Seven tenders were re- ceived. ' Vaughan Buys Police Cruisers HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 SINGLE COPY ’ti Reeve Taylor and members of council made it plain that such a change was desirable but in the meantime asked that considera- tion be given by the Bell Com- pany to a reduction in the 25 cent toll charge on Toronto calls. Mr. Garside promised to give con~ sideration toAcouncilA’s request. Mr. Garside pointed out that the Bell Company is continually studying and reviewing the situ- ation and at the present time there is evidence that the major- ity of subscribers would not be in favor of having the free To- ronto calling privilege at the in~ creased rate which would be necessary. At present time he said only 8.9 per cent of Rich- mond Hill subscribers are pay- ing over $3.00 per month for To~ ronto calls. This would indicate there is not sufficient demand for the change. Mr. J. Garsides, Bell Telephone manager, was present in answer to a letter from council enquiring as to when Richmond Hill phone users might expect to be includ- ed in the Toronto free calling area. Mr. Garsides said it is im- possible to say when such a change may take place. “It will depend on the development of the district surrounding the Met- ropolitan area,” he said. Reeve Taylor said that many local people had the impression that free calling in the Toronto area which now is enjoyed as far north as the Avenue exchange would be extended to Richmond Hill this year. Deputy-reeve Plaxton argued that there is a much greater de- mand for the service than is in- dicated by the present number of Toronto calls. People are re strained from making Toronto calls by the toll charge of twenty- five cents for three minutes, he said. - m Councillor 'Haggart pointed out that the 25 cent toll charge to Toronto seems excessive in comparison with a charge of 10 cents to call Willowdale. Reeve W. J. Taylor presided at Monday night’s Rich- mond Hill Town Council meeting in the absence through illness of His Worship Mayor Ken. W. Tomlin. The bus- ness agenda which kept members in session from 7 to 10.30 pm. included a discussion of local telephone service, consideration of personnel problems with the Ontario Water Resources Commission which will soon take over operation of the local sewage disposal plant, and the drain- age problem in Beverley Acres.
