AURORA : Heads of industry and residents of Aurora are speculat~ ing on the possibility that the new well, gorging more than 500 gallons per hour. could be res- ponsible for the unprecedented shortage of water for this time of year. Pressure is at a low ebb with both industry and home owners complaining of the dribâ€" ble from the taps at peakJoad hours. This first class covered basic outline of first aid. necessary qualifications of a first-aider, the structure of the body. and the application of dressings and bandages. , Both instructors were impress- ed with the good turnout for the first class. but advise that easily double that number could be handled. and there is still time to enroll.

The Liberal joins with the com- munity in extending deepest sym- fathy to the family in their great oss. Born in Alliston, Ontario, Mrs. Hill had resided in Richmond Hill for the past ten years. She was”? faithful adherent of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church and was an active member of the Catholic Women's League. The community was saddened to learn last week of the untime- 1y passing of Mrs. George Hill. She passed away in Oakville- Trafalgar Hospital on May 1, fol- lowing a heart attack. She had been ill for five days. Mrs. G.

A lovely affair of the lat springseason was the luncheon given by the Womans Association of the Richmond Hill Presbyter- Mrs. VJ. T. Hepburn introduced the Speaker and spoke of Mrs. “When the committee brings in an over-all report with plans for the year'I am sure it\will "Then we have no money for Parks development,” said Coun- cillor Plaxton. He suggestedvhow- ever that although this money couldn’t be spent on park de- velopment the council had an obligation to the ratepayers to use a similar amount for pad: purposes. He moved seconded by Councillor Haggart that $8,000 from the number two account Iproceeds of $500 per’lot levy) be set aside for park develop- ment. An amendment by Coun- cillor S. F. Tinker and Council- lor Jones asked that ‘the program of Park Development for this year be presented by the Parks Committee, and when approved by council the expenditure be fi- nanced from number two ac- count.” The amendment carried with the support of the mover and'seconder and deputy-reeve Perkins. Councillors Plaxton and Haggart voted against the‘ amendment. “It‘s high time We did some- thing along the line of Park _de- development said deputyâ€"reeve Perkins.’ There was some discussion of the $8,000 mentioned at a previ- ous meeting as being available for Parks improvement A con- ference with solicitor J D. Lucas revealed that this amount in a special account is available only for purchasing new park land. The fund which totals between $7,000 and $8,000 is made up of funds realized from the sale of landgiven for park purposes by subâ€"dividers. The provincial law requires however that these funds be used only for purchase of park land and all expenditures are subject to the aproval of the Ontario Department of Planning. Councillor S. F. Tinker thought council should have a recom- mendation on the adoption of the suggestion for 3 Parks Commis- sion or a Parks Committee and that such a body should present a plan to council for approval. Councillor Plaxton said 'there was a meeting next week of the Parks Committee with people in- terested in promoting Parks de- velopment in the town. Lovely Spring Luncheon At Presbyterian Church Councillor Jones said he was in favor of making a start on parks development but suggest- ed that an over-all plan should be submitted with a budget of planned expenditure in all pro- jecls. Councillor Plaxton asked for $600 to buy sod for the Glenbrae park, a lot about 310 feet by 100 feet. He said the ratepayers had offered to lay the sod with volun- teer labor and were anxious to get ahead with lhe work as quickly as possible. Plans for Richmond Hill Parks development were the subject of considerable discussion at a short meeting of Town Council Monday evening. Parks Committee Chair- man Donald Plaxton asked council for a vote of $600. for sodding a small parkette in Glenbrae subdivision but the majority of council thought it best to postpone any expen- diture until an over-all plan of parks development for the whole town could be presented to council.

Councillor Haggart asked if Mr. Mortson had been contacted re possibility of reviving the bus service in town. It was arranged to see Mr. Mortson in the near future. Councillor Haggart also asked for progress reports on the opening of the new str et through the Mills property no th from Markham Road and the sur- veying of Station Street. It was stated both matters are in the hands of local officials. A report from the engineer estimated the cost: of paving a parking lot at rear of Municipal Building at $1420. Councillor Tinker thought the estimate pretty high and council on mo- tion of Councillor Jones and Perkins decided to invite com- petitive bids on the work. Police Radio It was announced that the On- tario Municipal Board hearing on Richmond Hill’s zoning by law will be held Wednesday June 19 at 10 am. The council members were critical of the Board ruling which demanded that a copy of the by-law be mailed to every ratepayer. The by‘law is a thirty- page doeument, and ‘9 postage charges alone will amount to more than $300. “It’s a needless expenditure of money," said Councillor Plaxton.

This move is necessary in order to accommodate the new Dominion Supermarket to be located at the corner of John and Yonge Streets. Planning Director R. Forrest re- ported he was experiencing some difficulty with the Department of Highways in his attempt to gain approval for Dominion stores to have an entrance into their property from Yonge Street. In addition Mr. Sumner offered to assume the cost of widening John Street and the repairs to Dudley Avenue. Council will stu- dy Thornhill’s offer before makâ€" ing any decision. Thornhill Chairman A. Sum- ner and Trustee F. Tucker stated this village would be willing to participate in the township’s share of the $42,400 for the cost of repairing the bridges, but would not share in the ecst of the road repairs. This bridge figure is not yet complete as the township has another two bridges to reconstruct. The province a'so pays a portion of the cost of this bridge work. Markham Township Council on Monday received a new offer from the Thornhiil Village Trus- tee‘s regarding the controversial issue of Thornhiil‘s participation in the cost of repairs to roads and bridges damaged by Hurricane Hazel in 1954. For sometime now Thornhill has refused to partici- pate in these extra costs, main- taining that by prior agreement they are only responsible for the upkeep of Vtheir own roads. Thornhill Makes Offer Hurricane Hazel D a m a g e Vaughan council has given approval of the Renwick de- velopment at Kleinburg. The 40~lot plan will now be sub- mitted to the Department of Planning and Development. The Ontario Municipal Board has announced its ap- proval of the 92-acre Mere- dith Subdivision. Located at Richvale in Vaughan Town- ship, the property was or- lglnally part of the Scott farm. The matter of its de- velopment has been in dis- cussion stages for several years. A hearing was held recently by Municipal Board repre- sentatives to bring the mat- ter to a conclusion. At that time, the Board deferred de- cision until a statement was received from the Trustees of Township School Area 1. Markham and Vaughan. re- garding school accommoda< tion and educational taxation for such a development. It appears that the School Board has satisfied the Mun- icipal Board that the devel- opment will not be an un- usual burden on education in the area.

"I have a new church . . . finished in good state and all painted.” Most of .the Work was done by the congregation and the pews were made by hand and then owned and occupied by the peop- to construct a church and engage a resident clergyman. The peti- tion stated that the people were willing to purchase a rectory and land for a church and if necess- ary to construct a burying ground. Among the subscribers of the petition was Matthew Tee- fy, local pastmaster and a man who had a great deal to do with the early development of Rich- mond Hill. On March 17 1852, the Rt. Rev. Armand F M. de Charbonnel, second BishOp of Toronto, reâ€" ceived a petition from the R0- man Catholic population of Rich- mond Hill requesting permission During these'years, the Rev. Fr. Edward Gordon’s name stood out as one who worked unflinch- ingly in serving these outlying townships. The Rev. John Baptist Proulx was another whose de- \‘otion to the mission at New- market was of great value in esâ€" tablishing permanent congrega- tions in the district. Petition For Church In the years before, the dis- trict had been visited only occas- ionally by missionary priests from York. The first Roman Ca- tholic Church in York was erect~ ed in 1822 and the priests stat- ioned there looked after the needs of the northern missions.

In the spring of 1857 the first Roman Catholic €hurch was opened in the com- munity. Over 500 persons braved the somewhat unfavourable wea- ther to attend the memorable event. A report from the “Toron- to Mirror” of that year reveals that friends of the congregation journeyed in carriages from as far away as Toronto to evince their‘interest in the opening of the church. It is said that the col- lection amounted to about $240 on that Sunday The original church was erected on Mill 313., near Hall Street. Over 500 Attended first Church Opening In 1857 The ribbon is cut -â€" and Mayor William Neal of Richmond Hill has declared the Birrell Motors Ltd., building officially opened. The ceremony took place last Friday night in the big new building as part of a full evening’s programme. More than 1,000 persons visited the building, to look over the new cars, enjoy refresh- ments and entertainment and to extend congratulations and welcome to the Birrell family as Richmond Hill bus- inessmen. » THE REV. F. MCGINN 9, 1957, In recent years, the congrega- tion has made rapid advances. Under Fr. McGinn’s direction, the congregation has erected Our Lady of Fatima School and pro- grass is being made on the sec- ond separate school in Richmond Hill, Our Lady, Help of Christ~ ians. school in Beverley Acres to be opened in September. In ad~ dition Our Lady of Annunciation School has been opened at Oak Ridges to meet the demands of religious education in that com- munity. The present church was erect- ed under the guidance of the Rev. Patrick McMahon ‘in 1894. He was parish priest in this area for fourteen years, which lncumben~ cy was only terminated at his death in 1907. It is of interest to note that the first priest ordain- ed from the parish was the V. Rev. John R. Teefy, C.S.B., Sup- erior of St. Michael’s College. In 1858. the Newmarket Mis- sion was divided and Thornhill became a district mission with Richmond Hill and other neigh- bouring communities attached. The Rev. Lewis Grifia was the first resident parish priest for the mission and he continued here until 1860. There was a series of resident parish priests in the parish until 1913. In that year, the Rev. Edward Kelly took the post. He remained here un- til 1930. In 1918, he changed his residence to Richmond Hill, thus making Thornhill the mission church. In 1931, the Rev. Ed- ward Keane was appointed pas- tor and remained here until 1942 when the present incumbent. the Rev. F. McGinn arrived. The opening was an important event. At eleven o‘clock, Fr. Mcâ€" Nulty. attired in his robes pro~ ceeded around the church at- tended by the choir and the con- gregation. The congregation then entered the church, described as being ‘a beautiful structure of convenient size", and Fr. McNul- ty said the Mass. Miss Edmonds played the choir's accompani- ment on a melodeon. The dedic- atory sermon was preached by the Rev. Fr. Rooney, Professor in St. Michael’s College. he who constructed them Important Event “Our case has been weak- ened through the unfortun- ate decision of Vaughan Township to adopt a differ- ent attitude," said Reeve W. L, Clark. "Apparentlv Vaughan isn’t interested in any profits”. added Mr. Clark. Both Markham and Richmond Hill have present- ed a united front "against any attempts by the T.T.C. to end the agreement before its legal termination of 1960. Reeve Clark and Councillor Mrs‘ K. James will represent Markham at the hearing. Markham Township in conjunction with Richmond Hill is expected to instruct their joint solicitor J. D. Lu- cas to engage special coun- sel for the T...TC Municipal Board hearing to be held on May 315: in Toronto. For some time now the T.

In reply to questioning it was stated the police department was una- In the matter of negotiating some arrangement with Mr. Sabiston regarding the operation of his pit Deputy-reeve Deacon stated, “the property owners just seem to want one thing". Mr. Deacon also felt some at least of the property owners knew that the extra 60 acres was for an expansion of the gravel pit. “Mr. Sabiston tried to co-operate with council but the people down there don’t see things his way,” stated Councillor H. Cosburn. Councillor Mrs. James main- tained Markham is not getting enough revenue from the opera- tion of gravel pits. "While oper- ating as such they are only as- sessed as farm land and when they move on all the townshin has left is a hole in the ground", stated Mrs. James “The minister must have secur- ed his information elsewhere because we only asked for auth- ority to control and not prohibit gravel pits”, stated Reeve W. L. Clark. Mr. Clark remarked that over loaded gravel trucks create problems for the police who have to check them. These over load- ed trucks cause excess damage to township roads. Deptuy-reeve D. Deacon stated he opposed the legislation because it would only apply to a certain area and not the whole township. Solicitor J. D. Lucas replied the legislat- ion had been drawn up that way as council might not always find it necessary to excercise control over pits in every part of the township. While agreeing that a delegat- ion has every right to make repesentations to the minister Councillor/ Mrs. K. James re- marked, “this delegation has made a serious charge when they say we are trying to put a man out of business". Mrs. James stat- ed that the minister has failed to name the members of the delegation as requested to by Markham. Council will, meet Mr. Warrender this week to discuss the matter further. Control Not Prohibit Several months ago Council ‘attempted to have the provincial government pass legislation giv- ing the municipality the power to license and control gravel pits. However the proposed legislat- ion bogged down in committee and never reached the floor of the legislature. In reply to a statement that the province was influenced in its decision by an unnamed delegation, W. K. War- render, the Minister of Municip- al Affairs, in a letter tabled Mon- day stated he had not been in- fluenced by a delegation but; “by the fact the legislation is dis- crimatory". Mr. Warrender con- tended the legislation could put any present pit operator out of business. Markham Township Council in session Monday, decided to ask Mr. ‘2. Sabiston owner of the Sab- iston Gravel pits located at German Mills on the 3rd con- ce55ion to meet with them with them regarding his alleged en- croachment in his grave! operat- ions on a township road allow- ance.

The Merchants’ Association wanted council to re- fuse to iSSue a licence to any grocery using trading stamps. As Markham has no system of groc- ery store licensing it was impos- sible to consider the request. Representatives of the Rich- mond Hill High School Board will meet with Council on May 21 to discuss the 1957 High School budget.

Particu- lar emphasis is being placed on the area of the Thornhill High School and the new separate schooli The provincial govern- ment has informed council that it must re-apply for approval of Water Area No 1 to the newly- created Water Resources Com- miSsioni Previously all water and sewage plans were handled by the Department of Health. Mrs. James felt it was unfor- tunate that the province had not passed legislation permitting a municipaliy to not only cut but also spray weeds on private pro- perty. Spraying has proved to be far more effective than cutting. Mr. Marritt said any spraying op- eration would have to be hand- led with care or the municipality could be held liable for damages. Council is seriously considering raising the $3.50 per hour charge for cutting weeds on private prop- erty to a higher figure. County Weed Inspector P, Marritt waited on council to re- view with them the problem of controlling weeds on both public and private property. As a means at forestalling any outbreak of poison ivy, Mr. Marritt suggested Markham might adopt a policy similar to that of some of the northern municipalities and spray poison ivy on private property free of charge, nomally if the municipality has to cut weeds on private property the cost of such cutting is charged to the proper- ty owner. , North York Township has 111‘ formed Markham of an immed- iate increase in the wholesale price of water being supplied to the Highland Park area. North York stated Metro has increased its price from 15 cents to 19 cents per 1,000 gallons. North York will in turn increase its price from 23 cents to 25.9 cents per 1,000 gallons.
