Lucas attended the meeting and assurea council he would do everything possible to get early action in the matter. Walk-ways Reeve W. J. Taylor urged that every effort be made to speed up the application to the Municipal Board. “This work is of vital im- portance to Richmond Hill and I think we should press for im- mediate action," said Reeve Tay- lor in moving a resolution that the solicitor and engineer be in~ structed to make immediate con- tact with the provincial authori- ties. His motion was seconded by Councillor Jones and given un~ animous support. Council also conferred at length with the solicitor re the status of the several designated easements in new sub-divisions “hich have been used for drain- age. Ratepayers have contended that these drainage easements were meant to be pedestrian- ways and were so designated on subdivision plans. It has been contended that some people thought they were buying homes near walk-ways but now find they are living beside open ditches with no provision for pathways. At the last council meeting Glenâ€" brae Ratepayers interviewed council relative to an easement in ‘that district and asked coun- cil for clarification. On motion of Reeve Taylor. the solicitor was asked to examine the subdivision agreements and property deeds and report to council on the position of the municipality in relation. to all uch easements. ence On Road At a recent council meeting council granted permission to a resident on Paliser Crescent to extend his fence on to town prop- erty. 0n complaint of a neigh- bour council decided to rescind the permission and will ask the l'ouseholder to remove the fence from town property. The neigh- bour contended the fence inter- ferred with his use of the drive- way. “We are most anxious to get ahead with this work, but things seem to be at a standstill," said Mayor William Neal. A letter from Mrs. N. K. Der- rick. secretary of the Beverley Acres Ratepayers asked that the town bear the expense of erect- ing a map sign showing street 10- cations in the area. It was sug- gested the sign might be erected NOV. 30 â€" Saturday.

J. D. Lucas to contact engineer Redfern at once and do everything poss- ible to speed up approval of several Richmond Hill works projects. The Ontario Water Resources Commission has approved plans for an addition to the local sewage dis- posal plant, the erection of- an elevated water storage tank and the construction of the large box drain which is to solve the drainage problems in the easterly section of the town. Still to be obtained is the approval of the On- tario Municipal Board. , “We will have to set a strict policy and stick to it," said Councillor Jones. Ask For Man Town "Asks Quick Action By Prov. On Public Works VOLUME LXXIX, NUMBER 13 “It sounds like an excellent idea and should be an asset in every community,” said Deputy- reeve Perkins. “I think it would be a very worthwhile project for the Ratepayers Association to undertake.” he said. He felt the town couldn’t undertake to fi- nance the project as there would be similar requests from every district. ‘ Councillor Jones pointed out that small maps showing town streets are available at the Mu- nicipal Offices. 7 n ~1.. m Wash Damaged Edmund Alain. 253 Browndale Crescent wrote council claiming $36 damages to his wash. He claimed a quantity of rust and residue came from his taps and ruined three and a half pair of sheets and four pillow slips. On motion of Council!or Jones and Reeve Taylor the Water- works chalrman will get a report from the engineer and present it at the next council meeting. In a general discussion of the water situation Deputy-reeve Perkins. chairman of the Waterâ€" works Committee, said he didn’t think the town treatment of water supply for iron content was proving very satisfactory. “I don‘t think it's worth a darn," said the deputy-reeve. Approve Debenture Having recently opened his of- fice in this area. Mr. Rosenberg previously practiced Chartered Accountancy in Montreal, where he also held a lecturing post at the University of. Sir George William collegg atjthe Shopping Centre. Council members thought the idea a very good one but sug- gested it was a project which might be undertaken by the Ratepayers Association. site. The issue \i'ill be financed through the Ontario Municipal Improvement Corporation. Rumble Ave. The solicitor advised that Mu- nicipal Board approval has been given for the issuing of deben- tures to the amount of $20,500 for the new Crosby Avenue school Council will- contact Vaughan Township and ask concurrence in plans for the annexation of the Rumble Avenue area.

RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26,1957, “I feel however,” said Chief Wideman, “that there is a defin- ite slowing down of traffic in that area. We notice particularly the difference in Victoria Square and Buttonville. We skill have some complaints over trucks and cars speeding but I am pleased with the way traffic is slowing down.” Over a thousand charges o£ speeding on the eight and a quar- ter miles length of the Don Mills Road in Markham Township have been made by the Markham Township ‘Police since January lst. reports Chief Clarence Wide- man. 1000 Speeders Don Mills Road Since January Chief Wideman gave most of the credit to the use of the speed trap. “We tried other ways, such as road blocks, to warn Speeders to slow down but the hard way, using the speed trap and issuing the summons, seems to produce the best results.” ‘ Chief Wideman stated of the thousand caught speeding this year on Don Mills Road many were repeaters. However, the two fatal accidents on the road during Ithe year were caused by sleeping at the wheel and careâ€" lessness on the part of the driver. The speed trap was blaced at Victoria Square this week and thirty were caught.

It has faced drainage problems. complaints 3 b 0 u t streets and water supply not to mention complaints about dogs running at large. ing. The complaint was that the large number of cats were re- sponsible for objectionable odors. “I can well imagine they might" remarked one councillor. An- other complaint was that cats perched about in the sun aggra- vated dogs in the neighbourhood and resulted in continuous bark- ing. "In that case it “ouid be the dogs that are a nuisance," said the solicitor. , Council was advised that a bY- law regulating the keeping of cuts could be adopted and it was decided to consult further with the solicitor as to the best meth- od of regulation. A dog bylaw provides a license fee for every dog. A similar bylaw may be adopted to provide an annual li- cense for cats and limiting the number to be kept in one place. NEWMARKET : A study advisability of annexing bouring land will be met At Monday morning's meetinv council members were confrontea with a novel problemâ€"the con- trol of cats.

The 250 homes in Doncaster and the 400 homes in Highland Park both receive their water supply from North York. ‘~ The matter of an adequate water supply for the Highland Park and Doncaster areas was the subject of a heated debate at Monday’s meeting of Markham Township Council. Councillor Mrs. K. James brought the mat- ter forcibly to the attention of council when she remarked, “I want to know how long the people are going to have to put up with this nonsense. referring to the fact Highland Park was again without water for several hours during the past week-:nd. Last Weekend Reeve W. L. Clark felt it was an engineering ~prob1em- and the township‘s consulting engin- eers Babcock a; Scriviner would have to decide if Doncaster is draining Highland Park. “Council was worried about this situation when they were planning the Doncaster sysiem. however. Norm Highland Park Again WithoutWaterSupply Councillor Mrs. James said she ‘had been deluged by calls from irate ratepayers on both days as the water supply dwindled down to a standstill throughout Highâ€" land Park. She thanked the town~ ship police for their “able assis- tance and co~operation, in help~ lng her to handle the many calls and locate the appropriate offic~ ials. when the Doncaster, system was flushed Mrs. James questioned the adequacy of the mains in Highland Park. The feeder main in Highland Park is four inches flowing into six inch main across the Gamble Farm and then into eight or ten inch mains in Don- caster. Councillor Mrs. James claimed the flushing of just one hydrant on Morgan Avenue in Doncaster had been sufficient to drain the available water supply from Highland Park. She sug- gested the installation of check valves to control the pressure in Highland Park. One of the main problems that had to be considered when the new Doncaster system was built was whether or not it will advc-iâ€" sely affect Highland Park when they both have to use the same North York source of suplyu York refused to allow us t9 run 7 other years bit were nbt unduly a 12 inch feeder main up X'ongel M Mr. G.

The new president. John Turner. accepted the oflicial charter for the Jaycees from the immediate past president Eric Brewer. Following a delightful dinner the guest speaker, Gord. Baker, President of District 6, was in- troduced by Brian Longbottom. In his address the district pres- ident outlined the background the Junior Chamber of Com- merce throughout Canada.

Consulting engineer. Jorgenson. who was present at the meeting stated that the 18,000 feet in the Doncaster .system used more water during the two hour flush- ing out process than it would normally use in a 24 hour period. “A check valve won’t save High- land Park, what is needed is a greater source of supply," stated Mr. Jorgenson. It was felt a re- servoir in Highland Park was not feasible or economical. “It was unfortunate the drop in the pressure in Highland Park was so great." stated Mr. Jorg- enson, but he said for the main part the situation will be rect- ified once Markham has its own system of wells in operation. Expect Approval In 10 Days Reeve Clark reported the township hopes to have the ap- proval of the Ontario Municipal Improvement Corporation with- in the next ten days which will cover the financing of Water Area No. 1, and allow the town- ship to develop its own source 01 supply. ' Also present at the meeting Was Mr. Davis. General Manager of Leo's Contracting & Excavating Company. who were the cont- ractors installing the Doncaster system. Mr. Davis was critical of the inspector on the job claim- ing he was “unreasonable and overbearing.” Mr. Jorgenson said it was not the inspectors job to be friendly with the con- tractor. His job is to see that the terms of the contract were carried out and the work done satisfactory. Clark H. Crisp reported tax arrears have been reduced from a high of $122,000.00 at the first of the year to a low of $31,000.00 at present. Mr. Crisp said the ar- rears were high in comparison to Councillor Mrs. James called on council again to consider hiring its own engineer instead of em- ploying consultants, "Engineer- ing fees are bleeding this town- ship white, this Doncaster job along cost us over $10,000 in fees.” stated Mrs. James.
