Criticizes Vaughan Road Decision Commenting on recent re- ports that Vaughan Town- ship will only require gravel roads instead of-paved roads in the new Meredith subdi- vision, Reeve W. L. Clark of Markham Township com- mented Tuesday, “that is one concession Markham Town- ship certainly won’t give any real estate agents or subdi- viders". “We intend to en- force any subdivision agree- ments and I for one consider paved roads and storm sew- ers a necessity. “Any subdiv- vision agreement must above all protect the interests of the general public," conclud- ed Reeve Clark. “Vaughan Township seems to be in a hurry to proceed with its development“, re- marked _ Deputy-Reeve D. Deacon. The Meredith subdi- vision is located in the Thornhill part of Vaughan Township and is scheduled for development this year. Non-essentials, Liberty; In a” "tings, “verity. Mail Delivery All Homes R eq u i re Door Slot A postal regulation which must be noted now by every householder is that doors where deliveries are to be made MUST be fitted with letter slits. These at procurable at Richmond Hill stores. All citizens are urged to take immediate steps to see that such letter slots are installed at once, as delivery will not be com- menced until at least 90 per cent of the households are so equip- ped. During the past three years constant surveYS have been made in Richmond Hill with the view to establishing the letter deliv- ery service. Postal delivery announced for Rlchmond Hill several weeks ago will come into operation within a few weeks, Postmaster E. T. Willis announced this morning. Richmond Hill householders should take immediate steps to have a slot for receipt of mail cut in the front door, or a suit- able receptacle installed adjac- ent thereto. Slots cut in the door should be not less than four and a half inches by one and a quarter inches, but pref- erably six inches by one and a quarter inches, and placed 36 inches, if possible, but not less than 718 inches from the finished floor line. This type of install- ation has been found most suit- able from the standpoint of del- ivery and safety of mail. Pea Factory Now Open According to Mr. H. G. Seales. operator of the local food pack- ing plant, the pea crop is a good one and there is an unusually good supply of first grade peas this year. Operating since last Monday, the plant now keeps be- tween 50 and 60 people busy from m_orning till night. Mr. Seales said that the wet weather. slowed down operations for a bit but he is hoping for good clear weather which will prevent the peas from ripening too quickly. The plaht which has operated every summer for a number of years. is located on Centre St. East. Richmond Hill has receiv- ed five tenders for the work of extending the sewage dis- posal plant. The tenders range from $234,749. to a high of $338,400. It is expect- ed that the first figure sub- mitted by Humphreys and Glasgow Ltd., will be accep~ ted. With the equipment to be added to the plant. it will likely cost in the neigh- borhood of $350,000 when it is completed and ready for operation. The water tank and trunk main project is expected to cost about $226,000. The proposed project to erect a three bedroom brick home in Richmond Hill in 24 hours as an experiment came in for some criticism at Tues- day‘s council session. Rich- mond Hill Councillor James Haggart questioned how the Building Inspector would have an opportunity of ins- specting the construction when a large portion of the work was to be done at night. “It’s utterly ridicul- ous", he said. Reeve W. J. Taylor agreed. Mr. Haggart has suggest- ed that the company doing the project should pay Mr. Hollowell for staying up all night. The matter is to be given further consideration. The buzzer system for Richmond Hill Fire Depart- ment was off for a while on Saturday afternoon, how- 2\ er the trouble u as located before any emergency_ enfi sued. ,Storm Damage Light Not a great deal of dam- age was done by the high wind on Saturday, according to the local hydro officials. Power was ofi‘ for an hour in Richmond Hill until the local hydro power intake was switched to a feeder to the north. Thornhill, however, suffereda break in service for a longer period. The break was caused by a large tree falling across the hydro line at the railway to the south of Carrville Road. This latter line is the main feeder for the hydro stations athichmond Hill and Thorn- hi 1. Limbs falling over lines throughout the district caus- ed some other delays in pow- er transmission. Questions Building Stunt 5 Tenders Sewage Plant The announcement was made by William Mirrlees of ' the Lions Club who expressed the hope that every resident of the town would take advantage of this special opportunity. All persons, 12 years of age and over in Richmond Hill will be given the opportunity of safe- guarding their health by having a free chest X-ray when a com- munity X-ray survey begins July 15th. Announced this week, the survey will be promoted by the Richmond Hill Lions Club and conducted by the National Sani- tarium Association. Plan Free T. B. X-Ray For A“ Richmond Hill Residents The Unit will be located in front of the Town Hall and will be in operation from 2.00 to 9.00 pm. on both July 15 and 16. The X-ray survey is part of the war on tuberculosis begun in 1945‘by the National Sanitarium Association to find this disease in its early stages. An x-ray will take only a few moments of each person’s time, Mr. Mirrlees pointed out. It is free, the cost is borne by the pro- ceeds from T.B. Christmas Seals.

Mr. Lucas stated that Dr. A. E. Berry, General Manager of the commission is conferring with Chairman L. Cumming of the Municipal Board in an endeavour to find some 501â€" ution to the problem. It is expected the province will amend its present legislation ACCIDENTS 43 Solicitor J. D. Lucas in- formed Markham Township Councillor Mrs. K. James felt “the provincial govern- ment had shown a lack of co-ordination in its legislat- ive program when it had alâ€" lowed a municipality to set up a water area under the terms of the Municipal Act and then turn around and pass legislation setting up a new commission and new procedure." at the next session of the legislature which won’t be held before the {all at the very earliest.

These min- iature plates, when read by ex- perts compare favourably with the full size X-rays. Tuberculosis of the lungs, if found in the early stage and treated, is almost always com- pletely curable. Nevertheless, nearly as many Canadians died from this disease during the war as were killed by enemy action. Many of these were needless deaths Mr. Mirrless stated. Tu- berculosis is a disease that can be controlled, but it is highly communicable, and too often it is not discovered until it has reached advanceg stages. Only the X-ray plate can "discover the disease at the early stage. More persons die from Tuber- culosis in Ontario than from all other infectious diseases com- bined. Regarding the water, Mr. Ca- verley said the project could run as long a time as the municipalâ€" ity wished. He noted too that because the water tower and mains would require a minimum of service. ,the Commission would not assume the operation of the waterworks. In the meantime, public health officials are most anxious that whole-hearted co-operation. With everyone give the project their this co-operation they are con- vinced that Richmond Hill will be well in the forefront of On- tario communities in the preven- tion of Tuberculosis. Commission would assume the maintenance and operation of the sewage system for thirty years. which is the duration of the project. Payment is made on a sinking fund plan with the municipality paying both interest and principal each year. Accord- ing to the draft agreement re- viewed by those present, the mu- nicipality is protected against having sewage from other muni- cipalities piped into its system and is in no way liable for un- paid debts of other municipali- ties also having work done by the Commission. In reply to a question by Councillor Don Plax- ton, Mr. Caverley said that in case of a law suit. the Commis- sion would be the person sued. Regarding the operation of the plant, it was learned that the whole plant would be assumed by the Commission. Remaining debts against the original plant, however ,will he paid off by the municipality through the usual channels. Water Assistance An important meeting of Richmond Hill Council was held last Tuesday morning when the municipality was au- thorized to enter into two agreements with the newly- formed Ontario Water Resources Commission for the con- struction of an extension to the sewage dispOsal plant and the erection of a second water storage tank. Several trunk water mains are included in the latter project. In both instances, the motions were moved by Councillor Donald Plaxton, who has pressed for action on this matter for some months. Present at the meeting was Mr. David Caverly of the Water Resources Commission. It was in- tended that the Commission General Manager, Dr. A. E. Berry would attend, however, this was not possible. Mr. Caverley reviewed the unions aspects of having pro- jects under the CommiSSion He told council that in the instance of the sewage extension the diary Cxecufiue Advertised In . . .

Seventy-eight holidayers hur- rying back to Toronto late Tues- day morning were apprehended by the Markham Township Police as they sped along Don Mills Rd. Chief C. Wideman had the speed trap out and thus caught the un- wary. The traffic o‘fer the week- end however was not unduly hea- vy, There were two minor break- ins in the township over the week end. The entries were made while the occupants were away on hol- iday. On the Arnold Subdivision. just south of the police office. a home was entered throu h the window, and a barbers op at Unionville was also broken into Nothing was taken in either cgse. During a power break on Sat- urday afternoon, when the lights were not working at the inter- section of Don Mills Road and No. 7 Highway, two late model cars rammed each other causing around $4,000. worth of damage. Though four occupants of the cars were taken to the East Gen- eral Hospital, they were releas- ed after examination. The Cadil- lac involved was owned and driv- en by John Kostek of Toronto, the other car was a brand new Chrysler Imperial, owned by P. Wagman of Toronto, and driven by Saul Wagman. It was finally decided to have the town engineer meet with representatives of the Bailey in- terests tn discuss the drainage. ...° -â€" Members of council discussed briefly the drainage problems at Taylor Mills Drive during the week-end. It was learned that a box culvert proposed) for the area would relieve the drainage somewhat. Several members of council suggested lowering the ditch and raising the road. Reeve W. J. Taylor contended that the matter was up to Bailey Devel- opments as the town has not yet accepted the development. En- gineer Donald Redfern said that the ultimate success of the box culvert depended on the deep- ening of the watercourse flowing through the Perkins and Reycraft farms. The controversy over this deepening has not been settled yet and Richmond Hill has not yet received permission to enter these properties. _ With first and second readings now given, the matter will now be taken before the Ontario Municipal Board for sanction, before the third and final read- It was of interest to learn, however. that the proposed Elm- wood and Harding sewer proj- ects cannot be done under the Commission's jurisdiction. Ac- cording to present legislation lo- cal improvement projects are not approved for assistance. It is expected that the matter will be brought up in the legislature next spring for amendment. ing is given â€" Photo by Lagerquist 78 Holidayers Caught Speeding SINGLE COPY 10c
