At last Monday night's meeting of town council, it was agreed that the present arrangement should run until its termination in 1960. The 'I‘.T.C. has proposed that if the agreement is sacriï¬ced. they will guarantee no increase in rates until 1960. In addition they would promise no decrease in service, an express bus to Steeles during rush hours and would pay any deï¬cit. At the be- ginning of 1961 they would be willing to sign a ï¬ve year agree- rnent for the Operation of the bus line at a cost of seven percent to the owners. No deï¬cit would be paid and there Would be no Proï¬ts paid either. In addition there would be no guarantee of Serwce. Criticizes Audit Councillor Donald Plaxton ob- a new and radical approach to the problems of the municipal- ity. Mr. Kirk suggested that the idea had merit but asked that members of council be allowed time to give the matter some ser- ious thought before being called to make a decision. Mr. Perry added that in his frank opinion there was not enough in the two departments to keep two high salaried men busy. “Now that we Continuing his stringent economy drive, Reeve John Perry of Vaughan Township, this week presented a sug- gestion to council to amalgamate the heads of the police and ï¬re departments into one. Mr. Perry said that the system had been employed successfully in the United State‘s and felt it could be suitably adapted for Vaughan and at the same time would cut down administration costs. “I feel that there is too little work to warrant two men as chiefs of the police and ï¬re departmentsâ€, said Mr. Perry.~“It’s easy enough to create new jobs but there is no sense in having the jobs if there isn’t enough for the people to doâ€, continued the Reeve. In discussing the matter, Mr. Perry strongly urged council not to consider personalities but to look at the question from an efficiency and economy standpoint. RichmondHill’s Stand On TTC Issue Remains Same Deputy-reeve Robert Kirk was the ï¬rst to reply to Mr. Perry’s statement, which is more or less ‘ Richmond Hill Public School Board Chairman Rob- ert ROSS is seen above with a group of winners from the" annual oratorical contest held last Wednesday in the local high school auditorium.

At a meeting last Monday evening, Reeve W. J. Téylor suggested that council make plans’to meet with repre- sentatives of several assessing ï¬rms in the near future to dis- ‘cuss the matter. The ï¬nal con tract would be let under tender, however. Following a short conference with Mr. Buchanan of Aurora. it was agreed to pay him $1.50 per capita and $2718 labour for the collection of garbage in the town. Mr. Buchanan explained the in- creased difficulty in handling the garbage as burning was norlong- an nn__.:u-g " er permitted. He said that it had become necessary to purchase a bulldozer to cover the garbage. Reeve Taylor said that the town depended on Mr. Buchanan to handle the garbage and urged On a motion by Councillor James Haggart and Deputy-reeve Perkins, it was agreed to hold a meeting in the near future be- tween council, the Industrial Commission, representatives of the Metropolitan Industrial Com- mission and the ONE. and Mr. J. Bailey to discuss industrial de- velopment in the town. Garbage During the brief discussion, Reeve Taylor and Deputy-reeve Flyod Perkins insisted that all buildings must be entered during the ‘ re-assessment. Every build- ing will be measured before the new asseSSment is set: Industry ' Late last year the 1956 council agreed in principle to the assess- ment as there is a need for great- er equality in the asseSSment of the municipality.

Councillor Ryder noted that rentals last year were unus- ually high. For this reason. some consideration was given to the purchase of a back-hoe and poss~ ibly a pickup truck. v A culvert in Concord and sew eral on the 6th concession were apprOVed and council agreed that the township should handle the contracts directly rather than have an engineer supervise the projects. It was felt that consid- erable money could' be saved here. Some work is also being planned for Carrville Rd. and the Richvale area. Mr. Ryder comw mented that the roads are "a terrible mess there and need atâ€" tention". While the municipality has not been in the habit of buying used equipment, the fact that the equipment is presently used by the township roads department on a rental basis caused council to agree to the purchase. Need Good Roads Council unanimously supported Councillor Haggart’s motion to arrange an agreement with the dog catcher immediately. An application by Const. Payne for the money in lieu of 1956 holidays was declined as council felt that he hadn't been in the town’s service long enough in 1956 to warrant holidays.

It was sugâ€" gested that Taylor Mills Dr. South be changed to Beverley Dr. and Taylor Mills Dr. North and Taylor Mills Dr. just Taylor Mills Drive. Councillor Plaxton was very critical of Metro for approving such a name system. Mr. Perkins added that in refer- ring the letter to the Metro Planning Board council should ask that either Bridgeford or Bridgeport be changed because of confusion.

But the hope was expressed that the Library Board would look in- to the matter of raising funds. In presenting his recommenda- tion, Parks chairman Councillor Donald Plaxton said that the site would still allow for a sizeable extension to the ï¬rehall and still leave a large parking area. He suggested that it would not be long before the town would have to set up a separate roads depart- ment storage yard sewhere. At present the land i question is used for storing some road equipment.

Trustee Mid- dleton objected to the fact the estimates for maintenance of the Richmond Hill property had been secured from the caretaking stafl‘ instead of the Property Commit- tee. “I feel an important princi- pal is involved here as the Fin- ance Committee should have made it a point to consult the various committee chairmen when preparing their estimates." remarked Trustee Middleton. In reply to questions Richmond Hill Property Committee Chairman County representative M. Mc- Murchy felt the Board required more information on the income part of the budget‘ before the members could pass approval. “Study Budget Item by Item†tionâ€. “I have never opposed the quality of education.

"Taxes Undue Burden†In opposing the budget Trustee Rumble objected to the fact local taxpayers would have had to pay 59% of the total cost and the province oniy 41%. Mr. Rumble maintained the educational sys- tem is a partnership between the province and the municipalities and that Queen's Park should as- sume a greater share of the over- all cast. “Real estate taxes have become an undue burden on our peopleâ€, concluded Mr. Rumble. Trustes Sayers stated he was, “as anxious as anyone to see the budget reduced". Turning to Mr. Kinnee he asked. “has the com- mittee done everything possible to reduce the budget?" In reply Mr. Kinnee said, “I ’feel educa- tion is the ï¬rst responsibility or a trustee and the dollar is only‘ isecondary." “If the dollar is to be- come the main concern of this Board, then I don’t want to be a member of it,†stated Mr. Kin- nee emphatically. “This budget 1' as been prepared so closely there is nothing left for emergencies. We really need an extra $5,000 for contingencies,†he concluded. Chairman R. Tamblyn, who is the public school representative on the Board said to carry out Trustee Rumble’s suggested re- duction of the portion to be .paid by the lecal taxpayer to 50% would entail lopping $100,000 off 'the estimates. Trustee Howes felt any move in this direction Would reduce the “standard of educa- tionâ€. “I have never opposed the quality of education. Tear-hers Before reaching its ï¬nal de- cision to refer the budget back to the committee the members by majority decision defeated both an amendment and a motion on the same subject. An amendment by Markham Township represen- tatives S. Bumble and W. Mid- dleton to have the committee reâ€" duce the share to be borne by the local taxpayer to 50% was defeated decisively. A motion moved by Vaughan representa- tive M. Kinnee and seconded by Woodbridge representative J. .Howes to approve the budget as presented with only a provincial grant of 41% was also defeated. In 1956 the provincial grant paid -_ LL- L“ ,1 Members of council ob- served that $20,000 was spent in construction last year. With plans being laid for some improvement to town roads and some things al- ready contracted for, it was ï¬nally agreed that the mun- icipality Would have to seek a supplementary appropria- tion approval to carry out the roads programme as planned. Following a lengthy discussion the Richmond Hill Dis- trict High School Board Monday decided to request its Budget Committee (M. Kinnee Chairman) to reconsider its proposed 1957 Budget and attempt to increase that portion covered by provincial grants and decrease the part borne by the local taxpayers. The resolution requesting the Budget Committee to take this action was moved and sec- onded by two of Richmond Hill’s representatives H. Sayers and R. Wood. It is expected a revised budget will be pres- ented at a special meeting scheduled for March 25. The Finance Committee had earlier estimated the 1957 budget at $638,000 which is a $109,400 jump over the 1956 budget. The 1956 budget was set at $528,600. Only 41 per cent of this year’s total budget would be covered by provincial grants. fl, - .. vaJVV for capital expegdi'tures and $35,000 for maintenance in 1957.

Lions Hall Over 100 Prizes In reply to questions by Trus- tee Rumble on the general ï¬nan- cial condition of the Board as of the end of 1956, Secretary-Treas- urer Mrs. J. R. McAllster replied that the Board had ï¬nished the year with a $6,258 surplus. Al- though the Board received a bill in January from the Weston School Board for $40,000 to cov- er tuition fees for children at- tending Weston Collegiate from the western part of Vaughan township. During the evening members also agreed to a $8,420 cut in the commercial department estimates and $1.120 in the industrial de- partment. $6,258 Surplus Trustee Middleton objected to the fact the Board has to supply the pupils with their musical in- struments for the band and orâ€" chestra. “Students should pro- vide their own instruments in- stead of having them purchased out of public funds", advocated Mr. Middleton. Trustee Sayers said the matter had been discuss- ed before but no change had been made in the present system. Chairman 'Damblyn said any pol- icy by which the pupils had to purchase their own instruments could be classed discriminatory as some pupils could afford to buy their own while others Would be unable to. In the matter of the transpor- tation costs Trustee Rumble ob- jected to what he termed an un- realistic estimate in last year's outlay for transportation. He reported the Board had budgeted for $90,000 for transportation in 1956 but actual expenditures had only' amounted to $32,000. ‘This is a nice way to get extra money to juggle around in the‘budgetâ€. retorted Trustee Middleton. This year's transportation costs have been estimated at $55,000. 1 At the next meeting the mem- bers will consider the adVisabHity of having the students either pur- ‘chase outright or pay a deposit on padlocks for use on their lockers. A ï¬gure of $650.00 was included in this year‘s. budget for the purchase of padlocks. Last year the Board spent $1,200 on padlocks. It was reported that such a move had been opposed in th: past on the grounds it Would involve extra bookkeeping duties for the office staff. The majority of the Board agreed some change should be made in the present arrangement whereby the Board is bearing the whole expense. Trustee P. Macfarlane suggested the Students Council could be hired to handle a deposit system for the padlocks. Mr. Kinnee said this expendl- ture was included in anticipation of the proposed Richmond Hill addition. On motion of Trustees Rumble and Sayers and carried by the Board this $1,112 item was struck from the budget. As the debenture issue for the Richmond Hill addition has yet to be ap- proved it was considered prema- ture to list an expenditure for new office equipment and extra 'staff. Will Change Padlock Purchases Trustee Rumble objected to a $1,112 item for additional oflice equipment and extra staff for the Richmond Hill school. Both Trustees Rumble and Middleton objected to the expen- diture of $4,500 for physical ed- ucation. They advocated a saving be made by requiring students to provide their own sport equip- ment with the exception of foot- ball equipment and standard equipment for theï¬eld and gym. Chairman Tamhlyn said the Board was proud of its sports teams and that in the case of football and track shoes they are passed around among 200 stud- ents. The Middleton-Rumble res- olution was voted down. I have never been asked to a meeting". Mr. Kinnee replied it had “probably been an error on my partâ€, however he felt the committee chairmen Should make it a point to get in touch with Finance Committee. Trustee Say- ers suggested in future commit- tee chairmen should provide the Finance Committee with the necessary estimates for their own departments. SINGLE COPY 10c
