Commenting that this meant a credit of seven mills f r the township, Reeve Clarke said, “It was a good deal we made." And he believed the mon- ey should be used to relieve tax- ation. “It also shows the value to the taxpayers of participating in the fight. And now that the For many years, especially durâ€" ing the depression, the bus line lost money and this deficit was made up by the three municipal- ities.

' Markham Township Council de- cided Monday afternoon to start examining the possibility of hav- ing to make new bus tsansporta- tion arrangements on Yonge St., with the termination in 1960 of the present agreement with the T.T.C. Reeve W. L.

Hiwever the matter was finally left with the road committee, the road superintendent, and the en- gineer from the Department of Highways for further study.

Mr. Lucas recalled the T.T.C. Lad opposed the establishment of a bus line on Bayview Ave., op- erating from Newmarket to a point in Metro Toronto. Also the local municipalities had opposed its establishment as it would be a competing line. However, the owner did secure a franchise and Mr. Lucas felt the possibility of someone obtaining a franchise to operate on Yonge St. should be explored before 1960. Deputyâ€"reeve W. Dean offered the resolution instructing Reeve Clark to contact Richmond Hill and Vaughan Council in regard to the bus line. Gravel Tenders Township solicitor J. D.
