councillor Cosburn were opposed. Deputy-Reeve Dea- con advocated the rte-appointment of Mr. Alvin Gamble of Union- ville who resigned from the Board in order to seek a seat on Council in the December elec- tions. “The circumstances of Mr. Gamble's resignation were unus- ual in that he didn‘t intend to re- sign until he thought there was going to be an acclamation in Ward 2", stated Deputy-Reeve Deacon. Councillor Mrs. James replied, "If a man resigns in or- der to seek election then I feel he should be prepared to accept the results of his own actions”. Councillor Mumberson felt the best interests of the township could be served by Mr. LeMas- urier, "who has served on Coun- cil and in addition he has lived in the municipality for a number of years. and also operates a busi- ness in Markham". Other members of the seven member board in the coming Due to the increased traffic the Ontario Highways Depart- ment in a letter read at Town Council meeting Monday night suggested “no parking" regula- tions on Yonge Street through Richmond Hill during the morn- ing and evening rush hours. It was suggested council consider the advisability of “no parking" restrictions on the west side from 7.30 am. to 9.00 em. and on the east side from 4.30 to 6 pm. Highways Dept. Suggests "No Parking” For Rush Hours In Richmond Hill Reeve Taylor vigorously op- posed the suggestion and moved that no action be taken Councillor Tinker thought the suggestion should have consid- eration. “What hardship would it be?” he asked. pointing out that there was a traffic jam well be- low the Hill every evening. “It would just hit the bilsiness on Yonge Street," said Council- lor Jones. The letter also suggested that the timing of stop lights be al- tered to give more time to the north and southbound traffic. “I think the timing of the lights is quite satisfactory as it is." said Reeve Taylor. “the ped- esh‘ians have some rights too."

Incinerator Would Cost $55,000 Council took no action on a report from Consulting Engineers Babcock and Scrivener for the erection of a proposed municipal incinerator for use in the dispos- al of garbage from township resâ€" idents. The total cost of construc- ting the incinerator, plus land would be $55,000. The annual cost of operating it would vary between $40,000 and $50,000. This figure would include the cost of collecting the garbage. The engineers suggested the plant be located on a ten-acre site some- where in the southwestern part of the township. The plant could handle two tons of garbage per hour and would require three to four men to operate it each shift. The plant would be built to hand- le a population of 12.000 and could be expanded to handle 18,- 000 people. It is expected that any action on the report will be de- layed for the time being at least due to the excess cost. A request from the caretaker of the Township Offices. Egbert McConaghy, for a $300.00 idâ€" crease in his annual salary was referred to the Property and Parks Committee for considera- tion. At present he receives $1800 annually. A suggestion by former Reeve LeMasurier that the members consider raising their remunera- tion from the present $7.00 per meeting to $8.00 per meeting was tabled until budget time. The statutory provisions provide that members of a council in a mun- icipality the size of Markham can receive a maximum of $10.00 per meeting. Solicitor J. D. Lucas expects to have an agreement for the maintenance of the town lines serving Richmond Hill and Mark- ham ready for ratification very shortly. Under the terms of the agreement, it is expected that Richmond Hill will be respon- sible for Bayview Avenue and Markham for the Elgin Mills sideroad. The only delegation to appear before Council was Mr. L. Need- lar, proprietor of the Newmarket Bus Lines, who sought Mark- ham’s support in his application before the Ontario Highways Transport Board for permission to operate a bus line between Sutton and Toronto. The line would afford a daily service us- ing Highway 48, the Gormley sideroad and Bayview Avenue. Solicitor J. D. Lucas questioned if the bus line would in any way interfere with the charter of the T.T.C. The North Yonge bus line is operated by the T.T.C. on behalf of the municipalities of Markham, Vaughan and Rich- mond Hill. “I feel no decision should be made which would in any way jeopardize the operation \of the T.T.C. along Yonge Street," remarked Mrs. Jémes Mayor Neal suggested a con- ference with Ontario Highway officials and the Member of the Legislature. The suggestion was concurred in and Reeve Taylor and the Mayor will represent the Town. Council agreed to permit the United Church to proceed with extension to the present church, although building in the area is by bylaw declared strictly com- mercial. The Planning Board has already concurred in the request. Council decided to join the Ontario Good Roads Association and the Ontario Municipal As- sociation. The annual appointments by- law was passed and the following appointments made: Member of the Library Board, Mrs. P. C. Hill; Don Valley Conservation Association, Councillor Plaxton; Community Centre Board Coun- cillors Jones and Haggart; Recre- ation Commission, Councillors Plaxton and Tinker; Weed In- spector, F.

County Council Meets Tuesday In all Things, Charity. Over 100 Ratepayers Attend Vaughan Inaugural Meeting Reeve W. J. Taylor presents new gavel, symbol of municipal authority, to Richmond Hill’s first Mayor, Will- iam Neal, at inaugural ceremonies at the Municipal Hall on Monday. â€"â€" Photo by Lagerquist More-than 100 interested ratepayers witnessed the inaugural ceremonies of Vaughan Township Council when they were held at the Maple Commnity Centre last Tues- day night. This is the first year that a formal inaugural ceremony of this type has been held and it received many favourable comments. During the evening, many of those present expressed the feeling that'the meeting gave an added dignity and a certain prestige to municipal govern- ment. The oath of office was admin- istered by clerk of the township James McyDonald, following which devotional exercises were taken by the Rev. C. H. Bowman of Maple and the Rev. W. French of Kleinburg. Warden Speaks Marshall McMurchy, Warden of York County and former reeve of Vaughan, extended congratula- tions and best wishes to the 1957 council. In giving a challenge to the council, he first cautioned ratepayers against unfair criti- cism. He said that in almost every instance, elected representatives are not in office for personal gain and added that they make decis- ions which they feel are honestly for the-good of the municipality. Watch Finances Among those present were Kirby Brock, Andrew Sni- der and John Neufeld, Maple Trustees, a number of town- ship officials and James Robson Who has served the town- ship for 25 years on council. ’ Turning to the council, Mr. McMurchy said they would prob- ably find financing the biggest problem of 1957. “We have had unprecedented prosperity the past three years but now munici- pal officials will find the pinch of a slight tightening in finan- cing". The Warden pointed out that municipal representatives must endeavour to provide leg- islation which is a benefit to the whole municipality and not just one segment. He said that Vau- ghan was a particularly diversi- fied township and council decis- ions should be made for the whole municipality whenever possible. Concluding. Mr. McMurchy said that the application of the “Gold- en Rule” was a very solid stan- dard in municipal afiairs. In acknowledging Mr. McMur- chy’s challenge, Reeve John Per- ry said that he hoped at the con- clusion of 1957 it could be said Initial Meeting Markham Court, 200 Summonses There were 200 cases on the docket at the inaugural meeting of the Magistrate's Court in the Markham Township Municipal Offices, Buttonville, Wednesday morning.

Deputy Reeve Robert Kirk ex- pressed satisfaction over the good over-all representation on council and said that with a con- tinued spirit of co-operation, he was sure that the problems could be met. Councillors Bill Anstey, Victor Ryder and Jesse Bryson were un- animous in their feeling that the spirit‘ of co-operation that has prevailed in past Vaughan Town- ship Councils will continue to work for the benefit of the mun~ icipality now.- Guest Speaker Pierre Berton, editor of Mac- lean’s Magazine, was the guest speaker of the evening. In an in- teresting and humorous address, he took his audience on an im- aginary trip through the Canad- ian North, touching on Dawson City, built for 30,000 people and now housing only 300, the barâ€" ren lands and Baffin Island. In describing the country, Mr. Ber- ton said that in some parts it was very fertile but added that the great shortage of water made agriculture a problem. In con- cluding his address, Mr. Berton complimented the council on the fine inaugural meeting and exâ€" pressed the hope that it would be the beginning of a tradition in inaugural meetings. The speaker was introduced by Councillor Victor Ryder and thanked by Deputy Reeve Robert Kirk.

HOME PAPER Of- THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 Richmond Hill, incorporated as a village in 1872 with a population of about 750, on January 1st, 1957, was in- corporated as a Town with a population of nearly 8500 and the inaugural meeting of the first Town Council was held Monday. His Worship Mayor William Neal was sworn in with fitting ceremony, and after taking the oath of office along with other members of council appealed for co-operation of council members and citizens in mak- ing 1957 a successful year for Richmond Hill. -The oath of office was admin- istered by Clerk Russell Lynett officiating at his sixteenth in-, augural meeting. Council mem- bers sworn in included, in addi- tiOn to Mayor William Neal, Reeve W. J. Taylor, deputy reeve Floyd R. Perkins, and council- lors Don. Plaxton, Stanley F. Tinker, Harold Jones and James Haggart. Fitting Ceremonies Mark Inaugural Of County’s NewestAndLargestTown Reeve W. J. Taylor presided for the opening ceremonies and called on Rev. C. G. Higginson, Minister of Richmond Hill Unit- ed Church. who read a passage of scripture, delivered an ap- propriate and inspiring message and led in prayer for blessing and divine guidance in the com- ing year. Reeve Taylor thanked the clerk and all municipal officials for de- voted service and coâ€"operation during his years in office. He re- ferred with pride to the remark- able growth and development of the municipality in the past few years and expressed the hope it would continue to grow and prosâ€" per. He pointed out that expendi- tures amounting to more than $300,000. had been paid in cash to provide a new disposal plant, and equipment to meet the needs of the expanding commun- ity. He said it was hoped to ocâ€" cupy the new municipal offices next month. The village had re- ceived splendid -’ co-operation from the subdividers and he saw no reason to stop the develop- ment now under way and which has been so successful and satis- factory. The Reeve said he was assured by the municipal audi- tor‘ that the municipality is in a sound financial position. Presents Gavel Reeve "iaylor presented a gav- el, symbol of authority, to Mayor William Neal, and asked him to assume the position of Mayor to which he was elected by the people at the municipal elections in December. (The gavel was made by building inspector W. Hollowell and presented to the town). Mayor Neal took his place at the head of the council table and expressed his sincere appreciaâ€" tion to the ratepayers of Rich- mond Hill for electing him as the Town's first Mayor. “This", he said, “is an important milestone in our history”, and extended congratulations to fellow mem- bers of council and asked their co-operation in administering the affairs of Richmond Hill. “We have grown into a Town,’ said the Mayor, “and with the growth have come many problems which we must face this year”. He said there are many problems to be solved and asked for patience of the ratepayers until things get stabilized. As a town we face the necessity of re-organizmg several departments and have to make very sure we have the nec- essary services for our expanded development. Deputy-reeve Floyd Perkins said it was a real honor which he deeply appreciated to be elected deputy-reeve in the first Town Council. He looked forward to a successful year and said that both in town and county affairs the municipal business would have his best attention. He re- ferred to two contentious mat- ters coming up at County Coun- cil. the issuing of debentures for Richmond Hill High School, and the dissolution of Richmond Hill Public School Section. Councillor Harold Jones said it was a pleasure and satisfaction to be back at the council table. There are some problems facing the town, he said, but none which cannot successfully be met by earnest work and coâ€"operation of the members. He said last year was a very busy one but he felt the enlarged council would help in getting municipal business transacted with despatch. He appealed for harmony and co- operation. “We will have our difâ€" ferences of opinion," he said. “but let's not carry those differ- ences beyond the council cham- ber.” Councillor Stanley F. Tinker YOUR HOME PAPER ALL THE NEWS OF THE DISTRICT Single Copy - 10 Cents newly elected to council after serving as chairman of the Pub- lic School Trustees thanked the people for the honor of election to council. He said that with the great growth and development of the town there were sure to be extra demands. “We must pro- gress or die,’ he said, and “if we progress we must expect to pay". He appreciated that there were many problems facing the 1957 municipal councilt “If there \were no problems to face “I wouldn't want to be a member of council, " he said. Councillor Don Plaxton return- ed to council. said it was a revel- ation 'the number of problems which can arise. “Before I be- came a member of council,” he said, “I thought dogs were house- hold pets. Since being on coun- cil I find dogs are a major mun- i'cipal headache.’ He cautioned that there is need to keep a watchful eye on the budget in these days of rapid expansion: Councillor James Haggart. a new member of council said it was a great honour and privilege to serve as a member of. the first town council. He was optimistic for the future and promised to co-operate in the efficient hand- ling oi municipal affairs. _ Among those who attended the inaugural ceremonies and extend- ed congratulations and good wish- es to the new council were Clerk Russell Lynett. ex-deputy-reeve K.
